Easyjet Tricks - guide discussion

I was up at 6am this morning and booked 4 x return flights to La Palma in the Feb half term holiday for less than £500 all in incl upgrades.
The best I had elsewhere just for flights was £1000.


I used booking.com to hire a house for £300
I used autoeurope.com to hire a car for £120
I used Gatwick direct for valet parking for £60


As the flights were half the price of elsewhere I feel like I got accom/car/parking for free!

Warning - as a regular Easyjet customer I too have noticed on the last 2 flights I have booked that the price increases just before you enter your credit card details . This feels like a scam - I don't know why the price should be allowed to change mid - booking !!! I know they use algorithms to update flight prices but doing this during a booking is wrong - as they are advertising misleading prices at the point you choose your flights and continue to book. If this practice continues I will be looking for another airline.

We travel regularly with Ryanair and EasyJet, hand luggage only. We vacuum pack soft items such as towels and clothing leaving room in the case for hard or bulkier items such as shoes, wash bags, shavers, hair straighteners etc. Obviously you need to stay within the weight restrictions but you’d be surprised how much room you can save this way. Bear in mind you’ll need access to a vacuum pump for the return journey. You can buy vacuum bags from Amazon that have a free hand pump. They take ages but work.

I have a tip which I have found.
I wanted to book a case into the hold on my outgoing flight, but because we had bought property in Spain, I didn't want to bring the case home with me.
I found that this is not possible online, you can do it at the airport, but it is expensive.
It is much cheaper to book the flights without baggage, then phone Easyjet, where you are then able to add hold luggage just one way.

You can pay £5 each way to have your cabin case checked in at easyjet plus bag drop, 3 customers get it for free.. and you get a free 3 tote to carry on plane for your essentials or even handbag etc , and also get a duty free bag once thru checks.
They say ur luggage will be first on the carousel at destination. Have yet to check it out when i fly end of august 2018

I am looking to book flights when released on 27th September, Does anyone know what time they go live on site?

Thanks.

Well that's interesting,


I booked my Easter 2019 flights this morning using the easyjet app.


When I then checked online the system wasn't allowing return dates after 9th April 2019 despite my having successfully booked those dates using the app.


Just a heads up for anyone getting frustrated, try the app...

Logged onto my PC at 6.15 am and flights after April 19 weren't available on desktop but checking app at the same time they were! Very frustrating and I will be logging into the app from my bed next week to buy them!

Just brought return flights to Barcelona for two trips. One in May on a weekend & one in June on a weekend. Total cost for both trips 149. Super cheap. Very happy. Thank you

Booked 5 return tickets to Tenerife at 6am this morning with seat selection £600, the same flights now are over £1000!! Luckily I had downloaded the EasyJet app as like others are saying the website didn’t have the dates available
