sweet and sour
I fly to madrid every week from lcy, and since the introduction of the 170, there has been constant problems with weight and I've been denied boarding because of this issue. And to top it off, they are tagging all the trolley bags in the gate because there isn't enough room in the overhead bins! While the new aircraft are more comfortable, it seems operationally they are having problems, at least to madrid anyway, as the domestic flights I've been on have all been full without any problems. I'm sure the Emb's are more cost effective, but when you are paying out denied boarding compensation at the rate they seem to be, and the loss of passenger confidence this brings, I can't help but think they made a mistake with type selection. If anyone has any better or more accurate info on this, I would be interested to hear it.
