Has anyone used easyJet?
 
Hi, <BR>I am trying to find an economical flight from London to Edinburgh. I saw easyJet on the internet, and wondered if anyone has ever used them and if so how was the experience? <BR> <BR>Also, does anyone know of good fares from London to Edinburgh? <BR>Thanks!

Ann <BR> <BR>Where did you find info on the net about Easy Jet. I looked and looked (using Google and Yahoo) but couldn't find anything. <BR> <BR>Thanks! <BR> <BR>

easyjet.com <BR> <BR>Flew from Aberdeen to London, perfectly fine and cheap. Easyjet customers get Green Coach r/t ticket from Luton to Victoria station (and a few stops in between like Marble Arch) for £5.

I'm using them regularly between Geneva and various European cities. Inexpensive fares if booked early, very convenient, usually on time. No service on board but the longest flight is usually 1 hour 1/2. <BR> <BR>www.easyjet.com <BR> <BR>

I've flown easyjet Belfast-Liverpool twice with no problems. Service was fine and the flights left on time. <BR> <BR>I did however, encounter a problem recently. I had to cancel a Liverpool-Barcelona flight due to illness. I was told that I would be refunded the ticket price, minus a handling charge. That was in January, and I still haven't received the refund.

Also try Go Airlines who fly from Stanstead. Flew with them to Edinburgh last year. Plane left on time and I got a good deal on car hire through them as well <BR>I think the web address is www.go-fly.com. <BR>

One thing to watch about Easyjet is the way their prices fluctuate. They say on the web page that prices go up as planes fill up, but in fact, I have seen the prices go up and then back down. I bought tickets and was surprised to see the available fare go down later on. I complained by email and got a refund. Easyjet will give you the lower fare consistent with their "Best Price" promise, but usually you have to go through their call center to get it. <BR> <BR>GoFly is a British Airways affiliate, and I know some people who refuse to use it because they feel it's BA's attempt to squash low-fare competition.

Yes. I love EasyJet and I love Stelios (EasyGroup's fantastic owner) - because of him, I can escape from London to Geneva sunshine every summer for less money and time than it takes to get up to Manchester. <BR> <BR>Not like I'd ever *want* to go to Manchester . . . book it, Dano!
