Question on easyjet; how do I know if a flight is nonstop
 
I want to book a flight from LGW to Nice and the fares on EasyJet are great; but I want to make sure I'm on a nonstop. Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't find anyplace on their website that tells me if the flight's a nonstop or connecting. Does anyone know?

their route map shows it being direct. As there's no reason to stop other than to pick people up on these short flights, it's safe to assume it's direct. It's not that far, remember.

I'm taking a flight from Luton to Nice and yes it is nonstop. I think when you bring up Gatwick to Nice on the EasyJet website, all those flights will be nonstops. Otherwise you would look at flights to CDG and then a separate flight from CDG to Nice.<BR>Easiest way to tell? Look at the times. If it is about a 2 hour flight then it is nonstop. (But don't forget the hour time change, so it actually looks like a little over three hours -- for example my non-stop leaves Luton at 12:50 and arrives in Nice at 16:00).

Fran hi. I am checking myself Easyjet for a flight from ZRH-GATWICK. <BR>I would say they only have nonstop flights. If the flight LGW-Nice is about 2 hours, it's definitely nonstop. <BR>Note: The European continent is +1h GMT time.<BR>Yes, you're correct. The prices area amazing and I intend myself to use Easyjet this coming fall.

Heads up: a direct flight isn't necessarily non-stop. Direct means you don't need to change planes along the route. Non-stop means the plane doesn't stop.

Hey, xxx, apparently "direct" no longer means that you don't have to change planes. American tryed to book me on a "direct" flight a year or so ago from Milan to Miami that went through Chicago or New York (I forget which). Not only did you still have to change planes, but also had to clear customs between the two parts of the flight. They told me it was called "direct", because the flight number was continuous, despite the change of planes.

I believe all Easyjet flights are non-stop. As another poster pointed out, the distances are not that long so no need to refuel etc. A point: you might want to take some food with you,as there is a limited choice of things to eat on the plane and they're expensive (I think).

With easyjet, you pay for each leg of your trip separately, so it sounds like you're nonstop.
