1) I travelled with Ryan many times to Lotun and once to Pisa, what I can say is that the flights were ALWAYS ON TIME. On the other hand service is a disaster on the plane, and true people are stupid to rush for a seat. If you purchased a ticket than there is a place for you on the plan! Timing is another issue, but going to central UK is convenient...
2) I went to Spain with Easyjet (from UK) and flight, plane and service was excellent. I am going to UK in 2 weeks time and looking forward - going with easyjet.
3) AirMalta have no idea what on time means. Ask the people who fly often from the UK, if they tell you that the flight was on time, than they are very lucky. My mum 2 weeks ago came from Tunis - 8 hours delay and I am not joking. Mine was from Birmingham - 3 hours delay. Though service is great and feel more safe on the plane!
Last time airmalta did similar offer when they launched the new site, I was really irritated since when going to buy the tickets, the prices were very high to the once advertised and for me they lose credibility in this way. I have not bothered to check today but I bet it is the same. This is why competition is nice!
I have flown with Easyjeyt from Bristol to France for a skiing holiday & thought that they blew Ryanair, Air Malta & British Airways out of the water. Although seats still aren't allocated, you do get 20kgs of luggage, pleasant, friendly and English speaking cabin crew and new, clean planes. Needless to say I was very impressed, especially when all this cost us £65 return each including taxes. Other airlines could learn a thing or two from Easyjet!
They also give 23Kg for baggage and no weight limit for hand luggage.
Going back to Ryan Air though, I have always found them more expensive than most airlines, by the time you add you baggage to the costs.
Has anyone flown with EasyJet yet, since their flights came into force?
