Hello

We have flights booked In June to go to Dalaman, we have have not booked speedy boarding, I am now thinking that maybe I should have booked it.

If I was to book now, does anyone know if they will charge me additional booking fees, cant seem to find anything on the website.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I have done this recently, & Im sure you only pay the credit card fee once (when you first book) , if that is what you mean.

The more I think about, I'm sure I only paid the speedy boarding fee when I logged in again to book it.

I'm sure we've added speedy boarding to flights before after they've been booked and just paid the extra cost for the speedy boarding. There were no 'amendment charges' or similar but I think there was a charge for using a credit card.

SAK 46,

You can log into my easyjet and make the changes, it will then give you a price on how much it costs for the changes you have made. You can then either pay the fees, or just log out without making the change.

With reference to earlier posts about speedy boarding, I have found more often than not, they get to queue first, then on the bus, but as already said, everyone else is then allowed on the bus so you dont gain much at all. I have seen this quite regularly ay Bristol and Glasgow, at Rome Leonardo De Vinci airport (yes I got diverted because of the Ryanair jet issue) they sent a bus ahead with just the speedy boarders on, it was handled very well.

I dont use speedy boarding as we fly as a couple and dont mind not sitting together.

catherinene,

Easyjet don't allocate seating like most other airlines. You just board the aircraft and find a seat. As long as you are with your friends when you board, I'm sure you'll find some seats together.

Be prepared for the usual Easyjet scramble and crowding round the gate area!!

This does depend on the airport you are flying from and how strict the staff are. In my experience Stansted is not too good at implementing the boarding order.

Has anyone flown Easy Jet to Corfu? What is it like?

I have only been on Easy Jet once and it was a long time ago but we are considering flying to Corfu with them. They are quite a bit cheaper but we have two young children so I don't want to end up in a huge free for all fight to get on the plane

If anyone has experience of travelling to Corfu with Easy jet, particularly in August can you please let me know.

Thanks

Kedi Yavrusu,

For the money, EZY are a good no frills airline. You get on, enjoy the ride then get off again! It doesn't really matter where you are flying to, you know what to expect with EZY. You always get the scrum at the gate as everyone rushes to get on, that's one of the negatives. You can book speedy boarding to minimise the crush, but it doesn't always work!

That's what I am worried bout, I don't want my little ones pushed over in the fight to get on the plane :yikes . Is it really that bad?? I wuld rather pay a bit more and not have to worry about it if it's really bad.

Kedi Yavrusu,

It depends where you are flying from, but it can be bedlam at times as everyone squashes to get through the gate in the rush for a window seat! It's not always like that and not exclusive to EZY, but it does happen.

I booked flights to Sharm el sheikh last July for husband and myself, including speedy boarding. We are unable to use the flights now as My husband cant take the time off. (you gotta love this credit crunch). I know I cant get a refund on the flights, what about the taxes? any pointers to an answer will be gratefully received.

Darren, we would be flying from Gatwick in August. I think I may book with a different airline, I wouldn't mind if it was just me and my husband but with children I would hate for it to end up in tears before we even got on the plane.

Kedi - I've never flown to Corfu, but have flown many times with Easyjet without any problems. I do think it depends on which airport you fly from. The usual procedure is people with children first, then those with boarding cards A, B C etc next. What we've found is that sometimes, those with children are sitting on the bus that takes you to the plane, waiting for others. This means that your prioriiy boarding doesn't really count. I must stress however that we have had no problems from Bristol Or Luton airport.

Hello,
1st time with Easyjet. Got my confirmation printout. Booked one hold bag. Do we check-in as normal at airport? or do I print-out broading passes?. Also flying from Manchester what are they like managing the rush to get onto the plane. Not sure to book priority broading?
