My recent experience with EasyJet was riddled with avoidable issues and lacklustre customer service. Despite a delayed flight, the original check-in time was enforced, and a conveyor belt malfunction led to a chaotic situation where I was forced to buy a new bag for £115, pay an extra £48 at boarding, and leave my pre-booked checked bag behind. To top it off, I had to make last-minute transport arrangements at my destination due to EasyJet’s delay.
In response, EasyJet offered a £48 voucher—far from covering the substantial costs caused by their operational failures and limited to future flights within a year. For an airline that touts customer care, this response was underwhelming and dismissive. I expected better accountability and support for costs that were entirely beyond my control. This experience has certainly changed my perception of EasyJet’s reliability and commitment to customer service.
