Exact date EasyJet customers can bag themselves cheap summer flights
Most Brits love heading on a holiday abroad when the summer months come. However, with the ongoing cost of living crisis, many people find they don't have as much spare cash to spend on breaks away as they used to.
If that's you, then listen up, as the exact date to get "super cheap" EasyJet flights for next summer has been announced, according to Martin Lewis ' Money Saving Expert. The MSE Facebook account shared the news in a post with its 412,000 followers recently, and the post quickly went viral as many travel lovers planned to bag their cheap flights.
Sharing the news, MSE wrote: "Heads up! Super cheap EasyJet flights for summer 2026 are landing on Tuesday July 22.
"If previous releases are anything to go by, being online bright and early is the key to bagging a bargain."
According to the MSE website, Easyjet releases its flights in batches every quarter of the year – and if you discover what day they're going to be launched and you book them them quickly, you can get a far cheaper price.
It adds: "EasyJet follows a dynamic demand pricing model – in other words, when there's lots of demand for seats, you pay more; when there's less demand, you pay less. Usually it can be tricky to predict, and prices are fluid.
"There's one point when demand is almost always low... the very second seats are released. This happens in several tranches throughout the year. In the past, these seats have shot up in price within two or three hours of being made available, so being online bright and early is the key to bagging a bargain."
just because the flights have just gone on sale, it doesn't necessarily mean you're getting the best deal. As MoneySavingExpert.com founder
Martin Lewis himself does warn that just because the flights have only just gone on sale, it doesn't necessarily mean you're always getting the best deal. He says: "This has been a very successful technique for many people, and indeed if you want certainty of a cheap price it's worth doing. Do benchmark what a good price on that route is beforehand, just so you can check if it's worth it.
"Though of course, if a particular flight is very substantially under-booked later on, you could get seats even cheaper then – that's just far more difficult to predict."
What time will the flights be released?
Easyjet hasn't announced when the flights will go on sale. It says that customers looking to book early and get great fares for next summer should keep an eye on the Easyjet website from early in the morning."
According to MSE, the tickets "tend to go on sale as early as 5am or 6am, but sometimes it hasn't released seats until 8am, and it could depend on the location."

The humble deck chair has been given a 21st century makeover
The contraption originally dates back to the late 1800s, and it's now been given a modern twist which could become a staple along British shorelines. Solar panels and a battery pack are included in the high-tech prototype to keep electronics topped up. While a drinks holder has also been installed as well as a built-in fan, and bespoke horn to spook greedy seagulls. PayPal have created the modern seaside seat which Brits can visit from the 9th August in Brighton, following research which revealed one in five Brits shop on their phones or tablets – at the beach. A poll of 2,000 adults found clothes and fashion (37 per cent) are among the top purchases, with food and drink (34 per cent) and gifts for others (24 per cent) also on the cards. With nearly a fifth (19 per cent) spending between £51-75 when shopping online at the beach, with some spending up to £200. Phones overheating (43 per cent) and a lack of WiFi (36 per cent) are among the things holding consumers back from a seamless scrolling experience on the beach. While a lack of shade (31 per cent) and getting sand in the phone charger hole (23 per cent) are other inhibitors. Consumer behaviour and retail expert Dr. Amna Khan, speaking in partnership with the brand, said: 'Smartphones have transformed nearly every aspect of our lives, from how we navigate our cars to how we manage our health and shop for essentials. 'This digital shift has made shopping anytime, anywhere second nature – even on the beach, positioning it as the next frontier for a tech refresh. 'The once simple beach experience is getting a long-overdue upgrade. 'With tech-enhanced deckchairs featuring innovations like built-in glare-blocking screens, beachgoers can now seamlessly blend relaxation with connectivity, reflecting the evolving expectations of today's digital-first lifestyles.' The research also lifted the lid on all the factors people consider when picking a perfect beach spot, with shade (48 per cent) ranking as the top factor ahead of privacy (40 per cent) and proximity to the bar (36 per cent). When it comes to beach nostalgia, buckets, spades and sandcastles are among the items 70 per cent associate with childhood trips to the seaside, with arcades and slot machines also featuring (52 per cent). Striped deckchairs were cited by 41 per cent, with mini fridges containing snacks (29 per cent), solar panels for charging (21 per cent) and pop-out book holders (25 per cent) among the other creative add-ons people would like to see incorporated in the classic beach staple. Dave Jones, head of consumer from PayPal, which has introduced a three per cent cashback incentive to help people put money back their pockets, added: 'We can see from our research that more and more people are bringing their phones to the beach, and their shopping habits too. 'That's why we've reimagined the classic deckchair with a modern twist, making it easier to stay connected and even earn cashback while soaking up the sun.'

