Find affordable Easter weekend flights with Kiwi.com
Easter Sunday 2026 falls on April 5, with Good Friday on April 3 and Easter Monday on April 6. That gives you a four-day window, and with the right timing, you can stretch it into a proper spring getaway without overpaying for flights.
How to get cheap Good Friday flights in 2026
Good Friday (April 3) is one of the busiest departure days of the Easter weekend, along with the Thursday before and Easter Monday itself. To avoid the price spike, consider departing on Tuesday or Wednesday of Holy Week instead. Even shifting by a single day can make a noticeable difference. Checking nearby airports is another easy win: smaller regional hubs often have lower demand over holiday weekends than major international airports.
When to book Easter flights for the best fare
Easter sits in an interesting spot for airfares. It's a peak holiday, but it falls in the shoulder season between winter and summer. The sweet spot for booking tends to be 6 to 10 weeks before departure for international flights and 3 to 5 weeks for short-haul or domestic routes. Prices usually climb sharply in the final two weeks as seats fill up, so setting a price alert early and booking once you see a fare you're comfortable with is a solid strategy.
Where to go for an Easter break
Easter is one of the first real chances of the year to catch warm weather without peak-summer pricing. Beach destinations around the Mediterranean and Atlantic islands are already sunny in early April, making them popular with families over the school holiday. If you prefer a city break, several European capitals host spring festivals and Easter markets with far fewer crowds than summer. Being flexible on your destination is the easiest way to find a good fare. Try searching with an open destination to see where flights are cheapest from your airport.
Tips to save on Easter flights
Mid-week flights (Tuesday to Thursday) are almost always cheaper than Friday or Monday departures over Easter. If you can travel a day before or after the long weekend, you'll avoid the biggest demand spikes. Combining different airlines on outbound and return legs can also unlock lower fares that you won't find booking a single carrier roundtrip. Finally, consider red-eye or early morning departures. They're less popular but often significantly cheaper on holiday weekends.

Real customer reviews from travelers who booked with us:
“I had a problem with my return flight as I had a stopover and my first flight was late and made me miss my second flight. kiwi quickly and easily rebooked me on the next flight. the process was transparent and guided by customer service over the phone instead of a machine or chat, which is greatly appreciated in such a delicate situation. I don't usually leave comments or ratings but on this occasion they have earned a positive comment.”

“I had heard not great things about kiwi so was really nervous about booking with them. however service was great and flights went smoothly (they even checked in for me!), so it was all in all a terrific experience. I especially liked how quickly they responded to my many queries and how patient they were with me. excellent customer service!”
