I have just booked a flight with Easyjet flying from Liverpool to Amsterdam and back again. Not the first time i have used them - been to Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga before - but the it's first time i've got a return ticket for less than 50 quid. You'de be lucky to get to London for that if you live in the North. In fact i paid a total of £40.70 including airport tax. Not bad eh?
In fact the most expensive i've ever paid was return to Barcelona from Luton which cost £107.50 (or thereabouts).

Flying from Liverpool is a very different experience to flying from any of the big airports like Manchester/Heathrow. It has the feeling of a local bus station with most of the shops keeping normal high street opening hours which seems a bit strange. Although both Liverpool and Luton (the main UK bases for Easyjet) are growing very rapidly. Indeed Liverpool has just been renamed Liverpool John Lennon (who else? well I suppose it's better than Lily Savage).

However, you do benefit from the size of the airport in that you don't have to make a 5 mile treck (ok i exagerrate) to the departure lounge. Check-in is a very swift affair and you don't have to mess about with tickets as when you book they note your name and just match it up when you get to the check-in desk.

The staff and crew are polite and when you board it's a case of just jumping into a spare seat as there is no specific seat allocation.
There is no free food on the flight which is not really a problem when flying to somewhere like Amsterdam as it only takes an hour or so. On longer flights though you do get a bit peckish and so would have to fork out for the food that they sell. It's pretty uninspiring stuff and isn't exactly good value but if you save money on the flight then who cares?

The destinations they fly to are absolutely fantastic...great European cities like Athens, Amsterdam, Madrid and Barcelona. Instead of a trip to London why not go to one of these places...it's much cheaper!!
