Martin Lewis has revealed the exact day passengers can secure discount easyJet flights, with customers previously saving over £200. The Money Saving Expert founder explained that passengers could cut costs on tickets by looking for deals on “flight release days”.
The next release batch is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28, with tickets expected to go on sale for summer 2027.
Speaking on social media site X, Martin said: “Tuesday 28 July 2026 is an easyJet flight release day. Now easyJet has a rather interesting system for pricing its flights, its called dynamic pricing. It means the price depends on the demand, the more demand, the more that you pay.
“The most predictable time to get cheap flights is exactly the moment it releases the flights because there is minimal demand at that time because they weren’t available beforehand.”
Martin revealed that easyJet would be releasing nearly 14 million seats across 78,000 different flights on Tuesday. Martin stressed that the tip was “not definitive” and there is no guarantee that individuals will definitely secure a cheap flight. However, previous customers have made whopping savings, with one individual saving over £200 by getting in early.
Martin explained: “Claire Blakeman said ‘yep, got flights to Spain for next summer for four with old bags for £740’, she posted this a few hours after she had done it. She said ‘already gone up to £950 now’. She checked elsewhere and it was £1,300 on another airline.”
EasyJet said: “Summer 2027 flights are now on sale, making it easier than ever to plan your next adventure for the summer holidays and beyond. Whether you’re keen to explore somewhere new or revisit a favourite destination, you can book with confidence. Secure your seats for travel between 14 June 2027 and 26 September and start counting down to your well‑earned getaway.”
Martin later provided one more special tip, urging travellers to check as soon as possible, with prices likely to start rising minutes after release.
He stressed: “Every time I’ve done this, some say: ‘It won’t work now as you’re pushing up demand’. I’ve flagged these release dates for a decade, across social media, TV, podcasts and MSE, and it’s never stopped people bagging bargains. There are 14 million seats – I’m not that powerful! The key is to get there first thing, as prices can move within minutes.”
