In reply to the person trying to book flights from Manchester to Gran Canaria...
If you're signed in to the EasyJet website, try signing out to see if that makes a difference. Please let me know if it does.

That’s me and no doesn’t make a difference if I’m app signed in or on website not signed in 😊

We are booked for first 2 weeks in July.....did consider first 2 weeks in August as they were £242 total including 1 large suitcase.....just looked again and now £500.
So you can get cheap flights in school holidays you just have to be quick,i decided no because of extra hotel and car hire prices for peak times.....plus it might be too hot in August for an old g1t like me:D

Is there a way to know what price the tickets actually came on sale at, so we can see how much they went up by by the time we bought them?

I suppose the only way is to take a screen shot of the month your after at 6.00 am then check it again later

One thing i did note was how much the return fare for the last few days of August went through the roof very quickly......£55 p/p increased to £185 p/p

Can I assume flexi tickets aren't available yet for purchase?


I need to book a flexi fare ticket for June 2020 but there doesn't seem any available

Attempted to book Bristol to Palma flights for July 2020 when they were released early this morning.... after entering passenger and payment details and then submitting the request to pay I had a message from easyJet about using a screen scraper to access their site even though I was directly signed in via my easyJet account. The booking failed and naturally the costs had pretty much doubled within the few minutes when I checked again. Can only think it was because I had used Kayak a day or two prior to check prices for other airlines...? Anyways fingers crossed for nice weather in Wales next July then.

I see the price of 1 suitcase has increased by £12 for a return flight

I've never had flights in my basket time out as such due to picking seats. From my experience, once you've selected a flight it's yours at that price and won't change during the paying process.

I have actually had the price go up while I was in the process of booking. 2 years ago we were booking flights to Faro, the price was (approximately) £1100 for five of us. I had the seats in my basket etc and everything was ready but I had to answer a phone call. During the less than 10 minutes I was away from the computer, the flight total had gone up to over £1300!!
Moral of that story, don't move from the computer until booking is complete!

Definitely something funny in Easyjet's pricing over the past few days. I booked flights for May ½ term to Portugal, at 6:30am on Thursday - assuming I'd be getting (close to) the best price. When i got to checkout the total price had got to £2500 which seemed high given individual flight prices, but I checked out anyway as I was in a rush and worried they would go up further (there had been a message that there were only four flights available at the price shown).


Today I went back to check and if booking today could have got the same flights for £600 LESS than I paid on Thursday. Really annoying, but nothing I can do about it. Moral of the story, I should have stopped at the point at which I thought it looked expensive rather than being rushed into booking.

For the same flight as before? Different routes have different prices.
