When does Transavia release flights? Transavia publishes its schedules twice a year under a clear policy: summer tickets go on sale by the end of September or early October at the latest, and winter tickets by the end of April or early May. Popular routes sometimes open earlier, and summer 2027 is now fully on sale. Its UK and Ireland network is limited to three departure points.

The official policy: when does Transavia release flights?
Unlike some rivals, Transavia publishes an official release policy on its own help pages. Summer tickets, for travel between April and October, go on sale by the end of September or the beginning of October of the year before at the latest. Winter tickets, for travel between November and March, go on sale by the end of April or the beginning of May at the latest.
| Tickets go on sale by | Confirmed example | |
|---|---|---|
Summer season | End of September or early October | Summer 2027: about half of capacity on sale 12 June 2026, full schedule 16 September 2026. Summer 2026 went on general sale 17 September 2025 |
Winter season | End of April or early May | Policy confirmed on transavia.com; winter 2026/27 flights are on sale now, though Transavia didn’t publish an exact on-sale date |
Summer 2027 opened earlier than the policy requires. Transavia put about half of its capacity, more than 30 routes, on sale on 12 June 2026 and opened the rest on 16 September 2026, covering 87 destinations on 162 routes. Summer 2026 followed a similar two-step pattern, with popular routes from Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Rotterdam on sale from 17 July 2025 and the full schedule from 17 September 2025.
“Transavia is one of the few airlines that tells you its deadlines in advance. Summer tickets must be on sale by early October and winter by early May, and summer 2027 beat that comfortably, with half of it bookable from 12 June. So if you’re eyeing a winter 2027/28 trip, put early May 2027 in the diary and start checking transavia.com in April.”Kate Acaster, Chief Editor, Flight Tribe
Which UK and Ireland airports does Transavia actually fly from?
Transavia’s UK and Ireland network is smaller than some competitors’, with departures from just three airports: London Stansted, Edinburgh and Dublin. All three connect to its Amsterdam Schiphol hub, plus other European leisure destinations depending on the season. Because the network is compact, Transavia often works best as a connection through Amsterdam rather than for a wide choice of direct routes.
How Transavia compares with other UK airlines
So when does Transavia release flights compared with its competitors? Its window of roughly seven to ten months sits in the middle of the pack. Ryanair sells about 13 months ahead (flights to 30 October 2027 were bookable in October 2026), Wizz Air publishes schedules 10 to 12 months out, and easyJet and Aer Lingus follow a similar pattern to Transavia’s. Transavia is also one of relatively few low-cost airlines to publish an exact release policy, which makes its timing easier to plan around.
How to check when a Transavia route has been released
The most reliable check is to search your route on transavia.com. If a date isn’t showing, that period probably hasn’t gone on sale yet, rather than being sold out. Because Transavia publishes its policy in advance, you can also estimate when a new season will open without waiting for a press release.
