Advantages: More Legroom, Leather Seats, No delays

Disadvantages: none

As a very nervous flyer i was very apprehensive about flying with an airline that i had never heard of and after reading more bad reviews than good prepared to expect the worst.

We flew Gatwick to Malaga on 25th Jan 03 and I was pleasantly suprised when we were offered a free Daily Mail on boarding, then there were the leather seats which were so comfy also talk about legroom! we had masses, i am not short (5feet 7inches) and my fiance is over 6feet so we were surprised that we werent knees to chest.

The food on the outbound journey was not very good but the meal on the inbound was lovely, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Bread Roll & a chocolate cake.

I would reccoment flying with Excel, also if you tell them that you are a nervous flyer they really look after you.

no delays even though the weather had been really bad in England and Heathrow & Stanstead were closed on our inbound flight, in fact our plane was 1/2 hour ahead of schedule. The outbound journey was 1/2 hour faster than predicted.

The staff on board are really friendly and helpful and the pursers on the outbound and the inbound flights were lovely, cracking jokes and making everyone feel relaxed.

I suggest you pre-book your seats like we did, you are more than likely to be at the front of the plane where there seems to be more leg room.

I would say that Excel are the best Charter Airline i have flown with, i will definitley use them again.
