IainF1 you've canx all your flights. Is that because you wont get your "free" meal with GB on their flight or because you dont want to pay for pringles?

Although I like easyJet and use the airline for some leisure flights, it is not like travelling on a full service airline if that is what one really wishes.

1) - no allocated seat - a far bigger issue for some pax than might be thought

2) - no Club option - some people like to pay for a little more space and service

3) - no BA lounge access (Priority Pass substitutes, but the BA lounges are better IMHO)

As a Maltese resident, I have used GB reasonably regularly over the past few years - I suspect that easy will not maintain the route, but for reason #2 above I wouldn't use the service anyway, as I am travelling to/from work on the flights and need the extra space to work with a laptop.

Final point, thanks to all the GB tech and cabin crew for providing a good service, you didn't 'feel' quite like mainline BA as you were friendlier and had your own less formal style, but the product was good and I will miss you.

I hope that things work out well for all of you.
