This easyJet flight from Amsterdam (AMS) to London Gatwick (LGW) was the perfect scenario for expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I've heard loads of not so nice things about easyJet over the years, and...I was nervous.
This is footage from flight number 8868, which was on an A320 that was registered as OE-IJK. I had seat number 21F for this 45 minute flight.

EasyJet is like First Class compared to Ryanair!
I gotta try Ryanair now!
@@sanspotter for me Ryanair is two different airlines. One with the tired, tatty interior you describe. And the other with their newer roomy planes that blows other low cost airlines out of the water on value. Hope you're feeling lucky!
They are very much the same. Two low cost airlines with no frills. One flys 737s and the other flys a320s.
I fly easy jet all the time they are a great airline and have kind staff
@@sanspotter you'll regret it when you do fly Ryanair 😃🤣😂
easy jet is a budget airline but DONT get the wrong idea i fly with easyjet every year its one of the best airlines ive ever flown in its amazing the landing the takeoff its super amazing i recommend easy jet over non budget airlines
EasyJet is fine
Ryanair on the otherhand
EasyJet are great. They provide a good product at cheap prices. Why would Boarding via the rear steps be stressful?
Hard to explain if you don’t create trip reports - it’s a super rare thing for me and I really didn’t want to screw up the shot. I’m terrible under pressure like that. 😂
@@sanspotter a like that boarding is an opportunity to take aircraft's shots
A chance to be on the tarmac a bit more, for great video opportunities......
Er no they do not, obviously you do not fly very often and this craven company, took a huge amount of money from Brussels, and moved what was a British company to Austria. Well I for one would like to see it collapse. We used to shoot deserters
@@JimWalsh-rl5dj Hi. Every flight I've taken from Belfast to Liverpool I've boarded from the rear using steps after you walk out onto the tarmac. So yeah, they use steps quite often.
Have flown 6 times with Easy Jet now and have never had a bad experience.
I absolutely love them and will never fly with anyone else.
I've flown a similar amount of times with easyjet and I have had as many bad experiences as non bad experiences. I've had my hand luggage taken off me and broken by baggage handlers, almost bumped from an over booked flight and every flight has been delayed. I would simply say - keep doing it until it goes wrong
Can you tell me the allowed capin bag weight
What a coincidence! I flyed EasyJet 6 times aswell
Same here, I have used Easyjet 5 times to Morocco and never had a issue.
Been flying with Easyjet monthly for over 10 years and have rarely had a problem. Best budget airline out there.
I have panic attacks every time I fly (I’m currently watching loads of plane videos to desensitise myself!) and I’ve had a few turbulent flights with EasyJet, given they’re often small planes and you can feel every movement. However, that’s out of the control of even the pilots often, and all the staff were amazing, attentive, and efficient. I might not take an easyJet for a longer flight given limited room, but it’s incredible and cheap and EASY. The pilots and cabin crew are some of the most professional people I’ve met. Really ideal.
I have also panic attacks and it will be in a few days my first time with easyJet. What are you doing to control it when its about to fly??
EasyJet has amazing pilots - some of the best in the business imo
If the flight is bumpy lift your feet off the floor, suddenly it's not bumpy anymore.
Why didn't you just put your bag in the overhead lockers?
Why aye man 😉
@@johnnyrotten8801 Love that response lmao
@@newcastletillidie6607 I used to live in Newcastle ....elswick then jesmond then Gateshead now France lol 😆
Have used Easyjet on numerous occasions, and never really had any issues. I did miss a flight once through me being stupid, but they were more than helpful, putting me on the next available, free of charge.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and honestly I only clicked on it because I'm crew for Easyjet. I'm glad you had a good experience and I'll be sure to check out the rest of your videos because I love stuff like this!
I hope you did because this guy churns out amazing stuff.
I wanna know the weight of the free capin bag that i can bring with me on the plane
@@nourhanahmed8213 Depends on the company you are flying with, usually 10kg. Usually they don't check ;).
