ok but the wait was long

Honestly it's an ok airline and I've flown with them for years. The problem this time was the rebooking after a cancelled flight to Jersey, I was on hold for almost two hours and then the agent couldn't see my seat selection. The flight itself was fine once we got going and the crew were kind about it.

Used to be better

Compared with how it used to be years ago, the booking now feels fiddly and the seat map takes ages to load. I've flown with them for over twenty years and the flights are still reliable. The price for the same route is a bit higher than the competition now.

needed a quick change

Needed to move a flight to a day earlier because a mate's wedding got brought forward. Did it online in the app in a couple of minutes and didn't have to ring anyone. Fine for a last minute thing.

Flights to Lisbon booked

Booked flights to Lisbon for me and my mate for the August weekend, took about ten minutes on the site. Seat selection cost extra which was a bit annoying but the flights were on time both ways so can't complain really.

Seat upgrade was worth it

The best bit was being able to pick my seat at the booking stage and get a window on the Heathrow to Edinburgh route without paying a silly fee. I fly this route most months for work so I know the usual options well, and the extra legroom in the front rows made a real difference on a 90 minute hop. Check-in on the app was quick and my boarding pass went straight to my wallet.

better than the other sites

I first flew with them this year and compared it with a couple of other airlines for a trip to Rome. The price was about the same but the baggage rules were much clearer here. The check in was quick and the flight left on time.

great for a quick hop

Would fly again, it's the easiest way I've found to get to Belfast from Gatwick for a day trip. Booked it on my phone in the queue for my lunch, took about five minutes and the app showed the gate change straight away. Crew were friendly and we landed early, which was a nice bonus.

Smooth first booking

Really happy with my first booking, it was simple to set up and the confirmation came straight through. The check in reminder arrived on time and the boarding pass was sorted on the app with no fuss. Would happily use them again for a short city break.

Compared with another airline

Compared with another airline I'd flown with, the seats were a little roomier and the crew were more attentive on the way to Nice. The booking took a while as I had to read through each option carefully. The flight was smooth and arrived on time, which pleased us very much.

booked a city break

Booked a flight and hotel package to Prague for a long weekend, and it was clear and easy to compare the options. Compared with two other sites the price came out lower for the same dates. The flight left on time and the transfer was sorted.

Very pleasant trip to Inverness

I was rather pleased with how the cabin crew looked after my husband, who needs a little help with his walking. They were polite and patient throughout, and the seats were comfortable enough for the hour and a bit we were in the air.

First time with them, fine

The first thing I noticed was that the booking asked me to add a seat before I'd even picked a flight, which was odd but quick to get through. I booked a weekend in Edinburgh for me and my girlfriend and the confirmation email came through in seconds. Check-in on the app was easy and the flight landed early.

cheapest option for the family

I needed four seats to Glasgow for the school holidays and wanted the lowest total I could get. This was the cheapest once I'd added bags, though the seat selection was an extra fee. The flight was on time and the crew were fine. Good value for what we needed.

Booked the Manchester flight

I booked the Manchester to Madrid flight after comparing three other airlines and this one came out slightly pricier. The flight itself was fine and landed on time. Only niggle was the checkout asked me to sign up for an account, which I didn't want.

Needed a flight home

My dad had a fall and I needed to get back to Glasgow the same day. Compared a few options and this was the only one with a seat left that evening at a sensible price. The booking was quick and the flight got me there on time, so I was grateful.

Good flight, dear extras

The verdict is that it was a good flight to Malaga with a pleasant crew and an on time arrival. The extras at the booking stage were a little steep, I thought, though I did appreciate being told the total early on. I'd book again.

Not as easy as the other lot

Compared it with the budget airline we usually fly and this was dearer once the bags were added, but the seat was more comfortable. Booking on my phone was slow and the page kept reloading. Just about got it done in the end.

Seat map finally sorted

The seat map on the app finally loads properly now, which is a relief after the last few years. I fly with them about six times a year for work and I can pick a window with an exit row in under a minute. Boarding groups are clear too and the app tells you when to head to the gate.

flight delayed and no reply

I compared a few airlines for a flight to Faro and this was the most expensive by a fair margin, which I accepted. The problem was the flight got delayed by almost three hours and I had to wait four days for any reply about compensation. The seats were tight and the food was just ordinary.

first time booking, needed it for a wedding

I needed to get to my cousin's wedding in Glasgow and had never booked a flight with them before. The site walked me through picking a fare and adding my seat, and I got the e-ticket by email within a minute. Flight was on time and nothing went wrong.
