Either generally or on a one off incidence what were the best and worst airlines you've flown on?
Best: Can't really remember - been flying RyanAir so much lately it's more like taking the bus. Will have to have a think.
Worse: Egypt Airline - They'd heavily overbooked the flight and loads of people couldn't get on including us and we'd turned up about 3 or 4 hours before the flight. There was even a groom on the way to his own wedding who couldn't get on. In the end was put on British Airways instead the next day.

I was helping with the Scouts with the departures from Gatwick after the World Jamboree this summer and they were absolutely fantastic, very friendly and helpful, very accomodating and really went out of their way to make everything as smooth as possible, which was quite impressive bearing in mind every group we took to them have at least 50 people, mainly teenagers who didn't speak English and had been on a campsite for a fortnight.....
best airline ive been on would have to be either virgin or arab emirates. both great
virgin especially because i was in first class!! got upgraded at the check-in desk! wahey!! :thumb:
Never had a really bad experience on any airline but never been particularly impressed by any of them either.
Worst- Ryanair or BA
Only been with Excel two times, both times where shit, the first time late by 12 hours the second time the flight was cancel and had to fly the next day, and both times the planes we ended up on where shit,
Thompson and Ryanair were OK, nothing special.
EasyJet was awfull.
No legroom once the chavs infront had put their chairs right back, staff rude and thick.
Worst - Wizzair. The HUMANITY.
I've heard this happens alot with Egypt Air, which is why I'm flying to Egypt with Air Italia via Rome and Milan. However I'll be flying internally from Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh with Egypt Air so I hope the fuckers don't do it then.
Best airline's I've been on have been Lufthansa or Air 2000.
Worst were Ryan Air and Easy Jet, as others have said...no leg room!! But then you get what you pay for I suppose.
I'll be flying to Thailand with Qatar Airlines and apparantly they're really good.
British Airways, on the other hand, never ceases to annoy me. There's never enough legroom, the staff are whiney...
Although no matter what airline, you always get some bastard passengers around you. I always get the whiney git behind me who apparently has a knee problem and therefore I can't possibly put the chair back - and the irritating kid in front of me, who not only puts his chair horizontal, but insists on bouncing up and down. I'm not a short person, and frankly I object to a large chair thumping my knees every time I try and get some sleep. Last time it happened, I jammed myself between his chair and mine so that he couldn't do it anymore and his mum had a massive go at me. *sigh*
My experience was flying with them to Kenya and was like 15 years ago at least maybe more but I still remember it - So if they still do the same thing today with all the computerisation of flight seating then that quite bad.
Can't say I disagree, Excel have been ace for me two years in a row
Virgin are ok, staff always look miserable though.
