[Travel] Generation Easyjet: Your Top Three Destinations Please (RyanArians Need Not Post)

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not financially, airport taxes only on air miles tix

It's not all about the finances, the taxes or the air miles tho eh? Feel free to get in touch again should you ever acquire something a bit less swivel-eyed to the human experience of just having a nice time

 

[Live by the sea]

Easy for me

Nice
Santorini
Tel Aviv

Great memories from all three destinations.

 

[Guinness Boy]

1) Flew to Venice last September, group of 10 forty something blokes who've known each other for over 20 years and drove to Bovec in Slovenia. My God Slovenia is a wonderful place. Four days of kayaking (which I was shit at), canyoning (surprisingly good fun and certainly one to get the adrenaline going), hooning down the mountain side on giant scooters, hill walking, sun bathing, eating meat and drinking craft beer, Outstanding.

2) Also Italy - flew to Venice with my Mrs before we had the kids and backpacked / train rode down to Florence and then the actual city I'm nominating - ROME. Obvious perhaps but history, food, wine, history, football, food and more history. Undoubtedly our best holiday together as a couple so far.

3) Nicosia (ok that's not where the airport is but that's where I stayed). A few days for work but added on a holiday day either side of the meetings. Very different to holiday Cyprus. Ate meze and drank raki on expenses, got allowed to take a photo in "no man's land" by some mad Greek border guards, explored the old city. All the time in warm sunshine. Incredibly laid back. The streets (bars showing football excepted) are quiet at night, they still do that quaint thing us Brits used to do of taking Wednesday afternoon off and was woken by a muezzin's call to prayer, which was annoying and exotic at the same time.

So, all in all, Easyjet has been really good at cheaply taking me to airports so I could immediately bugger off somewhere else!

It’s an airplane, please don’t try and tell me that BA business class is a downgrade on Easyjet

 

[Change at Barnham]

Bordeaux is another cracker.
I flew there with mates to watch Ireland v Belgium in Euro'16.
An absolutely beautiful city.

Prague Best city in Europe

Fethiye

Krakow

Prague is great, but I think Budapest is better.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Have worked with more than a few Aussies in my time. Invariably one or other would turn up for work on a thursday or friday with a backpack packed and a half day booked. They never ever quite got their head around the fact that you could just jump on a plane and two hours later be on what might as well be another planet. Do that same length flight in Oz and you'd just end up in a more shit town than the one you just left

Never flown Easyjet? Comparing it against BA business class? Think you might be embarrassing yourself a bit here mate. Tho feel free to keep amusing us

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Easyjet, Ryanair, Norwegian, even some of the big legacy carriers, pick the right flight and book long enough in advance, there are often some great deals to be had.

My son and family fly Easyjet because it’s cheaper, flys BA business when travelling alone on business. ‘Nuff said? Easyjet are the best budget airline not the best airline

Easyjet is as good, if not better than BA economy. It is not better than BA business class.. fact. This is garnered from punter feedback

Spot on Chef.

I did Hamburg a few months ago, the last game there before lockdown.

We went Friday at 08.00, returning on the Tuesday, flight departing at 19.00 h.

Great city, great people, and all for £120 return. Defo going again next year.

We have a couple of Hamburg SV supporting mates, they came over for the Everton home game and loved it. They are still furious with their own teams' capitulation in the promotion race from Bundesliga 2! Quite fancy going to the Milternator though, having been in the away end with St Pauli a couple of times.

Seven years ago, outside The Queen's Head, before a game, this German chap asked me for a light.....

We started chatting. Turned out he'd come over to see his daughter, who was working as an au pair in Worthing. His daughter and wife said they were going to Lewes for shopping, and he said he's going to watch The Albion, despite not really knowing we existed.

Anyhow, we met after the game for beers, and became mates. He's come over every year since, bringing his son and friends, and he's become one of us.

He's a Hamburg STH, and this year my son and I went over, two nights in Hamburg, on the Saturday watching HSV play, and his mates gave myself and my son their tickets for the North stand, then two nights at his house up North, Denmark way.

Had the most beautifull time, with a family who are now my great friends.

Football eh? I fecking love it!!!!

Only you that's been banging on about Easyjet not being better than BA business class

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I’ve flown to loads of places with EasyJet. I think my favourite is Barcelona though, it’s a city I have a long connection with and a city I visit every year to just potter around eating and drinking.

 

[Sussexscots]

I like easyJet principally because it makes it straightforward and cheap for me to get up to Edinburgh for Hibs games.

That aside, Berlin and Budapest

 

[highflyer]

Time to stop pretending we can be using planes like buses without consequences.

Hopefully we'll see a change now, and will never get back to the absurdly cheap air travel, based on tax free fuel and a failure to price externalities.

And instead see more investment in decent, well priced train travel.

True but doesn’t make me wrong and I’m not

What a wonderful story, and typical of German hospitality. Hopefully your friends can make it over next season, and if they do you might want to show them The Evening Star, where my mates left a couple of HSV stickers on the wall in the gents!
