    On departing Barcelona airport this afternoon 24/4/19 while standing in the queue the flight attendant came over to myself and my husband and said to us we were not able to carry my handbag or my husband’s passport bag on to the plane. I explained we had no problem with it from Gatwick to Barcelona. No questioning but the attendant said to us, “Well you’re not in Gatwick now. You’re in Barcelona” so pushed the barrier across us while we struggled with the bags going into our small carry ons. Everyone else was carrying handbags and other bags. People were asking us what had we done. I said I really didn’t know why they made us wait until the last passengers had boarded the plane then said to us there was no room for our carry ons to go into the overhead cabins so they would have to go in the hold.

    To be honest I really didn’t want to argue because if we did I’m sure they would not have let us board. This woman was a very nasty bad tempered person who has been allowed to treat passengers in this way. Her colleague was very nervous around her. I complained to the Easy Jet staff on board and they are looking into this. Now would I travel again with Easy Jet to be humiliated? I don’t think so. I’d rather pay extra but as this was a gift to us from our kids we had no choice. Please save your money and fly with an airline that treats you with respect.

    My wife and I have never used EasyJet before so never really knew what to expect. Anyway when we purchased our tickets we booked extra leg room, which apparently also gives you Speedy Boarding/Priority. What we couldn't understand was what is Speedy Boarding? When we arrived at the Boarding gate we joined the Speedy Boarding line, we showed our boarding card/paper and proceeded to a holding area where we waited for transport to take us to the plane.

    This was approx 20/25 minutes, during which time wait more and more passengers arrived until the holding area and stairs leading to this area was full. When the transport arrived it was pretty much a free for all getting on the transport. When we arrived at the plane, we have never experienced anything like it, as pensioners we are not the quickest, it really was frightening, my wife was nearly knocked over in the rush by other passengers running to get on the plane. It seems the reason is the lack of overhead storage, so it really is first come first served. What we would like to know, what is speedy boarding/priority and how does it work. The flight and the cabin crew were first rate, but you are on your own once you pass through boarding control. Unfortunately this experience has made us realise that it is safer for us to fly with an airline that provides some sort of care for elderly passengers, we realise it will be more expensive but what price safety. Served.

    Never will I ever fly with this company again! They are uncaring, rude and thieves. When coming onto my 6am flight I was informed that I would have to stow my carry on because they didn't have room. I've had this happen before with flights when it's a full flight so I didn't think anything of it. Upon getting to Gatwick my destination I noticed the lock on my back wasn't clicked in and thought that it was weird but I had a connecting flight to the US so didn't have time to think anything of it. When I got home I noticed that 2 small luggage cubes containing gifts from Italy for my family was missing! I have never had this happen and I fly at least twice a year. I have sent a complaint to the company with no reply. And I will not only never travel again with this company but I will share my experience with any person who brings up the fact that they are thinking of using them. THIEVES!!!

    Flying over forty flights a year never had such a AWFUL experience with airlines as I did with "Easy Jet". I highly recommend to use services of other Airline provider, initial cheapish price might be very expensive due to LOUSY and UNPROFESSIONAL service they provide. Day of the flight in the morning I received message about two-hour delay of our flight from Amsterdam to Manchester. I wish I never installed their application, sending notification about delay but then no further update about change to its original state!

    We were still checked and behind security checkpoint and airport screens were showing that flight is delayed from 9:55 to 10:30. We arrived to gate at 9:50 and flight was gone. Although it indeed left the runaway 10:40. Clearly irritated ladies at the gate had good times watching us, pointing us to the service desk. Expecting decent customer care we stood one hour queue on your customer support. Arrogant lady didn't provide any support at all just offered to re-book our tickets for 280 eur total, while online price for new tickets was hundred euro cheaper.

    So in good faith we bought next flight, as a custom with Easy Jet on Schiphol airport without any notice on the board about the delay (no message on the board after actual departure time) flight was one hour delayed. Causing us miss next flight (that we originally had 5-hour reserve for). There are another three people with a same issue caused by this lousy service. Without refund. Even the online claim form doesn't work for them (There was an error on the server uploading the file. Please try again in a few moments.) I assume it's overloaded with happy customers. Do your self a favor and avoid this airlines at all costs.

    Wow, Easyjet and their staff at the Rome FCO airport are a joke. I needed to fly out of Rome to Paris on October 3rd, 2018. Our original flight was at 9:50 am. It was at the airport that I realized I didn't have my passport. I went up to the Easyjet Informations desk and explained to them that I do not have my passport and it most likely was left at the Hermes Boutique in Central Rome. At this time, it was only an assumption that my passport was with Hermes. This is because I received a missed call from a Rome number the night before. The next morning, I returned the missed call and I was sent straight to their Hermes voicemail. So at this point, all I knew was that I did not have my passport and that I have a missed call from Hermes meaning it is probably with them but I did not know for certain as no one picked up the phone. I wasn't going to get a definitive answer until 10:30 am which is when the boutique opened.

    There were 2 people at the info desk- a man and a woman. I spoke to the man (did not get his name) about my situation and he said that it would be fine for me to go retrieve my passport from Hermes and come back and book a flight (fully knowing that my original flight was at 9:50 am and it would take me 2 hours round trip to get my passport from Hermes in Central Rome). He said that once I had my passport he can go ahead and book a new flight for me no problem, I just had to pay the difference. I went up to this man at least three times to make sure this would was the case. I wanted to make sure I knew everything I needed to know before leaving the airport and just wanted reassurance that there would be space available for me when I come back to book my flight to Paris. He said everything was fine, just go get my passport.

    I get my passport, 2 hours later I am back at the airport and I go up to the Easyjet info desk. He is not there but the lady from the morning is and new lady named Julia. I spoke to Julia and she says there is nothing she can do and that I had to buy a completely new flight. I told her I had spoken to her colleague this morning and he said I can pay the difference. She tells me that there is a 2 hours time window to the pay the difference, any later than that you have to buy a new flight. I tried to ask her understand my situation and that her colleague had told me otherwise. She would not change her mind. I end up agreeing to buy a new flight. She couldn’t help me with buying a new flight and said I had to buy my flight myself either on my phone or on the airport computer. At this point I’m like, "So you work at the Easyjet info desk which is to help consumers book/buy flights but you aren’t able to help me with my flight..."

