As Saab 2000 told you about his holiday airline, I will as well!
Getting the tickets by post i nealry cried when the Carrier was JMC Airlines, all i ever hear is how god awful they are. I packed, travelled from Newcastle to Manchester for the 103K flight and checked-in.
We eventually boarded the plane, to find there was an ATC delay.. thanks to Manchesters ATC. It was only half an hour but that half an hour is along time in a hot, cramped 757.
The on-board service was absolutely fantastic, cabin crew were extremely cheerful and the Purser cracked more than a few jokes on the PA system which was kewl. the Peppered Chicked meal was nice and I purchased the Boeing 757 model plane!! -yippee 🙂
The outbound aircraft was G-JMCE.
Coming back was also fine, the meal on JMC103L was a tad skimpier but the service was as good as it was going. There was a 2 hour delay coming home but there was lots of activity at Corfu Airport to keep me busy… both of Excels 767’s were there at once!
On the way home, i bought the Airbus A330-200 model plane! The stewardess even opened it for a nose…she didn’t know JMC were getting the A330 in the fleet.
Inbound aircraft was ex Flying Colours G-FCLH.
Overall, apart from a bit more legroom the flight was fine..
I’ll give it 10/10..
