It’s fairly common knowledge that (most of the time) the earlier you book a flight, the better. The thing is, it’s tricky to know exactly how early you are when you don’t know exactly when tickets were released. But we’re about to change the game for you. Did you know that easyJet releases new batches of flight tickets each quarter in what it calls the ‘Big Seat Release’? Yesterday (July 22) it launched ticket sales for flights in summer 2026.
The newly released tickets are for travel between June 15 and September 13, 2026. They include a load of one-way flights across Europe for less than £30 – a steal, if you ask us. Even better, you can be all smug over the winter in the knowledge that you’ve already got your next holiday in the diary.
We recommend being quick as easyJet follows a dynamic demand pricing model, meaning that the higher the demand, the pricier the ticket. The flights aren’t necessarily the cheapest they’ll ever be right now, though. Martin Lewis, the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: ‘Do benchmark what a good price on that route is beforehand, just so you can check whether it's worth it.
‘If a particular flight is very substantially under-booked later on, you could get seats even cheaper then – that's just far more difficult to predict.’
So, if you want to stick with what you know and plan next summer well in advance, here’s a roundup of the best easyJet bargains in its Big Seat Release for summer 2026.
