For information as know some where awaiting their email and text alerts - Easyjet have now p 8) posted their flights from June through to September for summer 2014......
-
Yep, just booked
-
Booked ours for going out 6th Sept just need to book our return as they were only up
till 13th
-
Flight prices seem very cheap but the flight times from Manchester put us off, we wouldn't arrive in resort until turned midnight and flight home not until 2330 hours so willing to pay extra for better flight times, would have been great if flight times were better.
-
Yes Lilly the Man flights have always been a later time also check out Saturday times as not always all the same time? At least they are out now as I know from friends and family they have been awaiting the posting in order to book. Only upto 14th September at mo though
-
Just had a look and Gatwick to Corfu going 18 aug and coming back 1 Sept is not competitive at all - still over £300 each - I paid £245 last year with Monarch and didnt even book until April for an August flight.
Will wait and see!
-
More expensive than I had hoped for but saved £hundreds (almost £700!) over Thomson!
Can relax and pay Noula what we owe her now we are booked!
Phew!!!!!
-
Thanks for the info Lesley. Booked 14th to 28th July from Manchester. Flights went up by £40 while we hesitated but still good price of £368 for the two of us including luggage.
-
:D thanks for the heads up on this lesley. booked for june/july about 10£ more than last year.yahoo

Booked 0900 this morning Easyjet from Bristol out on 18th July back 8 Aug. With two cases £648. Just had a look at 1700 and the same flight was £376 more for the two of us! That is inflation! Even the luggage went up from £28 to £37/bag. How do they manage that? There are 15 in our party altogether and many of us go every year. Some are saying that it is just getting too much and Low Cost is no longer what it says. Have we been hoodwinked in getting in on the first day?
If these prices are a true picture of travel from a regional airport, it is not great news for the village. However, we shall just have to enjoy 2014.
-
Kernock.....we'll just be starting as you're finishing! We go August 8-29, also from Bristol.
Times are rubbish compared to Exeter, but the difference in price makes it a no brainer!

Re easyjet - been flying with them from BTL for around 12 years now and it's pretty obvious their business model is changing.
This v quick ramping up of flight prices on 'day one' is getting more and more prominent.
We are frequent visitors to the Algarve - if i dont get a flight in first few hours of release, prices really ramp up within next few hours.
I cant book at mo due to my wife needing clearance from her work - i've never known easyjet flights to go so high so quickly on 'day one' since we've been using them.
The days of cheap flights, from their regional bases, are gone imo.
I'm actually finding it quite depressing.
I think any recession in travel overseas is well and truly over.
-
I didn't get the email saying they were up for grabs until lunchtime. The law of s*d dictated that today was the first day I didn't check earlier in the day.
Therefore I am pretty damned sure that we didn't get the cheapest flights we could have...particularly on the return leg, however I am consoling myself with the thought that we have still saved a great deal compared to our other options, money which can now be spent in the village I guess or at least pay for the independent accommodation we have booked.
Definitely worth it, even with an overnight hotel on the way back.

It's scary!! The prices leap at an alarming rate even while you're looking at them,makes you wonder if it's a big con trick and prices will drop when the
"panic"buying slows down.That said we bit the bullet and booked flights for June.Will be interesting to see if prices do go down .

Well i've just had a look at BTL to Corfu flights in late June/earlyJuly. Nearly £300 return!
In June 2010 we paid £150 return each.
So they've doubled in price in 4 years. Wow!
One reason we wont be in San Stef next year - we were planning to return after a 4 year absence.
I suspect the prices will fall again from next week.

If easyJet prices drop after you've purchased them there is a "price promise" whereby they will refund the difference with a voucher against future flights
Article 26 Price Promise
26.1 If You have, or the Booker on Your behalf has, made a Booking directly through the Website and You, or the Booker, subsequently find that lower fares (when taken together with all applicable fees and charges) for the same easyJet Flight have become available, You will be refunded the difference as a credit voucher against future Flights on easyJet. The only exception to this “price promise” is if the lower fares have been offered as part of a promotional offer that is launched after You have purchased the Flight. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 26 will not apply to any Booking made on Your behalf by any licensed third party booking systems (e.g.: travel agents, screen scrapers) or through easyJet’s Call Centre.

Hi Waspman. The easyjet price promise is ok in theory but the discount on future flights has to be used within six months. Our £51 discount code expired three weeks ago and next years flights went on sale yesterday. Oh well!
-
The prices for flights during the summer holidays from manchester are ridiculous imo. Seriously considering holidaying in the UK next year for the first time in ages. :-\
-
It makes you wonder if the airlines have increased their prices to cover any claims made against them for flight delays of over 3 hours.
Just a thought!!!
-
I'm going to book around April time again - we got really good prices for August booking in April last year with Monarch from Gatwick (£245) and I am going to hold out again and monitor from January, if they go down to that sort of price earlier than April, then I will book.
Last year whilst in Corfu (5-19 August) I was looking for a flight out on 12th August for a week for my sisters boyfriend and I could get it for £162!!!
I am sitting tight and waiting. :-X

Funny that! Anyone would think they know that when they choose to release the flights... ;)

You don't need to be a genius to understand that it's a matter of supply and demand,and with Thomas Cook using Easyjet for many of their holidays,the end result is that there are far less seats available for us flight only passengers.Could be that the days of really cheap flights booked well in advance have gone forever (Ryanair maybe an exception,but their flights don,t really fit with the general Monday and Friday booking requirement) and we have to bite the bullet.Stiil it seems cheap to me that you can fly to Corfu from England for £300,whilst a taxi from Kidderminster to Luton is £140.
The good news however,is that Easyjet are to allow smoking on May 1st.

Yes, the Thomas Cook 'partnership' with Ejet is a factor, esp at the regionals. Seeing that from BTL on a number of Med/Canaries destinations. Plus, BTL airport is facing capacity issues on the more popular flight routes with people from S Wales having to use BTL because Cardiff airport is in crisis.
But like i said in an earlier post £300 is double what we paid in 2010 to fly Ejet from BTL to Corfu.
As for smoking from May 1st i doubt that v much, as i think it's banned out of the EU, so that's not true.
-
If Easyjet allow smoking on their flights to Corfu at any time before 2020 I will personally pay for all of your flights, including baggage!
-
When oh when are Easyjet going to release the return flights from Corfu for late September 2014?? We booked the outgoing flights months ago but,
although I check regularly the return flights are still unavailable.I wonder why!!

the delay is sometimes due to them a/w the air traffic control slots.
i got impatient and booked my Bristol to Faro flights ( plus the return) the other day - ideally i wanted to return on Mon 15 Sept but instead am coming back on ths Sunday 14th.
By booking the outgoing flight and waiting for the return dont you end up paying 2 lots of baggage costs?

Baggage costs £20 one way and £34 return so only £6 difference and you probably save more than that by booking early.

My mistake costs £17 one way in September but £20 one way in June!!
