jayl,

It seems only speeding boarding plus is available at MAN and AGP.

Darren

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 would just to like to point out that is what I did, I sat down. Incase you are trying to say I stood round not letting anyone else board.

I wasn't particularly meaning you - but all the others who use Easyjet and think that it is ok to be allocated the last boarding group but then stand at the gate making it nearly impossible for others to get through. If people want to board first then they should either pay for Speedy boarding or check in a bit earlier.

The last time we flew Easyjet from Stansted we literally had to push our way through the many who claimed to be deaf and not understand that speedy boarders, those with small children and group A come before group B. Brits at their most worst in my opinion.

Easyjet say it is quicker for boarding to not allocate seat numbers. I disagree - we have just flown BA and the boarding was orderly and actually much quicker then Easyjet because everyone knows where they are sitting.

Pippa

I know what you mean. We flew from from manchester. There were some spanish woman stood right by the gate. The woman boarding said everyone must be seated before she would start.

Friends of ours flew Stansted to Glasgow return recently and they said that the boarding was much better organised at Glasgow. Stansted does unfortunately have a bad reputation for absolute chaos at the gate.

We found that at Valencia because they use an airbridge with only one way onto the plane it was much more orderly. None of this survival of the fittest and running across the tarmac to the steps!

Salford _ Steve - In defence of Stansted I will say that when OH was on crutches, he was made a priority from start to finish. He was whisked through security in double quick time - the only problem was it was only him - I was left behind. He was seated at the bar pint in hand by the time I caught up with him I do think different airports apply different rules with easy Jet. It would be much easier if it was all the same.

I have flown from Palma where boarding was operated as it should be Speedy boarders, very small children with their parents, grand parents and those who try it on, invalids and their many carers. then those who have checked in early in group "A" followed by group"B". As a couple we do not hurry but board when our group is called, once on the plane we have always found seats together, but recently when boarding at Madrid we sat on the first two available seats, one with glasses and paper on to ensure that no one sat on it, I asked the lady to remove them so that I could sit there which caused an atmosphere, Her partner or what saying are you alright darling she replied well I was, who do these people think they are. Easy Jet is a bus service of the sky offering excellent value for money if you fly with B.A. you will get what you pay for at a cost, sometimes BA may be comparable, but accept Easy Jet for what they are. in my opinion very good at least for me.

Hello, can anyone tell me if Easyjet Manchester to Malaga and Malaga to Manchester requires a bus to the plane? Thanks

It depends whether the aircraft gets parked on a stand with a jetway (walkway, whatever you want to call it;)). If it is no bus. If it's not then you will need a bus. I can't speak for Malaga but chances are you will not need a bus at MAN

Does anyone know how much hand luggage you can take in weight? It gives the dimensions of the bag but I couldn't see anywhere how much it can weigh

As long as your belongings can fit in those measurements there is no weight limit, however you must be able to lift it unaided in to the overhead locker.

Dave

Excellent

According to this article Easyjet has been given permission to fly to Tunisia and should be operating from this summer. Do any of the experts have any further rinformation on this? I am leaving the booking of my autumn holiday until I know what's happening.

Does anybody know when the Bristol to Pafos flights are supposed to be starting with easyjet? i've been looking everywhere for my daughter to fly back to cyprus (larnaca) around late march/early april and i can't find nothing! I know flights don't usually start this early but i'd like to know how other people manage to do it!

thanks for any info

CourtneeLouise, you might like to look at various German airlines such as Air Berlin, Tuifly, HapagLloyd (if they haven't been bought out) Germanwings to see if they fly to Paphos from Germany and thus book a point to point ticket from the UK to their German airports and fly on with them. These are all Low Cost Carriers, along the lines of EZY, but your choice of final destination is likely to be wider than flying in one hop from the UK. You could also look at Aegean Airlines who fly from London Stansted and see if you can travel via Athens to Paphos ........ their product is excellent and the fares reasonable.

Alternatively, turn the problem on its head, so to speak and look at Paphos' Airport website. This should give you ideas of which destinations are served by airlines using Paphos, and also give you the names of the airlines ............... then investigate a hop from the UK to the airports in Europe who have services to Paphos via these airline's European hubs .........

What is based at Manchester this summer and what will they use on TFS route.

Alsacienne,
thankyou for that.. i'll have a look at that now. only thing with connection flights/not flying from bristol is that my daughter is only 13 and she knows exactly what shes doing from bristol-larnaca or bristol-paphos. But we can see! always have hope!
Thankyou very much.

PS please see my reply to your post on the Jet2.com thread.

Can anyone tell me why flight prices increase when you make a booking for morethan one person. It appear to increase with each extra person - £60 for 1, £65 for 2, £72.19 for 4. I can understand it if the airline allocates seats, more difficult to get 4 seats together but this is not the norm for easyjet. Therefore it is families and groups that ends up paying more
