Easyjet reliable?

cisko65

Hi
In October I will be traveling from London to Pisa (Italy) and I was surprised to see there still are many flights with Easyjet. Some are less expensive than Ryanair which proved to be much more reliable. Do you know if Easyjet has improved and last-minute cancelling is not as frequent as it was? Thanks.

How long is a piece of string?

Easyjet and Ryanair, in my experience, very similar in terms of poor customer service, cramped aircraft, reliabilty etc.

Currently in a hotel in dubrovnik and used an “easyjet” flight to get here.

however they outsourced the flight to skylynx latvia on the flight out, and it would appear on the way home too and ive never been on a more cramped flight im my life.

im not the tallest person, just under 6ft by my knees were rammed up against the seat infront and for ref ive taken a fair few ezy flights in my life but never experienced owt like this, just thankful it was only a 2.5hr flight

Same Ryanair that have been the most reliable and robust airline in terms of operating the schedule they've sold this summer?

We nearly always use Easyjet and haven’t noticed flights being particularly cramped. I’m currently in Majorca and my 6.1 ft OH had enough leg room to be comfortable .

We probably take 4 or 5 return Easyjet flights a year and are rarely delayed (just waiting now for a delay on way back having said that!) 

Interestingly  before we travelled we  got lots of warnings about masks of a certain requirement being needed otherwise boarding would be denied but no masks apart from staff and three or four passengers on board. Same when we got to Majorca , Government advice page said masks were needed indoors including airports but virtually no one apart from the people checking our Covid passports were wearing one.

I don't have an issue with the legroom either but I find the new slimline seats to be very uncomfortable for any flight longer than about 2.5hrs.  The fitted 'recline' and solid headrest I find make it very uncomfortable to try and rest/sleep.

As I virtually always fly economy I prefer non reclining seats purely because I don’t like the seat in front reclining into me.
