'I am still amazed that when you pay less to fly than just about any other mode of transport that people still expect 1950's BOAC service from Cabin Crew. I regularly fly Spain to UK on Ryan, EasyJet, Monarch, Air Berlin, BA etc. I expect no more service than I would get on a bus or long distance coach.
I recently flew Spain to UK to San Francisco to Auckland to Christchurch to Auckland to Brisbane to Perth to Singapore to UK to Spain stopping over at all destinations cost £1300 or £130 a leg to go around the world. No doubt if I had tried and used different destinations I could have done it cheaper.
"Simples" you get what you pay for. Cheap and often not so cheerful or spend out and go First or Business.'
Sorry. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.
I don't expect BOAC 1950's service on a 25 minute flight from GLA to BHD.
A paid for snack and bar service is normally provided on this route.
Even on 'a bus or long distance coach' I think you would be a little peeved if someone hurled a seat belt buckle with force on to the seat beside you and banged things around deliberately loudly above your head.
The flights were booked just under two weeks before travel and the return fare per person was £119. Not that cheap really.
Even if I was so inclined there aren't any business or first class seats available between GLA and BHD.
On Monday Mrs FF and I flew to Stansted from BHD with Ryanair, returning yesterday (Tuesday evening).
Once again a paid for snack and bar service but on both occasions delivered by friendly smiling cabin crew. That's all I ask.
