EASYJET customer review :  8 February 2010 : by Colin Renfrew (UK)

LGW-GLA-LGW. Booked Easyjet as BA were possibly taking strike action, again. Booked into the Number 1 lounge at Gatwick South which helped with a very early start to the outbound flight, and seems reasonable value for money. Food and drinks very good. Flights were ok in A319s, both delayed, but the overall feel is cheap - despite not being cheaper than BA for this short trip. I would prefer to book BA in the future, but if price is ok then Easyjet are still way ahead of Ryanair.

GVA-ORY. My first experience with easyJet and it was slightly better than I had expected. Flight arrived on-time despite some delay upon departure due to de-icing procedures. Aircraft was modern and spotlessly clean. Legroom was quite decent and similar to other traditional airlines. Captain kept us well-informed about the flight progress. Two major gripes however: Speedy Boarding was a huge rip-off as we were all bussed to the aircraft - no dedicated bus for Speedy Boarders. With only 40 pax on-board, cabin crew rushed the catering sales and then kept chatting loudly with each other during the entire flight: a rather unprofessional attitude! Beware that GVA-ORY is considered as a French domestic flight ie. you can check-in and drop luggage in the French sector only. The easyJet desks located in the Swiss sector do not deal with any Paris flights.

Having had our flights to Malta cancelled by BA we were left without much choice as to who we flew with. Easyjet are most certainly not my favourite airline and that has not changed. Both flights were far from full meaning like most people we had 3 seats for the 2 of us. Flight out was also on time from Gatwick landing early in Malta - flight back was about 1/2 hour late. My main problem is the free for all boarding although this was strictly enforced at Gatwick (unlike Stansted). It really does bring out the worst in people! The other problem is that although there is a size limit on hand luggage there is no weight limit - this means a lot of people take everything for a week's holiday in their cabin bag. If the flights had been full I do not know where all the hand luggage would have gone as the overhead lockers were full to overflowing particularly on the journey to Malta. We checked in hold luggage and just had a small bag as hand luggage. This is something that needs to be addressed by Easyjet as I can imagine a full flight in the peak season could be a nightmare.

Newcastle - Bristol. No complaints about the flight - on time leaving Newcastle, informative information from the flight deck during the flight and cabin crew very helpful. But why, oh, why do Easyjet persist with this free for all at embarkation? When our flight was called, those who had paid for priority booking were called first. Fair enough, you would have thought. They went through - sat on the bus waiting to be taken to the aircraft. Then the rest of us were called and we ended up on the same bus as the 'Priority' passengers. There was no advantage to them as the rest of us cheapskates scrambled on board. What a complete waste of money.

Newcastle - Malta. Once underway the service onboard was very pleasant with good cabin staff. The plane was modern and clean. I am a big fellow but found the seats comfortable in terms of leg room, but taking into consideration width, perhaps a flight of this length (3.5 hours) is a little uncomfortable and so had to stand from to time.

NCL-CDG. Second time I've taken this flight with easyJet. We didn't check bags (would have been £9 each way). Online check-in weeks in advance worked fine, and we breezed through security. Crew very friendly and efficient, and food/drinks not over the top pricing. For £79 return, with excellent flight timings, and great staff, I really don't know why anyone traveling to Paris would bother paying more for Air France!

Luton - Paris. The extras easyJet make you pay are reasonable. Their baggage and credit card charges are not extortionate like Ryanair, and one can check in and receive a boarding card at the airport at no extra cost. Boarding was efficient, flight 80% full. Cabin Crew polite and friendly, and not too many announcements. A31) clean and seats comfortable enough for a short flight. CDG terminal 2 is a bit of a dump though. EasyJet offer a very good value for money product.

