Easyjet Speedy Boarding

[jrtv]

Now that easyjet charge �2.50 for speedy boarding what would happen if everyone bought it, they can only allow so many to get on the plane first.

I suspect they don't allow 'everyone' to buy it - once say 30 people have bought it the option stops being offered. But ICBW

Surely it only allows you to go thru the check in first, like if you are travelling with a small child. If you then get on a bus to get to the plane, surely there is no advantage, as everyone gets off the bus together.

We used easyjet at the weekend and because we hadn't paid the �2-50 each my wife and I got put into a holding pen, There were 4 pen's altogether A, B, C, D and you were put into one which ever the check in clerk told you, we had to wait there until those in pen A who had paid the �2-50 where all in and could go onto the bus (plane) then we were allowed out followed by pen C, then D came last, a very bad and stupid system that put people's back up.
Those in the last pen's were treated like animals.
Goodbye Easyjet ( no more for me )

The so called low cost airlines will loose their trade if they keep going on as they are. Payments for everything they can think of. I have already started switching back to existing airlines such as Lufhansa, KLM and BA for short trips in Europe as the cost difference is often minimal and you don't have to endure being treated little cattle
(example �84 return to Nuremberg with Lufhansa recently).

In addition it's the little extra's you also get for example skiing I get 2 bags and 20KG this year with BA, last year on Ryanair (ahhhhh) 1 bag and 15KG try doing that with ski equipment! Better still FlyBe wanted �40 to carry my ski's!

Plus when it all goes wrong with technical problems and the weather see how much any of the low costers care less (5 1/2 hour delay recently with BMI Baby �3 compensation!)

Don't get me wrong I still use BMI Baby, Easy Jet, Jet 2 and Ryanair (ahhhhh) BUT the appeal is fast wearing off..............

The correct answer to this question is, 20 passengers. Easyjet sell speedy boarding to the first 20 passengers only. prices range from �2.50 to �7.50 depending on distance and flight time, and whether or not passengers get bussed to the aircraft or airbridged.
