The flights are usually released first thing in the morning and prices will remain low for as long as demand does.
Seat fares tend to climb back up, however, a few hours after bookings have gone live.
So you need to be quick if you want to snap up the cheaper fares.
You haven't missed out yet, though - there are still plenty of the cracking offers available.
We've picked out the best bargains that to book right now.
Paris, France
There are many cheap flights across UK airports heading to Paris with easyJet.
For example, you could snatch up a flight from London Southend Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle for £21.99 on July 2, 2026.
Alternatively, you could head from Birmingham Airport for £25.99 on June 30, 2026.
There is also a flight from Southampton Airport to Paris Orly for £29.99 on July 3, 2026.
Paris has always been a top European destination, but even more people are heading to the French capital following the rise in popularity of Netflix's series Emily in Paris.
The city is bustling with sights to see and flavours to taste – particularly giant croissants that Emily is often seen eating in the TV series.
In addition to your typical tourist spots such as The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, the city is home to quaint bakeries and newly opened swimming spots, thanks to the River Seine welcoming swimmers once again.

For £26.99, you could head to the French city from Birmingham on August 30, 2026.
Alternatively, you could head from Bristol on June 22, 2026, for £32.99.
Perhaps a great option for those who have visited Paris but have not yet had enough of France, Bordeaux is great for experiencing the country's wine culture.
Head to La Cité du Vin to learn all about French wine with exhibitions, shows, movies and seminars.
You can then always grab a bottle and sit in the beautiful Jardin Public in the city.

You could fly from Birmingham, for example, on June 17, 2026, for £25.99.
Or from London Southend on the same day, for £22.99.
Assistant travel editor Sophie Swietochowski recently visited the city.
She said: "Stroll just five minutes in any direction, away from the compact city centre and down one of the cobblestone alleyways, and that's where you'll find the real city.
"The whole city is littered with tiny artisan bakeries and shops where you'll find locals sat at a rickety old table, sipping coffee and tucking into homemade goodies.
"If you're brave enough, drive your own boat [through the canals] - you can pick one up for €16.50pp (£13.90pp) for three hours on a six-seater vessel from boats4rent.i-reserve.nl."

Your car isn't ready for Europe's deadly heatwaves, warns expert

An motoring expert has warned that Brits need to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of both their vehicle and passengers in heatwave conditions As millions of holidaymakers head to Europe for the summer, many fail to consider the risks extreme heat poses on both vehicles and passengers. While heatwaves across the UK and EU are causing vehicles to overheat and a surge of heat-related incidents that are leaving drivers scrambling. ‌ Mattijs Wijnmalen, CEO of Tollwayr and European road travel expert, warns that traditional road trip preparation is insufficient during heatwave conditions. According to Mattijs: "We're seeing temperatures that would have been considered exceptional just a decade ago becoming the new summer norm across Europe." ‌ ‌ "Drivers who've completed the same routes in previous years are finding themselves in genuinely dangerous situations because the rules have fundamentally changed," he explains. ‌ When temperatures exceed 35C, even well-maintained cars face increased risk of overheating, as well tire blowouts and electrical system failures. Air conditioning systems can also fail at these times when they are most needed. Extreme heat also affects road surfaces, making asphalt soft and unstable, which increases stopping distances and reduces tyre grip. Some motorways have even experienced dangerous surface cracking and rutting. Car passengers and drivers are also not immune to the dangers of extreme heat. Heat exhaustion and dehydration impair driver judgment and reaction times, with studies showing cognitive performance declining at temperatures above 27C inside vehicles, well before drivers recognise the symptoms. ‌ To ensure you and your vehicle are heatwave ready, ensure to test your cooling system and tire pressure before long journeys. You should reduce your tire pressure by 2-3 PSI below manufacturer recommendations to prevent dangerous blowouts caused by dramatically increased tire temperatures on hot road surfaces. That said, tire pressures should remain within safe operating limits. In addition to a standard emergency kit, you should also pack electrolyte replacement drinks, cooling towels, a battery-powered fan, emergency shade materials, and additional water reserves (minimum 4 litres per person). ‌ To avoid getting stuck in traffic under the sun, avoid driving during peak heat hours (11am to 4pm) and try to stick to coastal and higher-altitude routes which provide 5-10°C temperature relief compared to inland valley routes. "Heatwaves are no longer exceptional weather events—they're becoming the standard European summer experience. Drivers who approach summer road trips with the same preparation they used five years ago are genuinely putting themselves and their families at risk," says Mattijs. 'Successful heatwave road trips require the same level of preparation as winter mountain driving—different hazards, but equally serious consequences for the unprepared. "The difference is that heat-related vehicle failures often occur in remote areas with limited mobile coverage, making self-sufficiency absolutely critical," he concludes.

