Easyjet Share Discussion Threads

Phil I agree. It will take a long time for the UK to recover from Brexit and the Boris era.
It will be a very different place culturally and demographically in the future.
Brexit tied so many hands and has limited the scope of the young. Most of those once retiring to the sun no longer can and are left to rot in the cold.
After voting to leave the UK has been excluded from so much. The lies and false headlines really should be revisited for criminal action.
Now the disaster is left for generations ahead to make the best of.

Meanwhile in Southern Europe we have a bit of cooler weather at last. Dipping under 30° for the first time in two months.

The share price is depressed like everyone living in the UK lol

[sapphireblue1] 21/8/2024 07:36

The share price is just filling time until the summer update.

[sapphireblue1] 20/8/2024 13:32

Think positive you'll have a great time.

[philmac56] 20/8/2024 12:17

Sapphire...just my luck

[sapphireblue1] 20/8/2024 11:55

Phil why would the flight be cancelled. Very few disruptions and cancellations so far this year.

[noramping] 20/8/2024 11:30

Phil, so the best way is to book hotel and flight separately so that you aren’t paying easyJet an extra few hundred quid for nothing in reality as easyjet provide no customer service in resort.
So if people do research themselves as sapphire recommends they will be a much cheaper option to buy direct rather than paying easyJet.

Sapphires having a mare, true colours an all.

[noramping] 20/8/2024 11:21

Obviously there are some customers who find fault regardless.
But Sapphire comes over as a complete snob, where so called “poor” people should just accept what they are given and have no recourse, her explanation is easyJet can do no wrong whatsoever, and she works in the industry which is very worrying.
Seems her motto is profit, profit, profit regardless to customer service.

Well next month I use EJ for a flight to Zante.
The package by EJ hols was £1,200 approx.

We have done the same package, booked fights with EJ, booked same apartment direct all for £700.

We know the apartments well.

Our only concern with EJ, is, could the flight be cancelled.

I pays mess money, ize take my chances

So Sapp, if a convicted arsonist happens to stay at one of you hotels and burns the place to the ground, I assume it would be the hoteliers responsibility for not doing some "checks" into their guests. After all they shouldn't just assume because a guest says they are a nice person the are right? Nothing personal Sapp. I like most of your insights on here ref easyjet. Just disagree on this point.

[trying2trade] 20/8/2024 10:27

Genuinely cannot believe sapphire says easyJet offers terrible holidays and it's the customers fault for booking said holiday. This poster is devoid of business acumen. Why on earth would you want to be associated with a terrible product. This is what sapphire constantly skates ryanair for. One rule for one, one rule for another. Absolutely clueless

[noramping] 20/8/2024 09:22

It’s not really about doing research yourself, surely that’s what easyJet should be doing?

If they are providing accommodation then it should be upto scratch.

Sapphire just blames anybody but the provider, which is in case EasyJet.

[sapphireblue1] 20/8/2024 09:11

Cogs it's a strange idea of yours to think that these people couldn't do some simple research and may be vulnerable somehow.
Especially so when they were savvy enough to get their story into the press. Maybe they asked a friend with a laptop to contact the press. It's all about compensation, I hope that you know that.
Easyjet invites hoteliers to bid for guests and easyjet provides the flights and transfers. This isn't a package holiday it's a step up from the DIY holiday that has fuelled ryanair growth.
I can tell you that the package guests get the worst rooms with the bulk providers when the hotel is at capacity. It's not premium business for the hotel.
There are holidays at many different prices and simply the product is not the same. All inclusive provides the lowest standard of everything guaranteed. The maths doesn't add up so how good is the quality going to be. These bookings are for budget holidaymakers who aim to spend nothing beyond the cost of the holiday.
Gradually these places are disappearing but many linger. The pictures will always be the best examples of what you may find.

I hold my view that they got what they paid for

[philmac56] 20/8/2024 08:57

Cogs..
I personally experienced that last year in Rhodes with Jet2...we looked at there pics online, we paid for the sea view room. But hotel room we had was not refurbished with a sea view, the refurbished rooms has partial sea view...when back home Jet 2 immediately refunded our extra payment as description did not meet our booking

[cogs1] 20/8/2024 08:33

For me, this is about treating customers fairly, particularly those who may be vulnerable to exploitation. Yes, I'm sure all on here would do their own research, but fact is, some people don't and take things on face value.These hoteliers know what they are doing...a pic of a nice room, lovely pool, all at a bargain price. They are misleading customers. The description should match what is actually been offered. Pics of a dirty room, with a view of the car park opposite the sewage works! Then fine if people pay for that they deserve what they get.

[noramping] 20/8/2024 07:38

T2T, exactly, they fill the rooms jet2 don’t want to, which will include sub standard ones which don’t quite match the brochure.

Statement of the day from Sapphire , “where will the poor people go ?”
Facts are EasyJet are a budget airline, what demographic do you think they serve?

