Advantages: Great Friendly Service
Disadvantages: Not the great airline empire it used to be

Although Ansett flies still as Kendell etc. Ansett has become a microscopic airline compared to the airline it used to be. Ansett became bankrupt 2 days after Sept. 11th. Although the Airline itself has deteriorated, it's committed service towards it's customers has not. The Decision I flew with Qantas from London to Sydney. After arriving, my next flight on Virgin Blue to Adelaide was unfortunately cancelled. Because my friend was waiting in Adelaide, ...
...as me, try visiting the Ansett Museum in Hamilton, Victoria in Australia. The history of the airline can be found at this museum. It is very interesting. Experience with Them Prior to break-up I've flown with Ansett prior to break-up. It was a flight from Osaka-Kansai to Sydney. The desk was smooth. The desk people were kind and got my baggage through quickly. Although I was 2kg overweight, they let me go. The first thing I find important in an ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: What you pay is not what you get

Did not live up to all the good reviews. I travelled from Edinburgh to Hamilton May 2008. We arrived at the airport and was quickly boarded on the plane. We had booked premier seats together, when we sat down we realised that the plane and crew were all from Iceland, the crew could only understand half of what the Scottish passengers were saying. The seats was dirty and the crew spent all their time with the small amount of business passengers. One ...
...The seat in front of us went straight back due to being broken. When we landed at Hamilton airport in Canada we were greeted by what looked like a industrial estate. On the return flight the flight was delayed but due to the small airport the passengers had to seat outside and there was limited shops and cafes, none of this information is included in the airport information on the sight. ...

...choice was between Easyjet and Olympic Airlines/Airways (OA). OA won the day. THE COMPANY: OA is Greece's national airline, and was founded in 1957. The company has expanded over the years, amalgamating with other Aviation-related companies. I have found it hard to figure out whether the company is officially Olympic Airlines, or Olympic Airways. In any case, I'm just going to refer to them as OA. Originally based at Athens' old airport, Hellinikon, ...
...time. As Olympic Airways is a full-service airline, you are offered drinks and a full meal onboard. Once we'd taken off, it was a drinks trolley with a small-ish but adeqeute range of juices, soft drinks and alcohol, although they were not accompanied by any nuts or pretzels. The meals on both legs were good; coleslaw and then a main dish of pasta-one way it was spaghetti bolognaise, and on the other it was a pasta bake. They didn't offer you a choice, ... Read review

Advantages: Very Cheap
Disadvantages: Overpriced onboard food and drink

...how my first experience of easyJet spanned out.... ************Booking************ The actual booking of the flight was remarkably straight forward and I was able to do this all online for free. My most local airport was London Gatwick, so I simply chose that on the list of airports on the easyJet website, selected Faro and selected my departure and arrival date. This brought me to a number of selections of times and prices, flights being cheaper ...
...was displayed in its familiar easyJet orange coloured logo. The plane was quite small and inside had 2 sets of 3 rows going down either side of the plane. I had the option of sitting anyway onboard, however it didnt seem that some seats had more reasonable leg room than others. The leg room was adequate for such a short flight and seemed the same that I had come across in economy classes in such airlines as British Airways and Emirates. The crew ... Read review

...business & decided to use FlyBe for the first time. This is a company who has been extending their network of routes in recent years & I never hear anything bad about them.

...After that, things did improve, FlyBe aren't so demanding as EasyJet & Ryan Air, no constant reminders that you need to arrive on time & when you arrive two minutes before check in time they won't check you in!! No writing all personal & hotel details on a luggage tag for Ryan Air & informing you that they won't search for a lost bag without those details being recorded. No, FlyBe provide clear & precise instructions without sounding patronising. ... Read review
