Airlines - Comments & Tips Reviews

From the moment you check in, to boarding the flight, to arrival, its nice to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Flying is nothing fun or interesting, it's just a way to get from point A to point B. I have flown to many places around the world and have experienced the best and the worst. The first point people must realize, airlines ...  Read the complete review

Continental Airlines from Scotland gives me a speedy way of crossing the Atlantic. However the following have to be noted :- I do not mind the fact that : 1. There are no personal videos. 2. The cabin staff do not supply water during flight. 3 Lunch was served at 10am UK time ( 5am USA time) having ...  Read the complete review

I have never found an airline carrier I am entirely happy with as a wheelchair user and trust to carry my wheelchair. Also, as my legs do not bend very much this can sometimes be a problem when flying. Things I have learnt from my experience: ALWAYS pre-book any additional assistance you need, making it clear what assistance you need at what ...  Read the complete review

Singapore Airlines is the best airline I have personally encountered. Their service is still way beyond any other airline, in my opinion. I have travelled with SIA a 5 times in the last few months, just me and a little baby. I expected a bit of help from the staff, but I didnt' expect them to really go all the way to help me out. ...  Read the complete review

As far as price is concerned, airline passengers in Europe have never had it so good. Every few months seems to bring a new no-frills operator offering flights to the continent for less than it would cost you to take the train between two English counties. Since Ryanair re-launched itself in 1991, copying a business model started by Southwest in ...  Read the complete review

I’ve taken a fair number of flights. It’s a round number, too: 50. An average of 6 per year, and rising – last year I stepped on and off 10 planes.

From behind the cockpit door…Part One As a Captain for the world’s largest airline I’d like to thank those who have made previous ops regarding air safety. Anything that puts the good people behind me a little more at ease is of benefit to us all. I’m going to touch on a few points (the ones I hear about the ...  Read the complete review

Cool op by zOOm on this - but there are one or two more things you can do to make your flight easier. Ask your travel agent if you can do seat reservation when you book your ticket. Certainly get to the airport early, ( I always do) but also - no matter HOW appalling your trip to the airport/paking hassles/headache/travel agent ...  Read the complete review

Having flown quite a lot in the past I kind of find myself thinking, I can write something about that, I must have some knowledge to pass on to others. As you might have read in an earlier op, I am not the biggest fan of flying (well taking off and landing to be more precise) but I look upon flying only as a means of getting somewhere ...  Read the complete review

Flying is amazing and shouldn't be affected by recent events - Advantages: Visit Far places, Covenient, Usually Quicker - Disadvantages: Expensive, Delys possible

There must be many folk out there who were frightened of flying, even more so now in the light of September 11th, however having just returned from another trip to the USA I have to say to you that transatlantic flying is even safer, with increased security, and tighter controls at both the departure and arrival airport, and on top of all this to ...  Read the complete review

Go on, take your pick. You can have one of the above, maybe two, but not all three. Have a think about it. When given the chance, most people offer one of these three criteria as paramount.

Here's a little tip for anyone flying with British Airways who needs to order a vegetarian meal. Seeing as us veggies are in the minority, I don't mind the fact that we are expected to order a meal in advance so they only have to carry the number of meals neccissary on a flight. However, on a trip to America this summer, after ...  Read the complete review

To set the scene, I'm male, just under six feet tall and about 16 stones. I've flown about 20 times, all as a package holiday customer. I've used Britannia, LTE (Spanish), Air Malta, Flying Colours, Monarch and some others I can't remember. All charter airline seats (mostly Boeing, I think) seem to be about the same ...  Read the complete review

I have been travelling on aeroplanes since I was 6 months old and I think I have more "flight time" than some of the flight attendants! OK, enough vanity, here's some general information about flights, most of you will already know about these but hopefully you’ll still find it useful... A little warning that this is a long ...  Read the complete review

I have not had the greatest experience of plane flying, however I have flown 16 times, and this I feel gives me the right to complain. And complain I will! Have you ever had a flight on time? I have not! I do not know if it is just my luck, or if it is usual, but planes just do not seem to land when I am in the port. ...  Read the complete review

The air in a plane's cabin is dryer than the air in the Sahara desert, so if you've noticed your nose and throat gets sore when you fly long distance, that's why! And because you're breathing in recyled air for so long, you're much more likely to get a cold or flu when you arrive at your destination - other ...  Read the complete review

I think I read that JAPANESE airlines have taken this condition very seriously and have come up with the following conclusions. Do not drink alchohol, it reduces blood pressure, causing more likely clots. Drink lots of fluids, e.g. water as this actually keeps your blood pressure stable, prevent risks of clotting.
