Who on earth are Flyjet? The name has cropped up on here a lot the past few days.

They are a small British Charter airline. They have 2 Boeing 757’s and this one 767. I have never flown with them but am due to do so in the summer. I have heard they can be a bit hit and miss punctuality wise due to the small fleet. If one aircraft goes tech, the schedules get mucked up pretty badly by all accounts. Hope they are ok when I use them. Their customer service department has been very helpful to me so far!

For me, price & convenience are of equal importance. I would pay a small premium to fly on Skyteam airlines for the same reasons as others have given (lounge access, miles, status, upgrades etc.). Sometimes though Low Costs win for various reasons. One example was when I lived in Spain for 6 months. The most convenient way to visit my family was Easyjet from Bilbao to Bristol so I used them. A second example was a few weeks ago when I flew from Manchester to Cologne with Hapag Lloyd Express for £16 for 2 people. You can’t argue with prices like that!!!

That is the Reebok stadium and the Middlebrook retail park so the pic actually shows Horwich, which is a suburb of Bolton.

That’s the press release being quoted on airliners. Interesting stuff indeed

There’s a thread on Airliners.net with a press release from US Airways / America West giving all the details of the merger
