Agreed. Unfortunately, EasyJet sometimes don't understand this concept, either. In January, when I was flying back from Egypt to Geneva, the plane was supposed to arrive in Geneva at 2200 hours. Starting that morning, I decided to follow the plane that was supposed to do it online. Its flights that day were London - Geneva, Geneva - Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm El Sheikh - Geneva. Already leaving from London to Geneva (so at 10 AM), it was running three hours late. The Geneva airport closes at midnight. At 10 AM that day I know that there was no way it was going to make it in time. Apparently, I was more in the know than the people running the thing. We had to go to the airport, do the check-in, wait around. The plane arrived 3-4 hours late as expected. We got into the bus, we were in front of the plane, when someone finally decided to call Geneva and ask if they were going to let us fly in. Of course, their answer was no, they weren't going to pay their staff 2 hours of overtime because a budget airline flight was running late. To their credit, they put us up in a hotel, but I couldn't believe their incompetency. All the wait for something I had known was going to happen 12 hours before. I mentioned this to the pilot and he said with a droopy face, and I'm not kidding, "I thought they were going to make an exception for us." Sweet Jesus, man, is this your job or not?

I could have snorkled for an extra day, is all I'm saying.
