Would travel with again

Advantages: Well looked after, provided with enough food and drink, fantastic experience
Disadvantages: Economy isn't really spacious but it was enough just!!!

...in Dubai for 2 nights, again we were well looked after on the flight. It really was a fantastic experience for a long flight and using Emirates for the first time was a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone and would not hesitate booking with them again. ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

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 premium rip off

Advantages: A way to get rid of money for nothing in return
Disadvantages: cash for nothing

We paid for the premium upgrade to Kenya and it was a disgrace. The flight was late leaving Manchester and the crew who were leaving the flight in Paris virtually threw our breakfast at us. The plane was dirty, we had no extra leg room, there was no priority check in or boarding. the welcome on board drink was a plastic tub of orange juice. The choice of wines was red or white! we were visited throughout the flight by people from economy who managed ...
...seat in premium. The staff were rude. The food was average. I went to economy and the leg room was great. Their food was the same but in plastic tubs, so what! Never again! I did however manage to get a full refund from the tour operator Thomas Cook, not via their complaints department which was useless but by emailing their Chief Executive. ...

Review of Monarch Airlines

great way to travel! very welcoming, friendly and comforting

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 ...
