Flown with them a few times, they're ok

Last year 4 hour delay from Barcelona, sat on plane for over an hour in the heat then back to terminal for over another 2 hours, very little communication no food vouchers offered. Eventually back on plane they offered free drink (non alcoholic)and snack mini packet of crisps.

I use kayak.co.uk for flights. It's never let me down!


The +/- 3 days feature (it's a bit hidden, but it's there!) is really useful as it shows if you can make savings by changing your flying days slightly. Friday is not usually the cheapest day to fly, so if you can be a bit flexible, you might save. If you use 'LON' as the airport code, it picks up all London airports.


The other think you want to check is legroom. It varies wildly and if you are going to be 8 hours on a flight, check you won't be too cramped, especially if it's an overnight flight. I'm 5'11" and legroom can be a real issue for me on longer flights.

Off thread but it used to amuse me when I used to fly Finnair (thinair)


And older readers may remember Danair (nothing to do with Denmark) who were christened 'Dan Dare' as it was always and adventure


Then there was the lovely sounding Debonair who were one of the first budget airlines (with Ryanair and Easyjet) - most have only heard of the latter two as they went bust fairly swiftly

My post was funny


Yours is just crass


And this is from someone who has been slsgged off as being boorish (I may be proud of this - as I was probably being too subtle for the readers of East Dulwich).


And I know it kinda lingers

I've flown Norweigan a few times on the JFK route. The Dreamliner fleet is lovely as are the cabin crew a - but it is still a budget airline. Bring your own blankets, pillows, and headphones unless you want to pay for them. It makes sense to get the baggage/seat reservation/meal package even if you don't eat the meals as its still cheaper than paying for the bags and seat separately. The meals are paltry, my kids don't like them, and hey tend to get served quite late into the flight so definitely bring food for your toddler.


If you come prepared the flight itself is quite comfortable and in my experience the crew are kid friendly. Norweigan are gf really the cheapest to JFK. The main drawback is they only do the night flights which we find is a nightmare for the kids' jet lag. After several bad experiences we now have a day flight only policy!

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built. 
    • I am looking for 1 unit which is working for £50 cash. Thank you
    • Can’t recommend the company enough, great service.
