Overview
- The Big Seat Release went live on Tuesday 28 July 2026, putting nearly 14 million seats across about 78,000 flights on sale for travel between 14 June and 26 September 2027.
- Early reporting showed many launch fares under £50 with some examples as low as £31.25, but multiple outlets and customers noted prices rose quickly after the release.
- Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert urged people to act immediately because easyJet’s dynamic pricing starts fares low and increases them as seats are booked, making the moment of release the most predictable chance to find a bargain.
- Experts recommended practical booking tactics to improve odds of low fares: compare rival airlines, have an easyJet account and payment details ready, and check both the app and desktop during the release window.
- Package holidays are on sale through October 2027 and the large release could intensify competition for school-holiday dates, so travellers may save money but should expect variability and no guarantee of the lowest price.
