Flight West Airlines

Advantages: cheap, reliable
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, basic in flight

...BWIA, British West Indian Airways, or commonly referred to as beewee is an airline that flies to the west indian islands about once a week from Heathrow. This airline usually provide low cost flights to the west indies, and if you search for discounted air fares, you'll probably be offered a BWIA flight. BWIA prices are much cheaper than the Major airlines that serve the same destinations, however, in this case you definately do get what you pay for! When i last travelled to Antigua i flew with British Airways. My partner however, recently flew with beewee. It was our differing flying experiences to the same destination that promted me to write this opinion. BWIA planes are, i am told, one of the safest and reliable makes of aircraft.

Advantages: CHEAP!
Disadvantages: Small seats

...First of all, the two entries here before me doesn't do North West Airlines justice. At least no Mpnichols. Well, perosnally I travel with North West quite a lot from London to Toronto/New York (family ties) because it is 1) CHEAP 2) STUDENT DISCOUNTS 3) GOOD SERVICE (they try as hard as humanly possible to make your journey bearable) 4) NICE EDIBLE FOOD (unlike BA and Virgin! - both of which I have tried and did not impress me a bit).

I normally pay around 250 pounds return flights during the peak times (eg, my uni holidays). Compared to about 400 pounds onwards for other airlines. So in conclusion I... Read review

Disadvantages: Expensive food onboard.

...Flew to Bilbao in summer excellent trip £60 return and booked very close to date of travel! In flight magazine providied great information on destination really helped last minute planning. Recommended to all those people on atight budget taking independent holidays. Quite simply the best low-cost airline if you live anywhere apart from London-partciularly the South West where they fly from Bristol. Thanks easyjet for a great holiday. In general this airline is completely satisfactory, it provides very cheap european wide transport. It can't be criticised subjectively but can criticised objectively for those negative factors associated with low cost. flights. Overall though the best low cost airline for locality. But is not recommended for disabled passengers and other users suffering from health problems associated with the litlle leg... Read review
