EasyJet is adding millions of seats to its website next week

This is because the airline runs on a dynamic demand pricing model, which means that when there is a lot of demand for seats, the prices for flights will be higher.
When there is less demand, you pay less.
Demand will always be low the very second flights are released and so you can grab a bargain.
However, you do have to be quick, as in the past prices have shot up within a couple of hours of them being released.
MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis said: "Do benchmark what a good price on that route is beforehand, just so you can check whether 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."
With the next release due to take place on Tuesday July 22, travellers can grab cheap tickets for travel between June 15 and September 13, 2026.
According to MoneySavingExpert.com, there will be 'millions' of seats on sale.
Last year, 18million seats were available - of which 10million were either to or from the UK.
Whilst there isn't an exact time that flights will go on sale, an easyJet spokesperson said: "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."
The Secret Code on Your Boarding Pass: Why You Should Never Throw It Away
Previously, flights have been added to the website as early as 5am or 6am.
But sometimes it has also been 8am.
The best thing to do will be to get up bright and early and check regularly.
For those who cannot wait until Tuesday, the airlines' CEO Kenton Jarvis recently told The Independent's Simon Calder: "There are definitely bargains to be had for those wanting to go to Turkey [this summer].
"That's probably looking better value this year than Greece."
EasyJet flies to many destinations including popular holiday spots such as Tenerife, Athens and Cyprus.

Family fume as they're forced to stay in 'horrendous' hotel with 'cockroaches'
William White said he and his family were due to fly back from Majorca on Monday, but their easyJet flight was cancelled after a technical fault which left them needing further accommodation A family has described how they were greeted by "the most horrendous room and conditions", with yellow water, cockroaches and other insects during an easyJet package holiday. William White, from Carnmoney in Co Antrim, had travelled with his wife and two children to Alcudia in Mallorca where they spent "10 quality nights" before their flight home was cancelled. Several hours after their flight was cancelled unexpectedly, having been delayed several times, the family say they were advised by easyJet to travel from the airpoirt back to Alcudia for a one-night stay at accommodation organised by the travel company. But the family say they were greeted with "a smell worse than an old people's home", insects, holes in the wall and "yellow water from the taps". It comes after women claim 'Our Jet2 holiday was ruined because we flew to the wrong Spanish island by mistake'. William, 40, said: "We departed Belfast on July 25 and spent 10 quality nights in Viva Sunrise. We were due to fly back on the fourth of August [Monday]. We arrived in the airport and checked in our luggage at 3.30pm." He revealed there was "no update on the boards in the airport" but online updates indicated delays due to a technical issue. He mentioned "rumblings" began among the Belfast travellers after their flight vanished from the flight boards, and around 8pm an email arrived, followed by another confirming the flight had been cancelled. "All the passengers were ringing easyJet for help," William said. "But there were no reps based in the departure area of the airport and the ground crew didn't know anything." Eventually, William and his family were booked on to a flight from Palma to London Luton on Wednesday 6, with a four-hour stop before the flight to Belfast. In the meantime, he and his family went back through security and managed to retrieve their luggage. At 10.30pm, they received another email with details of accommodation for the night, reports Belfast Live. "We went on to TripAdvisor to check and seen that it had diabolical reviews but it had been long and stressful day but not much we could do at that point with no direction from anyone," William said. "We spoke to the easyJet rep and she said we should pay for taxi, which was €140 so we refused. At the last minute they put us on a bus to Alcudia. We arrived at around 1:30am. It was a huge complex and they said we had a one night stay booked. "We explained the situation but they insisted it was one night only and that we had to come back in the morning." He revealed their room was a "20 minute walk from reception - in the dark on a busy road, with our suitcases and two children. Cars were speeding past and there were no lights, so I had to use my phone light." He continued: "When we arrived, we were greeted with the most horrendous room and conditions – mites, yellow water from the taps, cockroaches, holes punched in the wall, wardrobe doors hanging off, a smell worse than an old people's home and decor and furniture from the 1960s. Oh, and no working air-con." The family contacted easyJet once more to describe the appalling state of their accommodation, but were informed they couldn't relocate the family that evening. After hearing this news, Mr White said he made the "trek" back to reception, who eventually agreed to relocate them. The replacement room was "more up to date", William explained, but was regrettably "located beside the main entrance to the entire complex with drunk people arriving home and children out playing at 4am". That accommodation also had no air conditioning, he said, adding: "It was so warm you could cook Sunday dinner in it." The family managed to get roughly four hours of sleep, before being told they would be relocated once again. After another journey, which William said lasted "around 25 minutes" carrying their four suitcases and two children, they reached the fresh hotel. Speaking to Belfast Live William said: "At least it's clean." When asked what response he would like from easyJet after their nightmare experience, he said: "I don't know, maybe fair compensation - whatever that might be."