@@rollingtroll the company is easyjet
@@nourhanahmed8213 Googling it is easy, but let me help you. The dimensions are 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. There is NO weight limit. So you can make it as heavy as you want.
Had a really smooth flight today, easyJet is the best budget Airline
EasyJet is what a lot consider now to be a medium cost airline compared to Ryanair and is for those who require a bit more comfort yet value for money
Flew with easy jet before their large overhaul back in 2011, from Gatwick to Aberdeen.
My family and I were well looked after (mother is disabled), and the service was considerably well delivered and on time. Apart from the rocket take off, we thoroughly enjoyed the flight to and from Scotland. It appears they have kept up this good service all these years! (And a considerably perfect safety record too ;) )
anyone else wait for one of his videos to come out just so you can laugh at his dry humour?
Not everyone appreciates my humor, but I’m thankful for those that do. 🙏🏻😂
Jacob Sayle my favorite youtuber....absolutely hilarious.
Yes...it's definitely a reason I follow Scott's vids.
SANspotter What happened to the take off jokes?
Me! I have commented all ready that I always end up laughing at these vid's
I have flew with EasyJet twice, they’re amazing! ❤️🤙🏻✈️
Easyjet are an absolutely fabulous airline. Have flown with them a dozen times over a two year period. Highly, highly recommend
Scott -- just wanted to say how much I love your videos. I watch every single one of them and you are hands down, the best trip reporter there I watch CZcams (and I watch A LOT). Your humor is on point and the videos are of perfect length. Keep it going and I hope that some day, you'll have as many or more subscribers than some of the other not as good trip reporters out there. Seeing one of your videos make my day!
Thanks so much! A lot of work goes into these videos so I’m happy you’re enjoying them. 😃
Great camera work and editing!...very very professional Scott, looking forward to your next one..
glad you had a great flight. EZY are a good airline. yep they have their moments when they drop the ball but every airline does at some point. generally, they get it right. their crew are always polite and professional and their aircraft are always well kept. thanks for the great trip reports
Thanks, yeah, it was a really good flight! Looking forward to my second easyJet flight - whenever that may be.
Glad to see I’m not the only one with a fear of airplane stairs
Falling off airplane stairs would be a tragic end to this CZcams channel. Though, if I’m gonna go, I wanna go big! 🤔😂
They always have these warning stickers, that make you feel like your are about to trip and fall of the stairs backwards
Nice video! Being someone who flys easyjet a lot, I'd never really stopped to consider that boarding from airstairs at the rear is kind of unique but come to think of it, I can only think of one occasion myself where that has happened on other airlines.
Is easyjet safe? I’m a bit skeptic about flying with jets I haven’t with before. I usually fly with jet2 but it didn’t work out. As a 9 year old I’m absolutely TERRIFIED with flying with airlines I haven’t before. Please tell me if u want
Before 2016, I had never flown. Since then I have been to Vienna twice, and once to Milan, all by Easyjet, with no problems whatsoever. The flight crews are absolutely lovely, and make you feel completely safe and cared for. Will I fly Easyjet again? You bet I will. Absolutely loved it.
My first flight (of many) with easyJet was in 2010 (Lisbon to Madrid) and even back then, I was sold! It's a low cost carrier that feels like a full service airline, and a good one at that.
- Red
I vote for easyJet expansion to the US! 🇺🇸
I can't remember, either - it's been a while! That's why I haven't been uploading easyJet trip reports lately, been mostly domestic US flights on Delta, United and American. Check 'em out :)
Flying EasyJet for the first time this summer into London-Luton from Zurich. Have only heard good things and your video confirms a lot of what i have heard from other travelers about what it will be like. Great video!
Flew with easyJet for the first time 2 weeks ago, Newcastle to Bristol, quite a pleasant experience.
Newcastle to bristol? Thats only 3 hours on the train it probably takes longer to check in
Well that just blew my EasyJet review out of the water! Great work as always, loved the humour.
