Easyjet

You know this place is freakin awful. The staff is rude as heck (probably because they are underpaid) and just screamin at people. This girl tried to scream at me and I flipped out on her (my buddy was like you really had to check her)… I have my ticket in my hand and she’s looking at me tells me «thank you» then I start walking and she says «hey you where are you going you must check in first» i looked at her like she was crazy, im from the hood homegirl «i was like calm the fuck down you just told me to pass and said thank you» she says I was talking to someone else «i said you were looking right at me» she then apologized… Young staff overworked and underpaid to get you low prices. That was one part.
Second part is that I got hit with a $ 35 (euro) luggage fee for my carry on. Like wtf, you want me to check in my small carry on. WHACK, i would have rather paid the extra $ 50 (euro) without the bull crap. You’ve been warned, if you walk out pissed dont say Unilocal didn’t warn you!

Not so easy, EasyJet, but it was okay.
I flew on EasyJet on a recent trip from Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) to Rome Leonardo Da Vinci Fumicino (FCO) in October 2014. Booking my flight on the website was easy and got my confirmation email. Fast forward to the boarding gate area in Amsterdam, where the gate agent told me to consolidate my already filled to the brink a backpack and a small drawstring bag (also filled to the max). I was like seriously!!! I can’t put the second bag under my seat? I felt frustrated, irritated, angry, and just lost confidence with EasyJet after that moment. Fortunately, everything did fit into the backpack, but it definitely grew from normal to mega abnormal. After getting on the plane, I saw some people putting their stuff under the seat in front of them and that just really pissed me off. Ugh.
EasyJet is a British based carrier, which flies to many points in Europe. Unlike bigger carriers like British Airways and Air France, EasyJet, I think is a regional low cost airline, exactly like Southwest and JetBlue. Especially when boarding where you have massive boarding lines and you need to find your seat as fast as you can. I boarded out of gate H8 in Amsterdam Schiphol airport. It’s pretty interesting how there were two lines for boarding, one main one and the back door. Airlines in the United States don’t do that! I guess different places do different procedures. I would say that EasyJet had comparable fares than those of its competition in the European Union. It was cheap enough to fly one way and not having it being overpriced — at least that’s what I was thinking. Still, I wouldn’t recommend flying this airline, unless you are looking for rock bottom prices to get you from point a to point b fast.
I’ve only flown with EasyJet just this one time, but I was glad that it was an on time departure. The plane was a Boeing 757, so that was pretty good for starters, but they instituted the one bag policy for everyone, which sucked. Unless they did some political profiling on me, I think it’s for everyone. The flight experience was typically okay. As long as it was on time departure and arrival, I was okay with it. Still, it could have been better. The seats were a little narrow, probably because of the large people sitting next to me and I had the honor of the middle seat. Grr. The flight was adequate for what I needed and that was important.
Still kind of cool to hear crew instructions in Italian and Dutch.
Support local!

Had very good experience when flying easy jet in Europe. Used them 4 times to different countries and was very satisfied with timeliness, attendants hospitality. Attendants, as well as staff on the ground helping a lot, specially that I was traveling with my injured son, who was using wheelchair. Will use this airline again for sure.

The great Easy Jet baggage hustle…
I travel with the same bag always and have used it on at least 10 Easy Jet flights and stowed in the overhead bins in the cabin. What they do is try to make you fit your bag in an ultra small «tester» when you check in so if course it isn’t going to fit so you are threatened into paying 35 euro to check a bag and further threatened with a 55 euro charge at the gate. What they know and I as well is that normal size suitcases fit on Easy Jet planes, including my bag. They aren’t special or have special small overhead bins. This is a hustle and a scam, so watch out for it. The Amsterdam airport is particularly bad about this. Watch out for this folks!

travelling around Europe has been made relatively easy with the likes of easyjet and many other budget airlines. my latest easyjet journey was from Edinburgh to Amsterdam and back again. all said, besides a slight delay on the way there the easyjet flight was just as good as any other flight i’ve taken. stars off though for the long time sat waiting to board the plane, the flight attendant trying to stop me from using the toilet because the fasten seat belt sign was on, and no offer of free tea. i know it’s a budget airline, but surely flying a planeload of british people entitles one to a free cuppa!

Horrible travel experience! Worst customer service. Shady baggage promotions on their website. Absolutely awful gate arrangements at the airport. Never fly this company unless it’s your very last option. I’d rather hitch hike on my next trip!

Easily the worst airline I have ever flown. As a travel agent, I will never sell or personally use them again. They suck every iota of life out of the customer service industry and I am shocked so many customers are willing to be treated certain ways to save a few dollars/​euros/​pounds. A few basic things, really strict with overweight bags. I paid ours in advance and two bags were 1lb over and we were charged $ 20 euro extra for these. Not nice, but my own fault for shopping so I paid it gladly. On board, no entertainment, no recline buttons on seats, uncomfortable seats, no assigned seats at all so it is easy to get on board and not be able to sit near your family/​friends/​group. The big offender is after checking in our bags, clearing security, sitting in the waiting area for over and hour and lining up to board, as we began boarding the plane, a huge witch of a woman started pulling people with purses or duty free shopping aside. Apparantly, you can’t take a personal item. One carry on, no additional item. So you can’t carry a laptop, or buy items in duty free that won’t fit in your carry on. Or if you are a lady, you can not carry a small purse. Lots of people were fighting with them. They charged me 40Euro to «check» the back pack I have taken to 65 countries on over 50 airlines carrying because my small purse would not fit into my backpack. Another woman had to check the shopping she just purchased because it would not fit in her small purse. RIDICULOUS! Wait until people are boarding and nail the for extra money. Eastjet offers a terrible experience. Do not fly them. Plenty of alternatives

Never fly easy jet unless you are desperate and are prepared to be late or pay necessary charges. The employees are rude, their bag policy is ridiculous, they charge ridiculous amounts for «extra baggage» aka my purse, and their planes are really late. Easy jet cost me about 120 euros more than what I had originally anticipated. This included me having to pay for another bus because they made me miss the one I originally paid for, cabs for rushing to the bus station, and baggage. And I thought 2 hours between «landing time» and my bus departure would be enough… nope.
