MY TRAVELS AIRWAYS UPGRADE

Advantages: IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU ARE FIRST ON AND OFF THE PLANE
Disadvantages: SMALL CABIN WITH LIMITED SPACE

I went to my local Going Places to book a holiday for my girlfriend and myself to the Dominican Republic. This was our first trip away together and i wanted it to be special. The sales assistant was wonderful and did a great job of selling My Travel's 'upgrade' for both flights. As the day approached i became more excited about the prospect of 'being provided with first class facilities and service' which i supposed made the fall all that more painful. ...
...am 6 foot 4 and when i usually fly i book in advance an exit seat or the seat near the seperaters to provide me with adequate leg room. With My Travel's 'gold section' i had less room than i did flying to Sweden with a budget airline. Next the service.. As the elite cusomters we were served first with regards to food and drink, but we not fortunate enough to have our own Air Hostesses. So by the time the returned we had been sat in our own dirt ...

Review of MyTravel

Get rewarded well for travel!

Advantages: Good way of getting rewarded for ravelling
Disadvantages: Not as good as some north american airlines

Virgin are a group of companies that you couldn't fail to have heard of in recent years. Richard Branson has the built his companies off the back of being funky and fun, and, most of the time, has done this by poking fun at the more staid British companies you'd have normally thought of. Virgin have their fingers in many things, from cosmetics to space travel, but one of the most recognisable companies, especially from a global perspective, is that ...
...single 747 to Newark, USA. Virgin now fly to North America, Carribean, Africa, Asia and Australia, although obvious destinations such as Europe, Canada and South America are still Virgin free. From the UK, you can fly with Virgin from Glasgow, Manchester, London Gatwick and Virgin's base, London Heathrow. The basics. ---------------- Like most airlines, Virgin has their own frequent flyer scheme, or Flying Club, as they like to call it. You can ...

Review of Virgin Atlantic Flying Club

My Travel Airways - Not all bad

Advantages: Prompt departures, good inflight service
Disadvantages: They don't always get it right!!

...system. If you book Airtours holiday plus you get 4 free drinks vouchers for use on board which come in very handy, if you haven't got holiday plus or you have more than 4 drinks you have to pay. Drinks and snacks on the aircraft are quite expensive so it is well worth smuggling your own on-board!! Overall they are a good airline and are well worth flying with, as with all airlines you can have bad experiences but the good experiences make it really ...

Review of Airtours International - AIH

Beef schnitzel anyone?

Advantages: Good quality food and a impressive network in Eastern Europe
Disadvantages: Expensive in business and lack of menu variety

...Tirana on business. I chose Austrian is it was a colleague's preference and best suited the dates we needed to be in Tirana. It also provided me with a chance to travel on the Brussels (where I had to be immediately after my business in Albania), Austrian had an ideal connection (in fact they were offering two flights a day between Vienna and Tirana when I travelled). For convenience the BA flight direct from London to Tirana that commenced in Spring ...
...I was pleased to fly Austrian on this occasion, as I was interested to see how their business product compared with BA's club Europe. In terms of price they were considerably more expensive, but this was in partly due to the fact I needed two single tickets (as explained above). The Airline Austrian is what I would define a middle sized European Airline. As noted, it is part of Star Alliance and it seems to have quite close ties with another Star ...

Review of Austrian Airlines - AUA

German efficiency? Not in Valencia.

Advantages: Few. Possibly that I left the airport in under 24 hours.
Disadvantages: No interest in or respect for customer welfare during extreme wait.

...to Palma de Mallorca via Air Berlin. We were through to the departure lounge by 11.30am and waited patiently for our flight. 12.25 came and went without news other than the 'delayed' message on the TV screens, and nobody, including my partner and me, was quite sure whether to leave the departure lounge or wait for news as there were very few airport staff present to ask for information. Eventually, at 13.30 approximately, two Air Berlin representatives ...
...was offered to us by Air Berlin despite requesting us to wait for the representatives' return. By this time furious with the lack of interest in either ourselves or our possessions (would it have been so difficult to let us know where our baggage was?) we went up to the Air Berlin desk where a huge crowd of angry customers had gathered. You may ask why we didn't leave the departure lounge earlier: without any information for an hour after the due ...
