We are thinking of flying from Gatwick by Easy Jet some advice and any tips would be most welcome. Will be traveling 5 th October for a week, is it worth paying for speedy boardings, and can you purchess refreshments on board ? Also thinking of 2/3 days in Thessaloniki before going back try to meet some old friends. Any chance that you may be around magoose ? thanks

Hi Alanapp
in my opinion speedy boarding is not worth it, yes you get called first to boardm, but if you are at the airport early enough you can get the first boarding call, which is just after speedy boarding and still have the pick of the seats as not a lot usually take advantage of speedy boarding,
you certainly can purchase food and drinks onboard the aircraft, usually sandwiches, crisps and the like, although sometimes they do hot paninis etc etc as well. Being onboard it is usually more expensive than purchasing in the airport. Or you could just go to the sandwich shop in the airport and get supplies in, they wont take them from you!
Would love to know your opinions on the new easyjet service to thessaloniki when you return, as in cost etc and what you thought.
Am hoping that they will extend the service to start to fly from a northern airport next year as well!

Hi Alanapp (surname not Appleton like mine perchance?)
Flying Easyjet to Thessaloniki on Sunday (can't wait - even if it is 5.50am take off!) for 17 days! and have paid for speedy boarding etc. I am happy to let you know of my experience when I get back. The last couple of years we have flown with BA but this year Easyjet were much cheaper (£120 each return, booked early January) so no contest. Five and a bit more sleeps (can't really count Saturday night as we will leave at about 2am) and although we have been several times before, I am sooooo ready for this!
Regards
Shirley

Remember, Hanioti is about 60 miles so the taxi fare of around 70-75 euros is not so bad when you compare taxi rides in the UK. My sister once got offered a place on a tourist bus at the airport for her and her husband at 25 euros each though, but the trip took nearly two hours as it stopped at all the hotels.
