And off course there was the announcement (made at least 12 times) that "there is no food on board EasyJet you must buy food at the restaurant to take on board" -

Oh Oh!! A barefaced lie to have the unsuspecting take out a mortgage on a slice of pizza or sandwich!!

Left Hurghada at 9pm not 5:35pm (Monday) arrived Gatwick 12:30am Tuesday.

Hi Rod sorry to hear about the delays you had. I came back on last Friday. Fortunately no delays. And yes buying anything at the airport was a clear rip off. I paid 9 UK £ for a cup of coffee and a box of Egyptian sweets. When I opened the box to my surprise there were 4 small pieces of some sticky, tasteless sweets coated in white powdery stuff.

Hi we had something like a 27 hour delay with Easyjet but didnt mind as got transferred to 5 star hotel with 2 rooms that was fab. Upon check in again the next day we were also told no food or drink would be available on the flight due to the cancelled flight the day before - we knew it was total bull but many unsuspecting holiday makers were spending a fortune at the airport - we did get a breakfast box on leaving hotel in the early hours but no juice or water supplied so many made a dash to get beverages at rip off prices in the cafeteria area of the airport. Easyjet had loads of drink and food on board. Arrived Sharm 3pm on a Sunday and left Sharm after 8am next day! Should have arrived back to UK Sunay night ready for work on Monday but didnt arrive until Monday afternoon so hd to take another days annual leave which was carried forward to this year. Hubby S/E and didnt get paid!

Hi All
Just returned last week from Hurghada with Thomas cook, I don't think we will be using them again, the seats are very close together and when the person in front put their seat back I felt very closed in a little space , a lot of people were commenting about the room or lack of it.
Just booked to return in May so I am trying easy jet have been told that the leg room is quite good.

I must admit easyjet was more than I expected. no problems on check in and the leg room was perfect.

Hi
Yes it does work in Hurghada, they are very good about it. They always let the speedy boarders go first, then the assisted, then the A's and finally the rest. It works well both ways. Hope this helps you.

Just had an e-mail from Easyjet re: our flights to Hurghada in the summer. Due to alterations to landing and take-off slots our return flight from Hurghada to Gatwick will now leave 5 minutes later than scheduled, no change to the outbound flight.

Hi, you must be on the same flight back as my daughter, I just checked and it is only 5 mins and Hubby will be on the one coming in. We thought at first there was a lot of time difference!!! Not bad at all.

Hi
I agree, we never mind when we get delayed whilst abroad!! We can't wait until we go out in July and wished I had booked the whole six weeks!! Never mind next time.
