...business and we booked with EasyJet - and easy it was! ~~ Who are they? EasyJet are a low cost, no frills airline based at London Luton Airport. They fly to various UK destinations, as well as key places within Europe. They were founded about 5 years ago by a Greek man called Stelios.

Review of EasyJet - EZU

...THE ITINERARY EasyJet do a twice daily service to Geneva from London Luton, and at the end of April once the skiing season is well and truly over, the prices plummet to a ridiculously low level. A return to Geneva leaving on Thursday returning on Monday for £59, including taxes? Now you are talking. As a caveat – the cost does go up as you get closer to flight time - this price was obtained a couple of months in advance. It was easy to book ...
...GET OUT OF THAT! EasyJet provide you with a number to call for any enquiries. Once I found a fully functional payphone I called the number (I don’t have a mobile – I’m a bit of luddite). It was an automated call service of course, which informed me I would have to hold for aproximately five minutes. I waited and fed money into the phone. Five minutes later I was actually talking to a real person – a sweet, lovely, wonderful, ...

...nice things. I traveled with EasyJet for short hop to Madrid. Now the cheap and cheerful airline is quite an interesting experience. ~~~ Book Early ~~~~ The prices with EasyJet are certainly very good. But you should book early as the prices go up nearer the departure date. My colleague was booking a stag weekend in Amsterdam. When he originally looked at the prices it worked out at about £85 per person. Well boys being boys, it took some time for ...
...go. The lady at EasyJet offered to call him back in an hour to confirm if he wanted the flights. She duly called an hour later but unfortunately he had gone off to the loo. I spoke to her and she said she would phone back in 10 minutes. 10 minutes later she phoned back to confirm his booking and take his payment details. I considered this good service as she had held 14 seats open for him before he made his payment. ~~~~ Checking In – Luton ...

Review of EasyJet - EZU

I flew to Barcelona with easyJet last week and after reading a negative op on the airline today, I would like to share my thoughts on the company too (no disrespect intended andyrev!). As most of you will already know, easyJet are an award winning low cost airline and recently came sixth in a "Best airline" survey, beating British Airways. I chose to fly with easyJet for two reasons; cost and departure from Liverpool airport, which was convenient ...
...cost 121.00 in total and easyJet have a policy of charging separately for each leg of your journey. My outward journey cost 71.00 and the return fare was 50.00. In addition, easyJet will let you change your return date (subject to availability)for a nominal sum of 10.00 to cover administrative costs. So how do easyJet manage to keep the cost of their flights so low? Do they skimp on staff training? Are the planes basic and uncomfortable? Are the ...

...Our first trip using EasyJet was from Luton to Corfu (EasyJet have two main offices, based in Luton and Liverpool), a flight of around three and a half hours aboard one of EasyJet’s Boeing 737s. We arrived at the airport some two hours before departure as requested on our booking details and check in was relatively straightforward. The queues were fairly short as we’d arrived in plenty of time, later they did become quite long. The EasyJet ...
...was that everything provided by EasyJet is bright orange, the plane itself, the stewards/stewardess’ outfits and all accessories, a bit of a turn off if your tummy is churning and you’re feeling slightly sick with nerves! Carrot coloured uniforms all around you is the last thing you want to be looking at! A meal was included on the flight as part of the basic price plan, not the most exciting of gourmet treats, but was certainly edible ...

Review of EasyJet - EZU

In November last year myself and a group of friends decided we would go to Amsterdam. The first thing we all needed to decide was who to fly/sail with. A few ideas were brandished about and it was decided that we would fly. So off I went to get various web addresses - BA, KLM and Easy Jet. The first two, although the sites were fairly easy to use the prices were way above my budget of £60. I typed in the URL http://www.easyjet.com and up popped ...
...as orange is one of my favourite colours. Next I needed to know if they did Amsterdam flights. I went to the booking page and they have a really simple form with - 1. A list of destinations to choose from and to 2. Flying schedule - (out 21/3/02) (return 24/3/02) 3. number of passengers 4. A SHOW PRICES button That was it!!! Easy Jet is really straightforward to use. You can find out the information you need, and make your booking, quickly and ...

I had to attend a conference in Belfast and decided to try the ‘easy’ experience with Easy Jet. Like many people I had become enthralled by the ‘Airline’ programme and it’s behind the scenes view of airport life. A quick Yahoo! Search found the Website (easyjet.com). The booking was swift and easy (as promised) and the fares were very reasonable costing just £60. The airline has a variety of routes and the cost of the flight is dependent on how ...
...I have heard get some stonking deals. But for me £60 was a bargain. I was sent an email with an electronic ticket. Things were looking good and very efficient. The flight was from London Gatwick Airport, which did call for quite an early start, but at £60 it was fine by me. At the check-in desk I was told that there would be an hours delay. Also there were NO security questions whatsoever. I used to travel to Belfast a great deal and am used to ...

