Poster: A snowHead

I've taken the below info from their website, looking at half term release dates it states mid May?
The last couple of years it's been March ?
Is the website bluffing me or is it subject to change ?

Their release date for Easter flights (which they made more precise as the time approached) was dead right, opened at one minute past midnight. The price of Saturday flights had gone up a great deal (three times) in an hour and five times by the morning.
I will be waiting to book Christmas flights for the family but not Saturdays or Sundays, so not such a bunfight.

@chocksaway, I did that but got no alert for the Easter flights. Maybe I did it wrong - must try again.

@DaiSki, just looked back through my emails from last year, flights for feb 2016 were released 27th march 2015 if that is any help, I got an email from easyjet and looked straightaway but costs were astronomical for a family of 4 so decided to drive instead.

I booked Easter flights for 3 families 15 minutes after they opened at midnight. That was too late for the best prices. At 7 am you've definitely missed the first worm.

They dates work well for us, we are driving for first time this school Easter and that will let us know if we need flights or not for half term 2017 before they are released. Hoping the drive is. Ok. As flying is the biggest low of the holiday for me

@Jonny996, there is no comparison between driving at Easter (normally a doddle) and driving at half term (needs careful planning to avoid heavy traffic, even if there's no snow on the roads).
If you're heading to France, Easter is low season, UK half term ALWAYS coincides with French half term and sometimes with Paris weeks, which are the worst.

Hi Pam,
Any indications on how much is a returned Geneva ticket cost if booked 15 minutes after mid-night on the release date for Feb Half Term?
Thanks!!
