General Comments

I had never heard of VLM before I flew with them last month and I've got to admit I was slightly nervous. Having only ever flown as a tourist before I was used to the larger planes and airlines and was worried how VLM would match up but I have to admit I was very impressed.

The plane we flew on was a Focker 50 (don't let the name put you off) it is actually very nice, it does have propellers but apart from a few different clicks and wurrs here and there the flight didn't seem any different from the Jet planes I've flown in the past. The cabin was very roomy as airlines go and at 6'3" I could easily fit my legs in which is a first for me on a plane.

As mentioned in the previous review the fact that the wings are fixed to the 'roof' of the plane gives you an uninterrupted view of the scenery - I flew to London City Airport and you do get to see lots of the major landmarks including the London Eye, Tower Bridge and the Millennium Dome on both take off and landing.

The cabin crew were very friendly and the complimentary sandwich (although a little stingy on fillings - but you cant grumble - it was free) and drink were a welcome surprise and made the 45 minute journey seem to go even faster. There were no delays on either journey and the flight couldn't have been more trouble free.

The tickets only cost us about £20 each way including tax so the quality of service we received for that amount is amazing. In the past I have always caught the train to London but from now on I will be flying and VLM will be top of my list - recommended.
