I didn't think they were any cheaper than some other airlines but may be worth keeping an eye on them anyway. Competition is good for everyone :)

Agree Gav, very expensive in September compared with easyJet, almost double the cost.

Hmmm, a very small airline with a few old planes. They have had some serious delays....check the internet.

I wouldn't touch them, stick with Easyjet and the other well known carriers.

A search shows that it's quite complicated. Is it using Little Planet (Lithuanian) planes? Is it using (Italian) Meridiana planes?

Most importantly, is it ATOL certified? Some web posts suggest that it's not. They may be right or wrong.

I would absolutely require ATOL before buying a flight.

ATOL or not they are a small tinpot airline with old planes and a poor timekeeping record.

They are not even that cheap! So stick with Easyjet and Jet2 both of which are my favourite carriers, better than Thompson and its rip off extra leg room seats charges.
