Flybe

I have used flybe on a number of occasions to fly between Avignon and Southampton and Paris and Birmingham, and so far I have to say I have yet to experience any problems with my flight. I use Flybe when Ryanair's flights have not been on the day I wanted and although Ryanair's pricing has been creeping up Flybe are a little more expensive and if you book in advance you won't get as cheaper flight as if you book with Ryanair in advance. The main advantage that I find with Flybe is that you get up to 20kgs luggage allowance instead of the usual 15kg with Ryanair. This is great for me because I travel with a backpack so to get over 20kg in it would be a real ...  Read the complete review

I flew with Flybe from Exeter to Amsterdam in February 2008. I flew with my brother, for a short break back to The Netherlands. The flight itself was delayed by about an hour and a half. Although this was annoying, because we had an onward train to catch, the airline staff did a very good job at keeping us informed. They told us where to go and when etc... The flight eventually took off, and we arrived in Amsterdam a couple of hours later, just in time to catch the last train to where we needed to go. The flight was lovely and smooth, in a small twin propeller aircraft, and the staff were really professional, and attended to everyones ...  Read the complete review

We recently used Flybe for a trip to Northern Ireland, flew return from Manchester for around £35 (this was booked a fair few months in advance hence the cheap price!). The booking process was smooth, however about a month later we had an email to say our flight home was cancelled and we had to take another one, which was a bit inconvenient but we did have months notice. The checking in process is easy, you just type your confirmation into the machines at the airport, so no need to worry about printing off barcodes or anything, everything prints for you in the airport. You can even change seats to sit with your mates or grab a window seat, which we wern't ...  Read the complete review

I have flown on flybe a few times recently, because I have been going round cities looking at universities- I most recently flew down to Gatwick from Newcastle. My experience with flybe has been extremely positive I must say. The planes that I took were never late, even the late on ones which are notoriously late (due to 15 minute shuffles run by budget airlines). From handing tickets in to be checked at the gate to getting off the plane, all of the staff were very nice and made flying all the more pleasurable. There are two things I found particularly good about flying with flybe. Firstly the planes I flew on were small propeller panes. ...  Read the complete review

I flew with Flybe.com on Xmas Eve 2007 and was massively disappointed with the airline and the service received. When I arrived at Glasgow airport I looked at the departures board and noticed that my flights to Birmingham were showing but that they were flicking between destinations under the same flight number and showing as Norwich then Birmingham so I walked upto the desk (it was not advising to check in so went to the information desk of the airline) only to be told to wait for further information which I found quite poor as it was obvious something was happening due to the information showing so I went to the check in desk to ask and was advised that due to the ...  Read the complete review
