stanton, I look at the 'total cost of the flight' not an element and on that basis Easyjet is cheapest everytime

I have had to travel with EasyJet on a number of occasions to the UK & Switzerland (as a last resort). I can honestly say they are the worst airline i have ever travelled with. I really hope they go out of business  |
On what basis? We use them all the time for business short haul flights into Europe (maybe 50+ flights per year) and I've never had much to complain about. Ok so BA is slightly more comfortable, but not much and usually far more expensive. Not really worth it for a 2-3 hour flight. Ryanair is a definite step down from Easyjet i.e less legroom and cramped seats, but often even cheaper. If you're carrying a crapload of luggage it might be worth comparing the total cost against the more expensive airlines, but otherwise it will almost certainly be cheaper on the budget carriers.

stanton, Do you live near heathrow ? If you lived further north dont you think you would have a different veiw?
It's ok to castigate others for using budget carriers but if you are on a limited budget and far from the uk's main hub why shouldn't others have the right to convenient travel?

Easyjet flights, in my experience, are usually full while many others are not. I would have thought this makes for less pollution per passenger.

where do you get this idea from?
Okay, last week I was very sweaty in the heat, especially in my fartbag
(note the matching skis and boots)
but usually I ensure that I wear enough deodorant whilst working...

Cheap aviation is less polluting than any other kind, since the aircraft are usually fuller.
yes, it does mean more people can travel, and I imagine you want to keep the ski resorts for those who can afford the ridiculous prices that flights used to be, or who (like yourslef) happen to live somewhere that means they can probably drive to the snow quicker than flying. |
Planes pollute weather full or empty

A stupid and inane comment thta was totally and utterly irrelevant to the point at hand.

stanton, Please drop us pictures of your next journey to the Alps, for skiing, by bicycle. They could be more interesting than watching the Tour de France ascent to Alpe D'Huez.

If at all possible I do not fly at all. I use a bicycle & trains in Europe. |
That's all fine and dandy, but I really do feel the need to fly to places. Probably has something to do with time constraints and the fact that I live on an island.
