EasyJet A319 experience, 2017.01.08


08 January 2017
U24479 (1325-1540) LYS-KRK
G-EZEG Airbus A319

Returning home via Cracow. Easyjet to KRK and then LOT back to Warsaw. From the second sector there will be no entry. Checked-in well ahead, got some decent seats. After arriving at the airport with the tram I head to the furthest terminal, terminal 3 which at that time was under some reconstruction work to make all work better. Thus you have to walk quite a lot to get to the check-in area and later back to the gates area. Beside the gates there is a very small choice of shops and accessories in them. You can see that it's a rather low-cost terminal. The gates have a waiting area for passengers after they've been boarded. So we stand there like cattle waiting for the plane to be ready to take us on-board. An aspect I really detest when flying low-cost airlines in Europe. On board I get positively surprised that the seats do recline. Not much, but still. Legroom is as I expected. The better views (alps) are unfortunately on the other side. On the other hand we get a nice view of Cracow city on approach.
Overall, a low-cost flight - a low-cost experience. Not too comfy but gets you from A to B. Still, the reclining seat was a plus, one of the few... I did get what I expected, not much more, and a little less at Terminal 3 in Lyon.
