Most expensive Easyjet flights? £606 one way?

Beaker99

Just looking around for a summer break (I know, completely wrong time!) And as of 7.30 this morning, easyjet are charging £606 one way for Luton to Palma Mallorca on 26th May!!

A quick scan around shows most other main destinations on that day peaking at about (an also rediculous) £350 / £399, but £606, wow!

Just made me think, has anyone ever seen a higher easyjet price?

No PMI flights from LTN on Monarch anymore has contributed to these higher prices.
Flights to Ibiza can sometimes get very high.

it's also a Bank Holiday weekend so demand will be even higher...

Ryanair are charging £269 from Stansted that day. Sadly Monarch!!!8217;s cessation has meant less competition and higher prices!

Yes, I know this is peak, peak time, but it's by far the highest price I've ever seen easyjet charge. Just wondered if anyone knows of a higher price on an easyjet route ever?

The loss if Monarch obviously increased prices, and easyjet are quite within their rights to charge what they like. I just wish they'd put more seats on this route.

It’s gonna be a nightmare in the July/Aug peak season!!

I’m sure I saw a thread a few years ago (on this forum or another - can’t remember) which had another very high easyJet fare. I think it was to Nice around the Monaco F1 or Cannes film festival.

easyJet actually have 4 flights LTN-PMI on the day you’ve quoted, listed at £230, £275, £377 and now £616.. The expensive one is the very nice 11am departure. Very desirable, especially combined with the half term, bank holiday, and all the other reasons discussed above.

It’s probably a case that the flight is very nearly full and already incredibly profitable so they can leave the last few seats at a sky high price as it doesn’t matter.

Indeed, only 11 seats left for sale.

And possibly only 9 seats available on the aircraft.

I think I would use OLCI ASAP when open.
