After watching Airline, which follows ‘Easyjet’ in a T.V.
reality programme, has put me off from ever flying with
them. If i was them, i would of thought twice of doing this programme as it only shows what a bad company they are.

I flew Easyjet to Rome myself, and I have to say that my experience was pretty similar to yours

Dear Easyjet:

You are the most hopeless airline that I have ever travelled with. I have today been disappointed by your non-existent efforts to help me in Bristol, blatently lied to regarding your obligation to me to provide me transport and accomodation in the event of a non-flight and bullied by your unpleasant, red-headed manageress in Bristol, whoever the hell she was. This is not the first time I have experienced you screwing things up and leaving all your passengers with no assistance whatsoever and nobody to turn to in a foreign country, like so many turds in the pan. When I flew to Rome with you around Christmas 2004, you flew to the wrong airport, turned us out of the plane and left us alone, late at night, without a word. You are truely a company that appears to be run by screwups and I will never, ever fly with you again.

For leaving a really foul taste in my mouth at the end of what was otherwise a wonderful Christmas, fuck you all and I hope your miserable lying company of under-achievers goes down the pan soon.

Explain this one to me chaps - a 4 digit pin has 9999 combinations. You can only guess three times before the card is chewed.

Thats a one in 3,333 chance that a thief can use your card. Were those odds not safe enough and so your bank had to choose 8 digits in order to push the odds up to 33,333,333. I have 4 cards - that means I would have to remember 32 digits in order? Good grief.

As for easyjet - they are possibly the worst airline I have ever flown with and that includes some airlines in north west africa. But I suppose you get what you pay for but my God they are shit.
And the worst is I still booked another flight through them knowing how shit they are.
And those disgusting faded orange uniforms…

Mikell -

No, unfortunately, I never made it to a Wagamama, even though it looked seriously enticing. It was some other shop along the way from Victoria station to Buckingham Palace. Pretty yummy, but just regular-tech. I’ll have to try Wagamama sometime.

Grant -

Yes, the ATMs are a big problem. My BofA card is an 8-digit. I ran into that exact problem in Rome and totally forgot to write about it. I will add it to the post. My wife, fortunately, has only a 4-digit PIN. Whew.

Asian noodle shop in London == Wagamama? That’s a great place. I love the PDAs they use for orders.

And I agree on the tomato/basil/mozzerella salad. Best version of that I had was in the Tuilleries in Paris on a really pretty afternoon. It’s an excellent summer meal.

About those ATMs, just a little word of warning. When I was over in London and Paris in Partner Year I had a 7-digit PIN. About half of the ATMs would only accept up to 6 digits, however, and then reject my card as I frantically tried to convince it that, yes, there is another digit! Push came to shove when an ATM finally ate my card (at Charles de Gaulle airport no less).

So this might not even apply to you, but be warned.
