Has anyone flown with Easy Jet?

[Caution]

There's nothing wrong with them. If you're under 16 you'll get to the front of the queue, but if you're going on a bus from the airport to the plane it's pointless as everyone runs off it to the plane. I've flown with them twice and never had a problem with anything or getting a seat with the person I'm with. But I'm flying with BA soon, I'll see if I notice a difference. :L

im flying with easyjet at start of September and tbh I don't care how the service is on the plane, aslong as I get a window seat and it gets you there and back then I'm happy

Thanks for the replies. I have it all sorted, gonna buy a portable battery charger for my iPhone and download a few films onto it for the plane. I'm guessing they will come down the aisle selling (hot) drinks/snacks because even though it is a budget airline they are still going to make more money from selling things so I don't see why not. If I find out they don't sell any beverages then I guess I will just have to buy a load of crap to snack out on while on the plane.

There not bad at all, we fly with them most of the time because we got a house in spain. So its just easy and cheap, there leg room is about average. They got no Tv's but surely you can make your own fun.

just think a budget airline is like a coach and you'll be fine. get a few snacks from WHSmith in the waiting lounge and youre set. AND GET TO THE GATE EARLY, VERY VERY EARLY, so you are at the front of the queue. And if you got to go on a bus to the aeroplane, STAND next to the doors so it's easiest for you to get on the plane, pick your seat and just relax whilst everyone stresses.

Going on holiday in 4 days and my mum has chosen to fly with Easy Jet with it being a short flight (Athens) but I always thought of Easy Jet as being a budget airline.. Is it going to be really cramped and no tv's in the back of the seat in front of you? Then really crappy meals (if any with it being a short flight) and poor service? Not really too happy as flying is one of my favourite parts of going on holiday. :S

To be honest it sounds like you're stuck up. I've never been on a plane with TV's in the back of the seat infront of me, and I've been on around 30 flights. Non long haul though, and I believe that's where they are.

Easyjet is a budget airline for a reason. You'll be lucky to get TV's at all.

What do you mean "the best seats" anyway? A seat is a seat.

I don't think he's stuck up, just curious about what to expect. I admit, when we see EasyJet we also think cheap, crap airlines but it really isn't so bad. Yes, TVs are on long haul flights.

The "best seats" could refer to seats at the front of the cabin (more legroom) or at the back (where you can recline your chair further). Some in the middle also have more legroom for window exits. You have to select your own seats while there, so you need to make sure you're sat with your family, hence best seats

I couldn't disagree more, I am not being stuck up at all. When travelling long distances I like to be comfortable and entertained, besides for me the holiday starts when I get on the plane because I love flying. A TV in the back of the chair is great, it makes the time fly (lol ) as well as keeping you entertained, a good amount of leg room and a nice comfy seat to go with that is great and not really a lot to ask for.

So anyway I have returned from holiday and we will not be flying with EasyJet again. On the way home we paid for speedy boarding so we could get on the flight first and choose seats together. Some idiots that had arrived at the gate late got on the plane and wanted 2 seats next to each over. They could of chosen around 4 or 5 other groups of people to split up but they chose us (me and my family) which meant that my dad had to sit on his own with 2 strangers. When the couple asked the air stewardess to make us move my dad said could they not choose some other people as we had paid extra so we could choose these seats but the fat ***** didn't want to know. I was so bored just sat there, got fed up of listening to music after an hour and had read my top gear magazine within 20 mins so was just sat there cramped with my legs diagonally (I'm tall) for the whole flight. The seats were not too bad but certainly not as comfy as the better airlines, also there was a guy behind me that was also very cramped so had to have his knees pushed into the back of my chair, every so often he'd attempt to stretch his legs which was almost as annoying as having a child sat behind you kicking the chair but I can't complain as the person in front of me would of been in the same position

I've flown with Easyjet loads of times as I go to Spain quite a lot and have never really found it to cramped. The only trouble my family had is you don't get to book your seats meaning you pick where you sit when you get on the plane.. We got around this once by paying extra for 'speedy boarding' meaning we were first to board.

This sounded great to begin with but only resulted in further stress when my mum nearly had a row with a chavy family because they wanted to get on first with their ten kids and didn't think there was any difference between priority and speedy boarding lol...

yeah this sounds like the same sort of issues we had with speedy boarding.. which is why the following year we made sure we flew with Monarch as they book your seats at check in so there are no arguements.

I wouldn't really say wanting a tv is stuck up on Virgin Atlantic I've been lucky enough to travel in all 3 cabins on different journeys and can confirm it doesn't matter what class your in economy, priemum economy or Business class you get a telly.

Traveled with easyJet. No point going on it if you going with family or large group of people. I do recommended it for couples due to it being really cheap and a lot easier due to only two seats are needed next to eachever.