How a 41-minute flight closed one of the UK's busiest airports
Thousands of passengers are facing travel delays and disruption after all flights were suspended from Birmingham Airport due to an 'aircraft incident'. The incident is believed to have involved a light aircraft whose landing gear would not deploy as it tried to travel to Belfast around 1pm on Wednesday. At least 18 flights have since been diverted. Birmingham Airport's website also appears to have crashed after passengers were told to check their flight status. The airport, which is the UK's seventh busiest, registered a 12 per cent increase in passenger numbers in 2024 to reach 12.85 million. It is expected that this will be the busiest ever summer for the West Midlands hub, as easyJet joins the growing number of airlines to set up base at Birmingham. As the situation unfolds, here is what we currently know about the disruption at Birmingham Airport. What happened? It is believed that the aircraft involved was a Beechcraft B200 Super King Air twin turboprop light aircraft, which belonged to Woodgate Aviation, self-described as a leading provider of corporate, business, private and general aviation services in Northern Ireland since 1969. The flight, which is believed to have been heading to its home base of George Best Belfast City, took off at 1.16pm according to data on FlightRadar24. It climbed to 5,750 feet and almost immediately entered a holding pattern. At 1.35pm the aircraft overflew the runway at just 300 feet, but it remains unclear if the pilot was attempting to land or enabling air traffic controllers to inspect the undercarriage. FlightRadar data shows the aircraft made contact with the ground at 1.57pm. It is currently not known what caused the incident. Is anyone injured? One person has suffered minor injuries after the small aircraft made an emergency landing at Birmingham Airport, according to West Midlands Police. Birmingham Airport Police said on social media: 'We are at Birmingham Airport this afternoon after a small aircraft was involved in an emergency landing at around 1.40pm. 'Officers are among the emergency crews at the scene and one person has been reported to have minor injuries. 'The Civil Aviation Authority has been informed and the airport has suspended operations as an investigation is carried out.' West Midlands Ambulance Service said three people were treated and discharged at the scene. A spokesperson said: 'We were called at 1.45pm to an incident involving a light aircraft at Birmingham Airport. Hazardous Area Response Team paramedics and three paramedic officers were sent to the scene. Upon arrival we found three patients from the aircraft, all of whom were assessed and discharged at the scene.' What flights have been delayed? The last flight to touch down before the closure was the Ryanair flight from Perpignan, which landed at 1.52pm. Two minutes later, an easyJet flight to Tenerife took off. Incoming flights were diverted to alternative airports immediately after the runway was shut down. Here are all the diversions we are aware of so far: East Midlands: Air France from Paris, Ryanair from Murcia, Jet2 from Kalamata, Preveza and Mahon, Tui from Rhodes. Manchester: Jet2 from Lanzarote, Malaga and Faro, Ryanair from Bucharest, Turkish Airlines from Istanbul, Tui from Kos. London Stansted: Ryanair from Malaga and Palma, Jet2 from Jet2 from Kefalonia, easyJet from Corfu and Heraklion. In addition, an Aer Lingus Regional aircraft from Belfast City was about halfway across the Irish Sea when it turned back to its starting point. The Brussels Airlines flight from the Belgian capital has been cancelled, along with the return leg from Birmingham. Why is the airport website down? Not long after Birmingham Airport advised passengers to check their flight status, the website for Birmingham Airport has gone down, replaced by an error code. It remains unclear just what has happened to the online platform. What has Birmingham Airport said so far? The airport operator announced on social media around 2.40pm that the runway was temporarily closed following an 'aircraft incident'. 'Following an aircraft incident, the runway is temporarily closed,' the airport said in a statement on X posted shortly after 2.40pm on Wednesday. 'We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause. 'We will keep passengers already at the airport informed and those due to travel later today are advised to check the status of their flight before coming to the airport. 'We will continue to issue updates when we can.'

