    Delays, ran out of hot food after only serving a few rows, luggage allowance being bang on 15 kg if you go over its £7 a kilo extra.(my advice put extra in your hand luggage they don't care about that which is really weird)!

    It's a fine airline, I wouldn't expect 5 star service, because it is so cheap. But as long as you get there, in my view, it's fine.

    Long haul Gatwick to Orlando Sanford with 3 young children - dreading it after reading other reviews of Excel Airways on here. Had to comment to redress balance. Personally go transatlantic at least 4 times annually with major carriers - this is NO WORSE THAN ANY OF THEM AND IS LESS THAN TWO THIRDS ...

    Don't use XL Airways. They are unbelievable. Our flight was due to leave Manchester on the 9 July 08 at 1855 but after a 28 hour delay with promises of food and drink which never materialised we left from Newcastle so we had a 5.5 day holiday instead of 7. They also said claim from our own insurance ...

    We returned from Kefalonia last night with XL Airways. We were 4 adults and 1 child travelling. They checked the child in sitting by himself. When I complained I was told they had no policy of sitting children with accompanying adults, across the aisle was adequate. I found their attitude was appaul ...

    My wife & I (late middle age - alright almost retired!) flew to Grenada with XL with great trepidation having read the negative reviews, but with such a price difference (saving around £400), we were prepared for a bit of discomfort on a nine hour journey.
    We were pleasantly surprised. Altho ...

    XL airways are a good way to fly. Yes they have delays, don't all planes. I mean, yes we had a 1 hour delay while sitting on the plane but they gave us free snacks and drinks. A great way to go XL.

    Appalling leg room. My son had to sit with his leg in the aisle and stand up when the trolley came past. Food dreadful and over priced. It took any pleasure out of flying
