Easy Jet or Czech Air?

Just curious which others would choose.  I've checked out flights on both and the prices are comparable, and the flights are direct (no more connecting flights for me - EVER!).

I don't know, but when are we going?

consider the difference in pre-boarding experience. Does CzechAir have assigned seat numbers. I always find that there's an air of frantic panic in the crowd before boarding Easy.

I know, isn't it great! 

Well, that's why I'm asking.  I've never flown either of them.  Our last trip to Prague we went with Lufthansa which I will NEVER EVER EVER USE AGAIN.  (Rant is posted elsewhere in the Travel section.)

Anyway - I guess I could call CzechAir and find out if they do seat assignment.  That makes the difference between feeling like you're going on holiday or to the market!

I don't know, but when are we going?

Desperately would like to go in March - again.  It was lovely then...

I'm going to Prague on British Air. in Feb..direct flight and not super expensive either...just another thing to consider...

Thanks - but I don't do BA.  Just a personal thing.  Which does kind of suck, because their fares aren't too bad. 

Hi peedal

I would probably fly Czech air, but they are a bit pricey. If you still live in Kent and are looking for a cheap fare have you looked at

They fly out of Manston airport in Kent. Ive never used them but I have been tempted.

I've been tempted, too.  I think I'll look into Manston - if only because they need the business from what I'm hearing.   

Thanks for everyone's input!  If I can't get what I want out of Manston/EUJet, I'll probably go with CzechAir.  You get what you pay for, don't you. 

A group of us flew with Sleazy and actually all arrived on time.  Well on group was late, but it made it easier as we did not have to wait long for them!    Easy Jet does not bother me, but I have never flown Czech Air so Can't compare..

You have to pay for food and drink on Easyjet, you mgiht want to find out if Czech Air provides meals/drinks (and I don't just mean alchoholic ones!).  I've flown with Easyjet a couple of times to Scotland and had no problems but then again it wasn't my greatest flying experience ever either.  Its definitely budget. And if you think you might do a lot of shopping in Prague you might want to check their excess baggage charges.

Nah - we don't shop in Prague - just drink!  And eat!  So maybe I should look into charges for excess on me coming back!!

oh well in that case don't go on easyjet they are pretty tough on not letting people on if they've had too much plus you might get a free vodka or pilsner on czech air!

I loved my Czech air experience.  Everyone was super nice, the food was great and the flights were all on time.  Plus, they gave us real metal utensils....loads easier to eat that way!!

To me, it would be worth a little extra to fly Czech vs EasyJet...

oooohhh...need suggestions for places to eat and drink in Prague...please?  Already have a place to stay (very lovely Le Palais) but want a few places to go eat and drink!
