Airlines in general Reviews

I wish there was some other way to get around the world as quickly as flying, without the actual need to fly. I can not wait for teleportation to become a reality. Planes are crammed, inaccessible and if you feel ill from the smell of airline food, there is no escape. Airlines also have a tendency to break wheelchairs. Although, all services to do ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so it's time to go on a nice holiday! Have a break from the stress of work and relax until your Boss' voice is but a very distant murmur. We all like to get away once in a while and recharge the batteries, but the act of travelling to the destination is an important factor that shouldn't be overlooked. For the sake of argument the ...  Read the complete review

Things that go bump in the night…or the day. We left off somewhere back at the gate. Let’s see here…Preflight Checklist, Before Starting Engines Checklist, paperwork, I plugged in my headset, coffee with cream – ready to roll. As the engines are started and the aircraft taxies out for takeoff you’ll ...  Read the complete review

I was recently told that Ryan Air were heavily discounting lots of their flights from England to just about anywhere in Europe. I was thinking about going to Ireland so I rushed onto the net and bought two return tickets, the offer ran out at midnight that night. I was very happy, I was ecstatic. I went to the pub and got pissed to celebrate. The ...  Read the complete review

Before I begin, I'd like to make an apology to the following people; 1)Those who read my Big Brother 2 op - it's tired, uninspired and generally rubbish 2)Those who read my Britannia op - just in case I cover the same ground here as I did then Right, to the matter at hand... Aeroplanes can be great places. ...  Read the complete review

I am not surprised by the growth in what is now commonly termed "Air rage". Flying overall has become a real pain as airlines are forever moving the goalposts with schedules to maximise the seats filled on flights. 90 per cent of delays are caused by connections from other flights not being on time, frustrations arise before one ...  Read the complete review

Ever wondered why you have to go to stansted or luton to get a flight to some obscure place? Because dominant airlines control Heathrow and Gatwick and only fly to the profitable routes. Ok it makes sense - why would they not!? Similarly when flying on highly competitive routes into North America - new entrants are priced out of the ...  Read the complete review

I think it is disgusting how people can turn up late for the flight and then blame the airport staff for the inconvenience. I think that the people complaining need to sit down and think is it the airport staffs fault. I was watching the program called airport yesterday and I would of hit most of the people who were complaining about the ...  Read the complete review

Being inside the industry, I feel I am at liberty to pass on my comments that I hear from passengers about which airline to use, depending on where you are flying to. If you are on a tight budget and want to go to Ireland, Your cheapest option is RyanAir. Aer Lingus offer a similar service but not as cheap. Very little to decide between ...  Read the complete review

Richard Branson has certainly out done himself with this unique and friendly airline! When you first arrive at the airport you are normally excited about your flight and so the check is normally a downer. But not on Virgin, you are through the checkin and on the flight before you no it and the service is great from the minute you step aboard. The ...  Read the complete review

Buzz is one of several low-cost airlines and flies from London Stansted to several European destinations. Stansted airport is not actually that difficult to get to from London. I booked my flight to Vienna over the internet, which was very easy. The flight was on time and comfortable although no entertainment was provided onboard and ...  Read the complete review

Whilst travelling recently I had my luggage tampered with and several items stolen. My first gripe with the flight operators handling of this situation is that I was expected to report this there and then at the airport. However, as it was only the padlock and zip on my holdall which had been tampered with it was not immediatley ...  Read the complete review

No we all know that aviation fuel is not petrol or deisel. But what it is, is Kerosene. Kerosene comes form the refineries the same as the petrol does. Because of this, Airlines will be unable to refuel on landing in the uk. This could be bad because the airlines will take their planes to other countries to refuel thus losing the UK suppliers ...  Read the complete review

I used to save airmiles. Every time I went to Sainsburys I cashed in my vouchers and transferred 40 airmiles to my account. I even received them on my credit card and I also had an airmiles savings account with my bank, and I got them for petrol as well. But try to book a flight anywhere and you are told that there are none ...  Read the complete review

My wife and I have saved Airmiles ever since they were launched. On day one , accrual of the valuable Miles proved to be very laborious and slow , being reliant on the 1 mile for every £20 spent on my NatWest Credit Card and the occasional promotion through Sony (for buying their electrical products) and Allied Carpets. ...  Read the complete review

I have been collecting Air Miles for years but I am still amazed at the number of people I meet who are not aware of the savings they can provide. When they were first introduced they gave free British Airways flights however now they can be used on days out in England and on package holidays from selected companies. For a few hundred air ...  Read the complete review

No matter what airline you fly with or where you are going 99% of the time you'll get one of these demonstrations at the beginning of your flight (although I did recently fly malaysia Airlines who didn't do it). You all know what I'm talking about... Should the cabin pressure fall oxygen masks will fall from above your ...  Read the complete review
