Profuse apologies. Why should anyone understand how every company in this country works? If you really don't understand, use Google.
I do find it most galling when people compare two shops. One sells something for £4.99, the other for £5.99 and the second gets accused of ripping off the customer. Watchdog and similar silly programmes tend to do this a lot.

Also, they don't say they are cheap. That's a really bad thing for a company to say. They say instead 'Europes leading low cost airline', which doesn't mean anything really does it! Easyjet have always been fine for us in the past.

I think what people object to PM is not what you have to say, but that you insist on being so rude and patronising in saying it.

EasyJet a ripoff ??? - just check the "standard" fares from BA/TAP or any other "flag carrier" and I think you'll find them pretty reasonable when you take timing and prebooking into account.

No business sells things cheaper then they need to - our old mate supply and demand again

Yep.... plan ahead with EJ. July and August flights cost me £75 pp return inc taxes this year from EMA. Even got a new Airbus on it's maiden flight a couple of weeks ago. Not bad for £50 return inc taxes. Coffee is still **** though.

Just goes to prove you shouldn't believe everything google tells you!

Depends normally on how far in advance you book but mostly on how full the plane is. The last seat sold is usually the most expensive

As far as possible I book EJ as soon as the new schedule comes out. 11 visits so far this year. Ave cost £56pp but on one occasion last year when I had to make a last minute return to the UK the one way cost was €130.

A little tip:- If you travel as a largish family/group it sometimes pays to book individually ie if your search for say 4 seats puts you into a higher bracket then all your seats will be at the highest price. Always try for one person first. This gives you a chance of getting some of your tickets at a lower rate. You can check availability for up to 40 seats so you will always know that seats on the plane
