Everything about the EasyEmpire screams "cheap". Yeah the prices are usually low, but so is the quality of service, the cleanliness, the attitude, and the class. Plus they will nickel & dime you any chance they get.

One of the great myths about travel from London is that EasyJet will get you anywhere for next to nothing. Well, if you book 5 months in advance and are willing to leave Wednesday at 6am and return Friday at 6am, then yes, you can get some amazing deals, but usually EasyJet is about the same price as a regular airline, and the difference is often not worth it.

You must endure cattle-call seating (like Southwest Airlines in the US), a tacky orange color scheme, surly passengers, and the annoying "EasyCart" food and beverage service (by no means cheap).

Recent experience: Having paid £45 to fly from London to Barcelona and back I was ready to tolerate the mangy experience for the fabulous price. Unfortunately, my extra luggage cost £64... ONE WAY. Let's see... that almost quadruples the price of my ticket. I knew I might have to pay a bit for the excess, but £4 per kilo??? That's insane.

Bottom line is EasyJet is something to tolerate, not celebrate. If the price on a real airline is within £20 or so, fly them instead, it's worth it. And for god's sake minimize your luggage or you're really screwed.
