Aurigny are based in Guernsey, so technically not UK. I used to use their flying bananas between Jersey and Guernsey.

Liked Norwegian Airlines cause they had free WiFi.
The best company but scariest flight came hand in hand. We got a very small (50 odd person) flight from Kefalonia to Athens for the Europa game. Free drinks and biscuits etc throughout the flight but the windy landing on that tiny plane was terrifying. Could tell everyone was trying their best not to look scared but it was pretty damn terrifying!
Its a good point but is it not based on their scheduled arrival? As in arrival was delayed.
Im pretty sure over 50% of easy jet/Ryanair flights ive been on have taken off late.
Usually herded into an area after running around due to final call....to find planes not even there.
Generally board at departure time...and leave about 30 mins late
I don't have an issue with the budget airlines. As Pretty Boy said earlier, you know exactly what you're going to get and you pay for it accordingly.
Yet in many ways, American Airlines (the world's largest airline operater supposedly) behave like a budget airline. A transatlantic flight with no entertainment other than a dated "overhead" system. You pay, not only for upgraded seats, but also for the geography of some seats (e.g., closer to the front, nearer the toilets, certain "combinations" where there's a 2 rather than a 3. And the seats? Jet2, EasyJet and Ryanair probably all have less rigid, more comfortable seating.
Re American Airlines and for a little balance, we flew with them from Heathrow to Miami this July and they have been the best transatlantic carrier we have flown with out of them, BA, Virgin & United. The crew were very friendly (I've found BA to be a little impersonal recently), the IFE was top notch (seat back/wifi) and service was very good.
Once gave people a bad experience on a Dublin to Edinburgh Ryanair flight, this was when Hibs played shamrock rovers in a friendly and I had been out drinking all day and night and went straight from the bar to the airport still pished, there was 3 of us on the flight and just as we landed into Edinburgh I farted a beauty, definitely putting that down to the bevy. Loud and absolutely stinking so it was. The 3 of us were in stitches but the fellow travellers sitting around me were not impressed one bit. We were still howling with laughter as we disembarked the aircraft.
I don't know if you were just unlucky, but I decided to put a claim in against American Airlines after my experience.
I received an email yesterday informing me they were giving me an option of either $800 in vouchers to use with them, or £600 in cash into my bank account.
They definitely are signed up to this scheme, and acknowledged that in the email they sent back to me.
Using hainan airline Chinese company when going to Dublin from Edinburgh in December.For two of us it cost £147 return on the dreamliner.Luggage allowance of 23kg each included in the price and also selected our seats.Would have cost £274 with Ryanair including luggage.
It comes in from Bejing and goes on to Dublin.
Not been bumped checked prices again.We are going for 18 days.Check price for return flights on 30th December and no cheap fare on that date.
Fare at moment is £163.still to add luggage on.Still works out cheaper with hainan
Flyglobespan used to be pretty bad.
We flew to Cyprus with them about ten years ago and their communication with customers was appalling. No information despite a long delay to flight. Aircraft was filthy inside too.
Not surprisingly they're out of business now.
With luggage its £230.Not selected seats.
going round in circles here, i literally checked it as i was typing and that was the price with 2 cases, and picking seats on both flights for 2 people, if that same flight was booked a few months ago it would have been much cheaper, you are happy with the price you got, as i mentioned, the wife and i are going with ryan air to dublin for some shopping in december, paid less than £100 for the flights and a case and picking our seats, it also doesnt really matter how many days you are going, you pay a price for the flight out and for the flight back
Enjoy żour timoe in Dublin.
My brother and his mates had a bad experience with Easyjet a couple of months ago on a flight back to Gatwick from Croatia.
The flight was almost 3 hours late in taking off due to a fault with the aircraft, the passengers were sitting in the plane on the tarmac for all that time, with hardly any access to water in temperatures in excess of 30 degrees.
Due to the delay, they were then too late to board their flight from Gatwick to Edinburgh, which was also with Easyjet, even although that flight was also late in taking off and they were at the departure gate in time for the delayed take off time but were still prevented from boarding.
They were told that the next flight to Edinburgh was the following afternoon and that they would need to pay £100 each to board that flight. Meanwhile, another member of their party who was originally meant to be getting a flight to Aberdeen was given a complimentary flight to Inverness (I know it's hardly next door to Aberdeen but they still paid for the flight). Meanwhile the Edinburgh crowd were told they had to pay. In the end, they all chipped in for a hire car at Gatwick airport and shared the driving back home.
I'll personally never fly with Easyjet after that again, if I can help it.
Flew to Stansted and back from Edinburgh with Easy Jet two weeks ago and there was close to fisticuffs as passengers were offered free speedy boarding in return for placing their hand luggage in the hold. The folk who had already paid for both were complaining. By the time that the speedy borders had got on there was maybe a dozen of us who hadn't taken up the offer and even though we got on last there was plenty space for hand luggage. I can see this going to stuff free in the hold and paying for hand luggage.
