Easyjet Gatwick - Bus or Gate?

Hi

Can someone tell me if Easyjet use a bus to board the plane at Gatwick or whether the plane pulls upto a gate for boarding?

Trying to decide on booking priority boarding but wont bother if a bus is used.

Thanks

    I boarded from gate 28 yesterday with easyjet: this is in an area with several gates with lots of seating available, a bit like the ryanair gate are at the far end of Stansted airport, and we boarded via a ??? (those covered connections right into the front door of the airplane). I don't know the name, sorry. I found it unusual, since I normally fly ryanair where you walk to the airplane outside and can board via both doors.

    This is one experience, but you need to wait for others to draw a conclusion of how easyjet works.
  • I went via gate 98 last week, it was a bus, the people that had paid for quick boarding got to wait longer on a frezzing bus, as the flight was not full they only put one bus.
  • Don't remember ever using a bus at Gatwick to board.
