I've just had a look on the Easyjet website and they have flights available from 26th March until 16th June from Luton or Gatwick.
However, if on the original search you put in either Luton or Gatwick it tells you the route is only available until November 2012 but if you put in all London Airports it comes up with plenty of available dates. Whether or not you can actually go on to book I don't know.

It was the same for Manchester the other week Nikki & you couldn't book it then, maybe they're getting ready to start. pete.

Looking at their website and also their facebook page, some flights are definitely being booked.
Some people are saying that certain flights can only be booked on their phone whilst other flights that say only available until Nov '12, if you put in the dates required as before 24th March but then show the yearly view, it actually brings up dates until 16th June which can be booked.

Dates are bookable outbound from Manchester up to the 15th june, but as yet there are no return flights after this date, 10th june is coming up at 80 each, this includes luggage & sitting together. Sorely tempted to book it now & book the return as & when. pete.

I heard via Easyjet's facebook page last night that you can book late summer flights over the phone. Apparently, sometimes you have to be quite persistent as the customer services advisers aren't all aware that the flights are on the system. So I phoned them this morning and spoke to a very helpful adviser and have subsequently now booked 3 weeks (yes 3 weeks!!!!) from 16th July, flying from Luton, at a very good price It might be worth others trying this as the more seats that sell this way the higher the online prices will be. You also need to ask for the online discount, although I was given it without asking. It's such a relief to have finally booked:)

Well done Nikki. Sounds like you made a good deal for your 3 ( count them!) weeks in the sun. Regards David

I've just read on the other forum that somebody wasn't able to book this morning. It looks as though they shouldn't really have been taking bookings and that they have all now been told not to.
Apparently the reason for this is that they want all customers to have a fair chance of the cheap online prices when they come out. This sounds fair but I must admit to being relieved that I managed to book. Just hope they don't cancel my booking now.

Good questio Pete, I've just phoned Spiros Banos and he's fully booked I wasn't expecting that at all so now have a major problem trying to find a 3 bed apartment at a price that we can afford. There'll be 6 of us next year. Any help or ieas would be appreciated.

I guess Spiros checked Eftichia's as well, Nikki - she is his cousin, she has one 3 bedroom apartment and the price is the same.

Yes he did Steve, not quite sure what we're going to do.
I'm wondering whether it's because we're flying on a Tuesday which makes it a pain for change over days.
