I'm slanting toward BA as I have better personal experience with them than easyjet and it's only about £60 more (for both of us both ways)...
What would You do?
*edit* - as it's only 2.5 hours not too fussed about in flight entertainment or food
I went BA business class to Naples last year & it was actually quite reasonable - about £400 return. In July too. Well worth the extra money - it's a holiday after all.
But yes, Iberia & Alitalia are pretty awful so if you don't want to splash out I'd go EZ.Comment

It's looking like BA - IT systems permitting. We'll eat in duty free and take our own snacks for the flight. I'll have my headphones and laptop to binge-watch something (haven't decided what yet - maybe another poll for what to watch? Although GOT will be out by then so it might be a done deal...)."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

This race to the bottom is creating a market for a posh(ish) airline that crosses Europe in style. I reckon people will pay.Hard Brexit now!

Just go with the cheapest and use the £60 for a nice meal.
I still use it as it's the only way to get an extra legroom seat & join the priority baggage drop. Doesn't really matter if you're not first onto the plane now they have allocated seats.Comment
