    Good Points: Good leg room and nice staff. On time and polite.

    Bad Points: Can't think of any.

    General comments: We flew to Palma from Exeter. Great flight no delays there or back. We had a baby with us as well and there were no probs. Will be going again next year with them. So cheap as well. Great value for money. Way to go Flybe.

    Have flown with several cheaper companies like Flybe but they have come out tops every time. Nice friendly staff, clean planes, comfy seats. Excellent service every time.

    I dislike Flybe because they don't offer very good holiday flights. The food was unappetizing and the seats in the plane were quite uncomfortable. The customer service could also improve a bit!

    I have been flying with them since they started a few years ago now to the Channel Islands due to my work. I have always found there service great and never encountered any problems. The aircraft are always clean and they have great seats, far better than most airlines. I fly from Southampton, but also travel all over the uk, always choosing Flybe and I'm pleased to say that I have never had a delay over 30mins, which is very good. I would recommend Flybe everytime.

    I went to the flight with low expectations, yet they managed to disappoint me. The whole experience was definitely never again. I was traveling with my daughter who was revising for her exams so we had a lot of books. I knew it was 20 kgs per person, so I figured a 30 kgs suitcase for 2 should be OK. Little did I know that they also had a limit of 20 kgs per bag. I didn't know, because it is not mentioned anywhere - apparently it is on the FlyBe website, but since I booked through Lastminute I ...

    We left Southampton for Manchester 10 mins late but arrived 10 mins early. Thats because it was a 40min flight, where as the ticket showed 1hr. Easy on and off and no problems. On return we boarded 12 mins before scheduled departure. But then had to wait for extra crew members who needed to get to Southampton. They didn't turn up till after we should have been airborne. So late departing and in the end 14 mins late landing. In the end believe a flight went wrong and the crew were out of hours, s ...

    I do a lot of business travel doing short haul to Ireland, Norwich and Exeter, Flybe is always my preferred choice versus any other low cost carrier and probably BA, knocks Easyjet and Ryanair for six.

    I'm from Manchester originally but have lived in Norfolk for 17 years now. I go up to see family, who live near Manchester Airport, every 3/4 months which I used to have to drive, 4 hours each way, going through Mansfield and Chesterfield. I now use Flybe's Norwich to Manchester return flights and have to say I've been well pleased with the service and prices. I always pick flight times which are the cheapest, it's quick with no hassle. As I've registered with FlyBe I now collect points for ...

    Manchester to Milan 11 April - 3.05pm flight left finally at 7.30pm and was routed through Birmingham to pick up passengers from a 6.30am flight from Birmingham to Milan and a later one which Flybe had also cancelled. It's tempting to think they thought they could put three flights on to one larger plane. Some passengers from the early morning flight had been bused to Manchester to get our flight and found themselves back in Birmingham 14 hours later. Flybe couldn't find their own plane so had t ...

    I flew with Flybe to Jersey from Southampton many times and can say I have never had a big problem with them. There staff have always been very helpful and there has been a few small 10-30 minutes delays, but when you are flying to a small island at 8:30am with fog around that is going to happen! Great Service, Flight Crew where wonderful, Aircraft very clean and tidy, great legroom and seats. Overall, a great airline, would fly with them many more times, well recommended!

    Flew them for the first time on their inaugural Aberdeen-LGW service, which they have taken over from BA. They seemed pretty professional to me.Their Embraer 195 was brand new and very comfortable. There was a 5 minute delay getting on stand at LGW, although this was due to baggage handling problems at Aberdeen, and we had the same problem (only worse) outbound with BA. The only real complaint was having to wait 45 minutes for my bag at LGW South Terminal. BA used the North terminal - if Flybe p ...

    I have flown with FlyBE on many occasions from Birmingham to Glasgow. The flight takes about an hour . Every time I have flown with them there has been delays between two hours and once a remarkable ten hours. The staff misinformed me. On one occasion I was told that a crew member was late, Another member of staff told me that the plane was delayed in Belfast and another member told me that the flight was stuck in Glasgow! There prices are quite high now compared to BMIbaby. I will stay ...

    On our flight was Manchester to La Rochelle, we were delayed 4.5 hours going out, and 8.5 on return. We know also that the flight coming out was hugely delayed, another flight was cancelled and we are waiting an explanation. We will never fly with them again as other customers we spoke to had experienced delays before. The flights were not particularly cheap and if you are delayed for 13 hours on short flights like this, it's unacceptable.

    I flew from Belfast to LGW with my 3 month year old son. When I picked up my luggage I found that the buggy had been completed destroyed. It was badly ripped and the chassis was completely bent. Fast forward to January 2007 and I am still awaiting compensation, I have had to fork out for another new buggy. Completely unacceptable.

    Well Piglet I'm sorry to say, but your findings are not mine, maybe I've just been unlucky. However I think not. The Flube airline prices are good if you book in advance (as in at least a month in advance). Please don't make the mistake of wanting or needing to change your flight ticket though! All of a sudden you find that Y Economy class suddenly becomes a number of different versions of Economy class. This can be very costly if you have to change your ticket or flight. I have now flown ...

    I have travelled to many places in the UK and abroad with Flybe. They are Fab! I have never been delayed (touch wood). Most times when I fly to and from Manchester we get in early. The seats are quite wide, and the staff really care. It is kind of no frills with frills! I have even been given extra leg room on the day for no extra cost!(the plane was not full) Website is really easy and they email lots of offers once you register for them. I hope you found this useful!