    In any case, I buy my flight on my phone and realized I booked for Oct 04 instead of Oct 3. I go upstairs, told her I just booked the flight like 2 minutes ago but I booked for the wrong day, can she change the flight for me. Julia says that for her to change the flight Easyjet will keep 40-50 euros for the change (don’t remember exactly but it was in the range).

    You can imagine how frustrated I was at this point. I compromise and purchase a new flight even though her colleague told me I would only have to pay the difference, I go and book my own flight because Julia, an Easyjet employee with a computer right in front her, says that she can’t help me, and on top of that they are charging me to change a flight that I literally had booked 2 minutes prior to talking to her. It just didn’t make any sense. Nowhere did I read that there is a 2 hour time limit on booking a new flight. Nowhere did I see that Easyjet would keep a portion of what you had paid just to change the flight on top of paying a difference.

    All I can say is DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE CHARGED FOR EVERY MINOR CHANGE/DETAIL. The employees are incompetent, inefficient, and most importantly DISHONEST. The customer service was absolutely horrid and honestly non-existent. Julia was not able to help me with anything but charge me more money. Easyjet employees are a reflection on the company and after this experience with them, I advise anyone and everyone to take their time and money elsewhere. It’s not worth it to fly this cheap airline.

    EasyJet lost our stroller/pushchair on a flight from Paris to Edinburgh. After a day of carrying a 1 year old, I called to see if a temporary replacement would be covered under their "emergency needs". I got a very vague non-committal response. We decided to buy a replacement (keeping it cheap and within the 1-day allowance in their policies). Well, I am glad we did. We went through the subsequent 2 weeks with EasyJet having no idea where our stroller was. I filed the claim for the replacement pushchair once we could. They took forever to reply. Then when they did, they asked for the receipt. I submitted that within hours of their request for it. Weeks later, and 3 follow-up emails, and I've heard nothing. I see that staff is posting my emails to my claim. But nothing more. They still owe us £69 for this replacement we had to get (and that was the cheapest we could find locally).

    The original stroller went to secondary tracing. Secondary tracing didn't find it until 2 days (supposedly) after I received an email that I should open a claim for the original stroller. I hadn't started a claim on that yet, so I figured I would wait for them to get it to me. I had very little information as time passed. I followed up in email (they actually were decent in replying to emails, at least), and they said they were sending it out on a specific flight at a specific time. They indicated that the receiving airline (since they don't operate in California, USA) would contact me when they receive it.

    A week went by, so I called Delta to find out where it is. They never received it from British Airways (was to be sent from EDI to Las Vegas via BA, then to California via Delta). Delta was helpful in telling me everything they could see based on a "Temporary" baggage tag number and claim number, which included info about the original claim and setup for shipping. They had no info on any scans for the baggage.

    I tried contacting British Airways to see if they had more information, and they were useless. They said they can't look anything up based on the temporary tag number. So, I have no idea if BA ever even received it to be sent to me. I contacted EasyJet Secondary Tracing again via email. They replied back and suggested that I just file a claim. Joy! Like their claims department is any better?! Sigh!

    So, I try to file a claim for the original bag. I get a message from the form website saying that my email already has a claim for that flight and to log in and get updates on that. What? People don't have more than one claim?? I guess I can try updating that one to add an additional loss. But given they aren't even replying on my claim at all (just adding my emails to the claim log 1-2 days after I send them), I am guessing I will get nowhere, and I will be at a loss of about $200 (between original stroller, and the money I had to spend on a second subpar stroller). I wonder if the credit card company I used to buy the ticket can do anything to reverse funds due to failure to deliver the service of delivering my luggage in whole.

    Legal recourse seems like it would be challenging since I'm in the US and they do not legally operate as a business in the US. All I can say is that every possible review site I find will be getting a copy of this review. Never ever ever ever fly EasyJet! I am appalled at the care of their customer. And a business that is this bad at handling their mistakes and not making things right with their customer does not deserve to be in business!

    The agent was helpful but the management adherence to the policies and no flexibility was a very negative experience for us. We had to change our dates by just one week with nearly 2 months notice and were just outside the 60 day window for the penalty increasing to £47 per person, that combined with the additional cost of the new flights plus all the additional excess baggage fees and legroom fees (they had to be paid again in full) meant that we moved our flights by one week and ended up paying £1000 in total for two flights that started life as £59/79 flights or similar.

    The policy is correct but the absolute lack of flexibility and the double charging of all extras is a real hit. We are now financially disadvantaged to a good tune and Easy Jet were very unsympathetic - just 'the policy states' - 'the policy states'. Most other places I have ever dealt with will try to help you as a customer in this respect but not Easy Jet. They must be very self-assured in a very competitive world, however they shouldn't be because me and my family will not use them again, not because of the policy but because of their lack of understanding and robotic response to a customer with needs.

    I faced discrimination in Berlin Germany. The lady embarrassed me when I tried combining my carry on with my personal item. She seemed very upset when I did not speak German. Then refused to speak to me in French even after I had heard her speaking French with another co-worker. I believe her unprofessionalism is a reflection of how the company treats the employees. Especially because easyJet has so many negative comments, it shows that the staff is miserable and poorly trained by the company. I am never flying easyJet again. I hope this company changes its ways.

    This is the first time I have taken the time to write a review of this nature. Paul ** of Easy Jet (Newcastle Based) stands out so much that he deserves it. I have met Paul inflight over 12 years and he is always smiling, laughing, reassuring, creating a positive atmosphere whilst clearly keeping a professional eye on all of his duties. I fly 4 times a week and he is the only Steward that remembers my face and even what I like to drink! There may be a 6-month gap when we are not on the same flight and I have no idea how he keeps that level of detail in his mind. There have been tough flights, fun flights and tiring delayed flights and he is always, always upbeat. A great sense of humour and attention to detail. Sparkles. Despite all the challenges that flying can bring he smooths them all out and you disembark feeling happy, untroubled and ready to roll. Thanks Paul! Keep being awesome. Looking forward to my next Bloody Mary inflight.

