    Glad to see Continental are still serving a meal on their domestic flights, unlike a lot of other US airlines. I like CO, a quality carrier!

    I hate to be controversial but I rather suspect that a lot of the passengers travelling from Warsawa and Katowice may not be planning to use their return ticket coupon!

    How on earth can Whizz fill planes like 737/320s on a regular basis on a route such as LPL-Katowice? LHR-Katowice would be difficult enough. Who is this Whizz? Are they no seat no/no drink/no hot meal/15KG baggage airlines? Do hope not!

    I would rather have a good airline. Ryanair is a good business but its not what Id call a good airline!

    They are a good airline, with the prettiest cabin crew! I flew to Venice a few years ago on a DC9!

    Kaatowice! From LPL hope they are using a Shorts 360 coz they will struggle to fill anything else!

    Do I get any snap on WizzAir? If so I may go Budapest with them, if not I go Malev!

    I have tried to ring BMIBaby as I have failed to find any fares which match what was advertised, funny thing but the phone line was constantly engadged. |I hung on for 20 mins before abandoning the call. I am so angry I am putting pen to paper and also writing to the Advertising Standards Authority.

    No other industry gets away with it. If I go to Tesco and a tin of beans is 30p, I dont expect to get to the till and find it is 39p.

    Tour operators also do this dont they? Holidays advertised at £199, then you find their is a booking fee and a compulsory ticket on departure charge. Its misleading!!

    BMIbaby are the pitts. If I cant get through to make a reservation within 20 mins, how would I carry on if I had a complaint or one of my suitcases missing! No customer care at all!!!!

    LBA needs Jet2, especially since lots of charter airlines are scalling back their operations at the Yorks airport.

    BA is suffering a PR nightmare at the moment. That Eddington bloke has lost the plot, staff shortages, aircraft shortages, cancellations, delays etc etc. What with his hatred of Concorde it seems the Aussie is intent on recking our flag carrier.

    Cancellations due to commercial reasons is something one used to expect from charter carriers not scheduled airlines who are supposed to run to published timetables regardless of the load factor!

    Take it you havent flown Virgin Express then. Those buggered old 737-300s, high fares and no in-flight service unless it is pre-booked and pre-paid.

    Virgin Sun was a good holiday airline, however.

    Take a good book then. Teguise is quite quiet, not for nightowls. There is a few bars but thats it. I prefer Puerto Del Carmen. You could always grab a taxi for a night out. Teguiise is more picturesque, however. Enjoy your holiday babi.

    I dont care for TCX much myself, I have done both short and long haul with them and find them no better than any other charter carrier. Just coz they got the prestigious Thomas Cook name means nowt, they think they are the ‘snobs charter airline’ but they are just the same as MYT, BY et al.

    If I were Quantas or another domestic airline, I would be pretty annoyed at Bransons Oz venture. Mr Branson is one greedy man, who moans and groans coz he cant get the slots he wants etc etc.

    I suppose he has shut up of late, now that VS have got hundreeds of prime slots at LHR!

    Its a big bloody con! I have no doubt that a tiny proportion of these free fares exist but the majority are taking up by employees their friends and family.

    They are hardly free, either when over £30 in taxes are added to each flight. Why £7 onj expensive fares but £16 on the free ones????. Also there web site is down most of the booking period with overload problems.

    The ASA should make all airlines show the full price, inclusive of taxes. After all you dont have a choice whether to pay or not do you!
