Was pricing a trip recently (will not bore you all with details of a single data point that proves nothing) and caught sight of new Easyjet policy. They will let you standby on an earlier flight free of charge and if you miss your flight will let you on the next one for a fixed fee of £35. Aimed at business travellers but will benefit all. That is something I don't believe their main UK competitors offer. So good for Easyjet.
