However, customers should note the easyJet sale landing page only offers one-way deals. This means return flights could be much more expensive, so it’s important to shop around for the best departure and return offers before jumping at a deal.

How to get cheap deals on December 2023 to March 2024 flights according to Martin Lewis
easyJet launches its flight tickets in batches throughout the year, working on a supply and demand basis. In theory, this means that the earlier you jump on a booking, the cheaper the price will be. Martin Lewis and the Money Saving Expert team suggest that launch day is the best time to book a flight if you want to bag a deal.
The next batch of flights, for travel between December 1, 2023, and March 23, 2024, are due to go on sale on Thursday, March 9, 2023.
According to Money Saving Expert’s team: “Easyjet hasn’t confirmed the exact time but it says tickets will usually be released first thing in the morning, around 6am. However, MoneySavers have reported finding seats on sale even earlier than this on previous seat-release days.”
However, easyJet has warned that prices rise and fall with demand, so customers are advised to check the final price of their chosen journey before checking out. easyJet’s press office said: “On sale dates, the system is always exceptionally busy. Our pricing is demand-led with fares starting low and rising as more seats are booked, so prices do increase when led by strong demand.”
Of course, there is no way to know for certain whether you are getting the best price possible due to the supply and demand model. If demand drops, ticket prices could follow. Similarly, the more in demand a flight becomes, the higher prices may climb.
The airline has not yet confirmed when it will release its batch of tickets for flights departing March 24, 2024, and beyond. The airline posts updates on its seat release schedule here.
Cheap easyJet package holidays
Last month, easyJet ran an impressive February Pay Day sale on some of its package holidays. Deals included up to £200 off package holidays worth £2,000, while savings of £100 could be made on holidays worth £800. Though the sale came to an end on February 28, 2023, there are still impressive deals to be had.

All holidays booked via easyJet holidays are also covered by the travel provider’s ‘Protection Promise’.
This includes a “best price guarantee”, a refund guarantee promising no fees if you change your mind up to 60 days before travel, the freedom to make fee-free changes up to 28 days before travel, and fee-free instalments of your holiday’s full cost up to 28 days before travel.
Customers are also able to keep their deposit if plans change up to 60 days before travelling.
What is included in an easyJet package holiday?
Every easyJet holiday includes a flight and hotel, as well as 23kg of hold luggage per person for your flights. This can be split across one suitcase per passenger or shared in one.
Beach holidays automatically include a transfer which is sometimes private and sometimes shared. While transfers aren’t included for city breaks, holidaymakers can add one on during their booking journey for an additional fee.
All easyJet holidays are also protected by the ATOL scheme and the company is a member of ABTA.
Unlike holidays of the past, easyJet Holidays do not have dedicated holiday reps in your resort or hotel. However, customers travelling on a beach holiday will be met by a rep at the airport who will meet them and get them safely en route to their accommodation.
If you do need to contact a member of staff during your holiday, easyJet holidays have a dedicated On Holiday Support Team who are within reach 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
