For my trip in a few weeks, I am using easyjet for CDG to BCN, BCN to berlin, berlin to orly. I'm only doing this because skyeurope closed down.
I'm already annoyed because on their website, they would not allow me to book multiple flights at a time, so I incurred a booking fee EACH time plus a 11euro charge for my bag!
My tickets wer about 29 euro each but geez, skyeurope was great...anyways Anyone have experience with this airline?
Also, I'm using continental/US to fly over; do they do inflight movie and food like AA does? Trying to prepare....

We have only flown Easy Jet once(June 30) but we had no problems with the flight from Edinburgh to CDG. I bought the tickets in January, paid 32 pounds extra---8 each for two checked bags and two priority boarding passes. It was perfectly acceptable for a short flight.

I have flown to Europe 3 times on Continental and it was fine. They have seat back screens and you can choose what movie, etc. you want to see. They served dinner and breakfast.

I just flew back from Germany on Monday on Continental and I was satisfied with their in-flight entertainment, food, service (although I thought they could have come down the aisle with the drink cart more often than they did, considering that the air is so dry in planes). I flew Easyjet in 2007 from London Luton to CDG and then from Berlin back to London Luton. At that time, they didn't charge us for checked bags. However, we missed our original flight from Luton to Paris and they charged us each a 35-pound transfer fee to get on the next flight ($70 at that time). Other than that I was satisfied with them and would fly them again, depending on how much they charge for checked bags.

EasyJet is a very efficient airline. Flew from Basel to Amsterdam. Very pleased with their service, and low prices compared to something like Air France between Basel and Amsterdam.

Look at BA and Ryanair as two alternatives. Also, airberlin might be a choice. Look at http://www.skyscanner.com/ for more choices.

Used EasyJet several times and never had a problem. Flew on time. Probably fatsest baggage delivery of any airline I have used. They seem to have some pull with the airport delivery systems. Watch their baggage rules - one carryon means one carryon. No purse, camera bag, laptop, as well as your carryon. Book your checked luggage when you book your ticket or it will cost extra at the desk.

I have had great success with both. last Xmas Continental bumped me to First Class on a flight from Madrid to Newark, because they wanted a family to sit together in Coach.
Flew Easy Jet from Venice to Gatwick, efficient, friendly.
Just watch the baggage limitations..and..where their airport really is in certain cities.
