Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, poor service, no entertainment

I decided to fly Aeroflot because it was much cheaper than the other airlines. London to Bangkok return for approximately £350 was a good bargain. The service, food and the plane on the London to Moscow route was as good as any other airline. The plane on the Moscow to Bangkok flight however was a Ilyushin. The thing about this type of plane is that there is only one huge passenger compartment in economy and no partition like in the Western planes, ...
...food can be called good or food. Twelve hours on that plane seems much longer and once I landed in Bangkok and finally breathed smelly sock-free air, I didn't look forward to the next trip back but at least I knew that by travelling Aeroflot I had saved some money. ... Read review

Advantages: Okay when they can get it together.
Disadvantages: Terribly unreliable, disgraceful customer relations.

Do not be fooled by FlyBe positioning themselves as a budget airline. They aren't cheap if you need to book seats less than a couple of weeks in advance, and the flights likely to be used for business trips are heavily penalised cost-wise. I fly regularly to UK and EU destinations with FlyBe from Southampton. When it's fine, it's fine - which is all you can ask for from a 'budget airline'. However, more than 50% of the 34 flights I've booked this ...
...or, worst of all, diverted to Birmingham or Exeter because we've taken off so far behind schedule than Southampton Airport will be closed by the time we touch down. Obviously, this usually happens on the return leg, which means I get to spend hours in a half closed airport with not a clue as to when I may get home. Any kind of disruption in the morning, at any airport, ripples though their schedules to the point of utter chaos by mid-afternoon. ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly, Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...always heard the hype of Virgin Atlantic. Lets face it, they are hard to miss when they are owned by Sir Richard Branson! I was off on holidays to Sydney and decided to treat myself to Upper Class. The day came and I had already arranged the Limo service through Virgin Atlantic. The Limo service I understand is only available on some Upper Class Tickets (i,.e the non discounted ones). The Limo arrived on time, just in time to hit the rush hour traffic ...
...London Heathrow Terminal three. Well Virgin Atlantics private part of T3. VAA have an area called drive through check in. As the Limo pulls up a lovely ground staff member brings out all your details to the window and checks you in from the car! I couldnt believe it. The other half sat there with jaw open. From there we were escorted through to the Upper Class private security channel and within 9minutes we were in the London Heathrow Clubhouse! ... Read review

Advantages: low cost, easy to book, online booking, great destination
Disadvantages: awful decor

...and yellow interior, flying with Ryanair can be an unexpected joy. Like many low-cost airlines Ryanair have cut out the frills to give its travellers a range of destinations at prices which won't break the bank. This Springtime my daughter and I took advantage of £10 flights and headed to Italy from Liverpool. The adverts did say that it was Milan we were heading to but in truth we were almost one hour away from Milano and landed at Orio airport, ...
...all the low cost airlines, Ryanair operates on a speedy turnaround so you are expected to look lively when you board and disembark, though obviously those who struggle are given the greatest amount of attention and aided on and off board. You will also be expected to clean up after yourself, which in fairness is something we should all be doing as a matter of course. I would recommend Ryanair to anyone. I just wish they would bring back the Liverpool ... Read review

What a great Airline this is! I have traveled with Jet 2.com many times and always had a great experiance with them. There website is easy to use and prices are clear and easy to understand. There staff treat you with respect and are always helpful. On a couple of flights I had my disabled father with me and it was no trouble for the cabin crew to sort out his transport from the plane to the airport building. On all occasions I have flown from ...
...that they cannot be beaten and they offer a level of service which is second to non. I cheaked in via the website which made things very easy bacuse all Ihad to do on arrival is hand my bags to the Jet 2.com staff. I recommend that you use this option. For a great service and a great price and great people I'd always use Jet2.com! ... Read review
