Put your hands in the air…

RE: Put your hands in the air…

I have only flown with easyjet to nice and have to say that the only problem was Liverpool Airport (oops sorry John Lennon Airport) The crew, aircraft and flight was fab, I would fly with them again but not from Liverpool! And what about the orange uniforms!!!!! Is it me or do the male cabin crew seem to have orange faces to match the shirts?

Hope u all had a great xmas. I did I got offered a position as cabincrew with MyTravel Airways after losing my job with crossair. Yey:+

RE: Put your hands in the air…

If you assign seats you have to show people to their seats. EasyJet let people choose their seats while crew make preps for take off and help people with problems or with babies.

If you think about it, their is always que when you entering, say a BA flight. This is because the crew show you to your seat rather than just let you pick your own seat

If you look at the prices, that is why Go are a bit more expenisve for very similar routes compared to easyJet.

Why does assigning seats cause 20mins extra on the ground?

I couldn’t agree more, I thoroughly enjoyed the programme and seeing things go wrong time after time, week after week, is exactly what television audiences want to see! My point was that this didn’t do EasyJet any favours – it didn’t make ME want to fly with them.

But I can accept that mine is probably a false perception, and they may well be very good. They’re certainly very brave to wash their dirty linnen in front of 5 million+ potential custommers.

Always IMHO,
John.

I think easyJet are great personally.

The program ‘Airline’, would you rather watch a porgram where every thing was normal for 30mins or a nice story about somehting going worng. I would say the latter and so do the 5 million odd people who watch the program!

From the pic in the link above, it seems that BAA will be biased and let BA hog the whole thing. But this Terminal was devloped as for use with A380, but i tought BA hadn’t bought any yet?

RE: Put your hands in the air…

easyjet are OK, I’ve only flown with them once but there was no problems, apart from a hour delay on the return which meant we missed the first half of the England V Albania match 🙁

The only problem I have with them is that they don’t assign seats. It surely can’t cost anything to give you seats at check-in and try to get your party seated together for the flight. It was just a brawl for the gate when the flight was annonced and I wasn’t impressed at
all.
Airlines like easyjet are always going to be popular for short haul destinations as it doesn’t really matter who you fly with on such short flights.

The only way terminal 5 will affect me is that I’ll probably see more aircraft when I go to Heathrow for a day, a good thing of course.
I hear that its going to be used mainly by BA. Why do they always get the new terminals? They moved in to T4 as soon as it opened and now they’re getting this other brand new terminal, bit unfair on the rest of the airlines using the airport really.

RE: Put your hands in the air…

Hands firmly by my side.

Never flown EastJet, although my step daughter had a pretty poor “Customer Service” experience on a delyaed Liverpool – Amsterdam Service last year. I don’t think the “Airline” TV programme helped their image, I ended up feeling sorry for their staff – but it made me want to fly with other carriers.

To be fair to EasyJet, some of their customers do seem to expect normal facilities (like the ability to transfer to another airline at no additional cost)for their discount price.

I support the continued development of my local airport (Manchester), however I don’t believe that T5 will have any impact in that direction – so I’m not overly concerned.

Always imho,
John.

RE: Put your hands in the air…

EASYJET is great. I was flying to LPL with my girlfriend and she hates flying so she was quiet but scared. It was the only airline which one flight attendantant came to her to ask if she was OK. Great thing.
