According to the Manchester Evening News, YouTuber Nathan Emmings booked an easyJet flight to Alicante for £17 from London Southend Airport. Budget airlines such as easyJet use demand-based pricing rather than fixed prices, and easyJet operates an 'unbundled' pricing structure where the ticket includes basic flight and hand luggage, with extras like hold baggage or seat selection costing additional fees. Emmings paid an extra £30 for a seat on his £17 flight.
He said, 'This flight was costing £17, but the seat in general cost £30. So already you can see how these low-cost airlines are making their money. ' London Southend Airport has a new security system where nothing has to be removed from bags, streamlining the process.

Emmings claims London Southend Airport is the UK's best airport, describing the check-in and security process as remarkably efficient. He stated, 'Southend Airport has got the new security system whereby nothing has to come out of your bag. That just streamlines the process even more.
' He added, 'From walking through that front entrance to getting through security and down into a waiting area seat, I'm not joking. I do not think it took me any longer than five minutes. ' The specific date or time of year Emmings took this flight is not known, and it is unclear how the efficiency of London Southend Airport compares to other UK airports based on objective data.
Please, I cannot stress this enough, get dropped off at the McDonald's because that will save you £8.
