Advantages: Excellent low cost airline flying from many destinations to Germany Disadvantages: Not enough routes between the UK and Germany
I have just returned from Germany after my second trip with this wonderful low cost airline and thought that it was time to improve upon my previous review.
For those that have never heard of HapagLloyd Express (HLX) before, they are a German low cost airline of the same mould as airlines such as Easyjet and Jet2 based in the UK. They are a subsidiary of HapagLloyd who are a member of the TUI group that also operates flights through Thomsonfly, Corsair and Jetairfly. HLX operate throughout Europe from their main hubs in Germany and operate flights to the UK via Newcastle, Manchester and Birmingham.
They currently operate a fleet of 17 x Boeing 737's and 2 x Fokker 100's, with the average age of the fleet being just over 10yrs. This is only marginally older than the average age of the fleet of an airline such as BA and is indeed ...

Advantages: VERY cheap, comfortable, great service, expanding route. Disadvantages: Check-in and boarding can be less than fun.
I have completed five separate return trips with 'Hapag-Lloyd Express' (HLX) over the last 18 months, as both a business and leisure traveller, and I have to say that my opinions of the airline continue to gain some altitude! All of my journeys have been from Manchester, including the early-evening route to Cologne and three to Stuttgart, which depart at a similar time. There are in fact three flights with the airline that leave Manchester's terminal 2 within five minutes of each other, including HLX's third route to Hannover, the company's headquarters.
HLX took to the skies in 2002 and is slowly beginning to expand its network around Europe, including flights to the Med with the airlines bigger sisters, 'ThomsonFly' (formerly Britannia Airlines) and the German equivalent 'HapagFly'. This summer HLX have been flying 18 aircraft to 36 ...

Advantages: Very Economical, No Fancy Bits, Value for Money Disadvantages: Limited Destinations, Only Available from Manchester
Having been a frequent business traveller to Germany, I have done many trips with a number of airlines.
My work regularly took me to the city of Cologne (Koln) in Germany, from which I normally had to fly from Manchester to Frankfurt and then connect to Cologne.
Typical prices via other airlines normally ran to about £350 to £500 per trip depending how short notice it was when the flight was booked.
Purely by chance and out of desperation the normal route I would fly with Lufthansa was fully booked and no other mainstream airlines were available.
Resigning myself to the fact that I may have to miss an important meeting, a little searching on the internet quickly came back with a result for Hapag-Lloyd Express.
Hapag-Lloyd Express (HLX) is part of the European Holiday firm TUI and operates from Cologne around limited ...
