Fly Who

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

Lot of discussion on other boards about this company (Fly Blu etc...)

Seem stheir ATOL membership/cover has lapsed and they are now not taking bookings untill March 2007.

It is said that they might be on Watchdog next week (20th)

Could be interesting.

Anyone got a booking with them??

We were tempted but thanks to research on this and other boards we realised they had tried to set up before so we never bothered. Ive been watching their site and that first flight date keeps getting put back further. So glad we never bothered, having said that we are booked with Globespan for this next summer but they seem much more established

I'm surprised they are still trying to get going! They seem to have been around for quite a few years now trying to get off the ground (pun intended!).

Was it fly who that were trying to set up flights from Glasgow last year?

No, Flywho (formerly Fly Blu) are designed to operate from Birmingham only, and their plan (back in 2004) was to offer direct flights to Orlando Sanford and St Petersburg. However, despite lots of show, they have not looked like getting a proper operation in place and I now have serious doubts over the validity of this company. We put them in the 2007 Brit's Guide on the basis they were due to start flights in July, and then again in October. Now they have postponed their start-up date for the FOURTH time to March 2007, and I must admit it looks increasingly dubious. I wouldn't be inclined to book with them until they have proved they can 1) charter some planes to use (which, to this date, they still haven't done), and 2) operate successfuly for an extended period. The folks at Sanford Airport are extremely frustrated by this repeated on/off operation, and I wouldn't at all be surprised to see them on Watchdog.