    I was enjoying a very nice weekend with my partner in Lyon, France, we traveled to France with friends on Saturday by car. I was a bit concerned because I had lost my passport but I had a photo of the passport and a current photo ID driving license. These proved ok getting across the channel via the tunnel and there was no problem, however after I passed through passport control at the airport I was told at the Easy Jet departure gate that I could not travel because I did not have the correct documents and was told to go to the Lyon British consulate and was led away from the departure gate leaving my partner alone to go back to Gatwick alone without transport to get her from the airport to her home. All she could do was get a taxi which would cost in excess of £60.

    To add to this problem having returned to Lyon I found out that there is no British consulate in Lyon now as it was closed down, so now I’m having to go by train to London and then to Gatwick. This had cost me time and a lot of money just because someone just couldn’t care less or make a judgment even though everybody else could, I’m too angry to say what I really feel but I’m sure you can fill in the blanks yourself.

    A surrealistic AWFUL experience! I arrived at the London Luton airport at 5:50 a.m. for my 6:55 a.m. flight, which should give me plenty of time to do the check-in
    ********NOTE TO APPROVER: review already published in https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/5a43f234a5b32906885d04cf********
    and security process. BUT, some Easyjet employee there at the check-in desk just printed my boarding pass wrong ( only had half of the barcode on it), I couldn't get through the entry gate. Therefore, I was sent back and forth between the entry gate and the check-in desk (yes, the staffs there were friendly, but really not helping at all. They were just been nice and kicking you around).
    That wrong boarding pass thing wasted me a lot of time. So not surprisingly, I missed my flight. When I spoke to one of their employees try to get my flight re-scheduled, he told me that my boarding pass was re-printed at 6:13, the gate closure was at 6: 40, SO I should have made the flight. Well, I was wondering how he thought 27 mins would be enough for me to get through all the people lined up there at the security check, Not to mention that I could have plenty of time if they just didn't print my boarding pass wrong!!!! !
    Also he told I have to pay extra 80 pounds for a tomorrow's flight! That's really outrageous, I haven't yet even asked them to refund my waste of time and my ruined trip!!! I had no choice but paid them the 80 pounds for the next flight.
    I've filed the claim on their website, hopefully I can get my refund and also cover my extra day of hotel expense.

    But I saw someone says that they are not honest with refunds? If anyone know how I can I make sure they gonna give me my refund, please help me, Thank you ! !

Thereafter they've been as difficult as possible and refuse to provide me with information required to submit an insurance claim for my significant losses. Having used them for many years without any major issues this experience has been a real eye opener. I wouldn't have believed it possible that any business reliant on goodwill would treat its customers with the level of contempt and dishonesty I've encountered here. Will never fly with them again.

And a funny part is they've responded to my email in a day or two but they were asking the exact same information but from the different person?? This must be one of this company's tactic to delay a refund. Maybe they just don't want to pay back... I really don't understand why they are doing this…

They canceled a flight 2 hrs before the departure time and they even did not explain why they canceled a flight. Regardless, we had an appointment at 8 am in Berlin next morning we can't miss so we had to find another transportation but could not find another flight from different airlines or train. Only option we had was to rent a a car. We asked an Easy Jet customer service if they would refund for a rental car and she said, “Yes we do absolutely.” That's how we ended up renting a car from Avis to get to Berlin that evening.

    I was traveling from Berlin, Schönefeld Airport to Malaga airport on the way home to New York City, USA. When I got to Malaga airport my luggage was nowhere to be found. I reported it missing and gave the description to EasyJet saying it was a black canvas case with yellow trim. Several days later they contacted me telling me the description was a black canvas, multi-colored case. They did not even get the description right. I’ve waited 21 days and nothing. After 21 days the policy requires that the passenger send in a claim. Their website does not work and I am not able to contact anyone by phone. They also require proof of receipt of every item that was in the lost luggage. How are you supposed to provide receipts of clothes that are many years old.

    Upon arrival at Boarding Gate, Porto airport on our return from honeymoon on the 5th September 2017 I was issued with a new seat number meaning that I would no longer be next to my wife. My wife a bit upset and wanting to know why but due to the fact that there were a lot of people behind us, I didn't want to make a fuss. When boarding the plane I asked the reason being and the hostess replied that it wasn't up to her so I took up my new seat only to discover that my original seat was taken by one man flying alone, whilst the man could've been given another seat as there were plenty of spare seats left upon take off. Why split up a couple just for one person to be sat next to my wife? I would not contest to the fact if I was flying alone. My wife finally joined me on the adjoining seat and the poor person to whom that seat had been allocated had to take my initial Seat as I did not see why I should be the one to move.

    This was the first time this had happened and I have travelled a lot over the globe. I don't like Easy Jet's policy where one's given a choice to reserve one's seat on Easy Jet's internet booking address but has to pay a supplement for it. Why! I thought your idea was to have competitive tariffs? So, if one doesn't pay more for one's seat, then they can just be sat at the last minute where your ** company wants them to sat and for NO apparent reason going by our experience. I've heard friends say the same thing but then, not everyone will take the time like myself to tell you. They simply won't fly with you AGAIN and my wife and I won't be either. Get your priorities and organisation in order before you start losing your clientele. People will talk and that's BAD publicity for you at Easy Jet.

    I have spent the last 14 months trying to claim compensation (expenses incurred of approx £550 for a canceled flight that was a fraction of this cost), having been promised by an Easy Jet customer service worker on the phone (verbal only) that I would be compensated without question. Eventually Easy Jet resorted to just ignoring my emails. I eventually went to the CEDR ombudsman/adjudicator who resolved the issue - I was paid back about half the amount claimed. I think it is totally unacceptable for Easy Jet to treat customers in this way. Lessons learnt: get it in writing! Use the ombudsman. Thank God that we have scope for arbitration. And it works!

