Monarch Airlines have my custom again

Advantages: Friendly staff, reliable, value for money
Disadvantages: drinks too expensive and limited legroom

...for the first time with Monarch Airlines on 22nd December for a Christmas getaway to visit family. During the time of travel the country had very poor weather conditions (snow and ice) so delays and cancellations were across all UK airports and many airlines. Upon arrival at the airport I was happy to see Monarch check in staff controlling the queue which sped up the process of initial check in. I think it really makes a difference if the queue is ...
...the flight was standard to what I have seen before, selling perfumes, make-up, toys etc. I felt this was a really enjoyable flight and the staff made me feel like a valued customer as oppose to just a passenger on their airline. I would recommend Monarch to friends. ...

Review of Monarch Airlines

Ryan Air aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: having your soul sucked away

Ryan air! what's the first thing you think of when presented with this name!? cheap and cheerful!! well that was my first thought on them before I travelled on a stag party to Magaluf in September. The Cheap bit was right unfortunately not the cheerful. from the moment I checked in to the service I got on board it was very miserable. And while I appreciate the poor cabin staff must have to come up against some real problem passengers, I really didn't ...
...Now its time to move on to the price's on board. The only place you will pay more for a packet of crisps on the Watford services. we were paying around the £5 mark for a small can beer which added up to quite a bit of cash by the time we landed in Palma airport. The flight its self was smooth and without any problems and was completed on schedule. Now we come to the flight home which opened up a new can of worms altogether. We were a group of 15 ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

easy cancellation

Advantages: I don't see any
Disadvantages: I didn't fly thanks easyJet...

...expensive one (around 300€).I called easyJet 100 times, and sent many letters, but they still want to give me back only 100€, the price for my ticket with them. This is totally unfair, because I couldn’t wait due to professional reason, I think easyJet should refund me the total amount which is 400€. I sent a letter and proved that it was for professional reason, but they didn't care. I would never advice this company. Feel free to give me advice ...

Review of EasyJet - EZU

british airways

Advantages: comfortable, pilot staff, good food
Disadvantages: on short flights no entertainment as far as i can see is provided, can be a bit expensive

i personally found traveling with british airways from london to madrid, which i am basing this review on, an enjoyable experience. the staff where polite and seats were leather and were perfectly comefertable seat space was on par with the majority of other airlines. i highly recomend trying to sit next to the emergancy exits as you get a lot more leg room. the food on this short flight was surprisingly good quality, as i was flying at lunch they ...
...My only real complaint with british airways is that no form of entertainment seems to be provided on the shorter flights, which can make it at times a little dull. Though this i am sure is not that uncommon i have flown with britsh airways many times and so far each flight has been very good, even first class thoough on shorter flights this is in my opinion not worth the extra money. ...

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 ...
