Flybe is another one of these budget airlines running from local airports. This allow travel to be easy for anyone. I live in Bournemouth, but because they don't fly from my home town, I have to take the short trip to Southampton to fly.
I use Flybe to travel to the alps for my skiing trips. They fly from Southampton to Geneva and Chambery.

Service

The service is as you expect from any low cost airline. They obviously don't pay as well as longhaul, so you get a couple of staff on the trolleys and thats it. I have never tried the food on board but it appears to be overpriced to me and the sarnies don't look too good. You are only on the flight for a couple of hours at worst though, so its not a problem if you don't eat or drink.

Comfort

The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of legspace. Can't complain at all.

Puntuality

I have only been on one delayed flight with Flybe. That was delayed by 45 mins, but 30 mins was made up in the air. Looking at the departure boards, it seemed as if it was only the UK internal flights being delayed when I travelled.

Value

How cheap do you want it? I travelled Southampton - Chambery for £50.00 return including taxes. Now that is good! Geneva was more expensive, but it is a far more commercial airport
