Lxxx Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Even with a cheap overnight stay in Crawley it works out cheap as chips to go to Rome for a long weekend. Thumbs up to Easyjet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Flybe reliability and punctuality is disgusting. I wont be using them again. Out of 21 flights they have been delayed on 14 occasions! When flying to Liverpool its so frustrating to see that the flybe flight before yours hasnt even left yet and then the easyjet announcement for boarding to the same place comes bang on time. Never had much of a problem with FlyBe. Onlt time they were delayed recently wasn't their fault - it was when the truck crashed into the plane at Ronaldmcdonaldsway.

mad_manx Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If you are traveling on with Emirates, the flight times are brilliant. I fly on the LGW -DXB route once every month or so. EK15 arrives At around 1230 at LGW. The 1345 easy jet is a bit too close for comfort(especially as the IRIS scanners have been withdrawn at LGW north).

I fly regularly with Flybe, and whilst I don't particularly like them, their punctuality is rarely an issue these days. When they first took over the BA regional flights, their punctuality / cancellations were abyssmal, but it has been pretty rare to have any serious delays for a while now. Mind you, given a choice, I would use BA to LCY rather than go through LGW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Is there a difference in price charged by the two airlines if a passenger wishes to change their flight to the next day? We were quoted an additional charge of £140.00 each to take two of the seven available seats on a Flybe plane leaving Liverpool in 2 hours time. So it was masses cheaper to stay overnight as planned at the Hampton Hilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about EZY, but if you bought the rock bottom fare with Flybe, then you will pay through the nose to change it. However, but if you bought their New Economy, then you acquire some rights to one change, and just pay the fare difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 A friend told me this morning he has just had an e mail from Flybe cancelling his xmas flights as they are not running them ? maybe the slide downhill starts here ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 To be fair every time I have flown to Liverpool with Easyjet it has been delayed, whereas for punctuality Flybe is usually spot on. So you get what you pay for with Easyjet, cr*p service but cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Problem with flying either of them to Liverpool is that you get stuck with the same baggage handlers and security staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you get what you pay for with Easyjet, cr*p service but cheap. The last three flights to Liverpool I have taken with Flybe have been delayed between two and five hours. On one occasion an operation I have been waiting for for more than a year had to be postponed due to a stewardess calling in ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you continue to fly with them then? if you think they are so poor, Easyjet have a daily service to Lpl or there is the Steam Packet so you do have an alternative.

I didn't think that they would get it so wrong three times on the trot to be honest. Plus the Easyjet flight times didn't suit my requirements.
