Get to the airport the easy way Article

By: Thanh Rabuse

Wandering through arcane and obsolete texts, as a student has want to do from time to time, I once stumbled across the original source for one of the most common quotes of our time. In his 1732 Gnomologia Thomas Fuller wrote ?'Tis money that begets money.? No truer expression of capitalism has been expressed, and it holds as true today as it ever has done.

Take a common example. Only if you have been on an extra terrestrial lunar-mining expedition could you be forgiven for never having heard of Stelios Haji-Ioannou's megalithic budget company Easyjet. Synonymous with the heights and decadence of the late 90s and early noughties, no company seemed to make so much money so quickly.

Mr. Stelios' success however sprang from his inability to stay still. The Easy Group is now enormous. EasyCar, which offers low cost car rental in 2,000 locations globally; EasyCruise, which attracts younger age groups to go cruising to various parts of the world; EasyBus, which offers low cost bus transportation between airports and city centres and EasyHotel, which offers low cost accommodation in city centres are the lynchpins, but they are by no means his only endeavours.

The newest addition to his empire is the EasyBus, an intercity express coach operator in the south of the UK. Billing itself as a no frills airport express minibus operator, using 19-seat Mercedes air-conditioned luxury mini-coaches on services from central London.

Staying away from the overpriced chaos of Heathrow, the Easybus offers services to the more affordable Gatwick, Stansted and London Luton. While these airports may be out of the way for some, the fact of the matter is they are the airports that serve the budget airlines anyway. If you are taking the easybus, chances are you're on a budget flight anyway.

Tickets are predominantly sold over the internet, although EasyBus has sales desks in all its airports, though ticket prices are usually higher if booked on the day of travel. Passengers who are getting on in London can buy tickets directly from the driver. For a budget company, the EasyBus baggage policy is relatively generous, allowing for one medium sized bag, plus 'hand-baggage', although an extra seat has to be purchased for larger items.

At the end of the day, the bus service is going to be every bit as popular as the Easyjet flights just because of their appeal to the cash strapped British public. Traditional bus routes are impossible to find your way around, taxis are notoriously unreliable and car parking at airports is almost criminal.

One must praise Mr. Stelios for his foresight and his entrepreneurial skills for finding yet another niche to offer the hard pressed British public another way to save money. The fact that he is making money out of us saving it is of no consequence either way. We are both happy.
