"From the BBC News website "EasyJet customers who want to use overhead luggage lockers will have to buy more expensive tickets. In a move which provoked criticism on social media, Easyjet said the changes to its luggage policy will start on 10 February. Customers who don't buy the more expensive tickets will be restricted to putting a small carry-on bag under their seat. Easyjet said the changes would improve punctuality." Good move or bad? " Boycott the fuckers. But who really wants to travel at the moment anyway? | |||

"You get what you pay for. If you want to use the overhead locker either pay for it or or fly with another airline " Point is once one airline introduces these kind of charges then generally all the rest follow suit. Also for years we've been told travelling with bags etc under the seat in front was "unsafe"but apparently now it's fine? Ok... | |||

"How on earth will they police it. I would never fly with any of the low cost airlines. People have had massive problems getting refunds from them this year. I'm sticking with the decent large airlines. " Damn you beat me woman  | |||

"Charging for overhead lookers there be charging you to use easyjet plane toilets next" Mr Ryanair chappy already had that idea. I'm surprised they don't charge per minute for an oxygen supply! | |||

They're lucky people want to actually take flights now let alone trying to make more.

"I don't use them anyway so fine by me. Some people take the mick. One time coming back from Greece they started measuring all the hand luggage and loads of those people who have virtually a second suitcase had to pay to check an extra bag . "They purchased a cheap ticket knowing the restrictions . Served them right | |||

"I'd be less inclined to fly with them. The space is there, so may as well be used. They should board their flights more appropriately, as the way most airlines do it is about the slowest. Cattle prods would also speed things up. " Try being a wheelchair user that has to be "loaded". We arrived at the gate 1hr prior to departure as instructed. We nearly missed the flight because no-one came to operate the ambu-lift thingy until after the original departure time. Apparently it's acceptable to prevent paying passengers getting onboard and making them miss part of their holiday. Fortunately they delayed the flight, but it's not nice being last on board and it's harder to navigate to your seat when all the other seats are occupied. They're meant to board people with disabilities before others (to make it more efficient). Also I'm petrified the chair won't make it out in one piece  | |||

I had a meltdown at the top of the stairs last year and the flight crew and pilots couldn't have been nicer, the pilots introduced themselves and let me look round the flight deck.  | |||

"It was EasyJet with whom we very nearly got stranded in Liverpool......" Your flight was with easyJet but it was the Liverpool airport that left you high and dry. Even if you had flown BA you would have had the same experience. | |||

"It was EasyJet with whom we very nearly got stranded in Liverpool...... Your flight was with easyJet but it was the Liverpool airport that left you high and dry. Even if you had flown BA you would have had the same experience." It was easyJet staff who gave zero fucks if we missed the flight and were quite prepared to depart without us. They didn't seem to think that was an issue. I understand it's the airport staff who operate the machinery, but you have to rely on the airline staff doing the boarding to liaise with the airport. You can't just mooch back to the assistance desk and ask to speak to someone. Schiphol airport assistance (the busiest European airport?) was utterly flawless. I was whisked around on a whizzy cart thingy by a personal assistant. Tenerife South (small but, so is Liverpool) was also utterly faultless, and Palma in Mallorca. Manchester Airport is an absolute joke for assistance - it's only been UK airports we've had problems with. | |||

" What other type of passenger could present themselves at the boarding gate an hour before the departure but potentially be forced to miss the flight that they paid exactly the same fee for? There's no concession ticket for blue badge holders! If we'd missed the flight, the next one might be the next day or two days later. We'd miss one or two days of a holiday simply because whoever the fecking hell it is can't sort out passenger assistance in a small regional airport. Every mainland European airport has been so easy, so straightforward, never one second have we felt like we'd miss the flight (and we were last minute to Schiphol due to delays returning the hire car and waiting for the shuttle bus etc). Manchester and their new car drop off/pick up rules - don't get me started! Accessible taxi is minibus sized. Minibus sized taxis can't get under the barrier to go into the taxi pick up area so we had to make our way across the airport campus (many areas no dropped kerbs), with a toddler and luggage and a woman who couldn't move fully independently and when staff were approached, again, no shits given. The official airport JetParks car parks with shuttle buses are on unmade ground and not properly wheelchair accessible. The only truly wheelchair accessible car parking is a) twice as expensive and b) very limited AND cannot be pre booked as blue badge/accessible. The standard bays are so tiny that the it's physically impossible to get in/out. It's ok, the black cabs (three times the price compared to pre booking a local firm) are allegedly accessible.
