For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think whether you fly with easyJet or British Airways, you are going to be just as likely to see that your flight is delayed or cancelled. Don't forget, BAA requested that airlines cancelled 30% of its flight initially and then later on said that 20% would have to be cancelled. As far as I am aware, flights are running as normal now. But to be honest, I wouldn't fly with easyJet anyway. They call themselves low cost but are seldom cheaper than our flag carrier.
I'm due to fly out with them on Tuesday night and they have emailed me to say that hold baggage has increased in weight to 25kilos (to allow for no hand luggage), one piece of luggage per person. Hand luggage may be the size of a brief case and maynot have any liquids, creams, gels pastes deo, perfume toothpaste aerosols et al!. You can only take on board a purse and money, reading glasses (no case) passports and I'm not sutre about mobile phones. It is all very confusing.
Here's the easyjet info

Easyjet have now put baggage weight down to 20 kilos again and still only one small hand bagge. They said to get to check-in three hours ahead but it was bedlam and the sensible people were turning up up late and going straight to check-in as their flights were due to go. It was havoc and a waste of time, so turn up a bit later. We left on time and it was a very pleasant flight.
