Hi everyone

Well done to all of you that been successful with your applications to fly who.

I work in the airline/travel industry, I have been cabin crew for big airways for many years. I've been following their progress since the start and think the concept is a very good one and I very much wish them and you all every success in the future.


However, and I don't want to be a killjoy here, I'm not sure if the venture will work. The reason I say this is a very basic one. We all know Florida is a very popular holiday destination for us Brits and flights are always very busy. But, the travelling British public love a bargain and to get something cheap (and then moan about it for being cheap and nasty afterwards) so I'm not sure if they will pay a premium (in sufficient numbers throughout the year to make it viable) for a flight which granted will be very nice but be more than they are used to paying or be willing to pay. A premium product is great to have but I worry that the numbers of poeple willing to pay for it will be very limited, particularly from BHX.

Just a view, I'd be interested to know what others think.
