That's strange!

Ejet flights for September 2012 from Bristol to all destinations were released last Thursday afternoon.

What's the problem, Easyjet website shows flights to Corfu from Manchester and back again from June to September 2012, i.e. out on 1st June 2012 = £180.99, back on 1st Sept 2012 = £178.26 (but no return flights yet from 2nd Sept onwards)

I would book the out flight now, and the room, and check the EJ site every few days, even daily, until you can book the return.
Don did this earlier in the year, with out problems and the flights are generally cheaper when they first release the dates each time.
Plenty of airlines to return on anyway, so no need to worry!

Agree Tony thats what my sister did one airline out and a different back and it worked out a good price too.

We quite often fly a different airline each way. Always worked out cheaper too!
It enabled us to get all 6 days I was off work last Xmas or we'd have missed our annual meal with Peter and Lesley. We've also managed 20, 18, 17 and 9 day holidays through doing this.
Next year we've booked 15 days as flights are better timed..

at this moment the cheapest flights back are 200 plus each, cant book the accom because we dont know how how many nights we are staying, back in june it wasnt that much of a gap before they released july& august, at these prices we would be cheaper to book a package.

Actually, that is a great idea to check out different airlines for Corfu, as well, including a one-way Thomson or TC flight, occasionally it works out.

The Easyjet Flights from Manchester to Corfu in October 2012 are now available.

I had already booked the September flight out but just booked my return in October for £90 each including 20kg and Easy Boarding, Thomson wanted £160 each (dreadfull flight time) and Thomas Cook £175 each.

Thats a saving of at least £140 for both of us and with Easyjet I will be first on the plane and probably get an extra legroom seat :)

I dont find Easyjet a rip off, I think they are excellent but you have to book early!!

Andy agree book early with EJ for the good prices, also the Bristol and Manchester flights are on for seats until end of October

Yes We also got great Easyjet prices, £140 return, inc. speedy boarding, which means it was worth booking privately,
for our Apartments (which were great value with transfer and aircon included), and eating out,
which makes the holiday for us, and helps the village.
It's paid for quite a few breakfasts & evening meals out, when you work out the saving.
A better holiday all round.

As of yesterday easyjet prices from Bristol to Corfu on a Monday in July were now £266 each compared to Thomas Cooks £228. When the easyjet prices first went up late last year they were £130 approx each. We've booked with Thomas Cook because of the convenience of the flight time - more expensive for individual tickets but overall costing me less because our eldest son ain't coming with us this year.
