I would definately recommend this airline after travelling with them from Manchester to Malaga.

PUNCTUALITY

Our outbound flight was 30 minutes early and our inbound flight on time.

IN FLIGHT

On both occassions we flew on new Boeing 737-800 planes and had plenty of legroom.
My only gripe would be the slow trolley service on the inbound flight, but again this is minor.
Very clean and modern seats and aisles
Staff made you feel safe and were always helpfull.

VALUE FOR MONEY

It might be worth noting I held off buying my tickets till a week before my departure time and the price of the tickets actually fell to £55 each return from £100 each.

LEGROOM

Legroom on the aircraft was very good, I'm not that tall and neither is my wife but we both struggled on a flight with jet2.com from Faro for legroom.

FOOD

Sorry I'm unable to comment on this as I took my own on board. It didnt seem worth paying the extra £10 each way for a tray of miniscule food.

Hiya. I would give a higher rating for some of the details listed below as per Dudo Perudos and LJs comments. Do keep going with this you will be great in no time. Again leave me an address book message if you do make changes.

I've heard how bad these guys are and wouldn't touch them with a barge pole though feel the review would benefit with more detail. Comparative prices. Experiences of trips with other airlines...your list of recommendations...a bit of history on the airline...check other reviews. If you re-write I will re-rate....just leave a message in my guestbook. Respect. Terry

Welcome to Ciao. For higher ratings you might want to include more detail such as were there meals on board, if so what were they like, were the staff helpful, was it clean, etc. You might find it useful to look at other airline reviews - especially those rated 'very helpful' for other ideas of what to include. x
