I found flybe to be an overall good airline. When flying with them i checked in very quickly and was offered either and isle or window seat which was a nice touch. I was flying from southampton which is a very convinient airport to use, there are 2 dedicated check-in desks for hand luggage passengers only, in addition to this you can now check in online. The flight departed on-time. Once onboard the cabin is slighty cramped as the airline operates mainly small planes but the legroom is better than other low cost airlines. Although the cabin was cramped it did seem quite light airey and modern, they have used the space as best they can.
The crew onboard were very helpfull and friendly the only downside is paying for food and drinks although they did seem reasonably priced.
I got my flights for under £50 return so all in all for the money a very good deal!. (southampton - glasgow

thanks very much , thingywhatsit it cost me £45 return southampton to glasgow. so yes not bad length for the price. And Dan as for the routes the airlines expanding all the time but from southampton you can fly to most UK cities aswell as a fair few french and spanish ones and the airline is also launching flights to Germany. Donna i would recomend the airline, i have just booked flights with them again for in a few weeks time. Although i have said the planes are quite small you get a lot more legroom than other low cost airlines.

Might be an idea to tell people how far that 50 quid took you. If it was a fair length of flight, it would be cheap, but if you were going to Eastleigh, it wouldn't. See the difference. The detail you gave was good though.
