Easyjet Geneva queue
 

Yesterday the Easyjet queue snaked round the zone 5 end of the
departures hall, all the way down the hall and out of the zone 1
entrance. I don't suppose that this is a record!

On the +ve side this was the first time in four years that our flight at
18:45 to Gatwick was not cancelled.

British Airways scheduled, booked well in advance, is sometimes cheaper,
and generally not much more, and doesn't have all the Easyjet
disadvantages.

Oh, and this year has been booked for a family of four on the frequent
flyer miles, so free, which is even better....

Not "free" though, if it's BA, as you still have to pay all the taxes
with real money. Swiss/Lufthansa Miles&More miles allow you to use
miles for the tax parts too.

Anyway, where are you off to - the usual cheepskate Bareges?

Ours was £20 a head. Doesn't Sleazyjet charge that for a suitcase or
summat?

You're right, though - some rewards schemes are more generous. OTOH,
Anne and I are both BA Silver, so we get an extra baggage allownace
(very useful, is that), and access to the BA lounge at LHR, plus one
guest each, so that takes care of everything.

Les Portes du Soleil, on 5 January. Staying in Avoriaz.

One of my better efforts was to get my business class ticket from
Washington to London upgraded to Concorde. Apart from the upgrade I
also got the Concorde airmile allowance. Enough for a return trip to
Zurich with the family.

I briefly, i.e. for one year, had Gold BA exec club status, so I could
use the 'other' BA lounge at T5. The one where there's a choice of 5
champagnes and full à la carte dining all included...

I used to time my trips back from the US to ensure I had four or five
hours at LHR just to get the max benefit from it...
