I was watching that show based around EasyJet the other day and realised that almost everyone on that show is a compete and utter prick.
From larger louts to attention seeking love sick twats, the only person who I felt looked good on that show was the bird who was in the papers who got cancer, and even then I didn't like her exploitation, but it ovbously paid for private care which is why I presume she did it (along with the stuff it did for breast cancer awareness).

Anyway, what you did, to get through to the departure's lounge, was a massive breach in security, esspecially if they took your bags. Someone could have really fucked up someone's shit on that.

This is what surprised me most of all
Admittedly I checked in online, but the guy at security scanned my boarding pass - surely he'd have spotted something awry, like me being 26 hours early for the flight? Of course, I only had hand luggage with me - presumably if I'd had hold baggage with me, somebody would have said something much earlier (and saved me waiting for two hours to be let out of the departure lounge).

I was under the impression that you couldn't get into the lounge over something like 4 hours before the flight, maybe even less on short-hull.
And if I was designing the machines, I wouldn't let them spit out the ticket in something like over 18 hours (therefore accounting for people who are at a local hotel, and even then, maybe intrigrate the hotel booking into the system).

I once got a flight with Ryan Air to Larnica from Gatwick, over the phone because it was an emergancy-flight and their website was down.
I turn up at the desk and get my ticket and the return is 'pathos', now that's the differance between Heathrow and Newcastle; quite a fuck up. I get there and they say "Don't worry about it, you can change the ticket when you arrive at Larnica". So I get there, and yes, I can change the ticket, for [something like] £140 on a £80 flight, it would have been cheaper for me to pick a new flight with the same airline, than to change the booking.

In the end I told them to go fuck themselves, stayed in cyprus for an extra couple of weeks (at the time, I was still enjoying my trips there), and flew home with BA.

My cousin insists on using Monarch from Luton now, the differance is like £20, but BA saves more than that in the taxi there, and the seats are so much better, and includes food and drink. She's one of these people who has to have it her way though.
