Yes, What's the Story? They are good I heard. You have to roll with it and although not Supersonic the actual airplanes are good (the won't Live Forever for sure but are fine) as long s they don't hit any wonderwalls you won't end up a champagne supernova in the sky.

But apparently you can't buy Cigarettes and Alcohol on board. Unfortunatly you'll be Half The World Away before you realise this. D'you Know What I mean?

My mum went on them and said they were OK - especially for an small airline thats standing on the shoulder of giants

They're pretty good but if a plane packs up you WILL be delayed, they have no slack in the system at the moment - friends of ours ended up coming back ad ay late just last weekend.

Paul - you super rich b**tard !

Ezza - pay attention.

Daniel(s) + Twiglet - very clever. Rolling Eyes

GDG - thanks for the sensible advice....which I'm about to ignore since I can probably afford to waste a day if the worst comes to worst.

Conversation with the wife.

Wife:" I dont want to spend too much in UK cos the exchange rate is really bad"

Me" I know..... but we'll be at our parents most of the time...... will go up to London to watch Spurs v's Fulham and Reading though."

Wife" Wahhhhhh. Last time we went to spurs we spent over $1k on ticket, journey, beer and dinner " .

Me. " Mmmmm. That's true. Should I just get a ticket for myself then ? "

Wife. " ...................no la. I want to go too ".

I used them this summer, they were okayish. Not huge selection of movies on the way out and the inflight was broken on the way back, so I watched Aladdin and the map for the whole flight. Food was so-so, brekky was shite. By your own booze ,and it is expensive. Worst thing was that they land at Gatwick, which is frickin miles away from the M4 and home.

Normally better to do the deals on the net, Jez. We were in the middle of booking discount flights to Ho Chi Minh a few days ago and the offer disappeared. As we cursed and went back to the homepage, the icon for cheap flights popped up again and when we clicked on it we got two adult and three kids flights for $2500 cheaper than the offer we lost! Life's not all bad.
