EasyJet price drop closer to flight

We are going from Bristol to Edinburgh on 28th May. The current 7am flight is £79.

Is this price likely to drop closer to the flight date?

I have checked flights at the end of March and April and they are much cheaper (£30~).

Thanks.

    I have never seen Easyjet prices to go down, fly with them 5 years, always book either very early or in sale.
    Best wins ever:
    2012: Holiday to LA for 2 adults +2 kids for 4 days
    2013: £2 000 Virgin Holiday Voucher!
    2014: $1000 spending money for hols
    2015: 8 night holiday to Thailand

    Jamies / Malkie,

    Regarding Easyjet refunding the difference if the flight cost goes down:

    1.
    The only exception to this is if the lower fares are part of a promotional offer

    2.
    Any easyJet passenger who has made a booking and subsequently finds that lower fares (when taken together with all applicable charges) for the same easyJet flight have become available will be refunded the difference as a credit against future flights on easyJet.

    So whilst they do offer the price gaurantee, i would be suprised if many people actually make use of it. And it won't be a refund onto your card, just towards another fligt (which you may / may not use)

    And as melb states - 28/05 is holiday time - always popular - so chances of flighs reducing in price very very slim (although not impossible!)

    They currently have a sale on, so suggest a re-check.

    I have noticed when easyjet have a "sale", their prices are usually higher than before the "sale".

    Happened to me... :mad:

    Booked a Glasgow - Belfast roundtrip ~ £50 on Thursday night; it had dropped to ~ £40 on Friday. You pay the price you're willing to pay.
