The following is a formal complaint to the CAA sent 26th May 2017. The message is - stop pandering to the needs of drunken louts and actively protect the welfare of the majority of well behaved passengers. When those louts comprimse passenger welfare and potentially flight safety actually do something about it and send a claear message that this behaviour will not be tollerated. "I wish to register a formal complaint with respect to flight EZY426 Edinburgh to Bristol 26-05-17. A group of at least 6 male passengers and principally the occupants of seats 21 A,B,C and 22 A,B,C were clearly intoxicated and disruptive before boarding this flight in Edinburgh. They were also abusive and disruptive throughout the flight. They made fun of and humiliated the female cabin crew throughout the safety briefing and made it difficult to understand what was being said. Whilst one member of the female cabin staff asked them to moderate their behaviour she was ignored and also subject to abuse which she ignored. Despite the fact that these passengers were clearly drunk, the flight attendants continued to serve them alcohol which made their behaviour worse. The female fight attendant asked us if we wanted to move seats midway through the flight but there was little point in trying to move my 79 year old mother and 83 year old father at this stage. No further attempt was made by the cabin staff to subdue the disruptive passengers. The Cabin Manager "Charlie" was conspicuous by his absence allowing the more junior female flight attendants to try to deal with the disruptive passengers. He made no attempt to deal with their behaviour directly and was clearly intimidated by their behaviour. Towards the end of the flight the Cabin Manager alerted to my concerns, asked my mother "what the problem was?" - a clear attempt to absolve himself of any responsibility and a wholly inappropriate way to deal with the situation. We continued to suffer abuse for the remainder of the flight with the underside of my seat being kicked deliberately and the passenger in seat 21A who was clearly drunk, pushed my arm from between the seats and became extremely abusive. Upon landing I reported the drunken and abusive behaviour to PC3403 Julian Cornwell of the Bristol Airport Police Unit and requested that he formally note the complaint. He noted that the ground staff at Edinburgh Airport should have prevented the disruptive passengers from boarding and that it would have been within the gift of the flight crew to have requested that the offending passengers be detained upon arrival. He also noted that the police were impotent in dealing with this sort of behaviour and that "no EasyJet flights would leave the airport if he had to arrest all of their drunk passengers at boarding". The behaviour of the EasyJet flight attendants and the Cabin Manager in particular were clearly tolerant of and did nothing to prevent the disruptive offensive and abusive behaviour of a group of young male passengers. They were clearly intimidated by the behaviour of these individuals and continued to serve them alcohol. I will be copying this complaint to EasyJet and the Airport Police at Edinburgh Airport. This sort of behaviour has the potential to compromise flight safety and passengers should not be subject to this sort abuse. Can I be assured that the CAA will take this matter seriously and perhaps request a review of protocols which allow intoxicated and disruptive passengers to board aircraft? Further, can I be assured that ground staff and appropriate officials at Edinburgh Airport will receive formal correspondence on this matter?"

Been thro 3 times in last 6 months. Twice arriving once departing. 1/ Suitcases take ages to collect. 2/ persons meeting passengers confused re which terminal to wait at. They couldn't find info, talking to other people they had the same problem. 3/ signage to short-stay carpark poor. Drove round loop 3 times when catching flight without success so they had to leave me at drop off Zone, resulting in upset parents as I live in Australia and they don't see me often. Plan was to have coffee n say goodbyes. Overall it's the most unwelcoming international airport I've been through and if it wasn't for the excellent Qatar scheduled flights I wouldn't use it.

Prebooked carparking very badly signed. No seats at Depature gate 21! Will avoid in future.

The answer on a question (i do not speak English excellent, but i can communicate, more or less...) was unpolite: i didn't understand the loud speaker, and so i asked the woman from the gate for an explanation, who made the impression of annoyed. The gate number was displayed very late, at the same time as boarding started.

The scanner system for the boarding passes before security was a joke took us 40 mins to get through...

They give you tiny bags for your liquids and made me throw away the contents of my second bag as you're only allowed one. It's quite discriminatory in my view as women typically carry more liquids. Plus, the system for putting your stuff in boxes for security is also really messy and confusing.

1. Long queues at security with only tow gates open. 2. Went to lounge since flight was delayed until 23.00 and discovered that it closed at 20.30.

Wie bereits beschrieben haben wir die Whiskyflasche in Frankfurt abgeben müssen weil die Mitarbeiterin von Ihnen sie nicht in eine Tüte verpackt hat. Bitte lesen Sie meine Ausführungen in der Bewertung und teilen Sie mir bitte mit, wie wir die Angelgenheit regeln können. Gruß Christine Richter

Flight to Stanstead from gate 32 was a shambles. 3 flights leaving from 3 gates close by. No one controlled the queues which meant people were all pushing past to get to the gate. Staff were completely oblivious to.what was going on

Arrived for 7am flight to Birmingham in plenty of time. Had already checked in and immediately proceeded to security which took over an hour and only got to the Departure Gate at last boarding call.

Security is a farce. Travel through every week and you are going backwards with security. Access roads need sorted - sitting in a traffic jam at 5.30am is ridiculous!

What's with the parking system, cars are parking on the approach roads, Parking fees that seem to ratchet up pretty fast. Hire Car drop off and pick-up within the dedicated pick-up area. passengers looking for taxis wandering all over the drop off area, lost and confused. Cars staying in the drop off bays, such that passengers are alight on the centre of the road. PS I'm a taxi driver from St Andrews doing regular drop off and pick-ups..... big piss off is your police moving taxi drivers away from the only flight information board at the coach park. would be nice if app said "baggage at Carcelle" which is my trigger to go to the pick-up area - that gets me in and out quicker so cheaper for me and more cars through for you

Transferring from EasyJet to Logan was not at all easy, the bag drop was not intuitive and most staff at desks etc. were disinclined to offer much help.
