I was told that the winter / Christmas flights were generally "lighter" and fewer. However no-one seems to have told EasyJet this and they are running a near-on full summer schedule. With the added bonus of ski luggage. Every plane is packed. Eight planes I did today had over 160 bags on them. I'm more knackered now than I was during the peak in summer.
Austerity? Recession? Can't see it from where I am.
