Customer commentsThe staff are impolite and difficult the boarding process is

extremely badly organised. They announce "boarding" while the plane is not actually there, put all the

passengers in the small room with no fresh air and no place to sit

If you wish to be treated like cattle and snapped at by the ground staff, then choose easyJet

The easyJet boarding procedure is very poor. I hate it. Also easyJet should abandon Speedy boarding. It does not

make sense anymore after the introduction of assigned seating.

22One easyJet crew from Ground to Air

Customer comments

Fairly quick, short walk to board and indicated which set of steps to take. I am a eJ+ card holder so I was on board early and secured a place for my bag above my seat

Quick and efficient boarding with no delays, although I did have to check my cabin bag at the last minute due to no more room on the flight. It wasn’t a big deal, I didn’t have to wait long at the carousel for it after, so it was alright

No holdups, all went smoothly, staff helped provide maximum storage by rearranging baggage in overhead lockers. I liked the way that they ask permission of the owner of each item before rearranging them.

Customer charter at boarding

24One easyJet crew from Ground to Air

3 key points of boarding

1. Remember our premium customers have paid for a service. We need to make access clear continuously throughout the boarding process

2. Perception is reality, never allow our customers to queue whilst standing for more than 25 minutes – ever!

3. 3+1 language at the boarding gate will help our customers to have a smooth journey and help you deliver a Consistent, Friendly & Professional service every flight, every day.

boarding/easyJet plus lane so please could you join the queue to your right Thank

you.”

Oversized bag

“I’m sorry but your bag is larger than our maximum cabin bag size. We will need to tag your bag and place it into the aircraft hold. Because your bag is larger than our maximum size we will have to treat it as a

hold bag & the additional fee will be……...”

“The gate will be closing in X minutes. If you are unable to pay then you will not be

able to travel. I appreciate that you are unhappy, we do have to follow these rules

in order that we are fair and consistent with all our customers.”
