Someone's quoted on facebook saying someone else had posted on an altinkum forum that they had received an email saying flights would be released on Friday !! Possibly an easyjet plus cardholder?.
Might be as well checking though.

Hi jo,have you signed up to lowcostroutes notifications for easyjet flights? If you leave your mobile number they text you the minute easyjet release the flights before they send their emails to everyone,but on the last release I got notified by email at. 1.00am ,much quicker than Easyjets

Post by: soniaP on October 09, 2015, 02:56:24 PM
When the previous round of flights were released (ie up to 26th June)  they did actually give a release date which from memory I think it was the 8th or 10th September. Do you think they will put in a definite release date on the schedule before they release them? Would be helpful if they did but I suppose that would be too easy.

Link below for schedule:-

Calm down calm down hehe....What do we think folks do you reckon tomorrow is release day? poised and ready!
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: soniaP on October 14, 2015, 11:47:58 AM
Last year, we booked on the 14th October and they had been out a few days. They are obviously later this year. Naughty of them to not at least give a date when they will be released. We have booked with Ryanair for next year as we decided we would rather fly from East Midlands as nearer for us.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!

I've been poised and ready since 1st October!! Still poised!

We did the same as you Sonia and piled into Ryanair as soon as they released.....
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: gaye on October 15, 2015, 01:58:59 AM
Jo...look at Ryannair. Seem good to me and great flying times. Also Jet 2
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: Jo Wissett on October 15, 2015, 11:05:06 AM
Hiya Gaye they are not looking cheap to me unfortunately bt that's because I am tied to school Hols. Besides I would much rather stay up all godamn night checking then falling asleep then waking up in a panic all for the sake of saving a few hundred quid!! I will laugh about this when my numbers come up....
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: soniaP on October 15, 2015, 11:48:15 AM
Yeah, especially when there is quite a few of you Jo, it can add up to quite a saving. We have paid about £40 more with Ryanair each  than we did with Easyjet last year and the flights we booked are still available and increasing in price all the time. Also had we booked last year as soon as Easyjet flights were out we would have got the flights for about £150 each return but we were not able to book for a few days so in the end got them at £190 each so the difference in price if we had of booked them as soon as released to what we paid for next year would have been £80 each. I just can't understand why Easyjet don't just say what date they will be releasing the flights though - would make it much easier all round.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: Truth on October 15, 2015, 02:20:04 PM
Ryanair were good prices when released in fairness , well decent anyway .  They , just like all of the airlines as we know , put prices up by the hour after release.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: soniaP on October 15, 2015, 02:47:06 PM
Yeah, not sure how long they had been out when we booked with Ryanair.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: gaye on October 15, 2015, 05:02:11 PM
£612 return for 2...July 22nd-August 5th from Manchester. Can't remember how much we paid with E.J. last Summer.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: Jo Wissett on October 15, 2015, 05:40:19 PM
I will hopefully be paying around £150 return for 2 going off previous years prices hence the all-nighters lol
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: soniaP on October 15, 2015, 06:41:35 PM
Yeah - fingers crossed Jo that you will again get a bargain. I am on edge for you.  I keep checking myself for you if any news when they will be released. Will have to have a drink on your behalf  when they release the flights and you manage to get sorted. Any excuse eh?
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: gaye on October 15, 2015, 11:44:31 PM

What am I on about I meant £150 each return, must be the lack of sleep lol! My personal best was £650 for five of us one August:)

For you peeps waiting for the release of Easyjet's summer schedule....I've just received a newsletter (hopefully it is telling the truth!) from Alpha Rooms which says:

"Summer 2016 flights are available on 22nd October

This is the day we are all waiting for! EasyJet flights for travel between 27th June and 4th September 2016 available from 22nd October
Up to 40% off early booking offers are already available - why not secure your hotel today with our low deposits and make sure you get the best deal?"

Was it only me who received the email saying that tickets are being released in alphabetical order? Sorry Joe !!
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!

Just checked my email Steve and doesnt mention that. Again maybe that is the case but nothing straightforward with information from Easyjet.

Thanks.

Summer Flights Schedule Update: Tomorrow from mid-morning onwards we will be releasing our Summer 2016 flights. Due to the number of flights we are putting on sale, we will be staggering their release throughout the day. Keep your eyes peeled for your chosen flight!

Glad I am already booked with Ryanair as we are off to Tenerife tomorrow and I would have been panicking about missing out on a bargain! Lol

Have just seen a message on FB from Easyjet saying that flight gets will start being released at midday tomorrow. However, due to the number of routes they will be released gradually throughout the day. What a pain....we will have to keep a look out all day for Corfu...They have never done that before...
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: thorpe on October 21, 2015, 10:31:06 PM
They said that flights would be staggered throughout the day on the last release but was all on within  about 3 hours.

Well we have booked one way as our time spans the releases so have to go through it all again in December.
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: Steph ~ on October 22, 2015, 12:38:23 PM
Managed to log in at 8am to book Easyjet flights at last but really silly flight times to/from Manchester (need to fly from there on our 2nd 2016 trip as bringing my neice) so gone for Jet2 in the end! Whilst pricing up Jet2 flights the price dropped, making it not a huge price difference for nice daytime flights. So if you're struggling with Easyjet times, might be worth having a look at others now they're out!   
Title: Re: Summer Flights 2016!
Post by: Donpipez on October 22, 2015, 02:26:27 PM
We booked Ryanair when they were released - Flying from East Midlands with good flight times & decent price but not startlingly low. I was worried that I would miss a bargain when Easyjet were released but felt more comfortable that we were booked & sorted & could now relax. I wasn't sure if I should even look at the Easyjet prices when they were released but having done so I'm now glad I booked when I did as there is little if no difference when comparing similar flight times from Manchester - Perhaps they were when they were initially released?

Well last year we booked on 17 December for July. This year we booked day of release AM and payed 140 more for July again. This is for 2 people from Newcastle. Think Easyjet should be prosecuted if they call themselves a low cost airline from now.

Post by: justphil on October 22, 2015, 10:50:32 PM
We were lucky. Slight change of dates, but only £278 for both of us (return) with 2 hold bags and reserved seats. Nearly £100 less than last year, and we stay an extra 2 days!

Booked at 6am today, and Bobby confirmed tonight that Bardis can accommodate us for the new dates. Very happy bunnies!

I think it would have been about 30 quid a head cheaper with Easyjet than what we booked with Ryanair but we may have missed out on the last "family" room at Bardis if we had waited and the Ryanair times are a bit better for us.
All in all we are happy, especially as I am sat around a pool in Tenerife typing this.....
