A friend found some super cheap last-minute flights to the Caribbean for the four of us (two couples), I was thrilled and not about to say no just because it was a charter flight. My boyfriend was less enthuastic, and thankfully more realistic about what eight hours in sardine tin hell would be like. For a supplement of £40 we could get "upgraded" to larger seats (a little larger then the Virgin economy seats), which we did at his insistance. I cannot emphasise strongly enough what a good idea this was - unless you're under 10 or a professional contortionist the regualr seats are basically unbearable on a longhaul flight. Imagine taking a commuter train to the Caribbean and you get the idea.
The food, while not fabuolous, was edible; but again my resourseful boyfriend had packed us sandwiches and munchies so I only just tasted it out of curiosity.
The cabin crew were very polite and helpful, which is unfortunately more I can say for the other passengers who were on the whole loud, selfish, whinging and drunk.
It worth it 'cause it's cheap; and you can make-up for it by bringing your own. So bring nibbles, and especially bring water as the drinks carts are few and far between, and they ran out of the bottled spring water pretty sharpish anyway.
