 Poster: A snowHead

Just been looking into a DIY trip, but flights from Manchester to Turin are really expensive - just over 2k for family of 4 (Feb half term week, check in bags included). Prices are same for EasyJet and Jet2, but TUI are a whopping £3600 including bags.
I’m new to all this and not got previous experience to compare to, but this seems like crazy prices! Are they likely to stay like this or come down at all? If not, it’s clearly much cheaper to go with a package. |
This is why we have gone at half term 3 times. One doing Monday to Monday as had access to Accomodation my parents own in Bansko (won't again due to lift queues) , to Oslo for Norwat, before BA changed there algorithms to make EVERY route for Half term crazy money on first release, and then to Geneva for post pandemic half term flights as I had my flights cancelled and was able to reschedule for any dates for no extra money for following season.
We are going at Christmas next season and counting down the years until we are clear of school holidays!

If anyone is interested in booking EasyJet flights past 2nd March 2025 (the current booking horizon), I've just had an email from them saying that flights up to 15th June 2025 will be bookable from 21st May.
(That sounds a little odd because 21st is a Tuesday, and I thought their new flights were normally released on a Thursday, but not always I guess.)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks @shrew, I’ve got two lots of flights to sort for next year so will be up early to get these sorted. From memory they’re bookable on the website before the App too.

Thanks @shrew, i've been starting to monitor as my assumption was that they may be released on Thursday (16th) - it is a bit strange that they are releasing on a Tuesday, that's thrown me a little! It's always been a thursday for as far as I can remember plus I would have assumed they would already have enough data to know what is the most effective day to release flights.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I guess it's always possible there was a typo in the email, but I've just double checked and it definitely says "We're bringing our latest season to the runway, on the 21st May you'll be able to book flights up to 15th June 2025".

@shrew - not doubting you at all. I might still have a sneaky check on Thursday morning just in case - probably something as simple as a delay in testing so they've put it back a few days.

I was doubting myself, so that's why I checked!
