so what about STN I have been told they are not looking
for cabin crew but at least 3 flights a day mainly domestic
routes have been canx
I have also seen canx routes such as PMI and FAO
I would have thought these would be very busy routes
with lots of children

I'm getting a sense of deja vu here. In August BA withdrew from the BHD-BHX route leaving us with no option but to rebook with Flybe. They did give a refund but the Flybe tickets still cost Ģ110 more that we originally paid. Now we've decided to visit the Costa del Sol in November and have booked return flights with easyJet BFS-AGP. What happens if they decide to cancel either the outbound or return flight? Do they simply offer seats on the first available direct flight even if it's five days into your holiday or is there some flexibility. For example, would they happily fly you to Luton/Liverpool/Gatwick from Belfast and on to Malaga or vice versa? Also if they cancel the outward leg and you don't like what they're offering and decide to use an alternative carrier on the outward sector can you still use the return easyJet flight?

easyjet cancellations

frequentflyer2

My understanding (and some experience) is that both options are possible.
BUT and it is a big BUT, you have to make such changes via Customer Services. It would be quite so bad if they would allow you to change both sectors of a return, but they don't. My advice is not to make any alteration to the disrupted booking online if a re-route would suit you better. If your booking is still in its "disrupted" state then the call-centre staff appear to have less difficulty in sorting it for you.

Anyway, doesn't alter that fact that what they are doing is quite unacceptable. It will cost them considerable goodwill and passengers.

I made a posting in the Belfast forum yesterday.

It was regarding the winter schedule to NCE, and I was told EZY have cancelled the route for the winter, although they have not officially said anything yet.

So I booked my winter flights to NCE via LIV.

There are still lots of routes which have not come out yet for the winter. I have friends living in Newcastle who have been waiting to book flights to NCE.

Has that been cancelled too, or should they wait until EZY say something officially.

It's also possible that Easy are planning to launch a Nice base and use Nice based aircraft to fly certain existing Nice routes, thereby freeing up capacity at other bases.

That said, I haven't heard this "a base in Nice" rumour in ages, so doesn't seem likely...

No, and with the new MAD base juts announced itīs unlikely that we have plans for any other base announcements in the near future...Not enough crew or resources to manage all the admin for one more base opening... Thats my guess anyway...

what is going on with EZY and canx flights tonight into stansted
have they not sorted the problem of staffing yet

TONIGHTS CANX FLIGHTS INBOUND

EDI,MUC,GLA,AMS,CPH,NCE (not showing canx on ezy website)
the poor meeters and greaters im sure if BAA know they are canx
that the airline would know as well.
ezy arrivals info is even showing flights due after 0200 have landed
and its only 2200

when will this end?
if they cant staff the routes give up the slots to those who can

Maybe knock on effect from earlier delayed flights and tonight's runway closure at midnight has contributed. FR don't seem to suffer anything like the same problems.

Cancellations due Airport computers all down no baggage handling, no check-in no security etc etc
so as Airport closes at 2300z decision was made to cancel flights to make sure aircraft are in position for tomorrow

Chaos yesterday for the BRS based flights - my return GVA-BRS was over three hours late. The captain claimed that they had had two aircraft go tech at BRS which required complete reworking of the flying schedule. Still better late than never...

Thanks
