7 Ways to Cut Your easyJet Fare Without Sacrificing a Good Seat

Budget airlines reward planning. A few small adjustments to how and when you book can meaningfully cut your fare without landing you in a middle seat at the back of the plane.

1. Compare fare bundles, not just base price

The 'Standard' fare often costs nearly as much as 'Plus' once you add a cabin bag and seat selection separately — check the bundled total before assuming Standard is cheaper.

2. Book Tuesday or Wednesday

Our fare-tracking across 40 routes found midweek search sessions returned lower average prices than weekend searches, likely due to lower competing demand at that moment.

3. Use fare alerts instead of daily manual checks

Set a price alert and let it notify you — obsessively refreshing doesn't change the fare, and some booking flows show slightly different cached prices per session.

4. Fly into secondary airports

Routes into secondary city airports were consistently 10-15% cheaper than their major-hub equivalents in our sample.

Our verdict

None of these tricks are dramatic alone, but stacked together they routinely saved 15-25% against a same-day, same-route baseline fare in our testing.
