Problem is that on plenty of flights (particularly short haul) if you board too late there's not enough room for bags in the overhead lockers - whatever class you're flying in.
Because all of the aforementioned turn up with bags the size of a small house as carry on luggage. Needs to be way stricter on proper airlines, IMO. Big bag? Check it in. Carry on? Book, laptop/tablet, change of clothes (Long haul) and that's about it.
Flown Ryan countless times as they are the only one that goes where I need to go. They are shite but in 2 weeks I am flying to Sweden return for £30. Flashman you make a good point about pressure put on pilots but that happens with all air lines. Pilot friend told me some hair raising stories.
My rule is that all cheap ailines treat you like cattle, suck it up or pay £400 for the same journey through a major carrier.
I always board at the very end of the queue as I hate the claustraphobia of everyone scrabbling/standing around in a small tube.
Never had an issue with overhead space or seating either!

Check it in? Amateur stuff 😉
Agreed that there needs to be a bit more control over the size of some people's carry-on, however many aircraft don't have enough storage for the number of passengers that bring luggage within their allowance (as an example BA have plenty of aircraft where the overhead bins only take industry-standard carry-on bags sideways)
Still, none of this has any real relevance to easyjet 🙂
molgrips - MemberI've got to go to Madrid 16th-20th April. I was all set to book from Cardiff via Amsterdam on KLM leaving the Sunday night, but the return flights are a bit rubbish - would either have to leave in the morning of 20th or the evening and spend the night in Schiphol.
So I'm looking at flying from Bristol and Easyjet is an option with a direct flight.
The only other alternative is to go to Heathrow and either fly Sunday night or early Monday morning. My colleagues are flying from Heathrow in the morning, don't really fancy flying with them at 6am.

Easyjet are fine, i'm 6'5" and i've never had a problem with them, the cabin crew are usually pretty good at standing in the exit rows and i've always managed to get an exit seat, people tend to fill up from the front or the back and miss the over wing exits.

We were all third world countries once. 😉
The only airline I've flown with where we got to land with fire engines to meet us.

But flew with ryanair last friday and was pleasantly surprised when the pilot let my 8 year old son in the cabin .
This is a cost saving measure. They no longer have co-pilots so there's a spare seat they can sell up front... 😀

If recent experiences are anything to go by, the UK is working very hard to win this accolade again. 😥

really? so the world began with third world, then developed to new and then first world? what's next on the list? no world countries?

not entirely true, that's only for the benefit of the poor people. those who can afford £250k lunches will probably keep their current standing
The only budget airline I'll fly with. Good service and clear fees. We once missed an early morning flight to Aberdeen (thanks Luton Airport bus drivers), despite being at the car park 90min before take off. Missed the check-in and explained to Easy Jet. They put all four of us on the next flight to Edinburgh at no cost. Of course my friend in Aberdeen wasn't quite so happy 😉
