"Accordions on a plane. Rules for musical instruments are complex. On Ryanair a cello needs its own seat in the name of "EXTRA ITEM SEAT". I was unaware easyJet allowed squeezeboxes on board and that the bellows expand. Offers for the best accordion tunes to busk with on planes"

""Creeping delays" where the wait gets ever-longer are infuriating especially while the airline is flying hundreds of other (and empty seats) on other flights to Milan. Gatwick is easyJet's main base; Milan Malpensa is the largest in Continental Europe"