[trying2trade] 20/8/2024 06:50

Here is what sapphire has neglected to mention in previous posts. When someone like Jet2 block books a hotel they secure the best of the level. EZY are then left with the best (or worst) of the rest. These people then auction the rooms via this 'platform'. EZY have zero control of their standards because there is nobody on resort and the hotels don't have proper contracts. Sapphire is so far off the mark with what the public want and expect. EZY will make money, but they are acting more like on the beach than Jet2 currently.

[sapphireblue1] 19/8/2024 22:56

However it's absolutely clear from the reviews and the grading on all the booking sites what to expect. One week for 6 people all inclusive in Europe. £3900 so let's say the flights including case £250 each. Transfer is €120 each way for 5-7 people according to the hotel. So 1700, leaving £2200. £200 for easyJet. So £47 a day all inclusive for the hotel. Breakfast £7, lunch £12 Dinner £18. You can't eat cheaper. Drinks 18 hours a day, ice cream until 6pm. £??? it's a 3 star hotel with a nightly room rate of zero or less than zero if they order more than a couple of drinks.
Easyjet trusted them to deliver a 3 star service. Hotels have been at capacity since June so quality is under pressure.
We have mainly 4 star and our nightly rate in June full board but not all inclusive was £158 a night. That doesn't include any drinks except with breakfast.
Our hotels are very high standard and all rated 9 or over.
People come with expectations.
If you book a 7.2/10 hotel with shocking reviews then that's what you get.
The hotels are contracted to deliver a standard to easyJet according to their rating. In this case the service level will be very low.
My question is what do easyjet do here. Do they drop all the cheap hotels. Where would poor people go. When something lives up to their reviews should there be any right to complain....

As an idea of the maths here. A 7.6/10 rated bed and breakfast hotel in Dudley near Birmingham £90 a night. What exactly do you get for £47 all inclusive........

There's a willingness to complain but no personal responsibility about the booking process.

[cogs1] 19/8/2024 16:54

Sapphire, I'm sure the Easy jet Holidays set up is, and will be, a success. That said, if they are linking customers up with hotels via the easy jet website. They need to be very careful about just saying they have no involvement when things go wrong with the hotel. They state on the easy jet website "our trusted hotels" so when it becomes obvious the hotel is sub standard and not as advertised its bad PR at the least. I wonder what checks Easyjet do to ensure the hotels deliver and are as advertised. If the hotelier is prepared to run a sub standard hotel not fit for purpose then they are very unlikely to be interest in solving a customer complaint when raised directly.

[noramping] 19/8/2024 12:13

Excuse generator out again by sapphire.

Customers fault 😀

Facts are most holiday companies get complaints, nothing new or unique to easyJet, it’s how they get dealt with that matters.
Seems the big hole in EasyJets offering is no support on the ground in the resort or hotel, which will result in people possibly not using the service in the future if they have a bad experience

[sapphireblue1] 19/8/2024 12:09

Of course they chose the hotel and the hotel chose the room.
I hope they enjoyed the flight and complained to the hotel.
When will people understand how the holiday platform works.

£3900 for 6 people all inclusive should really have told them it's not going to be great. 7.4 on booking.com. Reviews about dirty rooms, why don't people do their research. All the necessary information was easy to find but I guess that they were blind to that and just saw cheap.
It's like buying a house on Rightmove then complaining to them about noisy neighbours.

A quote from Mail online today...

easyJet hols!!

lash out at easyJet over 'dirty' room overlooking car park and 'filthy' restaurant at 'nightmare' £3,900 Majorca all-inclusive

A family has slammed easyJet for an 'appalling' £3,900 holiday to Spain which they took a loan out for, after claiming they stayed at a three-star hotel which had 'dirty' rooms that you 'wouldn't put a dog in'.

Mark Field, 61, who lives in Birmingham and owns an entertainment business, and his wife Karen, 59, joined their son Nathan, 32, their daughter-in-law Nadia, 38, and their two grandchildren – Albie, eight, who is autistic and non-verbal, and Baxter, four – for a seven-night 'familymoon' holiday in Spain in June this year.

After landing in Cala d'Or in Mallorca on June 24 and arriving at Hotel Club Es Talaial – a three-star hotel which says it offers 'families all inclusive fun' – Mark said they discovered their rooms looked 'nothing like' the pictures published online, adding: 'You wouldn't have put a dog in there.'

I don’t normally trade, my main holding is RR. Which my average is about 62p.

Owning Apple is no more risky than EZJ

This was being ramped to hell when it was 550p+ with people promising £6 then £8 then the moon , guess what plenty are down 25% , is that not risky?

Facts are over the last 18 months or so, the share has been higher 90% of the time than the current price, so most of the investors are losing, thats a risk is it not? , so your argument doesn’t hold water that this is some sort of gold plated investment as it’s clearly not.

The clown DATATIT average is well above £5

I will not be baited into an argument, you keep gambling, I'll keep investing. Best of luck. I'll drop a fiver into your hat if I see you by the roadside at some point in the future...
