How to get cheapest Easyjet flights?
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right category to write in but I'm giving it a shot
I'm planning on going Prague to Bristol and back in Summer 2016 with Easyjet, and I'd like to know if there's any trick to get the flights at their cheapest. Is there a pattern of any kind? Because last time I looked they were fairly expensive, and last year I bought really cheap ones about 2 months ahead of time.
Thanks!!

As far as I know, Easyjet uses a dead-simple pricing system. The price varies depending on the number of unsold seats; the first ticket sold is dirt cheap and the last seat on a full flight is the most expensive. The last time I looked, the entire pricing structure was shown on the website.

buy online, as early as possible, pay with a debit card (iirc there's a fee for credit card purchases ), and make sure you print your boarding pass before you get to the airport

Simon Calder offers some advice in The Independent but I seem to recall cleverer people than me on this Forum had worked out release dates for fares and the point at which they were cheapest.

I know choices between Prague and Bristol are limited but, if EZ remains at silly prices, check other options also - perhaps with a connection or perhaps to Exeter or LHR with a bus connection.

Doesn't always work that way on low cost carriers. Eg. I'm looking for flights next September with Ryanair. In October they were pricing at £250 return by November they were £180 and now they are £140. Easyjet are currently £200 for the same route. I have a feeling the Easyjet price may fall to match Ryanair.

Don't assume that the LLCs are the cheapest, in June for example BA do flights £64 (single) from London. Seems to compare favorably. Train journey from from London to Bristol is 2 hours.

If you want to fly during peak season, there is a trick involving first buying a flexi-fare on a cheaper date, then changing it to the date you actually want: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tea...exifare-trick/

You are picking 2 non-hubs/low competition cities.
U2 won't sell that seats dirty cheap like LON-BGY.
As said grab it asap, the earlier the better.
IME with the LCC you hardly see bumps up or down following the inventory.

Book early, then if you see the price fall, EasyJet have a "price promise" where they will refund you the difference in the form of a voucher if the price falls. Have had this many times. Just call easyjet, they will see the price change and email you a code for a discount on your next ticket.
