Change flight option for EasyJet holiday

Slinky

I'm looking at booking an EasyJet holiday flying from Luton on a day where there are 2 flights a day to Barcelona. The holiday is defaulting to the evening flight, whereas I'd like the morning flight. At the moment there are flight only tickets for both morning and evening flights available at the same price. I can't seem to find any way to change the flight. Is this possible? Even if it means paying more to get the morning flight?

How do you know there are tickets for the morning flight if you can’t select them?

Because he or she has done a flight-only dummy booking?

In any case its possible they only reserve X per flight for holiday bookings.

Have you tried doing dummy bookings for different weeks to see if you get the option to change times on the same day?

I haven't but I could try different days to a small extent. We're wanting to attend a concert so our options are limited.

I know, was just curious if trying different days gave you the option.

Is there much difference in price if you were to book the flights you want and book the hotel/transfers direct?

I think you will find the package will initially pick up and price the holiday on the cheapest flights.

To change, after your initial search, pick the hotel you want and press the ‘View Holiday’ button.  Then scroll down the page till you find the ‘Your flights’ and then the ‘Alternative flights’ option.  At this point you can select the available flight you want. You can then reprice your holiday based on the option you select.

Bingo! Thanks very much. It's added a whole £6 extra to the cost.

Interestingly, I played around with the dates a bit, instead of going Thursday to Monday, I put in Wednesday to Sunday and it gave me the early flight on the Wednesday, however, this suddenly became a City Break rather than a Holiday, and gave no hold luggage. The Thursday-Sunday option has 23kg each of luggage.  

Now all I need is a Spanish speaker to help me book concert tickets as the website is in Spanish without English translation of the key parts.  Will try and fiddle with Google translate

Ah sorry, didn't pick up on it being package vs flight only.

Yes, much more expensive trying to book ourselves.
