Advantages: Plane on time

Disadvantages: Expensive, no entertainment, NO leg room, dirty

My family and I recently flew to Tenerife from Belfast with My Travel. The plane was on time and we boarded swiftly onto the plane. After taking my seat my brother noticed rubbish in his seat front pocket which included some split yogurt. When I sat down to comfortable at the aisle seat (I am 6 ft 3) I shifted in my seat to get comfortable only to be greeted with a metal bar rubbing against my lower spine in my seat. I was quite willing to let this go and I placed my sweatshirt behind my back to make my journey more comfortable. I had no leg room to start with my knees tight against the seat in front but again I know that planes are not always the most comfortable so I again let this go.

We took off on time and without any problems. About half an hour into the flight we were told that the in flight entertainment was not working due to 'technical difficulties' - fair enough I thought its nobodies fault this. In compensation for no entertainment we were offered £4 playing cards and packets of crisps to keep us entertained and off course we would have to pay for these.

At the same time as the above announcement we were informed we would have a "lovely plate of sausages, peas and mash". Sounds nice and I was really ready for it. So I open up the plastic container to get stuck into my dinner only to be confronted by a horrible looking, burnt, orange gruel described by the cabin crew as pasta bolognaise. I was getting quite annoyed and so I asked why I was not having any sausages. The reply was simply that they packed the wrong meals! So I suffered on for the rest of the flight while the cabin crew pushed past with their trolley banging of my kneecaps each time without apologising. What was on the trolleys? – mini tins of coke for £1 and bags of Malteasers for £3. What a bargain! By the time I got off the flight I was aching with a sore back and cramp in my legs even though I got up and walked about several times on flight.

I could tell you about the return flight but I would nearly be repeating myself. Basically My Travel was a living nightmare and as far as I am concerned should be avoided.

Summary: Unless you are a sardine - AVOID!!!