Haha, thanks Blake! 😂👍🏻
On Tuesday July 30 I will not only be boarding an EasyJet A319 for the first time from Newcastle to Jersey but I will be boarding a plane for the first time to. You have no idea how helpful it is. Better than all the first time flier vlogs. I know how to use the tray now, I know what it's like in a plane now and the shots of climbing the steps makes it all real to me. Shows me what I am about to do as taken from my point of view. The plane still seems huge even though it's only a short haul plane. Thank you.
You’re very welcome Paul! Flying is absolutely amazing (and fun...and safe), and I hope you enjoy for first ever experience with air travel. You’ve got nothing to worry about, and I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it!
Amazing video! Keep up with the amazing work!
I flew Easy Jet from Inverness to London back in September. It was a great experience for the $30 USD I paid for the ticket lol
I honestly can’t understand how they stay in business charging so little. My only guess is that there are a LOT of people who pay for extras like checked bags and food.
SANspotter seats would otherwise be empty and no many people would just buy food before or after the flight given it’s a short flight and the checked baggage cost is to deter people mostly to reduce turnaround times and weight onboard the aircraft.
@@sanspotter and also their flights do go up a lot! We only travel on easyjet and flights are usually £30 pp per way, but we book as soon as they come out.The flight prices quickly go up.When we did our first easyjet flight it was the end of the holidays and were in a hurry to go from Bristol to Rome and it costed £900 for 3 people! Granted it was a few days before, but still expensive!
@@sanspotter Depends on times of the year, in Britain parents get charged a fine if they take their child on holiday during term time (and the school finds out about it) so most people book during the summer holidays, easyjets fare is based off how many people book the flight. so as many people book during the summer, it can get expensive. however easyjet release schedules during one big block, so if you are up at about 6am on that day, you can bag summer holiday flights at a decent price, sometimes as low as £40 per person each way.
Another great video Scott! I thought the opening footage of you walking the belt was Oscar worthy!! Gave me a good chuckle after a hard day!! Thanks! 😊
Haha, thanks! I had to remind myself that this was just a simple little easyJet flight, so dramatic theatrics were unnecessary. 🙅🏼♂️😂
I hope the experience still remains the same. I booked my first Easy Jet flight from Geneva to Stockholm because it's the only non stop fight that works for my schedule. Thank you for the review, it helps especially the outdoor stair boarding was unexpected lol
I have flown with easyJet many times on different routes and I've never had a problem with them👍🏻
I've flown Easyjet twice now and found them very good both times! Great video!
Thanks! Nice to hear they are offering a consistently good product!
Your video is the most entertaining trip report I’ve seen in months! Brilliant, great work! I’ve never had a problem with easyJet, and I always look forward to flying with them. Great budget airline! AirCat. :)
Thanks AirCat! Glad you enjoyed it. 😄
Try Ryan Air then you will truly suffer ...
DinoDino lmao
How? Ryanair is not that bad tbh , the old cabin is shit but the new cabin with new seat is actually pretty good
The website sucks (on purpose) and their landings are... heavy. But other than that, not too bad. At least not the few flights I took with them.
Nice review. We're going the opposite way, LGW to AMS this spring. First time on Easyjet. We'll each have a backpack or roll-on that will fit just fine, but we'll also be carrying smaller personal bags. Is that going to be an issue with this airline?
I love your sense of humor. I hit the like button before watching the video.
Thanks Will!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant review
As usual, good vid and great sense of humor p.s. NICE weather in Ams and Gatwick
Thanks! And by NICE you mean poopy, right? 👉🏻💩😂
I've flown about 20 times with easyJet and have mostly had a good experience.
I flown 24 times and I would agree.
I'm flying Easyjet for the first time in 3 weeks (MAN-TIV). Having seen this review, I'm not so fearful. It seems an efficient, stress-free flight experience. Great video. You deserve more subscribers.
How was it 😂 got my first ever flight tomorrow
@@ryanfiddy6959 please how was the flight lmao got mine soon 😭!!
