Flying EZY2057 tomorrow from LTN to GVA.

Does someone know which part of the airport it will dock at ? As it's a non-Schengen flight, I expect it to be at B30 satellite or B40 satellite.

But I don't remember having seen Easyjet gates on the B30 satellite.

Anyone can confirm ?

Many thanks !

We are flying with EJ in december going to barcelona. As long as I actually get a seat preferably with my husband I don't mind where it is!! We just let the sad sacks push their way on , it obviously gives them some pleasure. :cheers

Munchito,

Please provide flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are multiple flights. Aircraft types sometime differ by date too so please provide as much detail as you can. Assuming you're on the the EZY8703/4 or EZY8705/6 (LGW-TFS-LGW), flights are operated by an Airbus A320-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Boarding procedures and travelling with a disabled passenger are explained on their website.

Yes we are on the 8703/8704. On Saturday.
I was being hopeful that it was the A319 as I believe the seats don't recline!
Yes I have read their website but there is nothing better than getting peoples first hand experience as the boarding card says we are in group 2 and I thought we would be boarded as one of the first?

Thanks

Have you let them know you are travelling with a disabled passenger? If not, make sure they know at the gate so you can be boarded after the speedy boarders, but before group 2. This is for special assistance passengers.

We booked assistance when we booked ticket but maybe I should give them a call as well but at least I now know its an A320, I was hoping the seats did not recline as I believe seat pitch is 29" and I'm 5'9"!

I think you will find seat pitch is 30" and find that its more generous than monach, thomsonfly, thom cook and other mainstream carriers, Easyjet being the same as ryanair. Reclining seats on these planes with limited pitch are a pain and thankfully Easyjet and Ryanair do not have this facility.

We went to Tenerife in October with Easyjet (from Manchester) and the wheelchair folk went in first ahead of us speedy boaders.

I have just returned from a horrific experience with Easyjet. Delayed for 3 days, put on another flight which was then cancelled, then told it would be another 4 days until we could get a flight back to Scotland. So in the end we took a flight to Newcastle and had to pay for the train home. Needless to say, everything was a fight with them. To get a hotel (we did end up getting one for one and then they 'forgot' to pick us up for our flight home and we had to pay for a taxi grrr) food and water which they did not provide despite them giving us the regulations which said they should :duh No one in France would admit to working for them and all said they didn't have authority to do anything. Unfortunately for them, I spend most days in a court, so I will make sure they learn to treat passengers properly!

Hi, i'm flying Gatwick to Rome on EZY5253 departure time 6.50am. I know that there are a lot of EZY departures from Gatwick around this time and want to know if you actually save any time by checking in online, as I have baggage will still need to queue up for the bag drop service.

Is the queue usually longer at the bag drop desks or the standard check in at South Terminal?

Thanks

Have just read the benefits of booking speedy boarding I would question its literal accuaracy and that it should be reported as misleading.

Those of us that have used it understand what it means but those who havent used it before may be disappointed to find that it doesnt give them what they expect.

It says that booking and paying for speedy boarding allows you to "choose your favourite seat". This implies that having paid for speedy boarding that you can get the seat that you want.

This as you probably know is incorrect, all it does is to allow you to be "one" of the first on board and therefore to have the opportunity to have the choice of those seats that have not already been taken by other speedy boarders and of course those that have been cordened off as not to be used due to load factoring and therefore not necessarily "your favourite seat".

Regards Chris
