A missed opportunity for extra revenue. Monarch did the same thing on their 320s and 321s and created 5/6 rows of extra legroom seats and charged accordingly.
Sadly for Monarch, it didn't save the airline. |

But that requires the whole aircraft to be reconfigured. Every seat re-pitched, oxygen masks moved. Significant down time for the aircraft. And given for easyJet this is a specific, short term issue, it will be quick to undo later.
Sadly for Monarch, it didn't save the airline. 2/ This was done a long, long time before the airline started making catastrophic decisions to kill itself. |
The very back row (Row 26) is coming out of the 319s, and for the exact reasons that Downwind_Left says, the rest of the seats are being left exactly as-is.
I'm guessing / hoping the poster is joking about this being a perfect place to pile cabin bags. With no way of securing the bags such as a pannier or net (which would be a mod to install) then the space from which the seats are removed can't be used. |
EasyJet is to offer new and existing cabin crew a £1,000 bonus at the end of the summer holiday season, as airlines battle to retain and recruit staff. The airline said the payments would acknowledge crews' contributions to what it expects to be a busy summer, with travel at near pre-Covid levels. |
Just had an email from easyJet
Flights up too and including the 8th May 2023 on sale now !! |
Easy have cancelled a lot of their LGW-TLS flights yesterday/today/tomorrow. Any idea why?
|
Had a sick A321N which has upset schedules
|
21 cancellations yesterday and 16 today out of LGW caused by one “sick” A321?
Lack of crew is the real answer. |
Thanks guys. Covid making a return or just general shortages?
looks like it’s going to be a tough summer. |

Easyjet to cut number of based aircraft at Berlin from 18 to 11
|
I`ve been wondering why easyJet doesnt fly to Cardiff (CWL) Surely flying from BFS-GLA-EDI to CWL would be a good move... I would certainly use it
I know Bristol Airport is not that far away but Heathrow isnt far from Gatwick either so ?! |

It is not enough to reason that a route 'might work'. To be worthwhile for the airline, deploying scarce aircraft resources on that route must be more lucrative than any alternative use that aircraft could be put to within a similar timeframe. Yield is key.

Seems to be a bit of a meltdown going on - substantial number of flights cancelled this afternoon.

Apparently, due to a major IT failure in Ops/Crewing.

Yeah, it was pretty bad at Gate 54 today. Santorini, Aberdeen, Geneva, Toulouse and many more cancelled.
All the flights that were cancelled were given the same gate number which caused a massive crowd to gather. No PA and the shouted announcements just weren’t getting through. No one could get through the crowd to other gates either. Felt sorry for people off to their first holiday in years and the couple going to Geneva for a wedding. And the ground staff too, not their fault. |
