Easy Easyjet
Posted by Carambs
My friends and I were supposed to take the train from Barcelona to Paris. The idea was to combine our transportation and accomodation fees into 1. Hey, can’t blame us, the Euro is expensive! We tried to purchase tickets 2 days before our flight to Barcelona from an official representative, the Adventure International Tours, which has a branch in SM Megamall. For some reason, they couldn’t book tickets for us - though there were several seats left, the system kept resulting in errors.
We had to come up with Plan B.
We discussed our options - Easyjet and Ryanair. Mona already tried Easyjet the year before, so even if the schedule meant we will only have 1 1/4 days in Paris, we decided to go for it. The ticket was 189 Euro per person.
Mona purchased the e-tickets for the four of us. She made sure we had speedy boarding, which meant we had to pay an extra 3 Euro per person. This was reasonable, especially since Easyjet uses free seating.
Checking in was relatively easy. There were many open counters, so we didn’t have to wait long. The airplane was clean, the flight attendants were friendly, and the handling of the luggages was fine. Snacks were not free, but this is generally accepted with budget airlines.
When I go back, I will not hesitate to use Easyjet again. I think it’s even a blessing that we were not able to take the train. Yes, we spent more, but it wasn’t a tiring journey and we didn’t have to lug around our big bags.
