easyjet sale....are tickets released at midnight or staggered?

Do I need to stay up until midnight tomorrow night for June flights? Any way of finding out what routes will be available from Manchester in Early June? thanks

  • I don't know if you've been on - but seats were released at 6am, and I've never done this before ..... prices were going up by the minute - even if you had the flights in your 'basket' (as it were!). Hope you managed to get something.
    Any fool can pay full price!!

    Even a half competent airline would be able to set their pricing software to exploit the hoards caused by the "helpful" MSE promotion of the flight releases.

    Easyjet will be raking money off those who still think release day is a thing with the low cost airlines. It's not 2009 any more.
  • I was checking at 6.30am, and already the flights I wanted (to Barcelona) were approaching £200 return =.


    I was almost panicked into buying, but figured they might drop back over the next few days. It's a popular time I want to travel, but with luggage, it'd be almost £900 for 2 adults & 2 kids! A week beforehand, and we'd be talking £400.


    Thought I was being prepared and would get a decent deal, but obviously beaten to it by a veritable army of others.