The Greek hotel that looks more like the Maldives with overwater rooms named one of Europe's best resorts
Plus, the Greek island that's the 'birthplace of marathons' TOP SPOT The Greek hotel that looks more like the Maldives with overwater rooms named one of Europe's best resorts Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ADULTS-ONLY all-inclusive resort nestled in Greece with Maldives-style overwater villas and swim-up hotel rooms has been named the best in Europe. Awarded by Conde Nast as the top spot, Stella Island Resort and Spa offers the ultimate luxury, with plenty of different villas to choose from, on the island of Crete. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Stella Island Resort and Spa was named the top adults-only all-inclusive in Europe Credit: Stella Island Resort Having opened in 2017, the resort has quickly become known for its 'floating breakfasts' and spa and wellness centre, with a sauna and hammam. Sitting at its centre is also one of Europe's largest lagoon pools. Whilst the overwater huts don't sit above the ocean, and instead sit above a pool - with narrow bridges crisscrossing the water. Each features a day bed that looks out across the pool (and some, the sea too) and a hammock that hovers above the calm crystal waters. In total, there are eight pools at the resort in total and guests can also head to the beach and a waterpark which neighbour the resort. In the middle of some of the pools are sunken seating areas, where guests can retreat to with a book or glass of wine. Each room and suite features blonde wood and bamboo, with a sleek and stylish minimalist interior. At night, the villas are then illuminated with glowing yellow lights, as are the pools. The entire resort is located close to Analipsi, but guests also don't need to really venture out of the resort itself as it has five restaurants serving a range of cuisines. For example, there is a buffet serving authentic Greek food and a Mexican restaurant as well. This holiday park has Maldives-like overwater bungalows As for wellness, there is both and indoor and outdoor gym, tennis and paddle courts, stand up paddle-boarding and complimentary bike hire. The resort even has its own app which guests can use to book restaurants and activities and request things such as room service or a towel change. One recent visitor said: "This is our third time staying here — and it won't be our last. "The moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the stress of life just melt away. "It's like the whole place is designed to make you breathe easier, relax deeper, and feel completely taken care of." 4 There are a range of different rooms and suites to choose from Credit: instagram 4 Across the resort, there are eight pools and five restaurants Credit: Stella Island Resort Another added: "Special memories made in a very special place." It takes about 20 minutes to reach the resort from Heraklion airport - and if you book via the hotel's website, you'll even get a free transfer from the airport. Rooms cost from £180 per night and anyone over the age of 15-years-old is allowed to stay. If visitors do want to venture out of the resort, there is plenty to do across Crete - including several serene beaches, quad safaris across the rugged landscape and historic village hopping. The Greek island that's the 'birthplace of marathons' The Sun's Brittany Vonow headed to Rhodes and ran the most beautiful 13 miles in the world - here's her take. Running the TUI Rhodes half-marathon, I'm 16 kilometers in and almost sorry I have only five more to go. It's easily one of the most beautiful races I've done, winding along the sparkling sea and past ancient fortifications. With the supportive locals and 700 volunteers, it's a joyful experience in the birthplace of the marathon. I push through the final stretch, crossing the finish line in 1 hour and 55 minutes. Afterwards, I relax at the adults-only Imperial Atlantica resort, recovering my muscles in the sauna. The shoulder season offers a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere. Beyond the hotel, we explore the Old Town, enjoying delicious Greek food like dolmades, tzatziki, and baklava. My medal serves as a lasting souvenir of a truly unforgettable trip. A Greek expert has also revealed four better value islands where locals go on holiday with Santorini-like houses and secluded beaches. Plus, the smaller Greek island with 70 beaches that experts warn you should see before it gets too popular.
