Advantages: Great prices and nice staff

Disadvantages: Don't expect star treatment

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. Although this does mean that they are nosier, in the case of the planes I flew on it meant that there were only two sets on either side of the plane. In my case I would imagine in most cases this meant that I did not have to worry about speaking to someone I did not know sitting next to me, which all though this can be nice is not something that I would chose.

The second good thing is the price which is fantastic. I paid just over £30 return to Bristol from Newcastle including tax which is fantastic. Their prices aren't always as good but they do tend to be pretty decent. I would highly recommend flying with this company.

Summary: A great budget airline that I will always consider when booking flights
