Be careful when booking easyJet on launch day

Great advice to book easyJet on launch day and I do it every year and save hundreds. But....if there is high demand for your flight then the price can jump up very quickly and it may well be best to wait until the following day when demand has slackened again. How do you know when it is best to wait? Well you have to have some idea of what you should be paying in the first place and then you will know. The simple answer is if you want the best price you need to be online when they are released. This may mean going to bed just after midnight (first check) and then getting up early and checking again and then checking regularly throughout the day. Easier for some than others but worth the effort if you get a good deal

    no its not automatic


    Call to claim your voucher. Have your booking reference and flight details to hand, then call Easyjet customer service on 0330 365 5000 (as it's an 03 number, the call will be part of your minutes allowance or cost no more than a standard number). You have to call – you can't claim by email or letter.




    Refund perhaps incorrect as its a voucher

    Alternatively just put an alert on Low Cost Routes website and you'll get a text message when they're released.

    The past few releases have been around 7:00am.
