Well ahead of our flight date, Oct 26, 7324, Inverness to Heathrow (en route to Canada) we paid for one extra bag each. In fact, we took only one extra bag total and weighed in one at 20k and the other two at 17k each. However, Flybe charged us an exorbitant 257 pounds for extra luggage. In taking our up- front payment for extra luggage then not allowing extra weight, Flybe could be guilty of false advertising in the least. How on earth Can Flybe accept your payment for extra baggage, but not allow extra weight? And how could they charge such a monstrous fee when we had already paid ahead for two extra bags? What is the point of buying more luggage space if you can not add to it? International clients who have tickets proving they are leaving for another continent should be allowed extra baggage. B/A used to allow this. Unless changes are made, we will never use Flybe again. Incidentally, the flight was less than 2/3 full so the weight should not have been a problem. The overhead luggage space was too small for standard carryon luggage.

I tried to book Flybe online . it is very complicated .Then I went to a travel agent and after lots of trouble , was able to book but they did notinform us that you had to pay extra for for the luggage. Itried to book that but
without success. I managed to book the luggage and they took my money but
I cannot find the receipt .I travel quite frequently but never have had these problems.

This is the third flight I've flown with Flybe. The outbound flight (Southampton to Frankfurt) was about 3/4 full and we left about 5 mins later. We arrived in Frankfurt 19 mins early. The return was almost full, and was 10 mins late departing, but arrived in Southampton 10 mins early !. Of all the flights I've gone with Flybe the only one that was late was Manchester to Southampton, which landed 30 mins late. But with about 4 flight a day between these cities, if the first flight of the day is ...

Excellent. Would have taken 11 hrs on National express, took me just over 2hrs from check in to reaching the arrivals area at newcastle with flybe.

The staff were friendly and efficient, flight was smooth. As I had a back pack, I had no luggage to collect , it was just like getting on and off the bus but in a much quicker time.

Would use again for this journey.

Flybe airlines are unacceptable. I have flown with them earlier this time from manchester to paris. one way the luggage was delayed 48h, which left me very stressed, cause i was going there for my weddingand had my wedding dress in it! but finally we received it, so ok.worst thing happened on the way bag, our luggage was totally lost! they told us it probably stayed in paris, and will be sent to me in 24h time. unfortunetly it never arrived... 5 months now. happily i was insured... i lost all of ...

We flew Newcastle to Gatwick to Guernsey 7th Feb 09 with Flybe - At the Newcastle check in we were informed that we had £130 of excess baggage to pay. We obviously had no choice but to pay this, only to get on the plane and notice it wasn ' t even half full. We checked in on 7th February at Newcastle Airport with 3 suitcases, two large holdalls as hand baggage, a laptop and a pushchair for my 6 month old baby. I specifically asked if the pushchair would be at Gatwick as we had a few ...

If you're considering Flybe for a ski/snowboard trip - don't. They didn't fit any of the skis on the plane on the way. Which was 31st jan 09 Manchester to Salzburg. No one was told this. They had to discover for themselves. On the return flight the same plane. the toilet overfilled and leaked everywhere during flight. The air stewardess also stated all bags and skis were on board. I saw my luggage being driven off back to the airport with others whilst boarding the plane. When i got to Manchest ...

We had a connecting flight within the UK, continuing from Birmingham to Paris on a Thursday in July 2008. The previous flight was a domestic UK flight also from Flybe. Upon booking these flights at the airline website, we had an hour between each flight, there was no warning or recommendation anywhere, so an hour seemed very reasonable; and it was!! had not the previous flight from flybe been an hour late. But that's not the problem, flights can frequently be late, the problem was that the Fly ...

Good value for money, reasonably on time you get what you pay for. Not much room, expensive food and beverages. I would travel flybe again but prices been rising in the last 12 months

Flying from Birmingham we had an extra bag to be paid for and checked in. Aprrox 5 staff at "Help Desk" chatting amongst themselves and 1 at customer service desk (adjacent) who was dealing with someone. Waited approx 20 mins without a word from anyone at help desk. Just a word would have been nice to confirm our query and that we were at right desk.

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 ...