Horror moment American Airlines plane bursts into flames as passengers flee

Passengers abandoned the American Airlines plane via an inflatable emergency slide amid chaotic scenes at Denver International Airport, with some needing hospital treatment This is the horrifying moment an American Airlines plane burst into flames as passengers fled the aircraft. ‌ At least one person is understood to have been injured when a plane was forced to abort its take-off from Denver Airport, in Colorado, due to landing gear failure. Passengers fled the smoking aircraft with an inflatable emergency slide being deployed in the chaotic scenes on Saturday. ‌ Video showed passengers frantically sliding down as thick black smoke billowed from the back left side of the plane. The Denver Fire Department said in a social media post at 5:10pm local time that it had extinguished the fire. ‌ American Airlines Flight 3023 reported a landing gear incident as it took off for Miami at about 2:45pm, the Federal Aviation Administration said. According to 9News, an air traffic controller could be heard telling the pilot in cockpit audio: "Flight 3023, you got a lot of smoke. The airline added all 173 passengers and six crew members were safely evacuated from the plane. Six people were checked for minor injuries with one being transported to a local hospital after getting off the plane. ‌ "All customers and crew deplaned safely, and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team," an American Airlines spokesperson said. "We thank our team members for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for their experience." Denver International Airport said: "This afternoon, DEN First Responders and the Denver Fire Department responded to a reported issue with an American Airlines flight (AA3023, DEN-MIA) on a runway. Those on board are now off the aircraft." ‌ In another post, it added: "Update: Five people were evaluated on scene and not transported. One person was evaluated at a gate and was transported." It comes after an easyJet flight leaving Gatwick Airport was forced to divert back to the airport after take off yesterday. Shortly before 4.30pm an easyJet flight bound for Bastia, on the French island of Corsica was forced to return to Gatwick, a spokesperson for the airport confirmed. An easyJet spokesperson said: "easyJet can confirm that flight EZY8461 from Gatwick to Bastia today (26 July) returned to Gatwick and requested a priority landing on arrival into London Gatwick due to a technical issue. The aircraft landed normally and was met by emergency services purely as a precautionary measure in line with procedures, and all passengers disembarked normally. "A replacement aircraft and crew has been arranged for passengers to continue their journey to Bastia today. The safety of our customers and crew is easyJet's highest priority and easyJet operates its fleet of aircraft in strict compliance with all manufacturers' guidelines.'

Latest Greece travel advice amid 'dangerous and unpredictable' wildfires

Ongoing wildfires in Greece have worsened this weekend, with 44°C temperatures and high winds leading to fresh safety warnings. Residents in the town of Kryoneri, 12 miles north of Athens, have now been ordered to evacuate their homes to escape the blaze, which started in the Afidnes region yesterday before spreading to the villages of Drosopigi and Agios Stefanos. This comes as Greek authorities battle separate fires on Euboea and Crete,its two largest islands, as well as on the island of Kythera and in the south-west of the mainland. Millions of Brits are set to visit the European country this summer, with Athens and Crete among the most popular destinations for UK holidaymakers. However, if you've got a trip booked over the coming weeks, this extreme weather could impact your plans — and potentially put your safety at risk. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. As of July 27, the UK Foreign Office has not issued any 'do not travel' noticed for Greece, but highlights safety advice due to a 'high risk of wildfires during the summer season from April to October.' The FCDO website warns that Greece is prone to extreme natural phenomena, including earthquakes, wildfires, extreme heat and flash floods. It recommends travellers register for the Greek government's national emergency alerts (you can do this here), adding: 'Wildfires are highly dangerous and unpredictable. The situation can change quickly.' To avoid starting wildfires – which is a criminal offence in Greece – you should always pick up litter (especially glass), avoid barbecues and make sure that cigarettes are properly extinguished. Tourists are also urged to 'be cautious if you are in or near an area affected by wildfires,' and to call the emergency services on 112 if you're in danger. Greece – particularly its islands – is one of Europe's hardest-hit countries when it comes to wildfires. In July 2018, at the height of tourist season, the worst wildfire to hit Greece in over a decade tore through a small resort town near Athens, killing 104 people and injuring more than 200. Fires ripped through Mati, burning some 135,000 hectares of forest and destroying dozens of homes and businesses. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video According to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), 2020 saw the country's highest number of recorded fires since at 88, but the devastation to land was worst in 2023, when 174,773 hectares were burned. So far this year, a total of 24 wildfires have ripped through Greece, with Crete and the eastern Aegean island of Chios among the locations affected in recent months. If you find yourself at the site of a wildfire while on holiday, follow instructions from local authorities, and make sure to keep any essentials – passport, keys, medication, phone – with you at all times. If you've booked with a tour operator or airline, they should be your first port of call, and can help you to find alternative accommodation or flights, if necessary. For those preparing to travel, it may be possible to cancel your trip for a refund, but only under specific circumstances. This includes if there is a wildfire within a certain distance of your accommodation, or if there's an official travel advisory from the Foreign Office warning against travel – which, as it stands, there is not. As Grant Winter, compliance officer at specialist travel insurance provider Goodtogo, tells Metro: 'No airline is obligated to refund you for a flight you choose not to take.' So, although you should always prioritise your safety, keep in mind that you're likely to lose some – or even all – of your money if you cancel. Very. And with fast winds and dry plants both in abundance throughout Greece, these fires can spread faster than you can run from them. More Trending Burns are the biggest killer, but dehydration and heatstroke also pose a risk to anyone in affected areas, along with toxic particles of burned matter that are carried on the wind and can enter the bloodstream, which has been linked to myriad health conditions including asthma, cancer and respiratory disease. Survivors face the trauma of losing homes and businesses too, and studies have shown that people who live through wildfires show increased rates of depression.
