This is a complete rip-off!
 |
This is a complete rip-off! Never again will I pay for this service which was never provided
for us. We paid an extra £53 to be able to be the first on the plane as we were travelling
with a child, and did not want to risk not sitting together. We expected priority in the bus
to the plane and also the first to go in. From Gatwick Airport we were called first in the
bus, but straight after everybody else was called in, and we were literally squeezed to one
side - not having the chance to be able to get off the bus first and go in the plane before
anybody else did. You'd think that you would have priority when you paid this extra, but the
fact is, they are stealing your money and not providing this service.

I wish I had seen this site before I booked this (dis)service
|
Like several previous victims, the Bristol bus driver pushed all the SB's to the back door
then opened the front door on arrival at the 'plane. Complaints were met with a resigned
"sorry" from the driver. I wish I had seen this site before I booked this (dis)service. I can
see from previous correspondents it will be a useless and frustrating waste of my time to get
a refund. At the Rome end a separate bus was provided for SB's - this worked well. I shan't
book SB again - in fact I'd like not to use Easyjet (or Ryanair) but if Bristol is your
nearest airport one has little choice.

a rip-off

Paid for speedy boarding at Bristol and was loaded onto a bus along with everyone else. Rip-
off.

service is worth the money
|
CPH/STN/CPH. I bought SpeedyBoarder out, and SpeedyBoarder Plus back. This addition of SB &
SB+ was made separately, as an afterthought. I think as a result when I checked in at CPH, the
boarding card was marked 'B'; the-last-to-board group. I only noticed this error at the gate.
However, on explaining the error I was upgraded to SB. So it is wise to check your boarding
card at check-in. On the return journey a dedicated check-in desk at Stansted for SB+ was so
speedy; only one passenger ahead of me, and I checked in slighty before the 2 hour rule. First
on the plane, this service is worth the money.

pay for it if you are departing from Madrid
|
MAD-RAK. I would definitely pay for it if you are departing from Madrid. At the gate they
announced boarding and help up signs for two queues - one for SB and one for the rest. SB went
first and we were the first ones on the plane.

the £20 was wasted money and would not pay again
|
I purchased speedy boarding for the first time for a trip from Sofia to Gatwick to ensure my
wife and I sat together, no announcement was made so we had to queue with everyone else at it
happened we did manage to get a seat together but I feel the £20 was wasted money and would
not pay again. On that note it is almost impossible to contact EasyJet for an explanation and
having used them many times I would now try my best to find an alternate airline.

worth the money, provided buses aren't used
|
Straight up to the dedicated check-in desk at EDI, checked in, bags dropped and on our way to
security less than four minutes after walking into the terminal. Boarding priority enforced
and got the seats we wanted. We've used Speedy Boarding with success at GLA and SXF where
there is even a separate seating area for speedy boarders. It's worth the money provided buses
aren't used. We didn't come back directly from MUC on this trip but I know buses are used
there so we might not have had such a good experience if we had done so.

ill managed and daylight robbery
|
Luton to Barcelona and back with Speedy boarding. Going out, speedy boarding worked
perfectly. My husband has great difficulty walking, hence the speedy boarding option. Myself
and two other passengers got the seats we wanted fine! Coming back it was bedlam. We made
sure we got to the departure lounge in plenty of time and easily got in the SB queue with
about six others. Then they changed the gate number, All hell broke loose, people at the
front of the queue rushed past us to overtake the people who had been at the back nearly
knocking us over. We got to the new gate, no seperate queues, had to ask about the speedy
boarding, was told we would be called first. They did call us first, to get on a bus! Telling
us to stay on the right side of the bus. This was impossible as more and more people were
herded onto the bus pushing us further down and over to the left side. When the bus stopped at
the plane the doors opened and everyone rushed for the stairs, leaving me and my husband
behind. I did manage to push past people and get two seats together, but this sort of
behaviour is totally alien to me. The most annoying thing was, they had three bus loads to get
the passengers on. The first two were full and the last carried one person. Why couldn't they
have bussed out the speedy boarders first? I believe the service to be totally ill managed and
daylight robbery. Its a shame because I the think more people would use it if it was fair and
managed properly, I definitely wont as it stands at the moment.

Well worth the money

Well worth the money. Arrived at London Gatwick at 04:10 and used the speedy boarding plus
desk, bypassing a huge line of people. Got onto the aircraft fast and managed to get Row 3. I
would pay for this again.

