When Is the Next easyJet Big Orange Sale? 2027 Dates Explained

Published 7 May 2026 | Updated 6 October 2026 by Kate Acaster

Looking for easyJet sale dates? The Big Orange Sale runs four or five times a year, and based on previous years the next one to expect is Black Friday in late November 2026, followed by the biggest sale of the year in the first week of January 2027. After that, expect a spring sale in March or April 2027, a summer sale in June or July and a September edition built around new winter routes. The last sale closed on 15 September 2026.

• Next expected: Black Friday in late November 2026, then early January 2027
• Biggest sale: January, with 1.2 million seats in the 2026 edition

Every edition includes easyJet holidays as well as flight-only fares. The best fares go fast, often within 24 to 48 hours of a sale opening, and having the easyJet app installed with push notifications turned on is the most reliable way to act before popular routes sell out.

What is the Big Orange Sale?

The Big Orange Sale is easyJet’s name for its seasonal promotional events, and it is where most easyJet sale dates originate each year. Each edition covers a range of routes from UK airports, usually with a travel window that stretches six to twelve months ahead. As a guide to scale, the January 2026 edition put 1.2 million seats on sale.

January usually brings the biggest discounts of the year, with up to 20 per cent off flights and easyJet holiday packages

Discounts are typically up to 20 per cent off the standard fare. The offer is not restricted to economy fares, and easyJet holidays, which package flights and accommodation together, are included in most editions. Package bookings work differently: instead of a flat percentage, savings come via a tiered promo code that changes with each sale.

Black Friday 2026: the next easyJet sale

Based on previous years, expect easyJet’s Black Friday sale in late November 2026. In 2025 it ran from 21 November to 1 December and took up to 10% off short-haul flights for departures between 5 December 2025 and 22 March 2026, with sample fares from £14.99, easyJet’s own release says. That window covered winter travel only, so summer 2027 needs the January sale. Our Black Friday flight deals tracker has the full 2025 terms.

• Expected timing: late November 2026
• Discount depth: up to 10% in 2025

easyJet holidays ran its own offer in 2025: £50, £100 or £200 off on minimum spends of £500, £800 and £2,000, with code BLACKFRIDAY, bookable until 2 December. Set up app notifications before the event so you see it open.

How much can you save in the Big Orange Sale?

Flight discounts typically run up to 20 per cent off the standard fare, occasionally stretching to 25 per cent in the final days of a sale on selected routes. easyJet Holidays packages work differently: instead of a flat percentage, savings come via a tiered promo code, so the more you spend on the overall package, the more you save. The exact code and thresholds change with each sale, so check the current offer at checkout rather than relying on last season’s numbers.

• Flights: up to 20% off, occasionally 25% in a sale’s final days
• easyJet Holidays: a tiered promo code, not a flat percentage

Popular summer routes to Spain, Portugal and Greece tend to have fewer heavily discounted seats. The best percentage savings often sit on quieter routes or off-peak dates, not the destinations everyone searches for first. The most recent edition, in September 2026, offered up to 20 per cent off flights and codes worth up to £400 off easyJet holidays.

The January 2027 sale: the one to target

The January Big Orange Sale is consistently the largest. It launches in the first week of January, when post-Christmas travel planning peaks, and typically covers the most routes and the highest number of discounted seats. Expect the 2027 edition in the first week of January. The 2026 one put 1.2 million seats on sale at up to 20 per cent off.

• Next expected: first week of January 2027
• 2026 edition: 1.2 million seats, up to 20% off

The downside is competition. Demand spikes the moment the sale opens, and the most popular summer routes, particularly to Spain, Portugal and Greece, sell out quickly. Flexible travel dates improve your chances considerably: fly mid-week or choose a slightly less peak fortnight and you will have more options once the best fares are gone. One practical step is to sign up for easyJet’s email newsletter before December, since the airline often sends advance notice or a preview to subscribers a day or two before the public launch.

Spring and summer 2027 Big Orange Sales

The spring sale, usually in March or April, focuses on summer travel. It tends to be smaller than January’s but still meaningful. Expect the next one in March or April 2027. The April 2026 edition put 730,000 seats on sale at up to 20 per cent off. This is a good option for anyone who missed the January sale or needs a specific route that was sold out then.

• Next spring sale: March or April 2027
• Best for: routes that sold out in the January sale

The summer sale, in June or July, targets late summer and autumn departures. Routes with remaining availability tend to be the focus, so the choice of destination is narrower, but the savings can be real on routes that have not yet filled. Check even if you think summer is fully booked: the sale often surfaces routes or dates that had not appeared affordable before.

• Summer sale focus: routes with remaining availability
• Timing: June or July 2027, targeting late summer and autumn travel

easyJet does not publish a forward-looking sale calendar. The pattern above reflects what the airline has done consistently over the past three years, but exact dates vary each year, and it is not announced until a few days before launch.

September 2027 Big Orange Sale

A further edition has become a regular fixture around late August or September. Unlike the January and spring sales, which lean heavily on summer beach routes, this one is usually built around new winter routes and city breaks. The 2026 edition ran from 3 to 15 September with 780,000 seats across 139 destinations, so expect the next one in late August or September 2027.

