I had my first experience of a low cost carrier last night. Flew on Fly Baboo from Nice to Geneva. Started by asking the BA desk for a lounge invitation as I have a Gold card. No problem. Lounge very quiet, staffed by Servisair, no problems, lots of choice. Bussed out to this very clean Embraer 190, wider seats than BA Club Europe (a 2+2 arrangement), more space between them. I was in Row 6; the front 5 rows had even more space between seats. Free refreshments of water, a beef roll and a small tiramisu - all this on a 50 minute flight. Had to wait 15 minutes for bags, but it only cost €45. It wasn't very full, but there were 3 cabin crew, who were polite and attentive.
On the basis of that flight, I'll try Fly Baboo again, although if they don't get better load factors, I don't know how long they will last.