    After paying for carry-on luggage during check-in and assured that I had paid the correct amount for my family's three carry-on luggages, when boarding the plane I was humiliated and it was demanded that I step out of line and wait to pay for one luggage again. My two children (girls age 11 & 14) boarded the plane before me and when I told the Easy Jet rep that I was holding both my luggage and my 11 year old's backpack, she did not believe me. I asked that she go on the plane and see that my child had nothing with her, but she refused. She then proceeded to embarrass me by scolding me and making me get out of line.

    To make things easy, I put the backpack in my carry on - which fit! - but then she said the middle of the bag was too wide (while others with much wider bags continued to board the plane). She demanded that I pay again for the bag or would not be allowed on the plane - even though my two children were already on. The supervisor came over and was just as rude and started to threaten that if I did not pay for the luggage, that she would call security. She refused to look at my luggage receipt or to count our bags already on the plane. I asked for her name and that of the woman associate, but she said that in France, they are not required to give their names.

    I eventually paid another 60 Euros for my luggage (which was substantially more than what was charged at check-in). I should also mention that they wanted me to pay in cash but I refused since I wanted the proof of a credit card receipt and the ability to dispute the charge. When I finally got on board, my 11 year old daughter was crying - very scared that she would be leaving France without her mother and not sure why I had not boarded the plane yet. I travel for work at least once a month, and I have never experienced such bad service and bad behavior by an airline. They should not be in business and this type of behavior by an airline should not be allowed! It was pure intimidation and extortion and incredibly unethical.

I had already paid for a cab to pick me up at Gatwick at 1 am. I refused to take that hotel as next flight was at 9 in the morning and went to a hotel close to the airport.

    They refused to pay the hotel expense, they refused to pay my cab and they refused to pay EC compensation.

The day of the flight, at 1:30 am, while we were asleep and some 4.5 hours before the change of departure time from 8 am to 6 am, Easy Jet emailed us of the change. We were unaware of this until arriving at the airport and missed the flight. We had to book on another airline to make our obligations in Faro the same day. The notification was so late and untimely that we would not have been able to alter our shuttle arrangements to the airport even if we had been monitoring our emails at 1:30 in the morning.

    They made my father buy a whole row of seats because he couldn't bend his leg. He paid £500 and they allocated seats stretching over another passenger and the aisle. The flight attendants told us to complain (you only need three seats if you need leg elevation apparently which we said we didn't need - there's easily loads of leg room in the seats anyway). 8 unreturned phone calls each lasting ca. 30 mins. No written response. Finally got to speak to a manager who made up 4 hilarious erroneous excuses for not giving a refund ranging from 'you used the seats' (er no) to 'you didn't pay for the seats in the first place' (er yes we did) to 'you had extra leg room seats' (er no... er) to 'you chose not to use the seats' (er... why would we?). So now I have to go to CEDA. They are disgraceful. Unfortunately I have to keep using them but I will never flush an Easy Jet toilet again!

    I was quite apprehensive about my domestic flight while vacationing in France (from Toulouse to Paris) due to a previous experience which wasn't super positive as I had to trash my carry-on baggage which didn't fit the dimensions just before boarding, wearing all my clothes on top of mine so I wouldn't pay a ridiculous fee to have it checked. This time, I was traveling with my infant daughter and from beginning to end, it was perfect: the staff from the counter to the plane was very attentive and Axel and his team went above and beyond to assign a seat for both of us. Even the pilot said hi to us which was great. I had an awesome time and would not only fly again with them but recommend them.

    Myself with my partner traveled from Belfast to Manchester with Easy Jet. I was pulled from my seat before take off and informed that I could not remain at my current seat due to my weight. How I was made a show off by staff asking other passengers to swap me seats as I was too heavy to remain seated in the seat I had selected. I cried the whole flight, East Jet ruined my holiday and I have since suffered from anxiety and stress due to the down right rude behavior of Easy Jet staff.

    Buyer beware. If there is at all any other way to make your travel plans I suggest using your alternative method. Their website and marketing material really make you think they are reputable and reasonable company to work with, yet when I have complained they have not had the decency to reply or apologize. They need to change the website to "Buyer Beware" and people should be informed that they do not provide any customer service or support whatsoever. Worst company I have ever dealt with.

    I had a very tough time communicating with EasyJet. No phone number in the U.S. and I even had to wait for chat to become available - waited a while. I had a special circumstance and I was trying to cancel a booking for NEAR full refund - reference number **. The circumstance is that the flight leading up to it earlier that day with Hahn Air Systems was cancelled. I provided proof to the EasyJet agent, Amrit (he wouldn't give me his I.D. number) during our chat conversation on 4/11/2017 that started at 9:40 am - Hahn Air Systems flight 277 leaving ZTH 10:20 am and arriving to Athens 11:15 am on June 6 2017.

    I needed to cancel the EasyJet flight ** which was EasyJet 4824 leaving ATH 2 pm and arriving in NAP 2:45 pm - as a result. This was about 55 DAYS OUT from the actual flight and I figured it won't be a problem for EasyJet to unload the seats as it IS A DIRECT FLIGHT WITH VERY FEW REMAINING SEATS. I'd already gone ahead and booked a different flight on the same day from ZTH to NAP - PART OF IT WITH EASYJET. I tried to get my money back for the original flight booking reference ** and was offered and had to accept a whopping $25.36 of the $176.22 that I paid.

    I did complete a Compensation Claim Form but received a strange response and Amrit did not provide me CONFIRMATION THAT IT WAS RECEIVED (per my request). So I filled out a Contact form as well and await response. I'm still looking for a larger portion of my money to be refunded. Going through Google, ConsumerAffairs, and the BBB, I read a lot of disturbing information that corroborates my experience. I think this is completely unscrupulous for a business to practice and massively profit with these hard line type of cancellation policies. My advice - obviously, don't take the chance with EasyJet. Shop elsewhere.

    Incredibly disappointed with my experience with easyJet. I understand that it is a nonrefundable airline. However I came down with a serious illness on the day of my flight and could not travel let alone get out of bed. When I called to cancel the rep on the phone told me I could be refunded if I obtained and sent a doctor's note. After doing so (in a foreign country) I sent in the information and was told I could only be refunded the tax on my flight. I choose NOT to travel for the safety and well-being of the other passengers and crew members. I'm sure they all appreciate that. You can bet I will NEVER choose to fly easyJet again and I will make sure everyone knows that. Just don't fly easyJet.