EZY is a great carrier, i would never step into Ryanair plane, but always into EZY!!!
EZY and Norwegian are my favorite LCC‘s 👍😎✈️🛩
Why would you never step foot on a Ryanair palne ?
grow up
I’ve flown with easyJet four times, and Ryanair twice, the two times I was with Ryanair was immaculate, with easyJet still being phenomenal, Ryanair was overall a smoother ride! Both airlines are cheap and overall very good! :)
Absolutely love Easy jet
Hi Scott!
Another great video! EasyJet are one of the best LCC in Europe, a very solid airline. Haven’t flown them in a while,which is a shame..
Btw, I work at the Albert Heijn at the airport which you can see in the distantie on your third shot :)
Regards,
Brendan
Great video mate, I've never flown with EasyJet but I want to go to Crete next year (as long as the virus goes away by then) and they're one of the people I can fly with to take me where I want to
Never had a problem with easyJet, flown them from the UK to Reykjavik and Munich a few times
They fly to KEF? That’s pretty cool - I had no idea!
I work for easyjet as cabin crew. Thank you for a lovely review 🤩
I’ve never had any problems with Easyjet. ✈️👍
Good to know - I had no idea they were so (generally) good!
Apparently easyJet tui and British airways are cancelled because of long ques
Just joined the channel. Great report, thanks. Like others, I have flown with EasyJet many times. Always an excellent service in my experience. Keith
I flew Easyjet to and from Santorini this year, my first flights with Easyjet and I was pleasantly surprised. Not least by the legroom provided. But this was my first flight in over 10 years and oh my how things have changed. The worst thing EVER is those "carry-on" bags, in reality huge wheeled suitcases that trip you up whilst walking to and from the aircraft. If they restrict your personal legroom, stow them!
This is a good, quality video. I have not laughed so hard about aviation since 8 hours ago, when I thought of a 787 stalling to the ground and then bouncing back up with a cartoon spring sound effect and some text that read *Boeing.* But anyways, I think... I think it's summary time.
So we start of in Amsterdam preparing for our flight to London Gatwick airport. There's not really much to see, as it looks like a standard airport. We board the aircraft in the biting cold in Amsterdam through airstairs and before long, we are seated. EasyJet seats are known as "slimline" seats, although they looked really comfortable. We go through the flight, where he shows us the inside of the seatback pocket. There really wasn't much else to the video, except for the legroom. I mean, it looked very average to me, but somehow Scott just puts some of that wonderful humor in to make this 45-minute flight hilariously funny. This is what was missing from your last videos. Humor. And you knocked it out of the ballpark.
That's really it, this was a stellar tripreport for what the flight was. I have no complaints and no recommendations. If you can make every video like this, your sub count will hit 1 million in no time.
Haha, thanks man! 😄 Yeah, I did put a bit of extra effort into this one since it was a pretty bland (and short ) flight. Glad you liked it - and thanks as always for the summary!
Great video, Scott. I kinda like boarding via the stairs (without weather issues) however, at some point, I will trip as I go up. You did great and your camera made it. :👏✈️🤣
Hahaha! If I never post another video, it’ll likely be because I tripped and fell off a set of air stairs. 😵😵😂
Awesome video man! Liked:-)
Thanks so much! 😃🙏🏻
I read the EasyJet magazine, it's quite good
Steve The Wanderer ya it is
I like it whenever anyone discovers EasyJet - they're generally fantastic and if you can pick up a
agree
Their planes look beautiful😍
Been flying with them for a while now :)
They’re the best for airline flights to Ireland not gonna lie.
I love EasyJet it’s basically a medium cost airline, slightly more costly then Ryanair but dam worth it
Easyjet are great for short haul! Use them twice monthly at least .. cheap and good service.
Who hasn't flew with Easy Jet?
Me:No one
Good pre-flight prep for my first flight with them, is the overhead that small?
Thanks, glad it was helpful! The overhead bins are normal size, but I always (usually) put my backpack under the seat in front of me.
