I can confirm TUI definitely uses EZJ. I have booked holidays to Spain and Portugal with TUI and used EZJ from Luton

[peddlers] 23/7/2024 09:26

I fly constantly, next flight Orlando TUI on Sunday.
I can confirm TUI use easyJet for various flights.

To log in to the airline website, you’ll be asked for your flight reference number, which is different to your TUI booking reference. Your flight reference number will be a six-digit code (seven-digits for easyJet flights) and can be found on your booking confirmation, e-ticket or in Manage my Booking on the TUI website.

Trying 2 trade.

Check out for yourself then 21st Aug, Bristol to Zante, or any other Wednesday flight from Bristol to Zante...you will find that TUI will use EZJ as the carrier.

So I am NOT bias to the stock, just pointing out that some Tour Operators will use other carriers to get their guests to their choice of holiday locations.

[trying2trade] 23/7/2024 09:00

Come off it please. TUI use TUI, wet lease in capacity and uses a variety of operators (none being EZY) for destinations not served by their fleet. This board is one of the worst on the whole platform for confirmation bias towards a stock.

[sapphireblue1] 23/7/2024 08:46

They do and maybe 20 other airlines.
Last year we had TUI guests on air Malta into the DB Hotels in Malta.

[philmac56] 23/7/2024 08:33

Trading, you are wrong there.
You will find if you check that some hols booked via TUI, do indeed use EzJ as the carrier.

Bristol to Zante is one example on 21st Aug, and there are many more occasions

Sapphire , that’s why you don’t run an airline, I think despite hatred towards his business practices O’Leary knows what he is doing.

I still can't get my head around the thought process of cutting prices to a point where it's not commercially viable.
I can honestly say that I have never randomly looked through an airline website and taken a flight just because it's a bit cheaper than it should be. The flight cost is almost insignificant compared to the cost of airport parking, the cab to the airport, a tank of petrol, accomodation, transfer to your hotel or a meal out with a couple of decent bottles.
The fact is that Ryanair are so focused on headline price and extras that they don't understand what people want.
Convenience, confidence and reliability. They want to leave from their nearest and easily accessed airport. They want to feel confident that as a customer they are valued and looked after. They want the process to be as slick as possible, booking, airport and flight
Price is way down the list and people pay what it is within reason.
I don't understand the mentality of ryanair. Clearly they are losing market share and I can see why.

Let's not forget that TUI use easyJet for their choice of flight also

[sapphireblue1] 22/7/2024 21:44

The logic escapes me. Why drop the price. If people want to travel they will travel. I think that they have made a poor decision. Easyjet have not slashed prices. People pay for convenience. The local airport and a convenient travel time.
To illustrate I was speaking to a couple from Northampton tonight. They flew easyjet yesterday from Birmingham. There were 2 empty seats.
Last year they came to us in Mijas Costa but a different hotel. Last year they flew ryanair from Luton as there was only a choice of Ryan or easy. They picked Ryan.
This year they went to Birmingham and said that although there's little difference in distance parking at Birmingham is cheaper and the airport is much better.
Nothing to do with easyJet it was just easier for them. I asked about price and they admitted that Birmingham was a bit more but it suited them. They are on an easyJet holiday, last year they booked directly with us on our website.
They made the swap for the end to end service with transfer.
Easyjet holidays is the big win

Cheers. They've 50% accuracy this year ... so it's like flipping a coin

[foreverbull] 22/7/2024 18:43

Key questions or things to consider from below are(1) poor forecasting from Ryanair... Will see how accurate EasyJet are(2) Ryan seems to have surplus capacity which forced them to reduce prices

[blueball] 22/7/2024 18:42

stay in cash.

