Flew again with EI over the weekend to and from LHR...load factors seemed strong (80%+ at a guess), and I paid £200 for my wife and I...
Have to say that both EZY and FR were cheaper, but not by much...add in the fact that the tube to central London was £4 compared to £20 from STN or LGW, and that EI give you a proper seat, and it becomes a simple choice.
BMI were more expensive (although again there wasn't much in it)...but when both BMI and EI flights home were cancelled on Sunday night (weather delays) it was EI who were putting people up in a hotel...BMI passengers were apparently being left to fend for themselves...
I've always been happy to fly EZY, utterly determined not to fly with FR, and now keen to choose EI first!
