I agree with Ramper1 on all points except the catering. I don't have a problem with the pricing on EZY's products, but with the quality of the sandwiches and hot snacks. Very poor. Captive audience pricing, I just paid £6.80 for a cider and a packet of chips (Boxsters I think they're called).
On the other hand, it was a packed flight, the CC were helping people stow their hand luggage, we pushed back a few minutes early and arrived on stand 20 minutes early, and as always the entire performance was professional and as good as you can expect when flying economy class.
I am about to have my first experience of Norwegian in a couple of weeks, it will be interesting to compare, I have heard a lot of good reports.

Well I dont work for or have shares in Easyjet but I love to fly with them. Very customer orientated and excellent to deal with.Ramper is spot on.. Unlike Norweigen, Easyjet actually fly to the sun with an extensive route network and a thankful absence of drop down screens showing cartoons and adverts 
I reckon Stampe had a bad flight once with them and will always hold these views..

No they dont have wifi, that for me would appear to be the gap
Apart from anything else, it's usually quite uncomfortable and awkward to use a laptop on a plane, I know a lot of people have smartphones and I-pads etc but ...... FFS ...... we sleep for 8 hours a day and the world doesn't end because we don't check our email and Pprune through the night!
And now ........

I tend to agree.
Unless a interactive system like Emirates could be offered (yeh right..) then the screens are pointless in the aircraft as everyone would just watch their own stuff on iPads etc.
The few airlines that do have these drop down screens show pointless drivel anyway!
I DO fly for the company and so I know a lot of the ins and outs, but I also happen to fly as a passenger with them every weekend and, as I alluded to before, the only bit that bothers and stresses me is the airport experience and some of the staff at the airports.
Once I am on the aircraft I am on the home straight, which I tend to pass away playing angry birds or sleeping...

The half year results are out: http://corporate.easyjet.com/~/media...e-05042013.pdf
The numbers look good to me with a halving of the winter losses to 60-65 M pounds, but the market certainly didn't like it. Shares down by 7%.
Traffic numbers look strong for March as well:
Monthly traffic statistics - easyJet plc
90.5% load factor and 5.3% increase in passengers carried.

EZY219 STN-GLA due in GLA at 20:55 now showing ETA 00:55 on FID at GLA but EasyJet website stating ontime. Can anyone shed light to save me hanging around GLA for the next few hours?!

SFS - appreciate it, though their website still displays on time when I'm looking at it, couldn't script that!
EDIT - I was looking at mobile site, full site shows delay. Thanks again.

The aircraft is doing a 4 sector, GLA - AMS, AMS GLA, GLA STN and then STN GLA.
It's pretty much only just left Glasgow enroute to Amsterdam (flying over leeds currently) but if it leaves on its new estimated time, the knock on effect won't see it landing from Stansted until 0110 Local.

Sorry, don't have that information.
I imagine it was a delay due to earlier flights, and this just had a knock on effect through the whole day.
Could be tech, slot, crew, medical reasons.
Estimated arrival in Glasgow is now 0055L, but that could change if further turn arounds delayed.
