Just found this. Wish they were more specific than quoting a full month for release dates.

Sorry I thought it was early September, I thought I had booked Easyjet then before.
It must be my age...... or Ouzo !

Last year I booked my spring Easyjet flights on 10 September - up to the middle of June. Then up to September came out on 22 October. So the first lot are a bit later this year.

I thought I'd heard/read somewhere that spring flights were previously released in early September. I couldn't find any old posts to confirm this though.

Thanks all, I'll have to patiently wait.

I could book Jet2 or Thomas Cook right now, but their flights are costing about £300 at the moment. Am I right in waiting for Easyjet to release theirs, could I save a fair bit?

Last year we waited and waited for Manchester Easyjet flights to be released (for Aug) and, on the day of release, ended up booking with Jet2 as EasyJet wasn't as cheap as we anticipated - Jet2 obviously amended their prices too  and were only £10 more expensive, with much much nicer flight times.

Ah! That's right Sandy. I had forgotten they had only released flights up to June in September and then released more in October. Sorry Karen. Just know we normally go in about end of June/beginning of July and when we have booked Easyjet Manchester before, it has been in October.

Ryanair early September. Easyjet - October normally.

Ryanair were really early this year . We booked sat around the pool at Bardis Hotel for August 2017 on 16th August this year. Worked out well as we sorted the accommodation in person with Dorita there and then.

I still think easyjet offer amazing value for money but this is the key, you have to be there ready to pounce the seconds after they go live. I speak from many years experience. I am restricted to school holidays and as we were usually 5 it was worth the sleepless nights to grab some amazing deals. Personal best was 5 returns with baggage £650 in Aug. Usually first couple of weeks in Oct for the July and Aug flights. Easyjet never let on the exact date.

Certainly my favourite airline to travel with but I have noticed them slowly getting more expensive over the last 18 months or so.....

Yes they definitely weren't as cheap this year but I was ten minutes after the release which can make all the difference
