Booking a family holiday always comes with a mental checklist: somewhere the kids will actually enjoy, somewhere you won’t spend the whole time problem-solving and ideally, somewhere that doesn’t completely wipe out your savings. easyJet holidays’ Big Orange Sale which is live now until 5 May ticks a few of those boxes, particularly if you’ve got younger children in tow.
The headline offer for families is free kids’ places on thousands of package holidays, available all the way through to October 2027, including during school holidays. If you’re travelling with one or two children, that saving alone can significantly shift what’s possible with your budget.
For extra peace of mind with rising fuel costs, easyJet has introduced a ‘Book with Confidence Promise’, guaranteeing prices won’t increase once you’ve booked and confirming its full summer schedule will go ahead – including 30 new UK routes – covering more than 50 million seats. easyJet Holidays customers also benefit from an ‘Ultimate Flexibility’ policy, allowing changes up to 28 days before travel and cancellations up to 60 days before departure, with any deposit returned as holiday credit.
Family on beach
What’s included in the sale?
There are two parts to it. First, discounted flights: over 730,000 seats to and from the UK are available with up to 20% off, covering departures between 1 May 2026 and 14 March 2027. Useful if you’ve already got accommodation sorted and just need to nail down flights. It also covers key school holiday windows including Christmas, Easter and February half-term.
Second, package holiday discounts of up to £400 off when booked before 5 May with the code ORANGESALE. All packages include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers on beach holidays.
Antalya, Turkey
Where does the free kids’ place actually make sense?
Not every deal will suit every family, so it’s worth knowing where the free kids’ place offers are strongest. Two that stand out:
Antalya, Turkey – seven nights at the five-star Eftalia Village, all-inclusive, from £621pp with a free kids’ place included. Flights from London Gatwick on 1 July, 2026. If you’re travelling with children who want to be in the pool all day, an all-inclusive resort in Turkey at this price point is genuinely hard to argue with.
Rhodes, Greece – seven nights at the five-star Mitsis Rodos Village, all-inclusive, from £962 pp with a free kids’ place. Flights from London Gatwick on 6 August, 2026. Rhodes works well for families with older children who want a mix of beach time and something to actually explore – the medieval old town is worth a wander.

Other family deals worth a look
If those two don’t fit your dates or departure airport, there’s a reasonable spread of other options:
- Majorca: Seven nights at the four-star Alua Calas de Mallorca, all-inclusive, from £543pp – flights from Liverpool on 11 May, 2026
- Tenerife: Seven nights at the four-star GF Fanabe, bed & breakfast, from £484pp – flights from Manchester on 8 July, 2026
- Corfu: Seven nights at the four-star Canvas by Mitsis Belvedere, all-inclusive, from £600pp – flights from Manchester on 2 July, 2026
- Cyprus: Seven nights at the five-star Anastasia Beach Hotel, all-inclusive, from £1,251pp – flights from London Gatwick on 8 August, 2026
For families with teenagers who might be starting to resist a standard beach resort, there are city break options too – three nights in Paris from £260pp (flying from Southampton) or Amsterdam from £312pp (flying from London Stansted) are both solid options for a shorter trip.
