Easy-jet can perhaps do without me, I fly to foreign destinations and take a bicycle and then cycle back. They have the problem of freighting the cycle. On this flight they were more pedantic than previously about `wrapping it up` in cardboard, but eventually helped me to find some. £16 to fly me and a cycle to Berlin from the UK? That`s what I call value and I am a Yorkshireman and we`re renowned for being careful with our money.

This is the fourth time I have used Easy-jet and I have been well pleased with them each and every time. They are very sound value, have never been late on take off and up to now, have never lost my cycle or luggage.

Try them. They widen airline travel to those whose life runs on a budget.
