Easyjet puts summer 2028 on sale with 67 destinations

Easyjet Holidays has put its products for travel between 1 April and 31 October 2028 on sale in October 2026. Two years ahead. The offer includes 67 destinations and 2,000 hotels, the usual catalogue from the orange airline's tour operation, available across its network but with real commercial impact mainly in Britain, its home market. Preferente reported it, and the number is telling: opening summer 2028 before winter 2026 has even started means package sales have stopped being a race of months and become a race of years.

The model is the classic one. A package with hotel, flight and extras such as transfers or excursions, mostly served by Easyjet's own aircraft on scheduled services. That is why the airline has spent years strengthening its presence at UK airports: the more origins it controls, the more packages it can assemble without relying on third parties. It is the same logic as Jet2Holidays, its direct UK competitor, which does carry more weight in tour operation. Easyjet Holidays grows every year and has already earned its place in the group's structure, as this outlet has been reflecting in its Spain results.

The reading for the rest of the sector is twofold. For hotels, a tour operator opening its catalogue two years ahead is a partner to negotiate rates and allocations with far earlier than usual, and that brings order to the season. For independent agencies, the product remains available through their channel, just like Jet2's, so no door is closed. And for destinations, especially Spanish ones, the signal is that the British package buyer will find closed offers very far in advance, which leaves less room for improvisation and more weight on the previous commercial relationship.

The question left is whether this record lead time will become the norm or whether it is a one-off move to capture early bookings and secure load on specific routes. Two things are worth watching: whether Jet2Holidays responds with a similar calendar in the coming weeks, and whether the rest of the UK tour operators make a move before the year is out. If they do, the sector's commercial calendar changes scale, and anyone negotiating hotel inventory with the season already sold will need to sharpen revenue management with more months of visibility ahead.
