Summer flights from Manchester are now available through Flightline.co.uk for anyone like me who can't bear to wait another day. Booked my Corfu flights last night!

Also now available through Travel Republic. Just got 4 return flights to Dalaman including checked luggage for £440. Can't argue with that. Just need the e-mail confirmation now and I'll be happy!

With the departure of Ryanair from Basel/Mulhouse on 2 December, Easyjet plan to open more routes to consolidate their base at BSL, and will deploy another aircraft there as its 'home base' in early 2010. These new routes will be announced from mid-December.

I have a few EJ flights coming up and printing off the boarding passes (hand luggage only), some say boarding group 2 and some group A.

I see on their website they now do the following boarding...

Group 1 Speedy Boarding or Speedy Boarding Plus
Group SA special assistance and families
Group 2 Everyone else scrambling for seats ;)

So where does group A come into it now :think

There is nothing on our confirmation stating what group - are you saying that the earlier we check-in, the earlier we board? Hope so, as I like to check in as soon as the desks open ;)

No Shirley as the boarding cards aren't neccessarily given out in the order that Gower states, although that is the order in which boarding happens. We have been in the 1st few at check in & been given a "B" boarding card. There is no seat allocation numbers though, similar to other budget airlines. If you have to have a bus out to the plane of course - it doesn't really matter if you're speedy boarding or not, all you'll do is sit on the bus until its full and ready to leave.

I have flown with easy jet before and boarded just as you say Helen but given Gower's post I thought things may have recently changed.

That could be because all the A cards had been taken by those using the on-line check in before your flight as you would not know how many of these there were.

It has been every time I have flown with easy jet (twice a year) but then I don't think as many people use on-line check in down in Bristol. It is often as Helen says the case that even if I have turned up within the first 20 I can sometimes get a B card.

Have you thought about adding speedy boarding to your booking, means there is no need to be at the check in desks really early, and you are in the first group to be called for boarding

many thanks again, 5mins on the phone and ive got £29.98 credit for the next 6 months to spend


right got a code and credit to use, and im trying to book a flight, but cant see how to apply my credit?

tried entering the details in the promo code box, but not recognised as expected?

Anyone used credit from another booked flight on a new flight?

If so how do you do it and where, ive got as far as step 5 checkout and dont want to click BOOK NOW as i guess it will confirm without deducting my £29.98

cheers

Sometimes everybody's transported to the plane by bus which means that speedy boarding counts for nothing - it's first off the bus and up the stairs :(

We will be going from Bristol so I'm going to take my chances. There are only 2 of us so hopefully we'll get 2 seats together - not fussed whereabouts on the plane.

Hi Fil .. I have never used one of those credits, so I don't know whether you have to manually apply it, or if it is automatically applied by Easyjet. I assume that you have logged on to 'My Easyjet' using the same email address and password as on the previous booking which earned the credit, and nothing is showing there ?

While you wait for some feedback here from someone with experience of these credits, it may be worth asking Easyjet ... click here for contact page.

the only way to retrieve your credit file(as they call it ) is by telephone ; 0871 244 2366. i have had cause to use it quite a lot recently as i have caught them out with their pricing, at the moment i have £500 pounds worth of credits tied up, i have booked flights with these credits for next year from East Midlands airport where they say operations will cease on 31/12/2009. they say they will offer an alternative airport or a full refund, but they can't say that a full refund will include the credits only the cash differences, i assume they will then re-insate the credits for me to use again as they have had my money originally for these overpricings. So i am not best pleased at present , waiting impatiently for the press release which should be out 3/12/2009.

sorry, i also forgot to mention you are unable to view or amend these type of bookings in the normal web page "manage bookings" as they do not exist on the web. !!

If i phone up to book it they charge £60 on top, ( for 4 people ) i was lead to belive, im sure i read it on there site? And i guess the number for phone bookings is a 0845 style number too that costs?

And thanks again David ive sent them the question, i think ( its such a poor confusing system ) as it now wants me to create an acount? which i allready have? so have again!

Fil, use the 0871 244 2366 tel number, there is no charge, tell them you wish to book a flight using your credie file, this should have a reference number beginning CX, they will then tell you what you have booked and ask if you wish to continue if so they will then e mail you your new booking.

So its just a case of calling that number, giving them my CX number, then still on the phone book my new flight, giving them all the names, details etc

use the 0871 244 2366 tel number, there is no charge


i take it you mean no charge in booking not phoning that number, as i dont have a land line only a mobile so could be costly!