    After hearing such a lot about being able to claim for compensation for cancelled flights and having been delayed by 2 days 4 years ago, and my company not paying me for the 2 days off work which lead to me lose £300, I decided to claim. It was relatively easy at first but they took ages to settle, as I had friends with me on this flight I passed onto them about claiming. What a fiasco it turned out to be, we are, after nearly a year trying to get the rest of the compensation back. It appears Easy Jet cannot, despite many emails and phone calls, get the message that only I have had the compensation but not the others. It is so frustrating... Shame on you Easy Jet.

    We were greeted by a very unhappy baggage attendant who was angry to begin with. When we checked our bags we are charged more than on our first flight. We were also charged to check a carry-on, which on the first flight was said to be free. They were rude. The seats very tight and uncomfortable, and everything was an additional cost, even water when my mother was choking. They charged my daughter an extra 65.00 to change her name because it had her maiden name on it. She had a passport, visa, and Military ID with the same information but clearly they just wanted to make more money for a 2-second add in the computer.

We managed to force our "extra" bags into our cabin cases and boarded only to notice we were following numerous passengers carrying cabin bags, large backpacks AND carrier bags full of duty free goods!

    Very bad experience. We arrived 25 minutes before departure at the terminal because of the delay from our British Airways flight from Lima and the flight was disappeared in airport screens. In our boarding pass indicates that door closes 30 minutes before, but most companies say the same and then gate closes 5 or 10 minutes before departure. Anyway, it's disgusting that in case of delays not attributable to you, as in our case, it's impossible to access the plane only 30 or more minutes before, and because of the delay is not attributable to EasyJet, this company wash its hands. In fact, about 20 people flying with EasyJet to different destinations lost its flight due to the same reason. That's not normal. Just in case, I'll never fly with this airline.

The flight was delayed and we were even ask to move to another gate! I just wonder if the "flaw" of the app was not done on purpose so instead of paying a cheaper fee you end up getting charged a max! This would not surprise me. This was my worst experience ever.

I have approached Easy Jet counter again where they have confirmed the change and understood the situation of my connected flight and asked me to approach Lost and Found counter to pick up my luggage and approach the reservation staff to cancel the reservation and make new one as the change is for more than 5 hours where I am eligible for reimbursement of the rerouting charges, compensations of EUR 250 for each ticket and the other associated expenses connected with the disturbed plan.

I checked in the luggage again in Alitalia counter and I have been advised to call Easy Jet on Tel No. 0044 330 365 5454 which has been given to me by Easy Jet counter for compensation.

    Third Change - After I have finished checking in the luggage with Alitalia, I called Easy Jet as mentioned above for almost 27 minutes where I have been told that the flight scheduled has been changed for the third time to 11:55 am. It was not really expected that to have 3 changes of flight schedule within a very short period of time.

    They have ignored that there was a delay shown on the airport flight schedule for almost 6 hours. They have failed to provide a report for the reasons of delay. They have misguided me to take another flight and refused to pay me back the same... and finally they simply reject the claim and just offered drinks and sandwiches voucher.

    I travel with Easy Jet around 50 times a year (it used to be double that). The service offered apart from the odd delay is generally very good. However if you ever have to contact customer services it is a nightmare, particularly if they owe you money. Invariably they ignore emails and if they do reply they suggest you call them. Trying to call them is almost impossible without at least a 20 minute wait (usually followed by a mysterious dropping of the call). I always copy Ms McCall in on emails which sometimes gets an automated reply that they will contact you within 3 days.

    I also have a personal number which they have given out randomly to a few people so you can change flights without being charged. They usually answer the phone with minutes. However they can only phone customer service and ask them to contact me (which they usually do by email telling me to call them). I recently tried to get them to cancel my Easy Jet+ card automatic renewal. A month later I still can't get through to a human being in customer services. What can you say except I am not surprised there are many irate customers out there.

Which was exactly what I did. To help other passengers, but, mostly, THEIR COMPANY. And what do I find by arriving to Berlin? Not only did they lose my bag (as I learned later - it never even left Nice!), but now they're claiming that it was me who forgot it in the first place and it was oh so kind of them to just bring it to Berlin. And now they're refusing to deliver it!!

    Easy Jet, who asked for my bag, as a favor, never even boarded it on the plane and now wants to make me go all the way to the airport to pick it up myself?! On top of all, there are prescription meds inside this bag, that I need urgently and can't get from a doctor right away. They costed me time, nerves, money and now health. That was the last time ever I agreed to "kindly cooperate" with that company. It's not worth the saved money.

Why weren't we informed while waiting in a Long long Queue? Had we received an email, informing us about the issue we could have booked another flight with a different airline and claim it on our travel insurance.

    Of course we had accommodation booked in Nice, car rental etc. that we had to reorganize. This whole incident gave a terrible start to our long awaited holiday and we lost our time in Nice.

    I booked an EasyJet flight from Bordeaux to Geneva. The lounge was filled with non-functioning electrical plugs, but that is a minor inconvenience. The flight staff began soliciting passengers to give up their seats because the flight was overbooked about 1.5 hours pre-flight, but all they offered was to pay for their hotel room, with no other compensation, so of course no one volunteered. This continued, and then they delayed the flight 1 hour. They continued trying to solicit customers to give up their seats, and of course no one wanted to since there was no compensation. They continued to hold our flight hostage until almost 2 hours (1 hour, 50 minutes) after the time of departure.

    At this point, many people were no longer able to catch a train home, which could cost each passenger in such a situation hundreds of dollars to pay for taxi rides. If they had offered a few hundred dollar voucher for people to give up their seats, like most professional airlines, people may have given up their seats and everyone would have gotten home closer to the expected time. I gave up flying them for 2 years and then got sucked back in to buying their crappy service. Hopefully now I have learned my lesson.

On July 10th, just two hours before our flight from NY to Nice we received a text message from EasyJet that our flight on July 12th from Nice to Rome was cancelled due to a fire at Rome Fiumicino on May 7, 2015!!! This was ridiculous as we had bought our tickets on June 20, over a month and half after the fire and EasyJet should not have even confirmed a booking if they could not fly us between the two cities.

