So, no self-move and the relaxation of using Easyjet for my emmigration. I do love Easyjet - all those who have paid for Speedyboarding come to the front...all those with only one leg or over eighty years old and accompanied by both parents are now free to board...hours later they generously call those of you with an 'A' boarding priority and you stand up thinking wahey...here I go...only to find that you and 148 other people have all been given 'A' boarding priority and you are now fist fighting for a seat with your loved ones. That said, it's half the price of 'Flybe' so who cares.
