What does Easyjet charge for paying for flights by credit and debit cards?

Pippa

Hi,
I've noticed that the winter flights from Manchester to Tenerife are already on sale.

Does anyone have any idea when Gatwick to Tenerife will go on sale?

Thanks
Jean

i was quite disappointed when we paid for speedy boarding last time to turkey, as they let us on the coach first so we sat down and then to my surprise they allowed all other passengers that hadnt paid for speedy boarding on the same coach,crammed in so loads standing grr, so because we were sitting we actually ended up getting on the plane nearly last, what a waste of money it was on this occasion
i know ive just booked some flights to turkey with my easy jet cc and still i got charged about £15 which i thought was bad considering it was their card , think its around 2% , only agreed to have this card as i was told i would get points to get cash off easy jet flights and no charges , so the deal isnt as good as it seems, if you add on all charges you get using it grrrr. they also charge for debit cards although not as much, think for mine it was around £5

I also have a visa electron account and also have a premier account with another bank. I just put a little in my visa electron account to keep it open then when I want to pay for flights I put enough in to cover the cost, as Visa Electron incurs no charges when booking flights I don't pay any extra.

Hi,

If my holiday departure date is in the summer season and my return in the winter season, I can book my outward journey first and pay in pounds.
When the winter season is released, it appears for a single journey from Spain ,that I will have to pay in euros. Can someone please confirm this or can I change something so I can pay in pounds?.
Thanks

Jean

JeanM,

You can book anyway you like!! With Easyjet, you are, in effect purchising two single flights rather than a return trip. So it's just as easy to purchase two single flights at the same time as it is one now, and when later. If you are booking a single flight from europe back to the UK, I do beleive it will be charged in euros and you can't change this.

As indicated by Dazbo, flight costs displays booking from Europe back to the UK will be shown and payed in Euros. Your credit card company or bank will then convert to sterling which will appear with conversation rate used on your credit card or bank statement.

Children flying to Hurghada with EZY for the first time this week.
Can anyone advise what snacks are available on the aircraft ?

Thanks

When we flew with them in December it was hot Bacon Baguette, hot paninis, selection of cold sandwiches. They also had pringles, chocolate bars, kettle crisps, and also bags of those share bag chocolates like minstrels ec. When we checked in we were given a voucher to get £1 off meal deals. So made a bacon baguette and a cup of tea only £4.50 thought that was pretty reasonale.

TAH-M,

Having Just Returned From Flying With EasyJet, There Is The Usual Selection Of Snacks (Chocolate Bars, Crisps) And Drinks. There Were Bacon Baguettes On The Way Out, Allong With Cold Sandwiches. On The Way Back They Were Offering Hot Paninis (Mozzarella and Tomato [if i remember correctly, it was a late flight) .

There Are Also Meal Deals That You Can Purchase Which Combine Food And Drink, With A Small Saving On Buying Them Seperatly.

PS. The Newer Aircraft (A319's) In The Fleet Are Nice, Allthough Not Much Difference, Most Noticabley The Lighting Panel Above Your Seats, I Was On G-EZDN Outbound And It Was Obvious That It Was Newer Than The Inbound Flight Last Night On G-EZAA, (Which Is Only 2 Years Older)

Can anyone tell me if you can carry pushchairs on Easyjet in addition to your baggage allowance as you can with other airlines?

I've checked their site but can't find any reference to pushchairs at all.

jan400,

Pushchairs are in addition to luggage. You can use it up to boarding gate, then they'll be put in the hold.

Hi,

Check in procedures Gatwick. Two of us are travelling next week with only one hold suitcase.

Does anyone know if one of us has to check in on line and the other at the airport or can we both check in at the airport?

Thanks
Jean

You can both check in at the airport Jean.

Thanks Helen

just back from our flight and noticed one significant difference from the norm, we were a fraction over the 20kg weight limit for the hold luggage and we had to pay SO BE WARNED(usually not a problem) this was happening to a lot of passengers on our flight. Must be a new policy as lo and behold in the April magazine they are selling a digital baggage weighing device !!!. you don't think Michael O'Leary is the new C.E O.
