Advantages: Good fares, easy booking online Disadvantages: I had a cancellation & long delay on one trip
I decided to try out this airline for a trip from Cardiff to Edinburgh, after a friend suggested we have a long weekend there. Online booking was very easy, you input your chosen days of travel and it returns a list of flights and prices for those days plus a day earlier & day later so you can compare them.
I made my selections (£5.99 outbound £7.99 return) and continued to the next page where taxes are added. This bumped the price up considerably ... ...if we were to drive up.
Finally a £2 charge per passenger was added for booking with a credit card.
You are then given a reference number and are advised to print the page to take with you to the airport. You are also sent an e mail with the same information if you should wish to print this instead.
Very good I thought, easiest booking I have ever done including the option to reserve a seat online.
The day of departure arrived and we got to Cardiff ...

Advantages: Got to and from in one piece Disadvantages: Lack of communication
...decide against ever flying with bmibaby again. I also know a couple of other people who have travelled with bmi and have also been disappointed. One group of people I know got on their plane to then be told they would have to sit on it for an hour before they could take off. No refreshments were offered and they would have preferred an extra hour sat in the airport wandering around than cramped up on a plane.
I shall end the negativity there - don't ... ...too much! The booking process was easy and the website was easy to navigate. You can sometimes get really cheap flights - other times not any cheaper than any other. They fly between a limited number of destinations and do no long haul flights. It is mainly city break destinations. An example in Leebd/Bradfor to Cork return fare in January in £135. There are also other things available on the website, for example car hire, travel insuranc, hotels ...

Advantages: Cheap, good Price/quality ratio Disadvantages: Don't seem to give a damn if it goes wrong.
The 26th of December 2007, this boy goes of to fly to a girl he has never seen before, scared of flying, scared of missing his flight, scared of getting lost. Then I am at Schiphol, which is just as big as the airport of London. So here I am, and what happens? a defect engine, so I got 2 hours delay, and I could wait in the lounge, and got a coupon of 6 euros, which got me a candybar and some cola, because airports are pissing expensive. However, ... ...yes, more delay, because I was not scared enough yet.
Supposed to fly at 3.40, the plane got moving ( with me in it, finally ) at 7.43, which means 4 hours of delay, which really pissed me off, luckily I got my awesome Samsung MP3 Player to keep my mood somewhat okay.
So I was mad, but all was forgotten when I landed, because there was the girl to pick me up, and that is all that matters.
Saying goodbye hurted extremly bad, so when they did nothing ...

I decided in January I would visit some friends in Scotland. As I did last year. I went with bmi baby I found this site great.
You tell it where you want to leave from and where you want to go. You put in the day you want to leave and the day you want to return. It works it all out for you. You can book online with most credit cards. And you can also book extras on the site like hotels car hire insurance and parking in the air port. Once you have ... ...the time your check in closes before departure, what you need to bring as ID. Also gives you your confirmation and this year I was even able to pick the seats we are going to sit on. Planes are not as big as if you were travelling abroad but all the same still comfortable. I don’t know the prices of food and drink as I didn’t bother, did not see the point as it’s only an hour flight.
Although the flights are very cheap I you can fly for as little ...
