SAVE MONEY: Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has revealed his top tips
1. Book the wrong date trick
According to the 46-year-old money guru easyJets “Flexifares” let you switch dates by a few weeks without paying extra.
It works anytime of the year and is particularly useful when prices really take off.
The idea is to book a Flexifare on the same route at a less busy time when flights are cheaper.
Restrictions mean that you can only move the ticket one week earlier or three weeks later, you cant just book any date.
Youll usually pay more than a standard flight for a Flexifare ticket, but as youll get the chance to switch dates, youll be able to knock off the price.

2. Book in one go to avoid multiple admin fees
If youre travelling with a family or group, make sure you book the flights all in one go to avoid multiple charges.
EasyJet charges a one-off £15 admin fee on every booking, regardless of how many people are flying.
So an easy way to avoid paying it multiple times is to pay for all flights in one go, assuming youve got the money to do that.

3. Check in 30 days in advance for a better seat on your flight – at no extra cost
Unlike other airlines, easyJet lets you check in and allocates you a seat for free 30 days before you fly.
Youll have to pay if you want a specific seat, but the earlier you check in, the more likely it is that you get allocated a better seat.
According to Money Saving Expert, if you prefer to reserve a seat when you book, easyJet charges anything from £1.99 for a basic seat to £29.99.
Dont leave it until the last minute as most seats will have already been booked and theres a huge change youll be sat away from your family and friends.
4. Trick to check-in luggage for free
There's a clever way to get hand luggage-sized bags checked in for free.
Overhead lockers get full quickly on busy flights so staff ask for volunteers to check-in their hand luggage.
So ask if its an option at the gate (or even check-in) and you may be able to stow away your gear in the hold free of charge.
