Cheap plane seats and money off toys
Urgent Easyjet cheap summer seat trick, all Sainsbury’s toys at least 20% off, eBay 20% off £20 code, free dog treat and free X Factor live tickets. These are our Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis’ Deals of the Week.
Remember, deals can change quickly, even while I’m on the programme. So always double-check the terms and conditions before spending. Plus, while I hope these deals will save you cash, don’t spend if you can’t afford it, don’t need it, or won’t use it.
Today is the cheapest time to book Easyjet summer 2016 flights
Easyjet's prices are fluid and move based on demand for any particular flight. So when they’re usually launched, they’re priced cheaply and are quickly changed depending on how many are booking.
It releases tickets four times a year and today is the crucial summer 2016 period for June to 11 September flights. There is no exact release time – different seats are put on sale at different points throughout the day, so keep checking – and prices can and do change rapidly. For more help see Martin’s 16 Easyjet booking tricks guide.
There is no guarantee it’s the cheapest today, so it’s a question of repeated trial and error to see if it looks good. Yet if you book on Easyjet and the price later drops, you may be able to call it up and it’ll give you the difference back in vouchers towards another Easyjet flight (though only for standard reductions, not sales).
