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!

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
