Hotel stayer,

A thought occurs to me. You say she normally walks with a stick, what about stairs? You don't say which airport in the UK but Easyjet often don't use airbridges for boarding and she will have to climb up the stairs (and if the lounge design assumes that the bridge would be used, she'll have to climb down stairs to the tarmac first).

Thanks for all your replies.. Yes she uses a stick but is fine doing stairs at at an ok rate as long as she has me to hold onto her (confidence thing) Sounds like I will just ask for SA for both of us (me as carer) at check in.

I've flown Easyjet on my own a number of times and have had no problems with them at all.

Trying to get an answer out of them on my above question has been impossible and totally frustrating..i appreciate its all done to a price but their "Customer Services Champions" are obviously working to a script..I was refeerred to their web site which doesn't answer my question (wouldn't have asked if it did would I?) ..The Girl in south africa finally E mailed me to tell me she couldn't give me an answer..

I politely requested that if she couldn't provide an answer then could she please refer it to her supervisor..and suprise suprise i haven't heard anything since..

Is it really that extraordinary for a carer to ask whether they can Have SA to assist an elderly lady on board who can walk but doesn't need a wheel chair ?? Easyjet obviously think so because its not on their "frequently asked questions"

Hotel stayer,

You Can Add Special Assistance (SA) Boarding As A Request Online Using The MyEasyJet.com

Hope This Is Of Some Help To You

Gower

Thanks Gower..much appreciated however if you log into the MyEasyjet site and see the options available you will see they all refer to individuals travelling alone requiring assistance/wheel chairs etc.

There is no reference to carers and (SA)

I think i'm just going to turn up at the check in desk and request SA for my mum with me helping her board the aircraft.

Hotel Stayer .. special assistance passengers and their carers are referred to under section 8 of Easyjet's Booking Regulations, and also via the separate link which Darren gave earlier.

David ...Thank you ever so much! .. Found it

Problem solved!

Hi,

Can someone tell me or direct me to Easyjet charges for booking by credit card please? Is it a percentage or so much each flight.

Thanks
Jean

Hi Jean ... I think this is the page you need:
http://www.easyjet.com/EN/Book/paymentoptions.html

David

JeanM,

All flight bookings with Easyjet incur a £1.95 booking fee apart from bookings made by Visa electron or Carte Bleue (domestic transactions); these are free. Bookings made by Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, American Express, UATP/Airplus incur a charge of 2.5% of the total transaction value (with a minimum charge of £3.50, whichever is greater).

EDIT: David just beat me to it!!!

Darren

Do you think Easy jet might go from Blackpool now that Ryanair have pulled out.

When will Easyjet bring out the winter 2009 from Alicante. We can get there on the 01/10/2009 but want to come home on the 30/10/2009.

Hi,

Thanks David and Darren for the info.

No chance!! With bases at Liverpool and Manchester, there's not enough market for them to open up BLK when they have established bases locally.

I am waiting for Easyjet to release their summer schedule from Gatwick. Their website tells me that these flights were due to go live today at midday and Easy sent me an email to remind me earlier this morning but as yet I am unable to book seats to Dalaman. When trying to book I get a pop-up box telling me that these seats are only available until 31st October 2008. Has anyone else booked Gatwick summer flights to anywhere yet?

I am a bit concerned as this was a route they had to offer last year when they took over GB Airways and I am wondering now if they have dropped this route for summer 09?

Cazz

Cazz ... the timetable section of the website does show a Gatwick/Dalaman service for Summer 2009, so perhaps it has just not been released for sale yet.

David

That's what I'm hoping David!

Just tried a couple of other Summer 2009 routes Cazz, such as Gatwick/Edinburgh, and they don't appear to have been loaded or released yet either.

David

Thanks for your help, David. I managed to book the 3 seats on the July dates I wanted for 16 nights to Dalaman totalling £428. Thomas Cook are currently around £1100.00 for similar flight times!

I checked Easyjet again a few minutes ago and the seats I purchased are now £867 so they've more than doubled in the last 3 hours. It certainly seems to pay to book with Easyjet the moment the seats are released!

Cazz

That's great Cazz, well done !
