Wedding Forum - Anyone flown with EasyJet???...

i have a few times and what i can remember it is just the hold baggage you pay extra for. i wouldnt have a problem flying with them again xx

But other than that.... does what it says on the tin, no thrills airline x

Surprised me really. I thought most airlines included 20kg luggage but looking on Thomson even they charge seperate for hold luggage. Do easyjet charge any further taxes or fees? xx

The price you see on the front pageis never the final price!
Baggage both ways
Admin charge and or card charge.

i flew with them last may, but i wasnt the one who booked the holiday so i dont know about charges. i know a lot of airlines have changed their policies this last year so probably wouldnt apply to what i know anyway.
the actual flight itself was fine. a bit of a free for all at gatwick to get onto the plane lol no queues just bundle towards the desk lol but the flight itself was fine no problems there! i would fly with them again x

i wudnt fly easy jet or any cheap airline for ure weddin hun/! its too risky!! u dont wanna take risk wiv anything to do wiv ure weddin!!

Easy Jet have no more 'hidden extras' than any other airline these days. Taxes etc are included in the fare that you see and select on their website (Ryan Air add this on, it drives me mad), the only real extras are 'speedy boarding' (with Easy Jet you can't book seats so they're first come first served; by paying about £10 each way you get priority boarding so should be able to sit together no problem; however, I've never booked it, and I've always been able to sit with whoever I'm travelling with, just get to the gate asap after the flight is called), and they charge for baggage, as do airlines like Thomson, as you've found. Their hand baggage allowance is generous though, with no weight limit, so you can bring stuff in your hand luggage.

I would check with them if you can bring a dress separately if you need to as I'm not sure of their policy on this; however, they might be able to book you an extra piece of luggage to cover it, so ring them to find out.

I've flown with EasyJet a few times, as have my parents and friends, and actually I rate them; I find their customer service good, and they don't have hidden extras. They also handled last years volcanic ash situation really well in comparison to many other airlines/companies, like Ryan Air, British Airways, and Thomson; I wouldn't hesitate to book with them. Yes it's no frills, but most airlines are no frills these days; Thomas Cook for eg have recently removed all in-flight entertainment from flights shorter than 6 hours.

I've flown with British Airways, Thomson, Monarch, Thomas Cook,First Choice, Air France, Virgin, and EasyJet, and would rate the quality of EasyJet as the same as the others (bar Virgin which is superior, but their customer service is diabolical), but it's much cheaper so much better value for money

HTH

The only thing I would say is that if you have any one that is disabled then you need to advice them in advance as they can only fly so many people with limited mobility at a time. You can also book a lift to get them on and off the plane to either end and they make sure you all sit near each other then too.

We have flew with them a few times and found them to be fine. They were only short journeys tho, one only being to France with r little boy who we took to Disneyland last year for his second birthday. Had no problems really apart from staff making us wake him from lying on me and having to put him in his own seat to land which was a pain but I suppose it's the rules. He wasnt allowed his own seat on the way tho as he only turned 2 whilst we were in france.Would definatly fly with them again.

I used to work for them as cabin crew. They charge for baggage and speedy boarding and obviously food and drink on the plane

have flown with them once- last year when we went to spain. thought they were ok i would fly with them again x

I fly with them regularly I even if you have to pay for hold luggage it's not a lot and apart last year when there was the ash cloud I never needed refund and their service is OK but then again I have never flown with any other company than easyjet and jet2

iv flown with easyjet to amsterdam and spain before and had no problem whatsoever. no hidden charges, friendly staff, allocated seats. no meals on board but they have a buffet like trains do. i would fly with them again no problem. Ryanair on the other hand would big a massive no no to fly with again from 2 personal experiences with them.

No extra charges other than the baggage, but that's the same as many other airlines these days. Make sure you look carefully at the flights - in February, Easyjet were pretty much the only airline flying to Paphos (there are more operators in the summer) and other airlines like Thomson were simply selling tickets for the Easyjet flight. We're going Thomson in August because we got them on sale, otherwise we'd have used Easyjet again.

Don't bother with speedy boarding - it's a free for all when you get on the plane. OK you're at the front of the queue this end but all it means from Paphos is you get on the bus first - which is then filled up with the first people that haven't paid for speedy boarding!! Meals on board aren't particularly cheap, but you can take your own snacks and drinks bought marginally cheaper in the airport. When you first get on, if only two of you are going to sit on a row of three, take the window seat and aisle seat - someone is less likely to join you! And if they have to, one of you can move - it's worth a try to get the extra seat to stretch into! Oh and Paphos airport is very basic. The departures lounge fronts onto the airfield and the 'gates' are just different doors where the bus will stop! LOL

Save yourself the money and book with Easyjet - the only thing which someone else mentioned is to call them about putting your wedding dress in separately - although I'd be inclined to find something to carry it in at the right size and take it as your hand luggage. Things can go wrong whatever airline you fly with - just check what the rules are and be early, just the same as you would anyway. Good luck xx
