That those on board were taking a chance by flying on it? All "budget" means nowadays is that you don't get a complimentary G&T and stale sandwich. The maintenance of the aircraft is just as good as that of the "premium" carriers. Zackly! You can leave their bikes behind no matter how much they pay for a seat.... Bikes shouln't be on planes full stop. If you want to persue your ridiculous, non-combustion engine, mode of transport, then simply hire one when you are there and boost the local economy. easyJet's problem is they fly A319/A320s - and you can get the bikes in their big plastic boxes into the holds due to the large hold doors. You can't get them into a Boeing 737 as the hold doors are too small. So that rules out Ryanair, Thompson, Norwegian and some BA planes from Gatwick. easyJet are simply overrun as a result. let them get a ferry and cycle there.........
