Thomson

Advantages: Seemed to have extra leg room
Disadvantages: Could moan about food costs but that is a bit unreasonable

I have never been one to go on package holidays, my parents never went on them and so I have grown up always looking to arrange my own travel and accommodation, in total I have only ever been on four package holidays in my entire life hence I have very little experience of using charter flights. Friends had recommended Thomsonfly as a good option for cheap flight only deals supported by the fact that they also fly from a local airport to me so when ...
...myself at Easter I checked them out and I must say I was very satisfied with the whole experience. Booking I booked the flights directly through the website and I was very easy to do. The website is clearly set out and from it you can book either just your flights or a complete holiday package with all the options included of mixing and matching your requirements such as car hire and hotels as well as insurance. The company fly from 20 UK airports ... Read review

Advantages: Got away from the mother-in-law!
Disadvantages: Rude staff, very cramped seating.

I flew with Thomson last year when I took my family to Tenerife on a package holiday, which I booked through the company's high street travel shop. The holiday was great, but here I am reviewing the actual flights, which were part of the package. We flew from Gatwick to Tenerife, in the Spanish ruled Canary Islands. The predicted flight time was four and a half hours. THE OUTBOUND JOURNEY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were due to fly around seven ...
...it wasn't that serious, the Thomson staff explained, after about twenty minutes. The warning light that is supposed to illuminate in the event of undercarriage failure had failed, and a switch needed replacing. A new part was being flown down from Stanstead, and could we please go back to the duty free area, and wait for the flight to be called again. No offer of food or drink, just sit and wait for three hours. We were served a meal mid- flight, ... Read review

Advantages: nice plane, good food, friendly staff
Disadvantages: cramped seats and legroom, but then it is a plane!

...from Alicante to Manchester with Thomson Fly. This was my first time with them since they have changed from britannia, and I have to say I was impressed. We never buy package holidays, and flew out to Spain with monarch, so this was only a one way flight. I have to say that all in all I was quite impressed... THE PLANE... Our plane was a boeing 767-300, which I had been on once before when I flew from palma to manchester with britannia, so I knew ...
...say if you are disabled thomson is a disabled friendly airline. All in all a very good airline, and i would reccomend them to people. I enjoyed flying with them although I do still prefer monarch (scheduled-ZB) above all others. Thank you for reading and I hope you have found this review helpful. If you require any more information please leave me a comment and I will update the review. ... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Unacceptable delays, terrible customer service

...listed as cancelled, so rang Thomson who said that was a mistake, and my parents should turn up at the usual time for check in. The flight was due to land in Doncaster at 7pm. They were told at the airport there would be a slight delay, then told after around 3 hours that the flight was cancelled but they could get a later flight which would make an additional stop at Coventry. On arrival at Coventry they were told that there was no plane to Doncaster, ...
...arrived at Doncaster at 5am. This is a short version of what was a very long, tiring and stressful journey for my two elderly parents. When they got back they complained to Thomson, to be told they could have no compensation (not even for a taxi home even though there was no public transport available). The excuse for this was that they had accepted the changes to the flight. My parents had no idea they had any alternative, if someone had told them ... Read review

Advantages: BASIC CHEAP AIRLINE
Disadvantages: PAYING TO SIT NEXT TO EACH OTHER

This is just your basic airline with good prices. Iv used this airline a lot for flying around Europe. I think this is the cheapest airline around and just convenient for me. There great for cheap last minute holidays which is what I normally do. Great flight days and hours normally arrive early and leave late which I think is really good as I hate turning up to a place at midnight I want to go explore not go to bed. You can book a meal in advance ...
...of £24 or you can pick from there hot or cold food menu when your onboard which range from pastas to sandwich's. Not a lot of choice for alcohol and was expensive but the champayne was nice and I think it was worth the money they even put it on chill for us. Get your own little catalogue I guess you could call it and you can pick duty free's from such as fags, perfumes, jewellery and airplane toys for the kids. They normally stick the latest film ...
