EasyJet's Millions of Cheap Flights Are Here — Here's How to Bag the Best Seats

Budget travellers, set your alarms. EasyJet has just released one of its biggest batches of cheap flights from London — reportedly close to 14 million seats across tens of thousands of flights, covering travel dates that stretch right through next summer, from mid-June to late September<cite index="21-1">.</cite> These seat releases happen a handful of times a year, when the airline opens up bookings for a future season all in one go, and this one's a big one.

The catch — and the opportunity — is that easyJet prices work on a dynamic demand model. In plain terms: the cheapest seats go first, and prices climb steadily as demand builds. Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has called these seat-release days some of the most predictable moments to find genuinely cheap flights, and past releases have shown fares rising within hours of going live. If you've got a summer trip in mind, this is the moment to book, and being online early — historically around 6am — gives you the best shot at the lowest fares.

Which flights can you get from London?

London is genuinely spoiled for choice when it comes to budget flying, and easyJet operates out of several of the capital's airports:

• London Gatwick — one of easyJet's largest bases, with over 90 destinations on offer, from short city hops to long-haul beach breaks

• London Luton — a major easyJet base covering everywhere from the Canary Islands and Cyprus to Greece and the Balearics

• London Stansted — another key departure point for short breaks across Europe

• London Southend — a smaller but useful option for certain European routes

Between these bases, easyJet flies to well over 100 destinations, covering pretty much every major European city, plus a growing number of beach and long-haul-adjacent routes. Whichever part of London you're travelling from, there's a good chance one of these airports is within easy reach.

Best destinations to book on this seat release

With so many routes on offer, it's worth going in with a shortlist rather than scrolling endlessly. Some of the strongest value picks tend to be:

• Amsterdam — a short hop, brilliant for a long weekend, and consistently one of the more affordable city breaks from London

• Milan — easy access to both the city and the Italian Lakes, and a reliable easyJet route from several London airports

• The Canary Islands — a genuine winter-sun escape without the long-haul price tag, particularly good value outside the main summer holidays

• The Balearics — Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza all see heavy easyJet traffic, and prices are at their lowest the moment routes are released

• Cyprus and Greece — reliable value for beach holidays, with plenty of departure options from Luton in particular

• Antalya — one of the standout deals often flagged on Gatwick's route network, offering serious value for a beach-focused trip

The general rule of thumb: the further ahead and the earlier in the release window you book, the more of a saving you're likely to lock in — especially on the more in-demand routes to Spain, Italy, and the Greek islands.

Tips for booking on release day

• Know your dates and destination before you log on — decision-making eats into the time when prices are at their lowest

• Be ready early — previous releases have gone live from around 6am

• Book flexible dates where you can — even shifting by a day or two either side can make a noticeable difference in price

• Don't wait to "think it over" — fares on popular routes have climbed within hours of release in the past
