Advantages: Everything plus some good suprises

Disadvantages: none

Flight was Manchester-Paris-Saint Martin near the carribean. Their Online Website Booking process is really easy to navigate. Once you pick your flights you get to choose where you want to sit for the International flight which is a great option.
You also see before booking the flight what aircraft type you are flying on.
I decided to check-in manually as we were over nigting in Paris out of choice so that we effectively get a free trip to paris in terms of costing. So check-in comes at Terminal 2 in manchester and we are greeted by a friendly check-in agent...even though on the phone they said the bag would need to be taken at paris, the checkin said it's ok to check them all the way through to SXM which made it easier for us to get a train into paris.
So the flight was lovely, great cabin crew, we were served with hot drinks and a nice snack.
The next day we prepared for our longer flight to the carribean and checkin was quite busy but really efficient and we made our way to the gate and boarded the larger 4 engine A340.
The Seats had lots of room and the flight was served with breakfast and a meal along with as many drinks as you wish...
1 unique and exciting thing is that aswell as being able to ask for a drink and being offered drinks during the flight, you can also just get up and pour you own drink as they neatly present the trolley laid out for us to use...I really liked this and have never seen this before on any other airline...It means you dont have to feel shy about asking for a drink...not that they would ever make you feel uncomfortable...I had some really good chats in the back and front of aircraft with the crew.
The Pilots also are very effective in tubulence avoidence and climb at the slightest feel...

Summary: Really good airline