    We made many frantic calls to the UK from the US to EasyJet non-toll free numbers. The agents were quite unhelpful and basically suggested to take a refund and find our way to Rome some other way. After many checks we did we found an EasyJet flight on the same day July 12th in the afternoon from Nice to Rome (go figure) and told the agents about it. The agents were not even aware of this flight and after our insistence they said there was room for the three of us and were able to book us on this flight 13 hour later than our morning flight. The second flight was also delayed over 3 hours and we got to Rome at 12 midnight losing our whole planned day in Rome.

    Our return from Rome with EasyJet was scheduled for July 17th. Again on July 15th we received a text message with the same content informing us of the fire at Rome Airport back on May 7th and that our return flight had to be cancelled. This time we could not find an alternate EasyJet flight and had to book a day later on a Vueling (Iberia) flight and paid much higher to get back to Nice. As a result we ended up paying for extra hotel room nights, extra car rentals in Nice and Rome and many ancillary costs as well as additional cost for our return substitute flight. Our calls and claims to EasyJet went unanswered and their silly customer service system was non-responsive. Overall this EasyJet experience cost us about $950 extra and a lot of aggravation. I do intend to sue them in UK.

    To all of you who think this airline is cheap and will get you to your destination think again. It's not worth the hassle. Book early on some other airline and save that way and avoid the aggravation. Someone needs to make a video of this airline's mess-ups and publicize how bad they are.

    I am writing about a recent booking experience. This is for flights to Tenerife in March 2016 for 2 adults. I booked the holiday to meet up with 2 relatives from 6TH March to 15TH March. This was the first opportunity to book flights for this date and destination. The confirmation went to my wife's email address. When she came home from work later yesterday she saw the email and to my horror I had inputted a wrong date, the 14th instead of the 15th. A genuine mistake. I hoped you would be helpful and change the date.

    I spent 2 hours waiting on the phone just after 6:00 pm, after an hour was connected but the call disconnected. I waited another hour which took me after 8:00 pm (when you close) and the call was disconnected without me talking to an advisor. This was pretty frustrating. I then sent an email form from your website to highlight my mistake only to get an email back to say it could take 7 days for a reply which is totally unsatisfactory. At 8.00 am this morning we phoned again and got through. I was so disappointed to find the extreme cost of my mistake of clicking an incorrect box.

    I was told there would be £40 admin costs per person and in the space of 24 hours the cost of the return flights had risen by 80%. We have used easy jet for years and appreciate the budget airline philosophy. Your company and other similar operators have helped us access flights we would not have been able to afford. I have retired this last 2 years and have been fortunate to arrange up to 2 holidays per year using easy jet... This cost has been met by me by saving or using credit cards and using the year to pay this off. I am not particularly wealthy but wanted to have this spending focus in the retirement years. The cost has now risen by 80% as I have said which is an absolute bombshell. I had hoped your customer service provision would appreciate these minor mistakes can happen and have a system in place to help to rectify the mistake especially at an early stage after booking.

    Today's communication and outcome. My wife made the call at 8.00 am and was told about the huge costs. The advisor said they would waiver the admin costs (not sure if it was £40 per person or just a flat £40 fee). The advisor told her the cost would be £124 more (the new cost of the flight??) which she paid. She asked if the new booking would include the same reserved seats and baggage allowance booked yesterday. She was assured everything would be exactly the same.

    We received the new email re the booking. This showed £146.88 had been taken from her card not £124 as stated and the reserved seats were different. The £124 was stated by the advisor on a number of times so she is definite she was not mistaken. Another phone call and nearly an hour to wait to be connected to an advisor. We were told the seats were correct but after asking to check this advisor apologized for your mistake and we would not be charged for changing the seats.

    I did try to make a point to the advisor and this is probably the most important point of this long email. The seat mistake by the previous advisor highlighted how easy it is to make a genuine mistake. The advisor did change the seats to our selection. The cost was not altered to the original £124 due to the seats going up £72 each in under 24 hours. This is not even a high season date or a very different change in dates. The cost of changing has been very excessive. I do truly believe that given you were contacted as quickly as possible the first cost should have been honored. A small admin fee (£10 - £20) probably would have been acceptable. But to pay 146.88 on top of 380+ is an extremely high price to pay for changing a flight with only one day difference. The whole process of trying to contact you and rectifying a basic mistake has been extremely frustrating and quite distressing.

    Easy Jet insisted that we travel from our home to Gatwick airport for a flight that was cancelled due to the French air traffic control strikes on 9th April, but said that they would compensate us for our unnecessary travel costs. This still remains unresolved 3 months later on 14th July, even though Easy Jet have agreed payment since an email on 10th June requesting my card details so that payment can be made. I have sent my card details twice now, but Easy Jet have still been unable to make the payment. In total I have had to phone Easy Jet 10 times, waiting an average of 15 minutes before I get to speak to someone. I have emailed more than 10 times. And I have written and posted a letter to Easy Jet Customer Services at Luton Airport.

    The Customer Services processes are shambolic. They have sent me emails with a Reference ID (e.g. **), but when I phone up they are not able to find this Reference ID. They have sent me emails asking for the last 4 digits of my card so that payment can be made, but when I have sent the last 4 digits there has still been no payment. Most of all, nobody ever seems to be in a position to take any action to resolve anything, so my compensation claim has just rumbled on and on without ever been resolved. I am always told that no action can be taken while I am on the phone, but that Easy Jet will phone me back in the next 24 hours to resolve things. But Easy Jet have never called me back once, not even in 24 days let alone 24 hours.

    On July 3rd I couldn't board the plane because they over sold tickets for this flight... I had to stay in a hotel that they paid for and they said that I could take the next flight one day after. After this they told me that I was going to get 250 dollars for 2 tickets, mine and my wife. Now I'm trying to contact them and I haven't been able to talk with anyone they even closed my online account with no reason. AND I'M STILL WAITING THE 250 DOLLARS but not only that... Obviously I had a hotel reservation at Palermo which I had to change and I also lost money on that and the car rental too. So IF YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU.

