jimharri said:A related question. Why do people insist on standing up and queueing on BMI Baby flights when there is a particular seat allocated to you? Is there some sort of contest to see who can get on the plane first? Weird. In relation to the OP's query; you get what you pay for with budget airlines. I use BMI Baby to fly over when I'm going over for a match. Generally your departure gate will be one of the furthest away, you can end up betting bussed from the plane to the terminal building and you'll pay through the nose for any food and drink on the plane. But I'm prepared to put up with that for one hour. Everything else re. checking in, getting to the airport on time has already been covered on here.Tuearts right boot said:Use Ryanair 4 -5 times a year and have used Easijet from Barca a few times.Can't fault them.
If you want to be a smug twat and get a good seat,don't queue up with the riff raff when boarding,sit and wait until the end of the queue then just walk through.The plane aint leaving without you.
I ask myself that every time...must be the herding instinct kicking in.It's totally fucking pointless,have a seat,read a book,watch the women

95% of the time i am flying it is for a match, so when the pre-board announcement is made, that means that I have time for another pint while the sheep get in line, much more relaxing than a book :-)

fly almost every week with easyjet, nothing of the top of my head but i hear bad things about ryanair so stick with easyjet.
Maybe take some grub with you as the shit on the flights is crap and expensive. I just buy a butty from boots.
Don't bother with all the priority pass addons and stuff they are worse than useless.

I confess to flying sleazyjet once. I found the whole experience degrading and depressing. Between the tubby "flight attendants" my 'complimentary' bottle of water, trying to hide my face in the Telegraph in case anyone saw me, passengers clapping the pilot for doing his job and basically being treated like cattle it's not something I choose to repeat.

Pre allocated seats, yet people queuing up to get on a stationary plane they're gonna be sat on for the next few hours. Madness.
I do most of my air travel on my own, so make a point of being last on and usually end up with an exit seat, whether I've paid for one or not. Always hand luggage. Can't be doing with spending 2 hours at either side checking in bags and waiting for luggage.

Very true, and the vacuum pack bags mean that a lot can be stuffed in a small holdall, & ALWAYS take the inflight mag home with you, I have got a lot of stick about this over the years, but when the people that were giving me stick are trying to plan a european trip, who do they phone to ask who flies to xxxxxxx?
