Legroom, staff and entertainment
Waiting on Tarmac, lights on during overnight flight
We flew from Gatwick to Bridgetown Barbados on 2 April 08 with First Choice, we had no problems with the airline or the flight at all, although we waited on the tarmac for 'plastic tumblers' for over an hour, which was reported to be the fault of the airport catering company.
The seats for very roomy to sit and for you legs. Seats are not pre-allocated, as when we checked in the assistant had a pile of boarding cards in front of her and selected two together for us. The emergency exit row on the wing was left free and we were asked if we would like to occupy it, and we gladly accepted, taking our leg room to about 1.5 metres.
The staff were quite good, and the pilot was great, audibly showing his frustration at being stuck at the airport.The entertainment consisted of 4 or 5 movies, a selection of TV programs, games and radio, and for £5 more you can get some newer movies and more games, but we didn't bother. I was the plane champion at the word solving game for the flight!! The only gripe was the lights were left on for all but an hour or so on the way home, adding to that the jet lag incurred with even a good amount of sleep on the flight, it left many dreary faces back in Gatwick early in the morning.
From my experience reading FCA reviews, the short-haul flights sound terrible but my long-haul experience was excellent, especially for the cost.
Happy Flying
