Back safe

Four hour delay there.

Three hour delay back.

By way of compensation for the four hour delay, they gave us free drinks on the flight. Woohoo. They didn't give them to us on the way back, though; I assume that giving every three-hour-delayed-flight free drinks would be very expensive for them.

Do not fly EasyJet.

Take the fucking train.

For UK destinations, I think that's almost right - if something does go wrong with one line, there's usually an alternative route. Plus when you add in the cost of getting out to the airport at one end and getting from the airport into the city at the other, the train does begin to look more and more attractive. The cheapest train tickets do tie you to a specific train though.

For Europe and further afield, there are no sensible alternatives that do not cost a huge pile of money.

Mind you, I've never had a flight delay of longer than about 30 minutes.
