easy… tiger II

looks like it’s not just easyjet that isn’t any cheaper than it’s mainstream rivals. easycinema is having similar problems according to their comments.
Ruth says”Cheaper seats? I don’t think so!!! The only prices under ?4.50 is ?1 off for attending on a Tuesday or for a non English speaking film!”
Brian says “Can I just say? What started as a good idea has turned into a farce. If I go on a tues it is actually cheaper (?3.50) to go to the Xscape.”

In addition you can book by phone apparently according to the graphic ?9 a call seems more like west end prices to me.

easy… tiger

Am I missing something here? So Stelios Haji-Ioannou (the man behind the expensive yet marketed as cheap) easyjet has bought a heap of easy related domains. Including easyhotel and easypizza. This makes him an entrepreneur allegedly. A number of easyXXX websites state”We are currently investigating business opportunities in the XXX market.”
I could do that too but it doesn’t make me an entrepreneur! In fact ‘easyvalue’ is simply a rebranded kelkoo (luckily it’s the same brand colour).
I’m still wondering how people think easyjet is cheap though.
A quick search for a weekend in Amsterdam (leave friday around 7 and return sunday around the same time) reveals the price for easyjet ?401.96 and for bmi ?398.80 and for BA ?449.40 – hardly a cheap airline then – in fact more average priced I would say.
And as for ‘easyhotel’ who would really want to sleep in a bright orange room. Sorry Stelios but that’s taking branding too far.