How to avoid travel disruption across air, rail, road and ferries this weekend
At the end of the week in which many schools in England and Wales break up, more UK holidaymakers will be travelling than ever before. Friday will be the busiest day of the year so far for flights from UK airports: 3,255 departures are scheduled, carrying 556,000 passengers. Rail travellers face a range of disruptions, from crowded trains to engineering works. On the roads, the RAC warns: 'The 'end of summer term' getaway weekend will be classically busy.' Motorists heading for France via LeShuttle through the Channel Tunnel to Calais will face the biggest crowds on Friday, while the CEO of the Port of Dover has asked motorists not to arrive more than two hours ahead at the UK's busiest ferry port. The Independent has conducted in-depth research to identify the key pressure points for travellers. Air Most airports are reporting record figures. Friday 25 July is expected to be busiest day of the year at Birmingham; at Luton, it will be Sunday 27 July. Fridays in late July and August see the biggest crowds at five top airports. At London Gatwick, landings and take-offs will be just 65 seconds apart on key dates. A four-day strike by ground handlers at Portuguese airports – including Faro, Madeira, Lisbon and Porto – could cause problems for some holidaymakers between Friday and Monday, with further strikes threatened during weekends in August. But easyJet, Ryanair and Tui say their flights will be unaffected. The Independent has asked British Airways and TAP Portugal if their passengers could be hit by the strike. Air-traffic control (ATC) delays are impacting thousands of flights across Europe each day – to the extent that Ryanair, Europe 's biggest budget airline, has taken to sending emails to affected passengers headlined 'ATC delayed your holiday'. Eurocontrol, the pan-European coordination body, said that over the past week, 'network hotspots saw 31 per cent of network delays generated by France [due to] capacity and staffing issues compounded by adverse weather". Operations over Germany and Spain were also affected by 'weather and some capacity issues'. Airspace is constrained across Europe by the closure of Ukrainian skies to all passenger aircraft and Russian skies being off limits to most airlines. In addition, President Trump's visit to Scotland from 25 to 29 July is likely to cause airspace restrictions at Prestwick and Aberdeen. Rail After a week that has seen some extreme delays and cancellations, including at London Waterloo, train operators are hoping that Network Rail infrastructure will cope with the pressure over one of the busiest weekends of the year. Rail passengers face a combination of crowds, especially to the seaside, and engineering work that will close links including Crewe to Shrewsbury, Nuneaton to Leicester and halt all trains through Huddersfield. Eurostar is advising all but 'Premier' passengers to arrive at London St Pancras International for trains to France, Belgium and the Netherlands 75 minutes ahead of departure. The cross-Channel train operator says: 'To ensure you have enough time for all pre-departure steps, please come to the station at the recommended time and not just before the gates close.' Eurostar Premier passengers can allow just 45 minutes. Roads The RAC is warning motorists that 'Frantic Friday' on 25 July will see extremely busy motorways until around 7pm, as holidaymakers jostle with regular commuter and commercial traffic. The motoring organisation says that the worst affected roads on Friday will be the M5 between Bristol and Devon and the M25 around London – particularly the southeast quadrant approaching Dartford Crossing. The best time to travel will be after 7pm. The highest number of holiday journeys over the weekend are predicted to be on Saturday, with three million motorists on the move. Congestion is expected to be worst between 10am and 5pm. The M6 northbound through the West Midlands, from the M42 junction near Coventry to the M54 turn-off past Wolverhampton, is expected to be particularly busy, as is the A82 from Glasgow to Loch Lomond. An additional 2.7 million trips are expected on Sunday 27 July, The optimum time to reach a UK destination is before 11 am. From then onwards many motorways and trunk roads will be busy all day to 7pm, with the worst congestion predicted southbound from Wigan (junction 27) to the Stafford turn-off at junction 13. Ferry/Eurotunnel At the Port of Dover, drivers are being urged not to arrive too early for the key getaway ferries to France between 5am and 1pm. Doug Bannister, chief executive of the UK's busiest ferry port, told The Independent 's daily travel podcast: 'Certainly it's going to be very busy on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and into Sunday. Those are our peak travel days of the year.' More than 10,000 cars are expected to pass through the port on both Friday and Saturday. Dover's CEO said: 'Please don't turn up earlier than two hours before you're sailing. 