Rumour suggested the CRJs were going to Sahara Air in India, I even asked Kabir who said that it was the rumour too, however, I think that they are in a trade in with Bombardair for all the aircraft. Anyway, the CRJs were nothing but problems for the airline, bit of a bad mistake.

Mongu,

The business class was a joke, I agree. I have travelled GCI-LGW a few times in it and I do not now see the point of paying for it. The seats were the same though they said that they have “cut out the middle man”. Food was bad plus unnecessary on such a short flight. They also have three different types of class, economy, premier, business (whatever they are named) yet they are low cost? Hmm.

I think they serve tea/coffee/orange plus a croissant although this I think stopped in October. All the soft drinks used to be free, however, alcohol was grossly over priced. I think you must pay for everything now.

Luke,
Trouble is with an all Q400 fleet some of the lesser capacity routes will have to be cut and Exeter would probably be in that category.

The Q400 is an excellent aircraft for the airline. Low operating costs and for Flybejust the right size for its market. Southampton by the way is doing excellent with seat sales way way above target and new destinations being added. It was great initiative to establish in such a place. However, I still find it hard to the airline as “low cost”