• Next expected: late August or September 2027
• 2026 edition: 780,000 seats, more than 35 new winter routes

Check it even outside peak booking season. If your plans are for a city break, half-term getaway or winter sun trip rather than a fixed summer week, the September edition tends to have a better spread of relevant routes than January’s, which sells out fastest on the most obvious summer destinations.

The easyJet app push notification is the fastest way to catch a sale before the best seats on popular routes sell out

How to hear about new easyJet sale dates early

There is no single official sale calendar, so multiple notification methods are worth setting up. The easyJet app is the fastest, and it is worth bookmarking easyJet’s own sales and offers page too. Email comes close. Social media is useful for general awareness but not reliable enough on its own to ensure you are among the first to book.

easyJet+ and sale access

easyJet+ is the airline’s paid membership scheme. Benefits include a dedicated overhead locker bag allowance, Speedy Boarding, and the ability to choose any available seat at no extra cost. During some Big Orange Sales, easyJet has made sale fares available to easyJet+ subscribers before the general public, or offered members enhanced discounts.

• easyJet+ perks: overhead locker bag, Speedy Boarding, free seat choice
• Sale access: sometimes offered to members before the general public

Whether membership is worth the cost depends on how often you fly with easyJet. For three or more return trips a year, the baggage and boarding benefits alone tend to cover the annual fee. Early access, where it applies, is a bonus. If you fly infrequently, there is no need for easyJet+ purely to access sale fares, as the general public sale is usually available within hours of the members’ window.

However you get the notification, the routes with the shortest supply of discounted seats are the ones worth deciding on before booking opens rather than during it.

Tips for booking in an easyJet sale

• Enable push notifications on the easyJet app before a sale is due, not after you hear about it
• Know the destination and approximate dates you want before the sale opens, so you can book immediately
• Sale fares are usually non-flexible, meaning changes or cancellations incur fees, so check your dates before confirming
• easyJet holidays sales can offer better value than flight-only on popular Mediterranean destinations, as the package includes accommodation at discounted rates
• Popular summer routes sell out within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes faster on the biggest sales
• Not all UK airports have the same routes discounted, so check your nearest departure point specifically
• Compare simultaneously with Ryanair sales, as competing airlines often respond to each other’s pricing

Booked an easyJet sale fare? What to sort next

A sale fare covers the flight and a small under-seat bag, nothing more. Seat selection, checked baggage, cover and getting to the airport are all separate decisions, and they are cheaper sorted now than added later.

Sale fares are usually the least flexible fares easyJet sells. It is worth deciding on add-ons and cover at the same time as booking, rather than leaving them until closer to departure.

Decision	Why it matters	Where to check
Seat selection	The basic fare gives you a random seat, so groups can end up split across the cabinCheapest added at booking, not at the airport	easyJet seat selection
Checked baggage	Bag-drop prices are set at the airport, not onlineAdding it with your fare avoids the higher rate	easyJet baggage allowance
Travel insurance	Sale fares are largely non-flexible, so cover matters if plans changeWorth arranging before, not after, a problem	Is easyJet travel insurance worth it?
Airport parking	Advance booking can cut the cost by more than half versus turning up on the dayBook once your travel dates are confirmed	How far in advance to book airport parking

Prices and terms for each add-on are set by easyJet and change by route and date. Check the current cost before you book.

“Settle your dates and destination before a Big Orange Sale opens, because by the time you’ve weighed up five options, someone decisive has booked the one you wanted. When you do choose, look past Spain, Portugal and Greece, where heavily discounted seats are thinner on the ground. The quieter routes and off-peak dates are where the bigger percentage cuts usually turn up.”

Frequently asked questions

When is the next easyJet sale?

Based on previous years, expect the next easyJet sale around Black Friday in late November 2026, then the January Big Orange Sale in the first week of January 2027. easyJet doesn’t announce dates in advance, and the last edition closed on 15 September 2026.

What are the easyJet sale dates?

easyJet doesn’t publish sale dates in advance, but based on recent years expect Black Friday in late November 2026, then sales in January, March or April, June or July and late August or September 2027.

What is the Big Orange Sale?

The Big Orange Sale is easyJet’s name for its main promotional events. It runs several times a year and typically offers up to 20 per cent off selected flights and easyJet holidays. The January edition is the largest, with the most routes and the highest number of seats on sale. Each sale has a specific booking deadline and a travel window that can extend up to twelve months ahead.

How much can you save in an easyJet sale?

Discounts are typically up to 20 per cent off the standard fare. The actual saving depends on the route and travel date: Spain, Portugal and Greece usually have fewer heavily discounted seats, while quieter routes or off-peak dates see the bigger cuts. The best fares usually go within 24 to 48 hours of a sale opening.

Do easyJet holiday packages go on sale too?

Yes. easyJet holidays, which bundle flights with accommodation, are included in most Big Orange Sales. Package savings come via a tiered promo code rather than a flat percentage, so the amount off depends on the code attached to that sale. It is worth checking the easyJet holidays website separately, as the package promotions sometimes run with different terms or booking windows to the flights-only sale.

Yes, easyJet typically runs a Black Friday sale in late November, so expect the next one in late November 2026. In 2025 it ran from 21 November to 1 December, took up to 10% off short-haul flights and covered departures from 5 December 2025 to 22 March 2026.