    At check-in Fiumicino Sat May 9 we were advised by a staff member our flight was cancelled. "Please queue in that line for advice" we were told. The Airport had sustained a fire and airlines were forced to cancel flights so we weren't overly surprised. At the counter the cancellation was confirmed and we were advised of available flights over the next two days. As they were unsuitable we left but were given the standard form covering Cancellation Disruption compensation etc. An expensive booking with Vueling later got us to our destination. On return to NZ we contacted Easy Jet to discuss compensation and were told there had been no cancellation and we were No Shows. Fantastic. Have made 4 phone calls to date and they have sent 4 emails to Rome for verification of our story. No response as yet. We don't give up either as they will learn.

    Last April, 4 of us flew from Paris to Barcelona via Easyjet. We were late boarding so their customer service at the airport advised 3 of us to take the flight and leave our luggage with my friend who can take the next flight. We will only pay 80 as rescue fee by doing that. However, when my friend was boarding, he was told to buy a new ticket, plus pay extra for all our prepaid luggages! When I got home, I contacted their customer service and there was probably 10 people I dealt with and each time, I had to explain again what happened as they never log conversations with client.

    They are all unhelpful and smug, sending me copy of their policies like I'm some kind of an idiot. They keep on reiterating that I was late (but they didn't care that their flight was 2 hrs late but I had to pay because I was late 5 min). Just goes to show they don't listen. Anyway, we agreed to pay so that's not the issue. The issue is very simple, they told us to pay for a fee which we agreed and then charged us another. They are like thieves! The last person I dealt with even had the audacity to say 'I hope to see you onboard our flight again'. That's how insensitive and clueless they are. It's like talking to machines! I will avoid Easyjet like the plague!

    I flew EasyJet for the first time recently, London-Cyprus. I purchased an Exit Row seat, which meant that I was entitled to a larger carry-on bag as a Speedy Boarding passenger. I didn't realize this was the case, and because the gate was announced only 40 minutes prior to departure and it was a 15 minute walk to the gate, by the time I arrived all of the Speedy Boarding passengers had already boarded the plane. There was only one line, and as I approached the gate agent he told me my bag was too large -- before even looking at my boarding pass. He gestured to the gauge they use for non Speedy Boarding bags, which is 15 cm smaller than what I was allowed as a Speedy Boarding passenger. I did try to fit my bag in the gauge, but because the gauge is smaller than other airlines, my bag didn't fit. The gate agent charged me an extra 45 GBP -- nearly the same price as my ticket -- to check my bag in the hold.

    I was so stunned that my carry on bag, which has made at least 100 trips with me in overhead bins on 20+ airlines (including RyanAir, which I fly regularly since I live in Ireland), was too big for the EasyJet gauge. So I did a bit of research and discovered that (i) EasyJet's size limit for non-Speedy Boarding passengers is 10 cm smaller than other airlines and (ii) my carry-on bag was well within the 55x45x25 limit which applied to me as a Speedy Boarder. I didn't realize this because it was my first experience with EasyJet. But the gate agent would have realized it if he'd looked at my boarding pass before he asked me for my credit card and charged me 45 GBP for my bag.

    I wrote to EasyJet and sent a photograph of my carry on bag, sized, which clearly showed that the bag was within the size limit; and I asked for a refund. A week later I got a response saying, essentially, that EJ personnel are trained professionals and they're always right. The Airline obviously dismissed my point that the agent proclaimed by bag too large without looking at my boarding pass first to see whether or not I was entitled to the larger bag allowance. It's worth noting that the flight was full and that dozens of people were similarly told their bags were too large; so EasyJet may have doubled its ticket revenue with bag charges. But interestingly, no one on the plane had any belongings stored in the seat in front of them -- so in fact, EasyJet's policy isn't about a shortage of space on the plane, it's about revenue. Beware.

    Yesterday evening, after my business meetings in Geneva, I proceeded to Airport about 2.5 hours before the flight to Amsterdam. We passed through the long security queue and arrived to the gate about 50 minutes before the flight departure. On the boarding pass, it is written that gate closes at 18.20, we were at the gate at 18.26 and before that we were sitting in the hall about 200 mt to the gate. We have seen last people proceeding in front of us going to the flight. Lady at the counter said it is closed. In the same time, on the screens it was clearly written that the flight "is boarding". Gate is not closed according to the screens. She claimed that she announced our names but we never heard any announcement at all. Because we were just sitting close to the gate. There are still comfortably 20-25 minutes at least to the scheduled time and we talk about Easyjet which almost never departs on time. She rejected us by saying that "this is not a bus". We tried to get over the shock as we see the plane in front of us and it is not leaving nor fully prepared at all.

    Anyway, we found out that the flight was the last flight of the evening to Amsterdam. Easyjet customer service could offer a morning flight for only 1 seat at 06.55 next day. So, one of us could not fly with a fine of CHF 100 each. We bought tickets for about CHF 160 return each. We paid CHF 470 each to fly from Geneva to Brussels and rented a car from Brussels to Amsterdam for EUR 170 and arrived home at 01.00 am instead of 20.10 pm.

    Easyjet staff were extremely rude, ill-mannered and they did not act helpful at all. Customer service guy said there is only one seat at tomorrow's flight but I need to ask my manager. He went inside for 2 minutes and came back. He said there is no seat. These acts were all fake. They did these on purpose to force people pay extra fees. Their staff is extremely unprofessional and immature with their comments, acts and responses. I flew with them in various airports in Europe, easyjet staff are always rude, never helpful but only Geneva staff is such ill-mannered. Easyjet is the worst service provider ever and they only think of the money in your pockets, nothing else. How can you respect their people, staff, owners? Are they proud of themselves?

    Easy Jet cancelled my daughter’s flight from Bulgaria in April and could not offer another flight for 3 weeks. They told her that she had to pick up her own bills until then and claim them when she returned. Because she could not afford to stay in Bulgaria for another 3 weeks, she used another carrier. Easy Jet is now refusing to pay up, despite the fact that they broke the EU law in failing in their duty of care to look after passengers whose flights they have cancelled. Now the insurance company is looking at ways of getting out of paying for the cancelled flight.

