Never fly budget airlines. Pay the premium and just go on a normal

I fly from Luton because it's local. An 0700 flight is bad enough
without a 2-hour end to end journey to Thiefrow.
And also you have to consider the costs to getting to the airport. For me
to Athens, Heathrow costs about 35 quid/3 hours on the bus, while Luton is
12 quid/1h20. There are times when BA matches EZY on price, but not with
the extra time, bus fare, and increased risk of missing the flight due to
M25 delays.
(A new option is Aegean from Stansted, which is good but a bit on the pricey
side most of the time)