...number of positive reviews for Easyjet here. I use them fairly frequently to fly from my home (Malaga) to the UK so I thought I'd write a review myself in order to redress the balance. First though the positive: Easyjet is often the cheapest option when flying between Britain and Spain, especially if you want to travel for a period of less than a week, or you want to start your journey in Spain (many cut-price travel agents will not sell return ...
...bit: my biggest gripe with Easyjet is it's punctuality. Now I notice that many other reviewers seem to think Easyjet nice and on-time, but that is not my experience at all. Every single flight I have ever been on with Easyjet has been dalyed by at least 20 minutes, some for over an hour. It seems that there is a downside to having "the fastest flight turnaround time" - that one late flight has a knock-on effect throughout the day. Also many delays ...

...What made us go for EasyJet were the prices and the availability of the flights. It was also very easy to book through thier website and pay for. One thing you do not get is a ticket, it's all done by computer to cut the cost. Easyjet also through thier website enable to book car parking and car hire, which we used and it worked well. Now being a first time flyer and being afraid of flying I was of course quite nervous but as we were leaving home ...
...Recieved an e mail from EasyJet who in line with thier policies have given us a credit of £351.00 against the total £701.00 which was the total we paid for all our flights, this was for the outward bound plane being delayed over 4 hours, the problem is that we have to use the credit by the 24 May 2004 which to us is as good as giving us nothing. Our financial situation leaves no room for luxuries such as holidays out of this country, this trip was ...

I have used Easy jet over 40 times in the past three years, mainly for business within the UK & for short city breaks to Europe. My company gives me the option, fly with a budget airline or drive. As I live in Scotland & the company is based in the south of England, Easy Jet is my savior. I can honestly say that in 99% of cases they are cheap, efficient & punctual. They provide a better service any train company I've dealt with & provide a better ...
...with Easy Jet is to book early & avoid the expensive last minute fares, yes we all know you start off with a small price & by the time you add on your extras & taxes it has risen considerably, but compared to Ryan Air they are less misleading. Their website is great, I can book a flight & have the confirmation details printed off quicker than obtaining a price for a train ticket to London from any of the train companies!! At the booking stage you ...

...flown 3-4 times a day. Easyjet has a number of main locations in the UK, being Luton, Liverpool, Aberdeen, Belfast, Gatwick & Glasgow, though I think most flights go from Luton & Liverpool. It would be nice to have flights going from somewhere in Yorkshire or the North East & the south east & wales has been overlooked. Some of the main destinations include Athens, Amsterdam, Barcalona, Madrid & Zurich though others are available. A full list is on ...
...you book more than a week in advance, the fare tends to be cheaper, although the earlier you book, the better. Overall it's worth checking to see if Easyjet fly your route before booking with anyone else, otherwise you're throwing money away. Good stuff! :D :D :D :D :D ...

...the UK and have used EasyJet quite a few times. I'd heard both good and bad things about them so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I decided to go for them based on two factors, mainly price and destinations. Note: my flights with EasyJet have all been Newcastle - Charles de Gaulle and vice versa. Destinations Many low cost airlines have limited destinations or go to out-of-town airports, fortunately EasyJet doesn't seem to. I'm only aware of 3 budget ...
...the airlines, flying my route, EasyJet is the cheapest. It's usually a few hundred less than AirFrance and less than half of BA's price. Booking I booked all of my flights via their website, it cuts out the middle men but you do have to be careful as they try to sell you lots of extras. The worst thing is that travel insurance is added automatically, so remember to remove it! It's best to pick insurance yourself so you can choose the right cover ...

At £60 return each I was very impressed with the standard of service received by my mother, wheel chair from check-in desk to departure lounge, and onward to the aircraft.

Yes, the airline is cheap and cheerful, ...

The flights did operate slightly late, although in the case of the outbound flight, despite the late start we still managed to arrive ...

...but your company and a Easyjet magazine to entertain you. A very strange magazine that seemed to advertise Northern Ireland as a prime tourist location on the basis that it has lots of people aged under 30 and lots of people fully employed. Because that's what everyone wants from their holiday: working under 30 year olds every where. I believe the tourist board probably just read and copied a slogan by the Thai tourism board and upped the age considerably. ...

The child appeared to be experiencing some sort of mental torture and would not shut up. Even her parents seemed about sick of her altogether. Indeed after we had landed and were leaving the airport I saw the father throw the girl in the bin and walk briskly on. London ...