I find this vid very helpful because I am scared of flying and I have anxiety so I look for the video so I know what It is going to like ty
The only reason I am watching this is because i’m going to holland-Netherlands in a week and im super duper excited
Flew EasyJet from Gatwick to Edinburgh. Cheap and much more forgiving with carryons than Aer Lingus.
In order to bring a carryon and personal item do you have to get a Flexi fare or??
Just back from an Easyjet flight. Honestly, no issues whatsoever. Seats ok for the short leg, great staff, we were slightly late but the stewards managed to start boarding the aircraft a stunning 10 minutes after the last passenger left the stairs and we ended up landing on time. Pretty good value for money.
You didnt land on time. They put the arrival time on the app 30 mins back to make it look like you were on time
I grew up in England, to an Irish mother and a Dutch father. As you can imagine, I’ve spent my fair share goi g back and forth to Amsterdam and Ireland with both Ryanair and EasyJet for a very long time. I learnt how to “play the game” many years ago. I’ve never had a bad experience with either, however in terms of service I reckon EasyJet just edges the 2. I live in Australia now, so it’s been a while since I did any short hops between Europe and the UK or across to Ireland. :-)
Of all the low cost carriers in the EU I have found EasyJet to be the most consistent with regards to cleanliness and cabin condition. Recommended!
i usually fly with easyjet and have always found their planes quite good.
I have flown with easyjet quite a number of times. On time and quite good for a low cost airlines.
They are nice!
This is the easy part! Going through customs is my nightmare. Always held up and have even missed flights recently 😫
Great expose of the LCC world. Did you know that the overhead bins are there for you to use? They generally hold far more than the under seat storage!!
I definitely should have used the overhead bin on this flight - it was too late after I sat down and someone sat in the aisle seat immediately after. 😕
I flew with easyjet for the first time a week ago, i was so impressed, when the flight and local train is a third the cost of a long uk train journey, it was a no-brainer and id 100% fly again within the uk on easyjet and maybe further afield if the opportunity allowed 😊
I fly EJ several times a year and the service is (usually) excellent. Apart from the bag-drop woman in Ibiza. She was a monster. Which means she would be employee of the month at Ryanair.
😂
A huge fan of easyJet myself! Flew them back during the Icelandic air disaster of 2010, and recently again this year. I had a similar odd boarding situation (no gate displayed, nowhere to sit, "boarding" commenced before the plane arrived), but chalked it up to the Italians. Guess the Dutch are guilty as well!
That’s the fun of air travel I guess - it’s different wherever you go!
Are there overhead lockers above all of the 'standard' seats? I've got upcoming flights with easyjet and I've decided I need to add an extra cabin bag for overhead lockers but I'm concerned that my bag will be at the other side of the plane or something... My seating is 18f and 24f.
Flew with them last month Sans from LGW to AMS. Nice flight though. Nice budget airlines I will say. :)
You flew the opposite way I did! 👍🏻 Nice way to travel between London and Amsterdam.
Gatwick are the same with boarding, only to put the gate up an hour or less. This is to get people to spend more inthe shops. Palma Mallorca put up gate departures at just after midnight local for all the day's flights, but can alter. Nice to know if one has an air bridge jetty or not. Terminal A even numbers 8 to 22 have a bridge. Also try speedy boarding and check luggage allowances.
The on board magazine is really enjoyable!!
I can’t remember the last time I read an in flight magazine. 🤔
@@sanspotter well I suggest to read one of them or at least go through a magazine looking to the images, they can inspire you. And from that you can also understand a lot about the airline's way of thinking and discover interesting fun aviation facts
I also never had any bad experience with Easyjet.
Make the drive up from San Diego to Burbank or Long Beach if you want to experience air stairs again! Heck, you could take the Pacific Surfliner to the Burbank airport to avoid the drive too.
Oh heck yes - a Pacific Surfliner ride + air stairs at BUR sounds fun! I definitely need to check out all these airports near me that I’ve never flown in or out of before (SNA, LGB, BUR). 😎👍🏻
SANspotter JFK-LGB is my favorite transcon. JetBlue for the win!
