XL Airways – by D Thwaites

27 April 2007 Customer Trip Rating :

The worst airline I have ever travelled. Terrible leg room, over priced and poorly prepared food, and badly organised cabin crew to mention but a few. We flew from Gatwick to Sharm el Sheik on the 18/4/7 and returned 25/4/7. The outbound flight was delayed by 3 hours whilst we sat on the plane because the aircraft failed to start! This doesn’t fill the passenger with confidence, and judging from what I’ve read about this airline, the fleet appears to be old poorly maintained planes nearing the end of their natural life, with a track record littered with technical faults. This was certainly the case on this flight. I wish I’d read the reviews on this website before I booked the flights and I would never have had this hugely unpleasant experience. I strongly advise that everyone heeds this warning and avoids this airline like the plague.

Don’t forget, this is just one persons’ opinion! NOT my opinion! Can’t locate the aircraft type but probably 757/767, and it is Excel Airways and I guess you are flying from Bristol on a Tuesday.

Is that G-SOKO then ?Lovely. Great to see it in fine fettle again.Sincerely yours…. a Kraguj fan 😀

G-BRXK became G-SOKO and belongs in the York area with of a C of A expiry in 2008?:confused:

Edit. Other options would be G-BSXD or G-RADA.

Edit. Monarch last flew this route on 1st June and used a 767-300.

That’s a douzy, zouzy!:D

Good photos, a spy watching the spyers! Probably another police raid in Sevenoaks requesting surveillance like the ‘Nimrod’ over Leeds a couple of weeks ago!:D

is there a website for the museum? Where is it?

I am going to Prague in August and it looks like a great place to visit.

This would seem to be the website, but the English version is under construction.

Here is a little precis.

Prague Museums (Page 1)
Aeronautical Museum (Letecké Muzeum)
Letiště Kbely, Praha 9, Tel: +420 220 204 913, Website: http://www.militarymuseum.cz, Metro: Českomoravská then bus 185, 278 to Letecké muzeum, Open: 1 May-31 Oct 10am-6pm, Tue-Sun, closed Monday
The Kbely aerodrome is home to a fascinating museum of aviation, with exhibits both undercover (arranged in four hangars) and outside on taxiways. Each hanger houses a particular period – Hanger A – pre 1939 aircraft, Hanger B – Second World War aircraft, Hanger C – Czech aircraft since 1945 and Hanger D – sport/acrobatic craft. Particularly notable are the Spitfire, ME 262, Jak 23, Northrop Tiger and Phantom Mk II. A number of MiG fighter jets also contribute to this fine exhibition.
