Thanks very much. My husband booked a flight because he's walking from the west coast of Scotland to the east coast which is with the TGO Challenge around 200 miles then discovered his passport has run out!

Hi all,

If anyone still has any issues with Easyjet here is a number for you 08706 000 000 I have just rung to get a flight confirmed, added my API & it was all all done in minutes. I have booked with lowcostholidays so had to ring Easyjet to add some bits. Call was answered in 3 minutes & the lady was extremely helpful.

It really depends on several factors - are you flying in a really busy period, how many of you are there and how upset would you be if you had to sit separately, have you got any children with you, where are you flying from etc?

Speedy boarders are called first, then people with kids and those needing special assistance, then everyone else in one go.

We never book speedy boarding as we only do fairly short flights and wouldn't mind being separated! Also, we never go in peak periods and we fly from Gatwick, where it seems from reading this forum that the boarding rules are followed a bit more strictly than in some other airports. We nearly always get 3 seats for the 2 of us. But you are taking quite a long flight so you may feel differently.

Hope this helps a bit but if you can post a few more details other people may be able to be more specific. :wave

hi Botty,

We take SB on 4hr+ flights just because we like to get a chance to get the emergency exit seats with that bit of extra legroom and as an added extra benefit at Manchseter you get the a dedicated SB Plus checkin desk - which allow you to checkin faster. if thats not important to you probably not worth paying the extra. You can have up to 30 Speedy Boarders on each flight (on Ryanair its 90 !)

If you do go for SB boarding it is well managed (well it is at Manchester !) with SB signs and barriers at the gate to allow SB and others to queue in an orderly manner.

Our experience of the Easyjet return from Tenerife is less than favourable. They do not have the signs or barriers (neither do Ryanair) at the boarding gate and it is a nasty scrum and not for the faint hearted well it was this March.

In Oct/Nov we are going with Easyjet (with SB). Our return is with Monach (extra legroom of course!) and with prebooked seats - never will we fly back from Tenerife with Easyjet nor Ryanair.

Hope this helps

Regards, Chris

As I am due to fly to Malaga shortly, I like many others have been keeping an eye on cancellations, arrivals and departures at Bristol airport.
I noted a flight due to arrive back at Bristol 01:30 from Malaga this morning 11/5 was cancelled, more than likely due to the ash cloud.
Has anyone any more info as to why. Was the aircraft in the wrong place and could not get to Malaga.
I have noted mainly flights to Canaries and Portugal are disrupted at this time.

coolcarole,

They changed the flight time for scheduling reasons, the aircraft operates a flight on the morning before operating the Crete in the evening. The flight comes in from a couple of possibilities.

My opinion that it's a waste of time registering for e-mail updates with Easyjet has just been confirmed.
Literally two minutes ago I received an e-mail informing me that Winter 2010 flights from Liverpool airport were now on sale.......
... I booked my Christmas/New Year flights the day they appeared on Easyjet's site -- 6th May !!!! :banghead:

Lucky you. I have been registered for many years now and never had an e-mail. Waste of time.

We fly with eJ regularly from both Manchester and Liverpool.

Just had an email from them today, to inform me that " Winter 2010 flights from Doncaster & Birmingham on sale now "

Yeah? So what!

you've probably had quite a few but your Spam filter may have deleted them without you seeing them, it's an old problem.
