Nice EasyJet flight-reliable?

Hello,

I have a transAtlantic flight at 10 am from CDG and found an Easyjet flight from Nice to CDG the night before. Are these flights usually on time, etc? Seems much easier than the train.

Thanks.

I use Easyjet, usually London Nice, at least twice a month. Flights are rarely exactly on time but always arrive within 30/40 minutes of schedule. Only serious weather problems are likely to make things worse.

I agree with LondonBob as we use Liverpool-Nice Easyjet. However there is one other possible cause of delays:- Industrial action. If there is a warning of impending industrial action (in our case it was French Air traffic Controllers dispute) so that they do not have aircraft grounded out of position, Easyjet cancel flights that are likely to be affected. This happened to us on one of our return flights so we had to overnight and return next day. It%26#39;s not nice to get to the airport and discover no plane! And we had to pay our own extra night%26#39;s accommodation cost including 2 way taxis,cost of phone calls home and to arrange standby accommodation,extra meals.

And after returning we discovered that although many flights to and fro across French airspace on the day of action had encountered delays of up to 3 hours only Easyjet had cancelled flights and not just ours. Easyjet said that they had sent me an e-mail while we were away to warn me of the cancellation but of course I didn%26#39;t get it until I opened up my desktop on return.

But we still fly with them!

I%26#39;ve never flown Easyjet but I do know that their reputation for delays is not good. However, for internal flights, ie, Nice to CDG, I think you can be confident that you wil make he transatlantic flight the next day.

And don%26#39;t assume the train will necessarily be better. If the train drivers strike, which is not uncommon, there%26#39;ll be no trains.
