RYANAIR - THE PEOPLE'S AIRLINE IN THE SKIES

Advantages: Cheap tickets, lots of destinations
Disadvantages: Secondary airports, 'point to point'

...Santiago de Compostela, travelling with Ryanair from London Stansted. To be quite honest, I believe that we live in one of the most beautiful countries, with lots of things to do and Britain does not have the reputation of being especially expensive when compared to the rest of the world. However, there are times when we feel we need to broaden our horizons, and that is when we decide, assuming that we can afford it, to travel abroad. This is where ...
...it does to fly with Ryanair from London to Spain. SO WHY IS RYANAIR SO CHEAP? None of its planes appear to have suffered a history of defects or problems, and most of there aeroplanes appear to be fairly new and modern. So how can they offer such cheap fares? Ryanair is predominantly an internet company. By this I mean that they sell their tickets through the internet www.ryanair.com. By doing this, the company saves literally millions ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

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 ...

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 ...

Review of Virgin Atlantic Airways - VIR

Easy Jet Online

Advantages: Fix the problem if you can prove they are at fault
Disadvantages: Online flight changes, means you must check e mails regulary

We booked a flight to Italy Marco Polo Airport, using Easy Jet on line. What a nightmare! Firstly they have a policy that they must give 14 days notice if they change your flight. Well guess what they changed our return flight, they did give us more than 14 days notice, however this did not stop us from losing a day of our holiday as we were given an earlier flight. To ensure that all deatils were correct i printed off confirmation of the flight ...
...Bristol airport to check in for our oward flight we were told that our outward flight had changed also!!! we were 24hrs early! which means that we had now lost 2 days of our holiday!! After much discussion we were given a flight from Gatwick, only problem we had to make our own way there from Bristol!!! Again much dicussion took place.... They agreed to transport us to Gatwick sousce a hotel and pay for our evening meal. we had to pay all costs ...
