Another difference is that Easyjet website works while AF's keeps bugging. If I value my time lost on AF trying to book that ORY-NCE ticket at any reasonable hourly rate, then AF is extremely expensive!

Edited to add: Just an illustration. I was trying to book my return flight. For twenty minutes the website kept telling me that the name and FB number did not match (although they did and I was connected under my FB number). Finally it started to work. But when I try to pay with my location in Hong Kong, the system insist for a zip code. Hong Kong does not have zip codes and the address on all my credit cards is in Hong Kong. I tried bogus zip codes (including none) but none were accepted (" the format of your zip code is not that of your country"). Then I tried to enter a bogus French address in France and it worked. As they have no way to check the address, I did not care. But having already lost over 30 min, I decided that AF would not have my business and did not proceed to the VbV verification. SAD. It is good to offer MiNi or FLex fares that are claimed to be low,as well as free newspapers, but when IT does not follow, Easyjet is a more convenient alternative!
