Advantages: Low cost and decent service
Disadvantages: Very Cramped Conditions and do not fly from Ireland

...back from Ibiza on a JMC flight into Gatwick Airport and after reading other opinions in this category l must admit my experiences seem to go some what against the grain of popular opinion!! Im from Belfast and there was a severe lack of cheapie holidays so we decided we'll fly from Gatwick and get a connecting flight over (thank god for low cost airlines!). To be honest l had never heard of JMC before this experience so l was a blank sheet so to ... Read review

Advantages: Food was OK, nice service, took off on time
Disadvantages: The seat space and headphone sockets!

...are now collectively under the JMC umbrella. JMC is now a very large company, and is "unravelling the package holiday piece by piece" according to the adverts. Having been slated on Watchdog and that winking Anne Robinson, I must say I can only write about the airline how good or bad it is, and not the company as a whole… although the health and safety department is the best around… (Was that OK sis?!) I booked my holiday to Corfu (see ... Read review

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...time I have flown with JMC and having read other opinions before going I was surprised at the quality of service I received. I didn't have high expectations, after all JMC airlines are only a package operator not a real commercial airline, but in comparison to other package flights I've had they were excellent. ~~~ Check In ~~~ I was very impressed with the JMC check in service at Gatwick, to be honest I've never seen a better system in operation ...

Advantages: Price, Reasonable Service
Disadvantages: Cramped legroom

...OP on Ciao, which rated JMC pretty good, but I did notice that there were others with only one star rating. I decided not to read these, as it would put me off! My biggest concerns were cramped seats and flight delays. The dates we could go were fairly limited, and for this reason I had to go from Manchester, although Glasgow is actually my closest international airport. Manchester was a reasonable second choice, as we have family we could ... Read review

Advantages: Tasty food and polite service
Disadvantages: LACK OF LEG ROOM

I went on a JMC holiday to Kavos, in Corfu, last summer, as a last minute booking. As a relatively large company, I was pleased that the booking was made with them. Although the holiday itself was very good, not that I can remember much of it (alcohol to blame), the flights left a lot to be desired. The simple fact of the matter is that this airline goes for exonomy in every sense of the word. I will come to that a little later, after the few ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly crew
Disadvantages: Very poor legroom

...(ATH) in Greece on a JMC Boeing 757 aircraft in 1999. The flight was quite long at around 3 hours which emphasised the cramped seating arrangements. The food was very poor, one of my worst experiences of airline food to date. However, I recieved a complimentary english newspaper on the return flight - a rarity on most package airlines which was quite good. The cabin crew were kind and helpful and willingly arranged for me to visit the flight deck ... Read review

Advantages: speeding crossing, ran on time
Disadvantages: shabby plane, too cramped

...have only flown once with JMC and to be quite honest I really wouldn't want to go with them again. My girlfriend and myself flew to the Dominican Republic last year for christmas. It was the 1st long haul flight I had been on in around 10 years. We got away on time so I was quite pleased about that and yet again, as what always happens when I fly, we end up over the wing....so no view for us. Anyway we got settled in our cramped little seats ... Read review

Advantages: You don't have to fly with them
Disadvantages: Plane, space, food, pilot etc.......

I flew to Turkey with JMC in 2002 and it was nothing above dire! The flight was four hours of cramped up seating, plastic staff and the landing to end all landings. I even wondered if we would arrive at all. JMC seemed like a good choice, no-one had ever given any bad opinions of them, their marketing is quirky and all their on board document are bright and eye chathcing, their unifrom is very modern and they are cheap. This facade is for a ... Read review

Advantages: I went on holiday!
Disadvantages: Everything possible on the flight!

When I flew with JMC I found that the service I received on the flight was well below average, but bearable as it was only a short flight. However, I expected no better on my return flight, but wasn’t pleased when it became worse. I found the flight attendants were not very helpful, and when I buzzed for assistance, it was 2-3 minutes before anyone came. My problem of broken headphones was not sorted out very politely and I was made to feel quite ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Cramped, late and slow

JMC may be unwrapping the holiday package, but they ain't doing anything for the flight to get you there. We flew recently with JMC. They kept us at the gate for over an hour. When we finally boarded the plane, they told us we had boarded to slowly and that as a consequence we had missed our air traffic slot. The guy said we had had eleven minutes and had taken longer than that. Well, may be he thought we were on one of those challenge Anneka things. ... Read review

Advantages: Efficient Admin Staff and Booking service
Disadvantages: none so far

...9th 2001 Having just flown with JMC with all of the worry (see the notes below) I was pleasantly surprised. The email that I sent back in April time had made a difference. I emailed JMC to say that my husband is 6'2" tall and needed the extra leg room (having heard that their seats were very close I showed concern). We got to the check in desk and the lady said that our seats had been prebooked. To save a scene I didn't query her comments and carried ... Read review

Advantages: We landed safely, Price of flights.
Disadvantages: Not the best airline, bad food, cramped conditions.

...would make me fly with JMC again. Fortunately, We were only flying to Malaga and not long distance. If wing seats (outside) were provided I would have been tempted to have a go. Why, you might ask? No air conditioning. Along with another 250 souls, I gasped for air for the whole 2 hours. A very uncomfortable experience, let me tell you. I cannot comment on the in-flight entertainment, as the vcr was broken, but that was ok, as I was kept entertained ... Read review
