jayl,
If you are checking-in a bag, you can't use online check-in so you'll have to go to the check-in desk in the usual way. I've never noticed too much of a scrum at Manchester (T3).

Hi
I am flying to Sharm from LGW on 14th May 2009. Can you tell me what aircraft I will be on. Will it be an A321?
Thanks

markyboy1983,
Please refer to your post over on the What Aircraft? thread. Can you please only post on one of the threads, just avoids duplication (we read them all!!). It will indeed by an ex-GB A321-200.

I must point out Manchester are quite strict with the boarding. The women told everyone to be seated, once they were seated she would start boarding. Which is good.

Well I have just booked flights to Bodrum with Easy Jet. Does anyone have experience of travelling with young children? Do they allow passengers on first like other airlines or do you have to bundle on with everyone else?
I'm sure we will manage somehow, I mean they aren't going to the little ones sit on their own, but I would rather we could sit together somewhere on the plane.

Thanks, we have speedy booking so hopefully we should be ok then.
Gower is exactly right, but and it is a very big but, make sure you are at the gate very quickly after the first (usually silent) call otherwise you can easily miss the priority boarding. It's even worth trying to work out where your plane is before the call and getting to the gate before the scrum.

In my experience if you're travelling with young children you don't need speedy boarding as you're priority anyway.
Yes people did try to push in etc but the staff told them to stand back and let the people with children through first and we had no problems at all.

Must say I like it at Malaga - when I use EZY out of that airport I think the staff are great...at least in my experience - saying things like...."dont you understand English" - "is my english better than yours even though I am Spanish" - we said "stay seated until you are called forward".

It is a pity that things are not better organised at Stansted - boarding is a nightmare there.

I could be eating my words now as I have noticed that the childrens priority boarding is now only up to age five.
I travelled a couple of years ago and could have sworn that the cut off then was age eight for children as I commented about having a few years without worrying about boarding the children.
Looked at speedy boarding and am not going to waste £52 when the priority is never a guarantee so will have to scrum it with the rest

That's what we did in December flying to Alicante. It was around 6am, there were mostly flybe planes parked up and 2 easyjet planes, so I put my money on the one with the lights on as the other was in darkness and I just waited at the gate, when our group which was A we went straight on and we got front seats which are legroom seats.
Steve
It is those who insist on standing and queuing at the gate rather than sitting and waiting for boarding that cause the most problems especially when they are not in the first boarding group. Why can't people just wait patiently for each group to be called and board in an orderly fashion.
I won't fly Easyjet unless absolutely necessary as Stansted is really dreadful for the boarding procedure. The first time I flew with them I was using crutches - they came in very useful for making my way through the scrum at the gate.

I wouldn't bother with speedy boarding either, especially if a bus takes you to the plane. You'll just be left sitting on the bus until its full and can move off. You won't get on the plane any quicker.

I have heard that they tell the speedy boarders to stand near a specific door on the bus, that door is then opened ahead of the other doors allowing those who have paid to board the plane first.
Anyone have any knowledge of this?
yes that is correct, we always use speedy boarding plus, this gets you through check in without queing and board the plane 1 st, with regard to the buses we always are put on the bus first next to the front doors which are opened first so we can get on the plane first. when it's busy i think it is worth the exta cost as it takes out any of the hassle which you don't want at the start of your break.
Problem is quite often it doesnt work, the last flight out of Bristol I was on, speedy boarders were at the front of the bus, but the back doors were opened first. I wouldnt take the risk myself for the money it costs.
Hi all,
This might at a silly question but is speedy broading the same as speedy broading plus?. Also is most EZ planes seats 3-3. 1st time flying with them going to Manchester to Malaga

jayl,
The differences between Speedy Boarding and Speedy Boarding Plus are on Easyjets website. The difference is the addition of a dedicated check-in desk at selected airports with plus. EZY use an all narrow-bodied twin jet fleet consisting of Airbus A319 / A320 / A321 and Boeing 737-700. All these are configured 3-3.
