Airlines

The most comfortable way to go half way around the world!

Advantages: Entertainment, Staff Friendliness, Value for money, Very safe, Cater for all needs
Disadvantages: Time from checking in to getting on the aircraft

...to share my experience with Emirates Airlines during my flight from London Heatrow, to Sydney Airport, via Dubai. One thing that all passengers like to take into account is punctuality, and I was glad to see that all 4 flights were on time or early and we were allowed onto the plane (although this did take some time from checking in) to get comfortable and relax immediately and start using the entertainment sources. They also made it very easy for ...
...an Arab airline, and they acquainted for 14 different languages for the duration of the flight. The service of the aircrew was very good. They always had a smile for the duration of te flights, and during a conflict which a couple in front of us had with a couple in front of them, it was obviously noted how calmly and efficiently they dealt with the problem and it was resolved with both parties equally satisfied with how the problem had been dealt. ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

Monarch Airline-Low Cost Airline

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: none

...spoke to a member of Monarch Airlines in Malaga they were straight away on to the problem and everything got sorted in less than 24 hours and they personally delivered her suitcase to where she was staying. When we booked my daughter in it was a little confusing at Gatwick to know which queue to go to apart from that they were very quick at the booking in desk. The staff were very helpfull and even though it was very busy they still were very polite ...
...and efficiently. Monarch Airlines have been in operational since 1968 and delivering a very high service to customers who wish to fly.. It started with just 2 aircraft but now it has many more and flys to 100 destinations or maybe even more.The airline has been successful and they adapt there services to what their customers want..and to the general change in travel. In 1971 the first jet service took place and the year 1972 they were carrying 5000,000 ...

Review of Monarch Airlines

Cheap and easy

Advantages: Affordable, punctual and simple.
Disadvantages: Costs for check-in(unless you use online), luggage charge and no seat assignments.

I regulary fly with with Ryan air from London to North Germany and i must say its one of the most punctual airlines i have flown with. i Have flown with other air lines going from Britain to Germany and vice versa and have been delayed and connect, flight delayed (sometimes 5 hrs +) and luggage lost. The maximum i have been delayed with Ryan air is 40 mins and i can safely say i have never lost any piece of luggage with this airline. The booking ...
...to follow steps, although you have to watch out as generally no luggage or check in charges are included in the original price, so expect a price rise when coming to these steps. But the flights are generally affordable so a little extra will not come as a massive shock. The flights do tend to rise rapidly over the last month and a half leading up to the flight so try to book early (the earlier the better), you can see the rise from day to day. ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

great way to travel! very welcoming, friendly and comforting

Advantages: great service while in air, relaxing environment
Disadvantages: none, really

My boyfriend and I booked a holiday to Rome last summer via expedia, and we wanted a good quality airline to fly with so we chose BA! I don't fly too much so I wanted to also be with a company I felt looked after with. And I felt BA fit that criteria for me. We flew from Terminal 5 in London which I'd strongly recommend - it's lovvvely. But yeah, to Rome everything went perfectly smoothly, we booked seats online and checked it online prior to getting ...
...was a lot less stressful. The plane arrived on time, and off we went, great and smooth piloting on the way, and we had free complimentary sandwich-rolls, a chocolate bar and a choice of drinks... which tbh, I didn't expect food as it was a short flight, so that was nice. You don't get that with the cheaper airlines. There were fold down tvs in the cabin so that we could look up at any point and see exactly where we were, and the approximate time ...

Review of British Airways - BAW

I recommend Virgin Atlantic

Advantages: Good value
Disadvantages: None

...to the UK with virgin 6 six times in 4 years. I would not consider any other airline. I usually go straight to their website to book flights as I have never been able to find it cheaper using any other site like cheap tickets or expedia etc. One time when booking flights for my pregnant wife and i we asked for bulkhead seats for extra room. When we arrived at the airport to check in the staff at the check in counter were expecting us and gave us ...
