VLM Airlines

Description: Continent: Europe / Country: Netherlands

Newest Review: ... this pre-amble of misery and depression? Simply because I've found an airline that actually makes flying almost fun again. But don't get to excited - unless you are able to use Manchester, London City or Frankfurt (or your own private jet) and you want to go to Antwerp or Rotterdam, you're probably out of luck. My favourite of my regular business journeys these days is the route between ... more

VLM Airlines: My favourite little Fokkers (1041 words)

When I first started traveling for business, flying around all over the place was still quite good fun. You got fed, you got free booze, if the airline lost your luggage they paid compensation, you amassed zillions of air-miles to use for free holidays and if you missed a flight the airlines would go to extreme lengths to find clever ways to get you to your destination. But over the years the fun got squished and the stress increased. It can sometimes seem as if the airlines and airports are competing with the terrorists to induce ever more complex and unpleasant barriers to actually trying to enjoy yourself. Ryanair of course is the master of the art of pissing off the ... Read the complete review

I've flown the Manchester-London route a few times now. It often works out cheaper than getting the train. London city airport links directly to Docklands Light Railway (DLR) so you hop off a plane, onto a train then to whatever underground lines you need. The planes are propeller rather than jet which I found scary first time, but once you get used to the noise it's fine. The service is fantastic, breakfast is included in the price for the morning flight, croissant, coffee and yoghurt. Evening meal is also included on your return, sandwich and muffin. Drink of your choice mid-flight. I chose red wine. Can't complain at £25 plus fuel with a free meal ... Read the complete review

I have flown with VLM airlines a couple of times now and each time the service is absolutely fantastic! I have only flown on the London City to Manchester route but it's a flight that I enjoy going on. The staff are very friendly (even late at night when we were the last flight of the day) both onboard and in the terminal. They are also using e tickets now which is really handy because I can just keep the number in my phone and so it's easily accessible when I get to the airport. I didn't have to queue at the airport to check in either, mainly because there weren't many people on the flights. In fact one of the flights I took with VLM ... Read the complete review
