Diamond review   Fly Flybe? Maybe!
Review of Flybe by VickyVickster

Advantages: Cheap,Cheaper still if you get in early.
Disadvantages: Some old planes in the fleet.

The site does all your hard work and will spit out at you all the flights for that day. Pick your favourite time, then click one more button ... Read review

I HATE AIR TRAVEL - GET ME OUT OF HERE: UPDATED
Review of Flybe by sue.51

Advantages: Actually fly at sensible times from regional airports, loads of legroom
Disadvantages: The use of small planes mean you feel every bump and twist; much of FlyBE's fleet are turbo-props

...in the Sunday paper for FlyBE a.k.a British European, well lets give them a try. A little bit of browsing the website and playing with times, eventually found us flights that suited us from Bristol at a price we were more than happy with - £127 economy class return including taxes (I must say this was far more favourable than the parking charges at Bristol Airport which came in at a casual £12/day – which I now know to be cheaper than Gatwick (£6.90 ...

Flymaybe. Do you feel lucky?
Review of Flybe by Englebert_Fliegenende

Advantages: Okay when they can get it together.
Disadvantages: Terribly unreliable, disgraceful customer relations.

Do not be fooled by FlyBe positioning themselves as a budget airline. They aren't cheap if you need to book seats less than a couple of weeks in advance, and the flights likely to be used for business trips are heavily penalised cost-wise. I fly regularly to UK and EU destinations with FlyBe from Southampton. When it's fine, it's fine - which is all you can ask for from a 'budget airline'. However, more than 50% of the 34 flights I've booked ... Read review

No Frills and a Friendly Face
Review of Flybe by iainkay1

Advantages: Low Cost, seats allocated
Disadvantages: smaller aircraft can be bumpy

To be a little different FlyBe as British European are now known (www.flybe.com)they have come up with a simple idea. Low Fares, Seats allocated, pay for inflight drinks and snacks and if you are transferring through any other airport they can usually check the luggage all the way to your final destination. Anyway I flew from Belfast City Airport (2miles from the city centre)to Birmingham for a day trip so they checked us in for the return journey ... Read review

Flybe from soton
Review of Flybe by ploddy100

Advantages: Cheapish, good legroom, quiet airport, soft landings
Disadvantages: Expensive food.

...malaga and we used the flybe services between malaga and southampton both times. On the way out, we arrived for our 08:05 flight at around 06:45, it was around 5 minutes to check in, and we went and had a coffee in the aura coffee shop. From the viewing area, you can see out on the tarmac, and all the flybe planes sitting at their stands. Overall, the experience is an awful lot less stressful, and because the flight is not charter you can arrive ... Read review

Flybe? Definately!
Review of Flybe by flamesnm

Advantages: Cheap & convenient
Disadvantages: Poor food selection

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, ... Read review

Quick review of Flybe (British European)
Review of Flybe by southwesttraveller

Was booked on the first Exeter - Edinburgh flight the other month. Got to the airport to be told it was cancelled (they didn't know why) & we could take the afternoon flight at c18.00hrs! We were given a voucher for under £10 to spend on substandard food at Exeter Airport. Staff were unhelpful as are their customer relations team when you contact them. They are offering no refund but I am persisting & they still cannot tell us why the flight was cancelled. Flights from Bristol with other carriers seem more frequent, more reliable & cheaper.

Prices change every day?
Review of Flybe by brucebolt

Advantages: Cheaper than other airlines
Disadvantages: Only one flight a day to most detinations

I've now used FlyBe for my holidays twice, once to Jersey and once to La Rochelle. Jersey Flight: This was my first flight with FlyBe. The plane arrived about 45 minutes late, because it was delayed leaving Murcia. This wasn't too much of a problem. Got on the plane (a Bae 146 whisper jet) and the captain told us that a trainee pilot would be taking out flight today. The take-off was very uncomfortable: they accelerated too fast on the runway ... Read review

Quick review of Flybe
Review of Flybe by happydays01

It was ever so cheap, even over the christmas-holidays. Booking was easy, online, check-in surprisingly fast, but be prepared: The plane was tiny, hardly any room for feet or handluggage and the seats were hard - they save on equipment. The staff was very friendly, the pilot competent, made it in less time as scheduled, and on the return flight they even let us have our extra suitcase for no cost. We flew Manchester-Duesseldorf and I would do it again, if only they offered Glasgow as well! The food - sandwiches - was average in taste, fresh, but not much choice : ham or cheese.

Review of Flybe by nick20022002

Advantages: cheap, local airports, quick and easy , ontime
Disadvantages: cramped planes, you have to pay for food

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 ... Read review

eat before you fly
Review of Flybe by rachey31

Advantages: Cheap, good flight times
Disadvantages: NO FOOD!

Pleased with the cheap flight from local airport at a good time, I looked forward to having a lunchtime sandwich on board - the plane was less than 1/4 full and the trolley came round, served two people then to our party - they had run out of sandwiches that they annouced and advertised. There was nothing to eat other than crisps and chocolate on a three hour flight, they only had four sandwiches on board as this was their fourth flight of the day ... Read review
