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

The classy low-cost airline

Advantages: Good value, nice cabin crew.
Disadvantages: No freebies

I recently flew Aer Lingus for the first time in 16 years! My first flight with them had been as a small child travelling on a family holiday to the USA. We had to go from Heathrow to Dublin, then onto Shannon and finally to Orlando. They used to be a full service airline but now are less so. They have cut back on a lot of routes but still fly extensively in Europe and a few flights to the USA via Dublin/Shannon. On the European flights there is ...
...and service standards. Last year Aer Lingus opened a crew base at London Gatwick so I took the opportunity to book flights to Malaga with them. Aer Lings are the Irish flag carrier, have just over 40 planes, fly to 70 airports and employ 4000 staff-if you think that BA employs 14,000 cabin crew alone it gives you some idea as to the airlines size! Why did I book? It would have a been a lot easier to fly from my local airport at Bristol or even fly ...

Review of Aer Lingus - EIN

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

Etihad Airlines

Advantages: great for non jews
Disadvantages: Not good for jews

.... It would seam that Etihad Airways now have the abilaty to give Kosher statues, unfortunately for your company You do not have the ability or the authority to grant/give Kosher certification, and in the USA this is a federal offence and punished with a minimum jail term. It would seem strange that Etihad offer a vast choice in inflight catering from Halal to Vegan , but for Kosher out of Abu Dhabi non existence, strange as Rabbi Canntor out of BangCock ...

Review of Etihad Airways

NO to TAP, never again

Advantages: good food, good on air service
Disadvantages: delays, very bad on ground services, bad and wrong informations

...over Lisbon Our experience with TAP was actually pretty bad. We booked direct flights from Stockholm to Lisbon. Before that we had to come to Stockholm first from another town of Sweden and in Lisbon we changed flight again with TAP to go to Funchal. Aproximatly 1 month before the trip (when prices where already very expensive for flights to funchal) we got the information that our flight back will be led over Oslo. this ment for us, we will reach ...
...the street infront of the TAP office. So the day we traveled home, we waited there already 20minutes before the bus started...and waited ... and waited.... and waited... But no bus came. So we had to take this very expensive taxi instead. summarized, I do NOT recommend to anybody this Company!!! Its a very very bad service - at least on the ground. The service in the plane and all can be as nice as it is, the things around are just crappy. We spent ...
