    So they have not released the flights then? How confusing!

    It is a very competitive market. Summer 2007 flights won't be exactly the same as Summer 2006. easyJet doesn't want to compete head on with Ryanair and changes flights accordingly.

    No pre release email as promised.

    Whats the point in registering? This is the second time this has happened to me.

    Very frustrating.

    They put them on sale without e mailing people. Then they send an e mail saying they are on sale to create a peak in demand, the computer then responds to this peak and puts prices up. It is all about maximising revenue.

    Rang up easyjet and they said there was a computer clitch so it wasn't possible to book the flights! Should be fixed sometime today.....

    Thanks to everyone posting on this thread - got my e-mail regarding Newcastle flights this morning but was able to buy NCL-Krakow return flights last night for £42 which is £8 cheaper than Jet2 at there cheapest.

    I think the effect is that those who need to book will, within reason, regardless of cost, book anyway after those who book cos its cheap. After the first lot have booked - the prices will steadily increase then the email comes out - now higher prices - for the rest!

    I've got 4 e-mails today announcing the summer flights from Liverpool, East Midlands, Newcastle & Scotland - they all arrived between 9:00am & 9:15am
  • I got them today too.... but the flights were available last night.............!

    Price difference £120 from last night to now for two return flights

    I got the e.mail but husband didn't, it was only through me just mentioning it that I have just gone on and booked our Summer flights to Valencia.

    Out of interest Easyjet stopped their winter flights Valencia, when I queried this they said that it wasn't very cost effective over the winter period, so how come when ever I flew in the winter the flights were all pretty full:confused: especially as Valencia is one of the in places to go for a long weekend.

    ThomsonFly operate their Valencia flights all through the year, so there must be a demand.

    Are the Easyjet departures from Gatwick to Palma likely to go on sale within the next week or so, given that Bristol and others now have their summer timetable??? I keep looking but I'm wondering whether anyone has any idea?
