Advantages: Cheap, Friendly staff, Punctuality

Disadvantages: Aircraft needs updating, TV Screens did not work

I have only flown once with Air 2000 on a 4 hour flight to Gran Canaria from Birmingham. On this route they use the B757-200 which is a moderately sized aircraft. The first thing we noticed when we got on board was that there was very little legroom (i'm 6 foot 2) and all though I appreeciate that I may be above average height my relatives who where several inches shorter had the same problem. The entertainment was good with the ususl tv and radio channels. However, to enjoy these you needed a pair of headphones that they sold at a reasonable price. The meal was very nice (airline food is certainly improving) both in terms of quality and quantity. The crew were always friendly and helpful. The flight took off and arrived on time so all in all it was a good flight.

On the way back the experience was similar however, we had clearly got the short straw having an old crate of an aircraft. Even the stewardess said she had not seen the colour of the seats before. One of the main problems was that the entertainment system at certain seats were not working and it is not fair to pay for headphones and not be able to use them.
However, again the flight was on time.

I would recommend this airline to anyone and would certainly not hesitate to use them again.

I used Air 2000 this year for a flight from Bristol to Madeira. Because I am 6ft 2in tall, I paid an extra £60 for my partner and me to have extra leg room seats. We also asked in advance for vegetarian meals.

Despite having a letter confirming these arrangements, all the staff we spoke to at both airports seemed unable to make these arrangements because "It is not on the computer". It was left for us to argue for the seats once we had boarded the planes. In future we will be travel by scheduled flights.

I have to agree with mgoldman I flew with Air 2000 to Paphus from Birmingham and found it cramped and sausage and mash that was only fit for the bin. Sorry for the low rating but need more information.

I find their legroom poor.
I would always avoid this airline: worst departure gates (furthest from checkin) very poor meals (e.g. sausage and mash), entertainment banale and charge for headset and drinks.
Quite frankly they could not care less about passengers except to take money from them, and minimise their demands.
You were clearly the lucky one with a prompt departure and arrival.
