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."

UK and India to sign trade deal during Modi state visit
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to the UK will see the signing of a landmark free trade deal. It is expected to see £6 billion invested into the UK economy and create 2,200 jobs, making it the largest deal of its kind for economic impact on Britain. Tariffs on a range of British goods will be reduced from an average of 15% to 3%, in hopes of boosting imports into the south Asian nation. Whisky tariffs will be slashed in half, and are expected to fall further over successive years. Soft drinks, cars and cosmetics will also see cheaper duties. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet with Modi on Thursday to sign off on the deal. Before his meeting with Modi to confirm the deal, Starmer said: "Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain. "It will create thousands of British jobs across the UK, unlock new opportunities for businesses and drive growth in every corner of the country, delivering on our Plan for Change. "We're putting more money in the pockets of hardworking Brits and helping families with the cost of living, and we're determined to go further and faster to grow the economy and raise living standards across the UK." Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the investment will "reach all regions and nations of the UK so working people in every community can feel the benefits". The Prime Minister and his Indian counterpart also agreed ahead of their meeting to ramp up joint efforts to tackle corruption, fraud, organised crime and illegal migration, by sharing criminal records and other intelligence. The deal promises some benefits to the UK's financial services, but not as much as the Government would have liked. It is understood that talks continue regarding a bilateral investment treaty aimed at protecting investments in both countries. The two nations also continue to discuss UK plans for a tax on high-carbon industries, which India believes could hit its imports unfairly. The deal has been in the works for years. Negotiations first began in 2022 under Boris Johnson, and were concluded in May this year. Labour sought to portray closing the deal, as well as trade agreements with the US and the EU, as evidence of the Government's pragmatism and global outlook. But shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith said it had only been made possible "because of Brexit delivered by the Conservatives". He added: "Any trade deal that can successfully cut regulation which stops Britain's makers from creating new jobs and wealth will be a step in the right direction. "But the irony should not be lost on anyone that any gains from this trade deal will be blown out of the water by Angela Rayner's union charter, stifling business with red tape, the jobs tax and, come autumn, Rachel Reeves' inevitable tax hikes that will punish Britain's makers just to reward those who do not contribute." The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has said that the signing "sends a powerful signal that the UK is open for business and remains resolute in its commitment to free and fair trade". Chief executive Rain Newton-Smith added: "A trade agreement with India - one of the world's fastest-growing economies - is a springboard for long-term partnership and prosperity. UK firms can take advantage of this new platform to scale, diversify and compete on the global stage." Starmer is facing calls to raise the case of detained blogger Jagtar Singh Johal with Modi. The Scottish Sikh has been detained in India since 2017, and is accused of being a member of the Khalistan Liberation Force, which is banned as a terror group in India. His family say he is being arbitrarily detained, with his brother Gurpreet Singh Johal insisting the matter should be "high on the agenda when the prime ministers meet".

Keir Starmer and Narendra Modi set to sign off on Britain-India trade deal
The Prime Minister and his Indian counterpart also agreed ahead of their meeting on Thursday to ramp up joint efforts to tackle illegal migration and organised crime. The UK-India trade deal is understood to be the largest of its kind for its economic impact on Britain. We're putting more money in the pockets of hardworking Brits and helping families with the cost of living, and we're determined to go further and faster to grow the economy and raise living standards Sir Keir Starmer It will see tariffs on an array of British goods reduced from an average of 15% to 3%, with the aim of boosting the £11 billion of imports into the south Asian nation. Whisky tariffs will be slashed in half, according to the Government, and will fall further over successive years, while other industries including soft drinks, cars and cosmetics are also expected to see cheaper duties. Before his meeting with Mr Modi to confirm the deal, Sir Keir said: 'Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the investment will 'reach all regions and nations of the UK so working people in every community can feel the benefits'. Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds (James Manning/PA) He added: 'The almost £6 billion in new investment and export wins announced today will deliver thousands of jobs and shows the strength of our partnership with India as we ensure the UK is the best place in the world to invest and do business.' The UK and India are also bolstering co-operation on tackling corruption, fraud, organised crime and illegal migration, by sharing criminal records and other intelligence. The deal has not given the UK as much access as it would have liked to India's financial and legal services industries. The agreement promises some benefits for the UK's financial services, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves understood to have pushed on behalf of the sector in discussions with her Indian counterpart. But more wide-ranging access was not agreed, and talks continue on a bilateral investment treaty aimed at protecting British investments in India and vice versa.

Holiday hotspot branded 'ghost town' as Brits in Spain say it's 'dead' this July
The summer holidays may be in full swing but this one popular destination in Spain has been abandoned by its usual visitors despite being in peak season As summer reaches its peak, many people are heading off on well-earned holidays to soak up the sun and escape their daily routine. One destination that continues to attract large crowds is Benidorm - a long-time favourite among families and popular with stag and hen parties. The Spanish resort remains a top choice for Brits thanks to its affordable accommodation, reasonably priced food and drinks and wide range of activities - not forgetting its famous nightlife. The town usually sees its highest number of visitors between June and August. However, one Brit who relocated to Benidorm has been surprised by how unusually quiet it is this July, the Mirror reports. Harry Poulton, 24, who moved there after his first lads' holiday at 18, described the current atmosphere on the Costa del Sol as being "like a ghost town." On TikTok, Harry expressed his surprise: "Benidorm is a ghost July?! I've never seen it this quiet. Where is everyone?!". In his video, he appears standing along the main strip and comments: "It's the middle of July, look behind me, it's dead. I'm on the Benidorm strip, there's barely any people, this is crazy." "I cannot believe it, this is the quietest, I've ever seen Benidorm," he continued. One holidaymaker currently in Benidorm, took to the comments to reply: "Currently in Benners. Our first trip here and I was expecting carnage. It's full of families." Another agreed with this, saying: "In Benny now, it's packed with families instead of stags and hens". Another user, expressed: "We went in July one year [and it] was all Spanish families around the pool." While a fourth chimed in: "No one has any money. Also the price they charge to go in summer is scandalous." Another comment pointed out: "It's like this every July, August. Shocking but in reality, it's too warm and very expensive." With another adding: "The price has gone up, we came two years ago it was coming up as one of the cheapest places to visit, now it's definitely not. However, once you have been you know it's worth every penny." Yet another person made a statement, saying: "I was there between 8th and 15th and it was a lot quieter than it was two summers ago. The Prices of holidays are going through the roof." Thomas Cook, which evolved from an airline into an online travel agency, suggests that August is the ideal month for a holiday to Benidorm. The company stated: "If you love hot and sunny weather, the best time of year to visit Benidorm would be during August, which is the hottest month in the resort. "The average temperature throughout August is a lovely 25C and has been known to reach around the 30C mark. If you enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea, August is the best month for that too, with the average sea temperature also being a comfortable 25C."
