Positive Flybe experience!

Chica, re your comment above, most low cost airlines don't; the extra cost involved in accommodating interlining pax is a significant cost and that's why they don't.

I flew from DUB to SOU and JER yesterday; I chose BE because it had a 195 on the DUB-SOU route and I have to say, in all fairness, I haven't been as impressed by a new aircraft type in a long time; very comfortable (something one could never say of the 146!), clean, fine big windows; service was very good; both flights a little on the late side, but I made my connection. The SOU-JER flight was on a Dash 8; comfortable - not as nice as the 195, but can't expect it to be; very nice cabin crew (yet to meet a BE cabin crew that wasn't) and both main gear legs held up on landing; what more can I want.

OK, the last bit was a bit tongue in cheek, but I think BE is doing its best and as someone who has been a critic of them in the past, I think they do their best and they provide a good service. Credit where credit is due.
