It was the worst travel experience of my life and after looking forward to a stress free holiday following work, I came back feeling worse than I'd left!

I'm 6'3" and my knees would be digging into the seat in front even before it was reclined. Exremely uncomfortable. I had to lean into the aisle and stretch my legs out meaning I got hit every time a trolley went passed.

The plane looked very aged, with certain components on the interior which where "hanging loose". This is worrying I must say.

Staff were actually okay, although unhelpful at times.

Food was not good at all but I survived!

Admittedly I payed £150 for the flight but you get what you pay for. It is much worth the extra money to travel with a more reputable airline. Saying that, it was an incredibley cheap price.

Airport experience at Gatwick was good, but Larnaca was disorganised and total chaos. Took 2 hours to check in as there where no defined queues!!

In my opinion, the disadvantages totally outweighed the advantages and I believe animals get better treatment when travelling.

I believe all airlines must abide by a certain set of passenger comfort rules which seems to be bypassed with all the no frills airline. Cost should not be a factor there.

My only extreme concern was the age of the plane and safety, although getting DVT came a very close second!!

They sound pretty grim. Mind you, Thomson are just as bad and they’re double the price you paid! I paid £300 last year for a return flight from Bournemouth to Paphos. Lexy
