Following on from my thread about booking instruments on flights I was reminded of this, which I think sums up some of these cheap airlines pefectly: (if you are very easliy offended then don't watch)
I am not of the "younger generations" of any family (despite what my picture may suggest) and I don't like budget airlines, but sometimes they are just too convenient to pass up. I sometimes need to travel from Eindhoven to Dublin, and with Ryanair flying precisely that route it feels silly to take a train to Amsterdam in order to get a flight to Dublin with one of the more "regular" airlines. Convenience over quality here......
Some of the younger generations of my family have flown with budget airlines, and I have benefited from their experiences/mistakes.
Kind Regards,
Stephen.
I remember flying with them back from somewhere in to Gatwick airport, and I was sitting close to the front of the aircraft. Just before starting to descend a stewardess came out of the cockpit with a road atlas and said to me "Can you show me where gatwick is on here please?" I think she saw the look of terror on my face and quickly followed it up by saying "There's a passanger wants to see how far it is from London!"I once flew with Dan Air back in the sixties
This reminds me of when, in 1970, I was posted from the Met Police to Anguilla when they had their mini revolt.Light aircraft can be quite exciting at low altitude.
