I flew with them a couple of years ago AMS to BNK. I can easily say it was the most horrendous experience of my life.

We were told that they were ok but as i was travelling and they were the cheapest we thought what the hell. The plane was not only old but absolutely filthy.

A fat french man (20 stone plus) sat in front of my girlfriend- he then proceeded to recline his chair prior to take off which sent the tray crashing into my girlfriends legs cutting her. Upon asking him to move he made no effort to- upon pointing out to the cabin crew that he should be sat up for take off they asked him to sit up- he said no- then they shrugged their shoulders and then said they couldnt make him. I swapped seats and kicked his chair for 12 hours.

We asked to be moved and they said their was no economy left- we could pay to go business if we had £400 each.

IFE did not work during the flight and we got pork and noodles for breakfast.

I would not fly with them again- but the again some people may have had a wonderful time with them.
