Taken September 2002 from Edinburgh to Mallorca via Luton

This was a flight from Edinburgh to luton to get a connecting flight to Palma.

The Edinburgh-Luton flight was only 55 mins long and was a bit late because of the late arrival into Edinburgh. We boarded the flight and got seats near the back on 737-700 G-EZJF (brand new aircraft). It was a very short flight and we had the inflight mag to read cruising at 39000 feet. On descent there was a sudden unexpected dip and it scared me. Even the steward almost lost his balance and had to grab roof. The landing on Luton's runway 08 was a hard one and I heard a few "Jesus", but it was a nice approach on the left hand side into Easyjet Paradise.

The wait was only 3 hours long I think, we grabbed a bite to eat in the terminal and we checked in and went through to the gates.

We boarded on time, on a 737-300 G-EZYK (old aircraft) and since we were 1st off the bus, we were able to secure only overwing exit seats, but there was only 1 extra legroom seat available and I got it and my parents sat in the other 2, but it made no difference cause there was masses of legroom anyway. The only problem was there was a hard bit across the seat that digs in to your lower back and is uncomfortable.

The flight was good and on time, and I slept for a bit even on a hard seat. We landed on time and got a taxi into palma (watch out for overcharging with taxis, we were 20 euros to get into palma with no meter on. It's overpriced because in the EasyJet mag the prices mention Palma Nova = 21 euros and Palma Nova and Palma Centre have a bit of distance between them), but well done EasyJet.:)

I like the new 737-700s. The 300s should be gone
