Meanwhile in other news, Travel Watch are urging the government to take SleazyJet to task for their profiteering. EasyJet Tossers You refer to Easyjet as Sleazyjet but in all honesty I have never had a problem with them, in my opinion they are fantastic. The only time there was an issue was when those slackers (French Air Control) went on strike (When are they not on strike?) which affected mine and thousands others' flights, I was refunded for my flights, my hotel costs and my hire car costs in full...they were brilliant. I only have the highest praise for Easyjet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was better customer service at Auschwitz than at Liverpool airport's EZY gates too, as a side issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Max Power said: But it wasn't just a few Manx flights John, it was over almost their entire network where they shared similar destinations with FlyBe. A friend in the UK paid £600 to get an EZY one way flight from Paris to Manchester after the collapse and loss of her return ticket for example. It’s just their algorithm however. Based on number of seats sold/unsold, proximity to travel date and demand ( seats sold in last 6/12/18/24 hours) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 After this the airline market will have shrunk hugely. Only the biggest will survive, state-backed like Etihad and Qatar will fare better, and that's after huge amounts of job losses. There will be lots of bargains though the minute they announce normal service is resumed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyJet Tossers easyJet, are bigger, richer, smarter and much more agile than IOMG. There's no point in our government taking them on, in any shape or form. What's done, is done. Terry Liddiard made a big contribution to Manx aviation, but it's 2020, and he's yesterday's man, seeing everything through a 1990's prism. We cannot afford to fall out with them, as they provide vital volume capacity to Liverpool and London. When all this virus stuff settles down, a very different aviation industry will emerge, and easyJet will still be a significant player. Taking them on, in an argument which IOMG can't possibly win, would be very foolhardy. Edited March 15, 2020 by Nellie 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure - one alternative possibility (especially on long haul routes) is that they whack the fares right up to take account of the lost revenue, perhaps expecting that there will be plenty of pent up demand for seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max, I know of people who have sat at their PC for hours punching in their flight times , time and time again, only to realise that they are making their own flight dearer each time they try. We all have to keep up these days, as there is no room for fools. Edited March 15, 2020 by dilligaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxberry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Once again, I'll repeat that we're about to see major airlines fail completely. Stop bitching about a short term rise in ticket price, it's simply because it's so popular and people are paying it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 RIGHT, fuck it. Ive actually decided to part with my hard earned and book wtih this ettyl lot when they open tonight. Not to really go anywhere, just to fly on that beautiful BA dornier.