I am flying with easyJet for the first time in a week, and thanks for your video... despite the fact that it was shot quite some time ago.
I’m a long time fan of easyJet and their ‘Plus’ card is great if you fly with them a lot. I don’t like their AMS operation though as that pop up terminal doesn’t allow access to the Priority Pass lounge.
Good to know about the lack of Priority Pass access. Otherwise, I actually liked that minimalistic terminal.
Going to Tenerife with easy jet in a few days I have an extreme fear of flying and I’ve never flown with easy jet before- I’m extremely nervous about it but I love Tenerife so much
Lol😂
I think you'd really enjoy RyanAir. Kidding. Great video, as always!
You may be kidding, but I’m totally going to do it. 😄👍🏻
@@sanspotter I flew them in 1988 on a leased CV-580 from Galway to London Luton. The inflight service consisted of a scowl and piece of hard candy.
Great low cost airline and my favourite in U.K. by a country mile . They do things right
Can you lift up your handrest in these flights?
As someone who flies short Ryanair flights super regularly, Easyjet is a total breath of fresh air and I've switched now entirely. Costs only a fraction more with way less stress. Ryanair treat you like cattle but Easyjet hold onto a moniker of respect for their customers.
What happens if you dont book a seat? Can you still check in 30 days before take off?
Great review.
I took my first Easyjet flight back in 2016 from Gatwick and I was very worried about flying with a low cost carrier. Since then I have flown with Easy around 10 times and I love them.
I can honestly say I have never had a problem. The cabin crew are always well turned out and smart and come across as being very professional and I love having a chat with the pilots after the flight.
Recently Easyjet were voted Business airline of the year in the UK
They really have come on since their early days. I am going to Greece with them in a few weeks and I cant wait and if you do ever fly with them again you must try the bacon rolls. They are sooo good.
Happy flying fella
PS..... Why didn't you put your backpack in the overhead.
Haha! Thanks for the tip about the bacon rolls. 🥓😍😄 Next time! Anyway, I didn’t want to bother the guy in the aisle seat so I just dealt with the bag at my feet. Short flight anyway. 👍🏻
What’s the name of the song played in the beginning? Btw great video Scott!
Download the easyjet app, you will get an alert direct to your phone or watch informing you of your gate details. Just sit in the coffee shop.. Simple. I have flown easyjet on this route many times. It is the only route that I know where you have to stand for boarding. Normally there are seats at the departure gates at UK airports for easyjet 😁.
Hi Scott. Great video.... As always. Ex-pat from LA living in Dublin now. You should try taking the Aer Lingus flight from DUB-LAX sometime. It'll make for a good trip report. I take that route 2-3 times a year.
Thanks! And YES! Aer Lingus from LAX is a high priority for me. Maybe this year? 🤔
Easyjet is my favourite Airline (well, putting luxury Middle Easterns). I love the 320 which is all they operate, I love how you get to walk to the plane and see it properly, they're always friendly, and their flights have such a nice feeling. I absolutely love flying - no better feeling - and with EZY it's great. Plus the pilots are usually really friendly - they always let me in the flight deck and talk to me (future pilot). Only downside is there are always delays - but i like being in the airport tbh lol so not that bad
Nice video! I too agree about those magazines. Does anyone read them?
Thanks Paul! I’m quite positive that the only reason they exist is because they earn more money selling ads than they spend on the extra fuel burn. It’s been years since I’ve seen anyone read the inflight magazine. 😂
Our first time too from Glasgow to faro 20/4/19 and back 27/4/19 verdict fantastic
Good to hear! This is a really great airline.
Hwhehehehe. I see you had no one in the middle seat!!! That was damn good!!!!!!
Do the seats recline?
Do they have any cushion?
The seat covers look flimsy and cheap.
I didn’t test the recline, but yeah they are thin. They felt solid though!
