easyJet customer reviews

“Thought the seat width and legroom was actually quite good, better than some charter companies used previously”
“Flew out on a new A320 which had the new thin seats which proved to be very comfortable even on a 3.5 hour flight”
“Speedy Boarding ticket row 1. The boarding process was well organized – SB ticket holders first on bus and first off to enter aircraft at remote stand in Geneva”
