If the children are younger than 13 then the group will be in the first set of boarders and the party would not need SB.
This is not correct.

As dwlpl stated:

1st Speedy Boarders
2nd Special Assistance
3rd everyone else

When are the summer 2012 tickets likely to be going on sale?

Also, any news of what any new Manchester routes may be?

Would love some Barcelona action but suspect very unlikely given the Liverpool services.

Help, please

It's years since I traveled Easyjet but I am on Tuesday - Bristol - Geneva & return the next day.

The ticket, including the booking reference, has been provided by the company hosting the meeting, which they have emailed to me.

Thing is I have tried to check-in online but it won't allow me to as I am unable to supply the booker's email addy, although I can provide my surname and booking ref.

Is it OK to leave checking-in until I arrive at BRS on Tuesday morning?

You may well say that I can use their 0843 number to enquire but I only have a mobile (not land-line) and it's going to cost me an arm 'n leg to use this method.

Any help you could give me would be really appreciated to save me having to drive out to Lulsgate tomorrow to find out.

Also, can I pay for a speedy boarding as late as Tuesday morning? It's not clear from their FAQ?

Many thanks in anticipation of your responses.

hi Raglan2;
Yes you sure can check in at the airport. There is no cost for that! The only thing is you will need to Queue up!! You can buy speedy boarding at the airport, not sure of the price though. I saw at my local airport this week that Easyjet have a sign at the gate saying 'to purchase speedy boarding for this flight, contact staff at the gate', so presumably you can buy speedy boarding just before the flight is called.

Have a good trip!

Many thanks, guys, for your responses.

I did actually do what lfc84 (what club, then? I'm actually going to UEFA HQ) suggested but for some reason it wouldn't accept it and then it eventually pointed me to the 0843 number.

Irish - you've given me confidence to just roll up on Tuesday morning.

Many thanks again.

Has U2 given up on the LGW-NTE route, leaving it all now to flyBE, or is it simply a case that scheduling for 2012 has yet to be determined ?
AFAIK, this seems to be the only existing route out of Gatwick that's not on sale for next summer. If it's being dropped, U2 seem to be doing so very quietly

@Has U2 given up on the LGW-NTE route, leaving it all now to flyBE, or is it simply a case that scheduling for 2012 ... this seems to be the only existing route out of Gatwick that's not on sale for next summer.@

LGW/NTE route is a Easyjet seasonal one (mid july / early sept) ... actual scheduling for summer 2012 is ending june (a 10 months programm)
There is no reason to my knowledge that EZY will not reprogramm LGW/NTE route for 2012 summer
... just wait few days/weeks

Fuerteventura - Gatwick

The Stansted service that ends 24/03/12 seems to have popped up in the
easy booking engine for Gatwick twice weekly.

Not sure if this is old news but first I have noticed it.

Re LGW/CDG

1) Both airports slot limited.

2) Not in LGW's interest to pull long haul passengers out to CDG. So politically sensitive.

3) and probably most importantly; too much competition from Eurostar, other carriers from LHR and the channel tunnel.

Luton is only as little as 22 minutes away from the Eurostar terminal. Can't really see how Luton works unless it is cheaper.

Point Taken,

However; The Luton connection is needed to ferry French based flight deck and cabin crew (from ORY & CDG) to LTN for recurrent training and Sim elsewhere. In addition Management,Admin & Engineering staff are regularly on the flight.

Route selection involves many factors, some not always obvious!

I seem to recall that around autumn 2009, Easyjet made some reductions on the LTN-CDG routes - presumably because it wasn't making as much money as might have been hoped ?

If that was the reason wouldn't they have an LPL-LTN & MAN-LTN route?

Easyjet did have a Luton - Liverpool route for quire a while in the early days but it was not viable. Similarly bmi had a Liverpool - Heathrow route for a while and even tried a SF340 on it but again it was not viable.

Turning to routes to Paris, there are a lot fewer services from the combined London area airports now compared to pre the tunnel e.g bmi to CDG and Orly from LHR.