'We know the sailings and we know the bookings on the sailings and if they all come through in an even rate then we can get on top of it.' LeShuttle, carrying cars through the Channel Tunnel, will see its busiest day on Friday 25 July. A spokesperson for Getlink, which owns the tunnel and runs LeShuttle, said: 'We wish to reassure our customers that we've closely analysed travel patterns, identified high-demand days, and taken a comprehensive approach to capacity management to help everyone travel with confidence this summer. 'We advise checking in at least one hour before departure, and no more than two hours before, to allow time for border checks and boarding.'

Holidaymakers heading to Turkey warned 'do not approach'
Travellers are advised to research their location before taking a trip abroad. Holidaymakers travelling to Turkey for their summer holidays this year are being advised to research their trip before jetting off. Turkey continues to be a popular holiday spot for Brits, with over 4.4 million UK tourists holidaying there in 2024, thanks to its cheap food and drink and bustling atmosphere. It's all too easy to dive into your holiday without considering potential issues, however, to prevent any disasters, the Foreign Office is urging travellers to check the Turkish entry requirements, safety and security, regional risks, and health situation. One problem Turkish tourists may encounter when in the country is stray dogs. High rates of pet abandonment, particularly during holiday seasons, and a lack of awareness about responsible pet ownership contribute to the problem. There are several million stray animals on the streets of Turkey. Once on the streets, these dogs face a daily struggle to find food, water and shelter. The Foreign Office states: "Most towns and cities have stray dogs, according to the Liverpool Echo. "Packs congregate in parks and wastelands and can be aggressive. Take care and do not approach stray dogs. If you're bitten, get medical advice immediately. Rabies and other animal borne diseases are present in Turkey." On the government's "rabies risks in terrestrial animals by country" section, Turkey is classed as "high risk". This means Rabies occurs in wild and companion animals (or there are no data to prove otherwise). Rabies is passed on through injuries such as bites and scratches from an infected animal. The virus is nearly always fatal, but post-exposure treatment is very effective at preventing disease if given promptly after exposure to the virus. The UKHSA recently reminded travellers to be careful around animals when travelling to rabies affected countries due to the risk of catching the disease. Rabies does not circulate in wild or domestic animals in the UK, although some species of bats can carry a rabies-like virus. No human cases of rabies acquired in the UK from animals other than bats have been reported since 1902. Between 2000 and 2024 there were six cases of human rabies associated with animal exposures abroad reported in the UK. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

UKHSA says rabies is common in other parts of the world, especially in Asia and Africa. All travellers to rabies affected countries should "avoid contact" with dogs, cats and other animals wherever possible, and seek advice about the need for rabies vaccine prior to travel. You should take "immediate action" to wash the wound or site of exposure with plenty of soap and water if you've been bitten or scratched by an animal while you're abroad in a country with rabies. You should also wash the site of exposure if an animal has licked your eyes, nose or mouth, or licked a wound you have, while you're abroad in a country with rabies or you've been bitten or scratched by a bat in the UK. It states on the NHS website: "The rabies vaccine is recommended" if you're travelling to a part of the world where rabies is more common.
