I think that is a pretty good price. You can track price drops on www.yapta.com. They will notify you of any possible refund.

Peace,

depends on when your trip is. if its soon thats good. if its 6 months down the road maybe could have done better.

When was the last time you actually checked the easyjet website? or are we still dealing in assumptions?

My next trip.
Easyjet.
Depart Edinburgh 07:30
Arrive Amsterdam 09:55

Depart Amsterdam 21:30
Arrive Edinburgh 22:00

Under £100.

I look & compare quite often for whats its worth twitch,I dont have a credit card anyways so i cant book by myself from here,& the agents i do use dont book with easyjet! just KLM & british airways it seems,Well on the amsterdam route it is anyways,Ps i have found there have been little difference between KLM & Easyjet most of the times ive went like! thou i did travel once with EJ back in 2002,Like i said before man ive been going for 10 years now & the last 4 trips have been solo`s for like 10/12 days at a time so i am no mug,I weigh & plan everything! right down to the train times & even the platform its gona be at.


Just looking now & i would have to be at the airport for 5am to check in with easyjet :?,Also the flight & baggage charges all in would be £78.98,Ok twitch its less than KLM charge but for silly money is it worth going out of you way for? also i would have to leave my house at like 3/3.30am anyways :o & i would need a taxi at the time of the morning thus wiping out any saving i may have had with easytjet in the 1st place,Ok KLM are more expensive but they give me what i want + ive got peice of mind that if my plane doesnt show i would get re booked on another flight out,& with easyjet you would need to re book alright! with your own money :lol:.

Na twitch cheers for pointing out the availability of morning seats with EJ man but i think your way would cause more problems that it solves for me! if anything it would cost me more overall maybe lol,Also not forgeting the added hasstles of an early start with hardly any kip & then having to lug my stuff about the streets untill check in time! furthermore i am a member of the KLM frequent flyer programe also so i do get some air miles in my account when i book with um + other perks ie money off car hire etc thats if i were to spend more odviously,Truth is the place i am at right now is good & i am even steven at the end of it all more or less,Tot ziens 8).

What's wrong with being at the airport for 5am though? I can never freakin sleep anyway cos I am that excited!! :lol: I live about 30 miles from East Mids and paid £60 return with BMIbaby. I couldn't get a cab from my house to Nottingham return for £60 so I am really happy with the price of the flight.

I really feel for you guys in the states - your flight prices are so expensive :(

I payed £160 return from the Isle Of Man to Liverpool then onto Amsterdam. The way the flights have worked out I have to fly the day before and catch the 6am flight out from liverpool the next morning. So that means extra for a hotel stop over there and back. And that was the cheap option as Easyjet have only just started flying out from the Isle Of Man.
Next trip 1st August 2015. 2 weeks camping/putting my feet up.
