A letter and email was sent but surprise, surprise I'm still awaiting a reply.

Are EJ 'better' than Ryanair?
Would like to know, have used Ryanair many times and although never had any bad experiences like Ian I always feel like I,ve been 'done' for some reason I cant explain!
I guess its little things like their stupid rules for not allowing 'pooling' of luggage weights & no recline on the plane seats.
So if you have used RA or EJ which do you prefer & why?

Never had any problems with EJ but my preferred option would be BA 8)

Same here but BA usually more expensive ( not always though)

Personally I try to avoid using the so called budget airlines, in my experience if you are prepared to book way in advance say six months, you can bag a deal with just about all of the major airline companys. To date I have booked return flights from Manchester to Munich in Febuary for £98 Inc taxes & ski carriage with Luftansa.
As for Easy Jet, had to get home in a hurry from Geneva about six years ago & EJ charged 399 Swiss francs one way, short notice, empty flight. Had no choice but to pay up & put up.

For the cheap flights you have to book in advance the nearer flight date the more expensive they become 8)

I try and use BA, solid, reasonably priced and airmiles. However Easyjet just announced Geneva -Newcastle in winter which could come in very handy. It's bloody impossible to fly to Newcastle direct from Southern Germany and only marginally less from Switzerland.

Also BA extended my Gold Membership by 12 months by means of apology for the industrial action that didn't affect me in the slightest.
