WOW thats alot of EasyJet airplanes!

[craiglsimons]

@Vunduva Yes, but Gatwick is their largest UK base, so you'd expect that!

Great video, The Pilot sounds very laid back and relaxed but at the same time gave out lots of info (as i have said before i like a chatty pilot) Sounds like the plane loads was close to 100% (My flight from PMI - LTN was 100% load of kids sat on peoples knees also) Was that a femail co pilot at around 10mins? 'My god its foggy' lol

@SCOTTCOD4 Thanks very much Scott! Yes, the pilot was very cool and gave lots of info on the flight. The plane was quite full, but there were still some spaces. Quite a few Easyjet flights i've been on, my dad has been able to sit on the outside and myself by the window with a spare seat in the middle. Informative lady co-pilot too. We had a few posh idiots behind being rather sarcastic on landing! We missed our regular Luton flight by 1 min and had to get this one! Fun in the end!

I take that it was a jetty once again I went to Alicante from Gatwick with Thomson I flew out on a Thomson 757 and returned on a First Choice 757 though I only filmed the return flight as the other wasn't very good I did mange also to film the bus journey to the plane which was made on one of the older Cobus 3000s.