EASYJET customer review :  24 January 2010 : by Penny Jackson (France)

I've used Easyjet a lot, usually between the UK and Geneva and on the whole I'm quite impressed. Their hidden charges seem to be one of the more reasonable of budget airlines, although I'm disappointed at the rising booking fees. The extras are just baggage and card booking (and optional things like insurance and speedy boarding), they do not unexpectedly sting you with large essentials like taxes and extortionate check-in fees, these are included in the fare you first see. The one time I've seen their customer "service" dealt with I was very disappointed. A friend's bag didn't make it and was promised it would arrive the next day and they'd call her, only her phone broke so they couldn't. There was no way of contacting Easyjet to inform them of this, we even tried creative solutions like contacting the airport management to see if they had any contact information. She ended up having to go to the airport in the hope her bag was there (luckily it was) when they were supposed to deliver it. I had flights cancelled due to bad weather recently and it could have been a lot worse but wasn't perfect. They arranged for a hotel but transport to and from the hotel was a bit hit or miss - the hotel had its own buses with limited places, not enough for the number of people needing to change flights. I don't know if the people who had to get taxis were ever reimbursed. Also due to unnecessary faff, people weren't put on an available replacement flight and it took a very long time before we were allowed out of the airport, by which time we were about to miss dinner at the hotel.

LPL-PMI-LPL. Disappointed that old boarding group A has been dropped but the new system seemed to work quite well at PMI for a full return flight, with the hand baggage dimensions checker stand being used to indicate where to queue for the 2 groups (Speedy Boarders and everyone else). Some passengers had to have their hand luggage put in the hold as the overhead lockers were full, partly because of the numbers of coats stuffed into them. Could not one of the cabin crew have requested that coats be tucked under seats to leave more room in the lockers for bags?

My son was due to travel Malaga to East Midlands - flight was cancelled and he was flown to Stansted, where he was told a coach would be waiting to take them to East Midlands, only to be told no coach, and to get a taxis and a refund would be given. I've tried to call easyjet which is a joke in itself - 10p a min to reach a call centre in Poland who can do nothing!

LGW-Innsbruck 24th December 2009 7am flight cancelled "due to staffing problems" (all later flights to Innsbruck took off) we were eventually advised by Easyjet representative to either go home and come back after Christmas, (I'm surprised she was not mugged) go the desk to try for an alternative flight, but added as there were none available so that was not a good option, or find our own way to our destination and Easyjet would refund our costs. This we did, taking a bus to Heathrow, flight to Munich and a train to Innsbruck. We submitted our claim on our return. Needless to say Easyjet "Customer Services" have today denied liability claiming the cancellation was beyond Easyjet's control, and are refusing to refund any more then the value of our cancelled flights. I am not surprised by the response but very disappointed, we frequently fly with Easyjet and would like to think we are a valued customer. Unfortunately I don't think such a thing exists.

LGW-SZG return. Overall, the flights themselves were very good and painless, particularly as the flight out had been the day after major disruption by snow, and even if it does strangely take them 20 minutes longer to get there than BA or Ryanair. The main issues were that the staff at North Terminal recommended dropping bags off the night before (flight was pre 0830h) so I made the trip to South Terminal with skis & suitcase only to find the entire check-in area unmanned - why couldn't this info have been relayed to save the trouble? Secondly, having charged for ski carriage, the skis were not on the flight and did not arrive in the resort until three days later, and trying to get any redress from EJ is almost impossible as they don't have a rep in SZG, no contact number and their website offers little/no information.

After long ago transferring my loyalty back to BA, schedules found me flying LTN - GLA with Easyjet. Just a laptop bag and checked in online. Horrendous experience. I felt like I was back at school and in trouble at that. LTN will not tell you a gate until the last minute, so you are left in the crowded shopping area wondering when that race will start. At the gate, you are shouted at and ushered through into a standing only waiting area for the scrum to start. Another 15 minutes with nowhere to sit. Onboard, I felt like all that was missing was for the FA to call us "boys and girls". Don't do this, don't do that, buy this and buy that. Fortunately, no real effort made to sell anything and the FA's all stood at the back of the plane bitching for most of the flight. Seat very cramped. I did not expect much, but was left disappointed. And the best thing? If I had gone two hours later with BA, it would have cost less! Low cost, not really anymore. Just a shame I would have missed my meeting.