This practice is totally fraudulent and unacceptable!
|
Couldn't agree more with other travelers. Speedy Boarding was total 'rip off.' We purchased it
for our family of 4 from Venice Marco Polo to East Midlands at a cost of £24. Despite giving
Check in girl the paperwork, she didn't take any notice of it and so gave us tickets like
others. After passing through to departure lounge we queued with everyone else until it was
announced that boarding would be according to groups called. When 'Speedy Boarding' was
announced we made our way to the front but were turned back by the ground stewardess who was
most rude and not at all interested even when I asked her to explain what we had paid for. The
attitude of the staff was disgraceful. We were loaded onto buses but these were randomly
filled and the last bus to be filled went out first so even those with 'Speedy Boarding Plus'
were not first to the plane to choose their seats. Luckily the passengers were tolerant and
accepted the situation. This practice is totally fraudulent and unacceptable!

a total rip off!
|
Total rip off. Paid for Speedy Boarding for my family of 4 flying from Paris to Luton, but no
speedy boarding lane was available on boarding the aircraft and we were therefore unable to
sit together. Have since contacted Easyjet to ask for a refund of the speedy boarding fee;
they have refused, saying it is not their policy to refund money. They referred me to their
terms and conditions but nowhere in there does it say that they are entitled to charge me for
a service they do not subsequently provide. I queried this and am now being ignored by their
customer service dept. Have neither the time nor inclination to take them to court, so I
guess they've won.

This paying for speedy boarding is ridiculous!
|
Awful! I purchased speedy boarding for a flight form Amsterdam Schipol to Geneva. I was told
at check-in that there would be separate lines at the gate for the different boarding
categories. I went to the gate immediately after it was posted and there were not any
separations! It was a mix of everyone. I squeezed passed people (hey, I paid to get on early!)
and got on the plane and got the exit row seat I wanted but only because I pushed through.
This paying for speedy boarding is ridiculous! I wonder if they can be sued for false
advertising?

a complete rip-off and waste of money at Bristol
|
Total agreement with E Jones comments (13 June). We paid for 4 people on speedy boarding service, and
were squeezed into corner of a bus and near the end to get onto the plane! This is Easyjet total rip-off and a waste of
your hard earned money at Bristol .

removing a couple of rows of seats and giving everyone decent leg room
|
It seems to me that most of the problems described come from people desperately wanting the
extra legroom seats. Surely this could all be solved by Easyjet charging everyone an extra £5
and then removing a couple of rows of seats and giving everyone decent leg room. (Or is that too obvious?)

never, never pay for this at Bristol Airport
|
Used Speedy Boarding STN-BFS-STN and worked great both ways. Only problem when we landed at
STN, the front door was opened then promptly closed, no explanation given although it was
obvious to those of us at the front there was a problem with the stairway. Everyone then had
to use the rear exit to leave the aircraft.

never, never pay for this at Bristol Airport
|
Travelled with easyjet three times from Bristol in past 6 months. Each time paid for Speedy Boarding - each time
bussed out to aircraft. Staff at boarding gate are (to put it politely) dumb and disinterested. End result on each of
these departures where there approx 6 other speedy boarders was that we were about middle of the plane to board. Easyjet think
they can get away with this fraudulent failure to provide any paid-for service by placing a small rider comment on the
page where you book (you might not always be first onto plane etc. It's a scam and what's worse is that easyJet know it
- and make no effort
(or their lazy handling staff at bristol) to change it.

my advice is don't pay for this service
|
Liverpool to Barcelona was well organised and boarding went as I would expect. Barcelona to
Liverpool a complete joke and we were bussed out to the aircraft. I emailed to complain and
got what was a standard reply to my complaint - as none of my questions were answered. My
advice is don't pay for this service congregate round the departure gate, refuse to move and
you will get on first, as it seems to work as well.

can be hit and miss but always worked for me so far
|
LGW-TLS-LGW Used easyJet Plus which includes speedy boarding and express check in which is a
god-send at Gatwick where the normal queues are horrendous. Boarded first, got a great seat
and same on the way back. I think for any flight where you're bussed to the aircraft it can
be a bit hit and miss, but always worked for me so far!

I got the exit row seats I wanted
|
I have used speedy boarding several times and have found it great each time. On our return
from Rome they used buses to board us, and speedy boarders and special assistance passengers
all boarded onto a bus and taken out to the plane first, I got the exit row seats I wanted.

once on the bus it's every man for themselves
|
I fly regularly to Faro, Portugal. The latest was on the 26 April returning on the 5 May to
and from Luton. I think easyJet should take a hard look at "speedy boarding " procedures. It
seems incredible that we paid for two people both ways and yet passengers who had not carried
SB boarding cards can board before we did - by merely blocking the bus exit with their hand
luggage and having the pick of the seats. You are invited to board the bus first but that's
your lot. Once on the bus it's every man for themselves. If you are asking SB passengers to
board the bus first then there should be some barrier to allow them to exit first.
