The airline that no-one has heard of!

Advantages: Good service, frequent flights, clean and modern fleet
Disadvantages: Poor food, can be basic

About the airline: Air Macau is the flag carrier (well only airline!) of Macau, it flies to 12 destinations, mainly in mainland China and it's hub is Macau International Airport. It was established in 1995, has 13 Airbus airliners and employs about 1000 people. Macau International Airport: The only airport in Macau, handles 5 million passengers a year and opened in November 2005. The airport is pretty basic. Buying tickets: I did not actually ...
...me and posted courtesy of Air Macau. I was also given a pillow and blanket. Onboard catering: The food was unfortunately pretty grim but edible and apparently the menu never changes! A plain salad, meat- which I assumed was chicken, with stir fried noodles in a brown sauce, semi stale roll and butter and a weird vanilla and coconut yellow, cold, pudding. They also do special meals which you need to order in advance-this might be worth doing as I ...

Review of Air Macau

Bye bye Mr. O'Leary.

Advantages: price
Disadvantages: treat you like nothing, no customer service, not punctual

I've been flying with Ryanair for a few years now. In the beginning, I found it pretty good in terms of value for money but not anymore. The more I fly with this company, the more I think the service is intolerable. My last flight was over 2.5 hours late. And on the one before that, they lost my luggage. how many mistake are they going to do? Scandalous when you know how much they charge you to check it in! At that price, how can they even justify ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

Ryanair is not good for business

Advantages: price if you are aware that you'll be late!
Disadvantages: not good for business travelers

I flew with Ryanair from Belfast to London Stansted. The whole experience was extremely stressful. First, I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to get to the airport... Then, because Ryanair can't do things like everyone else, and has its own set of rules in terms of luggage weight, insurane, (read them over carefully before agreeing to embark on this journey), there wasn't not one moment where one could sit back and relax before his flight. From ...
...end of the bargain, which Ryanair doesn't. It's not because you offer cheap fares that you can be late for example. My flight was 45 mins late and because of that, I was late for a meeting. I'd much rather Ryanair increase its prices than be late. And I'm not even going to mention customer service, which is, to say the least, inexistent. It is impossible for me to recommend this airline to anyone who is travelling for business and I wouldn't fly ...

Jet Airways

Advantages: value
Disadvantages: No drinks round

...change over in Mumbai. Jet airways seem to have a new fleet of aircraft, all aircraft are clean and well equipped, check in is effortless and customer service at the airport is fantastic. TV in seat with large choice of movies and some games with the usual cheap headphones and two prong plug Tip:(bring an adapter and use your own headphones) One strange thing though, no drinks round. A free drink was available but only at the time of the meal. Two ...
...these guys I think the trick is to ping your call button for a drink and not wait for the trolly but I didn’t see anyone doing this. Do take some snacks on board. Curry for breakfast shocked a few people onboard. Overall though I would use Jet airways again. ...

Wizz Air

Advantages: Almost Excellent airline to fly with.
Disadvantages: £4 booking fee if not using a Visa Electron card.

...is cheaper to fly with Wizz air on the outbound flight, and in using Easyjet on the return leg of the journey. I have found the website booking process to be very straightforward and easy to complete. When paying for the tickets the website is safe and secure in that it uses https as a secure method for paying for flights. I also like the fact that Wizz air offer convenient flight times and a daily service. What I do not like is that Wizz air during ...
...Electron card or has the Wizz air's own credit card. This aspect of the booking process I find most annoying which avoids me giving Wizz air a five star rating. Other than that the website is very good and smooth in providing customers with an easy and fair booking process. So far I have used Wizz air around three times and so far have been charged a staggering £12 in charges for using my debit card which at some stage would have amounted to most ...