    My message to the Head of Operations of Easyjet this past Friday 18/12/09 and no response: What a horrible experience with your airline. I was the first to arrive at the airport 2 hours before my flight at Gatwick to have to stand in a queue that stretched outside the terminal into the cold and wait for over an hour (not so much as a warm cup of liquid to tide the time and inconvenience of an extensive wait). Then to be handed a photocopied sheet of paper indicating my flight had been cancelled with the request that I call a customer service number at 7:30am, although your customer service center did not open until 9am. And then to add insult to injury, the indication that the call would be charged at 10p per minute or more from a mobile!

    What sort of operation are you running? Why were the same flights with British Airways and Thomson to Marrakech able to leave today, and yet Easyjet could not fly its customers to Marrakech or other cancelled destinations? Why could you not put on more flights as the weather cleared? I would not be so angry if it were not for your incompetence. The weather forecast was known for days in advance, and you were unprepared as an airline to manage the crew numbers needed should delays occur. You were not prepared to overwork your staff but did not resource up to manage the flow-on effect that the weather would have on your operation.

    You also did nothing to advise your customers travelling from across Britain to catch their flights that their flights were likely to be delayed or cancelled. You have my details, and I received nothing from you; no warning. I wasted my time getting up at 3am and fuel driving to travel to Gatwick where I then waited for over an hour in a queue in freezing weather to then be passed a slip of paper by a person from Menzies, not even an Easyjet staff member, and told the flight was cancelled and to come on another day.

    Wake up and realize that your brand suffers every time you treat your customers like this. Those affected also tell others. It is an open market and every one of your customers is now working harder than ever before to keep their jobs. I certainly will be re-considering whether to use Easyjet again. The experience today was nothing less than disgraceful; and frankly, I'd rather give my hard earned money to an airline that cares about its customers and has the foresight to plan its operation effectively and with courtesy. I saw neither of this today. You need to seriously lift your game.

    EasyJet – Buyer beware!

    I'm still in shock, but I'll keep this short. Today I flew from London to Barcelona. I paid for two bags on the EasyJet website. One bag allowance was equal to 20 kg, so I presumed that two bags would allow 20 kg more - like all airlines do. I had two pieces of luggage: one 20kg, one 10kg.

    At check in, I was told that I had to pay 100 pounds in addition to the 9 pounds extra I paid online for the second bag. Apparently, no matter how many bags you check in, your maximum will always be 20kg. Buying more bags apparently does not mean you get more weight to carry. I fly for a living, and this is the first time an airline has ever so sneakily inserted hidden fees like this. A gentleman next to me was livid because he was asked to pay 400 pounds for four bags he had applied for online (as I did). I then spoke to at least 5 other people around me at the airport, and none of them were aware of this rule.

    I spoke to four employees and demanded to speak to a manager. All of them said that there was none available. All of them repeatedly said that the policy on the website says, "20 kgs. max", but it is simply not clear enough. Had I known that an extra bag would cost four times the amount of the flight, I would have gone to another airline. I called customer service while I waited to board the plane. The agent was nice and calm, and repeatedly told me that the policy is stated online. I then repeatedly told him that this policy needs to be made much clearer on the website, and that they cannot continue to trick their customers into thinking that when they purchase an extra bag at 9 UK pounds that they are covered for a second check in item.

    In their baggage policy, they write that you can check in up to 9 bags (at 9 pounds per bag). But how in the world is that even possible if the maximum weight of all bags is 20kg? You would have to be packing cotton or air for that to make any sense. It is unethical what Easyjet is doing. Their policy is intentionally misleading their customers and this cannot continue to happen.

    I saved for this holiday out of my pension, so that I could see my friend in Portugal, as I had not seen her since moving there. Also, I have not had a holiday for over 10 years. As it was, I was really nervous about flying, but I managed it anyway. But I feel now I should have stayed at home as all elements to do with the travel were against me.

    There's no help from staff, and they're very matter of fact. It was nearly 2 hours late arriving for destination out and over 1 1/2 hour late back home. As I have never used the internet before for flights, I felt there was not enough contact about the do's and dont's of travel. And as it was, my friends bought me a bottle of Porto as a present to bring home, and it was taken away for destroying.

    I used to watch your program on the TV every time, and I thought how awful people were to your staff and even your self (Stellios). I always thought that most of the time they were out of line, but now, I can see that they were right and I will never ever fly with you again.

    I am hoping you can help me with this. I have had no luck with Easy Jet so I am hoping you might be able to suggest ways and means please. I have also had no luck with any organizations in the UK. I am contacting you regarding Easy Jet and the way they treated me whilst traveling with them recently. I have had not much luck in getting a decent response from them, having sent 4-5 letters and emails to their customer services department and all senior members of management. I have had replies to my emails but they always seem to skip past the crucial points and ultimately in effect unfairly lay the blame on me.

    In short, I broke my arm on a snowboarding holiday, and when I came to check in at Lyon airport, I was forced to remove my cast completely (with a Stanley knife borrowed from a news agent) whilst the check-in members of staff were very rude, obnoxious and seemed to find the whole situation very funny. These staff members broke Easy Jet's regulations which state passengers traveling with a plaster cast that has been fitted for less than 48 hours then the cast needs to be split (the split needs to run along the entire length of the cast). If the plaster cast had been fitted for more than 48 hours, there is no requirement for the cast to be split?

    Unfortunately for me, my medical certificate did not show the time my cast was fitted, just the date. My cast had been on for over 52 hours and even though I asked if the supervisor could make a simple phone call to the hospital (using my phone) to clarify this, she refused and told me that the only way I could board my flight was by entirely removing my cast. I was left with a broken, unsupported limb. No medical help was offered or available when I asked for help. Making me cut my cast off breaks their regulations completely and their duty of care towards me as a passenger. These regulations are there to protect passengers, but this staff member's incompetence could have rendered my arm paralyzed. If this appalling attitude continues, then I feel that another passenger may not be as fortunate as I was to escape serious injury.
