My experience of flying with bmibaby has been three return trips from Newquay to Manchester. The fares were excellent (better than Air Southwest's fares for the same route and rail fares for the dates of travel), particularly when I booked well in advance. There was only one significant delay, of an hour, while an indicated engine problem was investigated. I couldn't complain too much about this safety first approach except that the hour was spent at Newquay Airport where the airside facilities are dire.
With one exception, one of the older check-in staff at Manchester who seemed to have an 'attitude' with my teenage son, the staff have been generally friendly. With the exception of a flight attendant, who wouldn't let me use a digital camera to take a 'perfect' photograph the biomes of the Eden Project as the Boeing 737 banked on the approach to Newquay (something I had planned from a previous flight), the staff have generally been helpful. The attendant's mistaken belief that the camera might emit radio waves must have been due to poor briefing.
Bmibaby is a no-frills airline that provides an affordable alternative to the railways for travellers from Cornwall to the North-west and North-east.

Sorry for the low rating. If you wanted higher ratings then you need to tell us more. Was it easy to book with them and check in? My advice would be to read around other travel reviews and you'll see what I mean. If you edit this in any way let me know via my guestbook and I'll happily re-read it for you.

It offers a lot more than travel for people in Cornwall of course. I have used them myself from Scotland to the Midlands, although my sister has done the route you did a few times
