Easy Jet may seem less expensive but actually it's not.
Firstly, every other company lets you have 2 bags with you, of which one is for laptop, and of course any assorted bags you have picked up at the airport. With Easy Jet, they let you have 1 bag, for any others, you have to pay.
Secondly, within the flight you have to pay for everything, including a glass of water. To top it all, because of all the security you cannot get any liquid from the outside and have it on board. Except for medicine which has to be checked before boarding.
Thirdly, a lot of times they fly from/to small airports where even getting a coffee is a luxury... Okay if you are flying to, but awful when you are flying from... Oh, and a lot of times getting to and from these airports is a hassle and costs twice as much as for the big comfortable airports.
So, compare the cost of the other airlines, with all the extras they give with Easy jet...
