Thank you to everyone who has been following our journey
I just wanted you all to know that we are now in Spain
Our airport experience could not have been more different
We sailed through security
No alarms
No scans
No searches
And I am so pleased and relieved
William could not believe that we were through
He kept asking
When do we have to see the blue man?
When will I have to stand in that box?
When will we go through security?
Will I have to be searched in Spain?
He simply could not believe that we were through
Without any of the trauma of the day before
We arrived at our gate in plenty of time
And of course we boarded late!
We boarded around the time
We got to the gate the previous day
I think that they call it Sod’s Law
(not a phrase I often use!)
Once on the plane
The Easy Jet staff were unable to seat me with my children
The plane was full and there was not much they could do
A very kind couple agreed to move so that I could at least be with Bea
Esther and William sat separate from me
And from each other
But they coped wonderfully
I was immensely proud of them
And so thankful to the kind hearted people around us
Who helped the children when they dropped things
Or when they were trying to get things out of their bag
I am also so thankful to the people who took the time
To tell me how well behaved my children were
And they were
They were awesome
Once safely landed in Alicante
And reunited with our bags
We ran out to find Grandpa
And everything that had we had been through
Was made okay
And now we have ten days of sun, sand, sea and swimming pools
With Nanny and Grandpa
Before taking to the skies again
Would I fly solo with my children again?
Absolutely!
Because they are amazing
And we as a family can cope with anything
And we love an adventure!
Would I fly with East Jet again?
Yes
Because as I stated in my original post
It was not Easy Jet’s fault that we missed our flight
It was a series of unfortunate events
And these things happen
Today every one from Easy Jet I dealt with
Was friendly and keen to help
What a difference a day makes!
I do hope that in the future Easy Jet will make it possible for families to reserve seats together for free. I understand paying for extra leg room or a seat by the window, but parents should not have to pay to sit next to their children.
Ahh! I’m so pleased things went well this time….
It sounds like your children did you proud! Well done them!
Have a wonderful holiday x
We totally agree when you book you should get seats together without paying extra. Especially when it involves children. When you book you state the ages of the children so they know. It seems all they want is extra money regardless of the circumstances. I have had many flights for business with easy jet and generally y it has been OK. I found the cabin crew particularly helpful and polite. I have though had a couple of very bad experiences which I wrote to east jet about. I voiced my disappointment and concerns. This was in march. To this day I have not had a response to my letter. Hey ho they have got my money so what. I am glad you have had a better trip and hope you and your children enjoy your holiday
