Has anyone ever flown with these? Through the student travel website I can get an amazingly cheap flight. It's got a connection but I'll be saving over £200 and I am really tempted to book it tomorrow :unsure:

I understand they usually fly to Europe so not sure how comfortable their planes will be but for a £369 RETURN flight (inc taxes) I honestly think I can put up with a £$%£$% airline so long as they're reliable :unsure:

Not used them Josh but it sounds like a great price!

Given you're going for a decent length of time, I think putting up with a connection etc wouldn't be so bad.

To be honest, we used US airways a lot a few years ago and the connection wasnt so bad as long as you could just accept it and not find it frustrating. Sometimes it was a bit of a relief to get off the plane and know there was just a short hop left

The price is the main draw, the reviews look awful but then I always figure 9/10 times if you have a positive thing to say you don't really bother writing a review :unsure:

It's an extra £100 to go American Airways or another £110 to go British Airways.

Is American Airways better than British or the other way around?:unsure:

Never flown them across the pond but have flown them on the continent between Madrid and Lisbon and I think on to the Azores, although that may have been TAP. It was many years ago. The planes were comfortable and no less roomy than any other flight.

I flew with them years and years ago from Madrid to heathrow and I thought they were the height of luxury compared to the Monarch flights I used to get to Spain on the outward journey!

I think I'm going to book BA now as the Iberia flight is all sold out! I knew I'd have to snap it up quickly but I didn't have the money until today.
