July Easyjet flights

[aquamarine1]

Does anyone have any experience of what 'sold out' actually means for easyjet flights. I was on their website checking the times of our booked July flights from Liverpool and the flights are listed as sold out for 4 straight days. I'm worried this means they'll be cancelled as I've never seen it before. Any insight from recent travellers would be appreciated!

Ours for early August says the same but it’s still there on the app. For us there were two flights to the same place leaving within an hour of each other and my husband figured out that the other one had been cancelled (sorry I don’t know how he did it). We assume they consolidated the two flights. This tallied with the number of pre-booked seats on our flight materially increasing around the same time.
The stress is horrible isn’t it

Ah thanks so much.

It is indeed v stressful. And I just came across this on BBC. I fly within the next three weeks so v keen to know so I can make alternative arrangements.

It could mean that the flight is full?

I would have thought that, if they're going to cancel, they'll do it very soon, because if they give you more than 2 weeks' notice, they don't have to compensate you, but within that time, they need to refund you, and give you a minimum of around £200 pp compensation on top.

Fingers crossed OP. Even though there's been lots of cancellations, most flights are still going, so the odds are still good.

I read this and the Independents article. One of them quotes easy jet as saying they are ‘consolidating’ flights so you could choose to optimistically interpret this is as them taking half empty ones and merging them with similarly half empty ones. But of course they will have the logistics of having planes in the right places to manage too. I’ve gone as far as to look how many flights are going out to my [popular tourist destination] and back to Gatwick each day and now there is only one each way on the days I am travelling so I’m hoping they won’t want the headache of removing a whole day of flights from my destination.
I could be massively oversimplifying this of course.

I avoided Easyjet only to book with Ryanair during their strike :( Seems like there's no winning this summer!

It's a bloody nightmare! I can't believe that 4 days' worth of flights from liverpool to Portugal are sold out.

There's not a football match going on is there?

Just checked and nothing, I'll be quite surprised if they're not cancelled I think.

My husbands flight was showing as sold out a few weeks ago. Then the evening before became available again. Flight went ahead as planned

Oh brilliant @mummyof2boys30 that's v hopeful! Thank you.
