I was at a conference in Spain a couple of years ago and found that the RAF senior officer attendees had been required to take an easyJet flight at some inconvenient time of day from Gatwick
I know of some staff members of a now defunct airline that were travelling out of country to a meeting to sign a multi million pound contract for the maintenance of another companies aircraft.
They were booked to fly out on one of their own low cost airline aircraft and duly turned up on time to fly out, unfortunately company rules were that members of staff would be kicked off any full flights to allow the £9-99 fraternity to take those seats, you guessed it..............
The other company eventually (after several failed attempts to get out there) had to fly to the UK in their company biz jet to sign the contract.
