RE: top ten charters
Of the five charter airlines you have listed above, I have flown with only four, but here is how I would rank them:
1. Britannia – fantastic food, especially on long-haul (over 5 hours)
2. Airtours – flew with them in 1997 to Herklion, but from what I can remember, they were reasonable. Food was good enough. We flew an A320 from LGW.
3. JMC Air – the word CRAP springs to mind, but definitely better than Monarch. I flew both of their two DC-10 aircrafts which I was glad to hear (thanks to this great forum) that they are going to be scrapped. The ceilings were caving in, we were made to watch Yellow Submarine (the tacky Beatles cartoon) from LGW to POP which was boring. Lack of televisions and well, I could go on and on…… (email me for more)
4. Monarch – ha ha ha! I was relieved to find that the travel agent had made a mistake for our summer hols this year, I thought we were flying Monarchj, but it turns our it is the #1 charter airline…Britannia!!!
Not flown on Air 2000, but I will one day!
