RE: Do you think travllers really care who they travel with ?

I think that we do care but it depends where we are going to. The holiday maker traveling to Europe(who can’t be bothered to sort it all out independently) dosne’t care who they fly they don’t want to fly BA or BM and pay an arm and a leg they will fly the with tour operator who will give them the best deal on flight and hotel put together. The Companies up and the UK who send there staff to meetings in europe don’t care and nor do there staff. Whats the point in paying £300 or so to fly business class to Lisbon and be up for 2hours and fly from Heathrow which is pain to get into and out of, when you can fly say GO to Lisbon from Stansted pay £80 be up for the same time and get to Lisbon just as refreshed. For short flights people don’t care who they fly as long as they get them there.

Long Haul is a different story. The inexperinced holiday maker will fly say Air 2000 because its cheap. But in long haul cheap isn’t always the best thing to do. Say you fly to Orlando. Do you fly 9 hours from Gatwick to arrive at Orlando Sanford which is 45-60mins at least from your hotel and have cramp all the way across the atlantic because you don’t have enough legroom. Or do you fly from Gatwick into Orlando International with Vrigin for that little bit more have your own tv and entertainment system, get a choice of meal, better service nad most importnatly more Legroom.
Having flown both charter and schd. services all round the world I think that for flights to Europe you might as well fly your Easyjets and Go’s and save your money but for a flight to the USA say I think the best option is to pay £80-£100 more and fly a schd carriers such as Vrigin.
