Never encounter rude staff in all of our trips to the uk from Ryanair100% with you Barry, they are always very polite and efficient.

On time
Cheaper than the rest
and quite simply follow their rules and you will be fine.
Easyjet back to Newcastle was 2 and half hours late last Friday.
Enough said.

Turn up at the airport on time with a Holdall that fits in the gauge
It doesn't get any easier
On a different note concerning Easyjet delays
The majority of these are caused by Air Traffic Control delays I can guarantee that the crew are just as frustrated as the passengers

Having flown about 80-90 times a year for the last 9 years I am probably in quite an experienced position to give an opinion on Easyjet
Yes the last couple of months have been a bit of a nightmare
This has been caused by the following reasons
A. Gatwick Airport struggling to cope with demand resulting in slots being put back
B. Runway closed on 2 occasions at Gatwick due to Hydraulic Fluid on runway followed last month by a hole in the runway
I have never in the 9 years had delay that was due to Easyjet which isn't bad for over 700 flights
I have never had a problem with any of their cabin crew who are extremely professional or the ground crew who are not actually Easyjet staff but Menzies Aviation
Now I'm sure you will find a member on here who has had a nightmare experience but flying as often as I do if Easyjet didn't provide the service I required I would swap at the drop of a hat

The article is dated February 2016 and relates to performance in the preceding three years. My experience is that EasyJet´s performance has been much worse in recent months. What do other members think?
Bert
Have you got the figures on that claim?.

Who manages these claims websites anyways ?
Could it be someone that was a previous member and hates Ryanair because he got busted on a flight because he didn't read the rules ?
Who knows ?
Who cares ?
Point is that some things are beyond the control of airlines.
Like:
Summer (the holiday period and the frantic rush to "get away")
People - who don't know what to do at security.............plastic bags etc etc
French ATC - usual air traffic control nonsense anytime they feel like it.
Stag Parties - and the humiliation of being someone from the same country as them as cause havoc at both airports and en route.
All in all the poor cabin crew put up with a lot. On my recent delayed flight one of them was into his 16th hour of duty and had another shift the next day.
As far as price goes Ryanair can't really be beaten. If it wasn't for Benidorm the prices would be higher I reckon so we have to live with some of the above factors.

Ryanair seem to have improved as far as customer service is considered, also most of their front desk personnel are now Spanish instead of Polish.
Incidentally, aircraft crew CANNOT work 16 hours in one go. Goes against (obvious) safety regulations ... Unless they are flouting them.

My friend has had cancellation with ryanair and thinks they cancel rather than pay compensation for delays, i wouldnt know, have never used them.

No wonder there so cheap ;)

People think it's a glamorous job being part of the cabin crew but on shorthaul esp. it is really hard work.
And not paid well enough in my opinion.
They should get a Benidorm bonus for dangerous missions.

It was an Easyjet back in to Newcastle. felt sorry for the guy. He said it would be `6 hours by the time he had finished and got back into NCL.I doubt anyone thinks its a glamorous job working for Easyjet or Ryanair ???

Just wondering what difference the nationality of the front desk personnel makes ?
Slightly racist comment ?
As long as they speak your langauage when you need to check in.
