Let's get this right out in the open: I cannot say enough good things about Easyjet. They may be cheap and employ the most hideous colourscheme in the history of aviation (I swear they have discovered a new shade of orange more garish and eye-bothering than any other), but this is a serious airline. And here's why...
For a start, they are a scheduled service. Of course, being an airline there are always going to be delays, particularly in high season, but Easyjet manage to rise above this to a large degree, as the existence of a set timetable gives them precedence over charter airlines in getting off the tarmac. Most impressive was my journey from Liverpool to Majorca and back with Easyjet last summer; all flights on time, check-in was hassle free and reasonably efficient and the monkeys are trained as well as any I have encountered in a major corporation. Hell, even the complete breakdown of the baggage handling system at Liverpool did little to derail our genial hosts. They may not feed you on the plane, but they do just about everything else.
And then there's the price. Much cheapness, many bargains. We booked on the internet at relatively short notice and secured return flights to Majorca for a smidge over £200. Not overly impressive until you include the fact that our flights were an entire month apart, something that pushes the price of charter flights up by a frightening amount. Most of our charter quotes were well over £300, and those that didn't include change-overs were even greater.
And finally, Easyjet have unveiled a new service which is very much after my own heart. Twice daily, their giant metal birds fly from Edinburgh to Amsterdam, with return flights costing as much as a night on the tiles, tax included. I will certainly be going soon for some of the unmissable Amsterdam culture... and of course I mean fine art and windmills. <ahem>