[foreverbull] 22/7/2024 18:41

A few interesting points and remarks:(1) Ticket prices fell 15pc in the three months to June after Michael O'Leary, the chief executive, was forced into a series of sales in order to fill the company's 500 planes.(2) Ticket prices fell 15pc in the three months to June after Michael O'Leary, the chief executive, was forced into a series of sales in order to fill the company's 500 planes.(3) The Irish carrier's poor forecast hit airline shares across Europe, with FTSE 100 low-cost airline EasyJet dropping 7.2pc.(4) Ryanair said that continuing issues with the supply of aircraft from Boeing and Airbus will act as a brake on capacity and help bolster prices going into the end of the year.

From The Telegraph Ryanair's attempt to attract frugal holidaymakers by slashing summer fares has hit profits and sent the company's shares tumbling.Ticket prices fell 15pc in the three months to June after Michael O'Leary, the chief executive, was forced into a series of sales in order to fill the company's 500 planes.The move helped boost passenger numbers 10pc during the quarter, but came at a cost.Profit fell 46pc from a year earlier dropping to €360m (£303m). The company's shares plunged 13pc as trading began after it warned that fares will remain materially lower for the rest of the summer as it battles to win passengers.Finance chief Neil Sorahan said that Ryanair has struggled to make higher fares stick after it lifted prices more than 20pc last year.Mr Sorahan said: "There's no shortage of demand, in fact it's as strong as I've ever seen it. But people are being more cautious about what they do with their money."They are happy to spend and they're travelling in numbers. They're just a bit more frugal and they're taking a bit of a breath."Mr Sorahan said that while Ryanair's objective is always to fill the plane, it's not having to resort to the deep discounting of the past, when it would advertise tickets at £9.99.Fares promotions are now priced at £19.99 or £29.99, with the average fare at around £49, £7 higher than before Covid.The Irish carrier's poor forecast hit airline shares across Europe, with FTSE 100 low-cost airline EasyJet dropping 7.2pc.Hungarian airline Wizz Air, another discount carrier and a member of the FTSE 250, plunged 8.7pc.Ryanair said that continuing issues with the supply of aircraft from Boeing and Airbus will act as a brake on capacity and help bolster prices going into the end of the year.Consolidation among European carriers including Lufthansa's takeover of the biggest Italian airline and British Airways owner IAG's bid for Spanish leisure carrier Air Europa will also push up fares, it predicts.

I only book Ryanair if I have no choice. I don't think that I am alone. As easyJet are adding new routes and destinations whilst adding volume and new bases those lone ryanair routes become less.
Price is not the main factor. Given the cost of transport within the UK departure airport is the first priority

[amt] 22/7/2024 15:44

Passengers moving from Ryanair to Easyjet. If you had the choice of
Flight it's a no brainer who you would fly with.

[sapphireblue1] 22/7/2024 15:37

O'Leary is a big baby trying to deflect the attention away from ryanair failings. He did the same recently when he said about airbus fleets being grounded to deflect upon their poor decision with Boeing.
Just like a child blaming someone else.
6 weeks into Q3 easyjet reported ahead of last year, I don't think that will change.
Just booking the Málaga half marathon in March for a team of 8 from London. £210 return each in March 25. Looks strong to me.
Now if they book the easyJet holidays package they get flights and accommodation £605 for 6 days. Flights are now £262 for the same flight. Ryanair can't do that.

[noramping] 22/7/2024 15:06

Due to recent announcements I think EZJ is not immune to markets conditions and other players in the market having issues, my bet is the next update will see the share price drop further.

I would be happy to be wrong

[onehanded] 22/7/2024 13:55

Bound to retrace to £4.80 mark but to break £5 will need a steady update.

[sapphireblue1] 22/7/2024 13:48

My 4th buy for today totaling a little over £20k. Happy just to take these at this nonsense level. Easyjet now makes up 20% of my portfolio which is very comfortable.
Lets see if Easyjet really are pulling away from ryanair. I believe that they are and much like the nonsense about all the airlines having aircraft supply issues Ryanair are just trying to muddy the water

[kktj] 22/7/2024 13:33

The only notifiable short interest is from Qube Research & Technologies Limited who reduced to 0.67% on the 18th (bad timing!)

Also when you talk about single digit loses, I assume you mean in % and not £!
