Flybe

In the last few years the 'no frills' budget airlines have allowed us all to take advantage of cheaper flights. City breaks in Europe are now within easy reach financially & many have people have taken advantage of weekend retreats in Europe close to an airport thanks to regular air services that are within budget. It was a 'wake up' call for the likes of British Airways on how for so many years they were ripping us all off on the cost of short haul flights. I have used Easy Jet for many years & sometimes Ryan Air; they both provide a fairly good service at a decent price with good time ... more

I have flown with the flybe on several occasions now with mixed results. Flybe is one of Europe's leading budget airlines with 170 routes to 55 destinations throughout Europe. To see exactly where they fly to I suggest you go to their web site at www.flybe.com. Booking. *********** Booking a ticket with Flybe is very simple if a little misleading. I always book on line and the process is quick and easy. Having chosen your departure date you will be given a calendar with a variety of options and prices. However the initial price you will see is only the beginning! Travel insurance will be ... more

I am afraid of heights, let me get this straight before I start, I am so scared I cannot even go higher than three steps up a step ladder for fear of falling. So as you can imagine flying has never really been on my agenda, well until early May this year that is. I was going to attend a meet of folks from one of my most frequented websites, I had a lift and I was all sorted, until the lady I was going to go with couldn't get the time off work. Heeeelllp! Along came Ann, a PA in her job and the worlds best organiser. Before I could blink she'd found me a solution to my problem. I could fly from ... more

Do you people living in London and the Home Counties realise how lucky you all are? you can nip over to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton and hop on planes to almost anywhere in the world, including shock horror, a variety of locations in the UK, trust me, if you live in Wales then this is not a simple (or cheap process). My boss and I had a pending trip to Belfast and to get there needed a flight, the primary alternative was to drive to Liverpool and get the ferry (500 mile round trip – plus the crossing? I don’t think so). Hence, naturally our only other feasible means of transportation ... more

I see and hear so many things and have read some rotten reviews about Flybe, but I have just used them again this past weekend and have to say I have never had anything but excellent service with them. I use them several times a year flying from Southampton up to Manchester. I always fly on a Saturday morning (the 8.50am flight) and return from Manchester on either the 5 or 8pm flight. Only once I have been delayed in Southampton but that was only by 10 minutes, which we made up on the way, therefore meaning I landed at the specified time. I wish I could say the same for Air France who I used ... more
