EasyBid - OnLine

Away from your home computer, at work or on holiday and you still need to do your bid?

Using a Mac and don't want Virtual PC?

Just have a PDA?

Now you can use EasyBid OnLine!

EasyBid OnLine is an alternative means of using EasyBid without having it installed on the PC you are using. So it can be used from an Internet Cafe, Hotel Business Center, Mac (without needing 'Virtual PC') or even a PDA.

It is not possible to use EasyBid OnLine from BA premises as BA have investigated and stated that their security policies do not allow the Remote Desktop Connections facility to be installed on their computers.

EasyBid OnLine is available now and can be used to create and submit eBids in exactly the same way as you use EasyBid on your PC at home. For technical reasons, Demo mode or seeing how you would bid on a different fleet are not available in the OnLine version. We're always happy to get some feedback so do let us know how it's working for you.
