Best airline

[lorbs]

Whats the best airline you have used into Orlando. Anyone tried Britannia or My Travel recently. Travel Citys own branded flights are cheap enough but heard lots of problems with them.
Changing the subject, do you need pool heating in early September.

Hi Lorbs,
Been a few times and by far the best airline I have travelled with is British Midland.
I know many people will probably disagree with me, but from my own experience they are the best.
I've previously been with Virgin, Britannia, Monarch & Airtours and these don't even compare. Excellent service with free meals, snacks & drinks. Nothing was too much trouble.
As for your other question, no you won't need your pool heating in September. We went in May last time and the pool was very pleasant, so by September your pool should well upto temp. after the summer sun

Best Direct from Manchester, Virgin. Indirect, British Midland.

We used My Travel last October and had no problems with them. Upgraded to Premiair Gold and it was well worth the money.

Virgin the best for me

I agree with you about British Midland. However we have just been informed that our flight in July is now to be operated by Icelandair. With no seat back tvs and a configuration of 3 and 3. Really annoys me when airlines do this, we as the passenger have no recourse to do anything about it. The same thing happened a few years ago with Virgin sooo irritating

We travelled via Washington with United last time, and are doing so again. Also last time the pool was not switched on the first day when we got there (mistake of the agents) October 16th and it was freezing, even for the kids. It made a lot of difference once it was heated. We have requested pool heat again for this October.

BA for me every time, we travelled with Virgin & BA to Orlando within months of each other. Virgin's plane had many problems, our arm rests were broken, my tray fell onto my legs when I tried to use it, the seat back tv's were not working properly, the toilets were dirty and the food was just awful especially the dry tiny sandwich and hard cake at tea time.

In Contrast, BA's seats were more comfortable, they have footrests and comfortable padded ears to rest your head on so you can sleep. Food was good, aircraft was in good condition.

So for now BA would have to be my choice, however I could be tempted to try the new First Choice upgraded seating.

BA have to be near the bottom of my list. Rain was coming in thru the window, told stewardess she was not interested. Kids meal was based around chocolate, Choc drink, dessert, choc bar etc.
We have never had a bad Virgin flight but our neighbours wouldn't fly with them again.
I think it all depends on which plane you are alotted and if the staff have got out of the right side of the bed.

Strange.. I had a similar thing happen on a Thomas Cook flight but it was not coming in the window, it was condensation from the Air Con leaking onto my head.

Continental is the best airline by a mile.
