On an energy bill special of Money Show Live, Lewis warned people that they will have to act fast to secure good deals, saying anyone delaying could pay more for their flights.
He said: “EasyJet’s pricing is demand-based, so the more people buying, the higher the price goes, which means the early bird often catches the cheap worm…or flight.
Lewis said it wasn’t clear what time the flights would be released, but said those getting up early would get the best deals.
He continued: “Tickets are released this Thursday morning.
“It could be at 5am, 6am, it could be 7am.
“The likelihood is, can’t guarantee it, but if you get there very early, you will get the prices very cheap.
“Every time it has worked before but I’m not guaranteeing it.”
Lewis has plenty of advice for travellers, especially when it comes to saving money on flights.
Earlier this year, he revealed how to win back hundreds of pounds on flights.
A fan of his site managed to win back more than £400 by going through small claims court, according to MoneySavingExpert.com.
Nick Blades, from Gloucestershire, successfully argued he should have been given a refund for a Ryanair flight he didn’t take due to Government advice not to travel during the pandemic.
The airline had initially refused to grant him a refund for a flight he had booked from Bristol to Malaga.
The 65-year-old was refused a refund twice, first when he complained and again when he escalated the complaint.
He was awarded £429, which included the price of his flight and the £90 in court fees.
Lewis also revealed how to find cheaper flights by checking different schools’ holidays.
In a MoneySavingExpert newsletter he said: “Fortunately, some simple tricks can help you fight back and turn the tables on sky-high prices for family trips abroad.”
The MSE teams found that a week’s holiday in a three-star hotel in Majorca, including flights from Birmingham, cost £384 per person leaving on July 13.
But on July 23, the same holiday jumped to £540 per person.
Lewis said: “Most schools in Scotland break up earlier (this year it’s around June 28), so if that’s you, consider going away sooner rather than later.”
You can use the Gov.UK’s school holiday dates tool to find out when schools in your area have their holidays.
Meanwhile, anyone looking to jet off to the Maldives can find some great deals with TUI.
And TUI also has family beach holidays with free child places & £0 deposits this summer.
