Just got back from The Gambia. We flew Gatwick to Banjul with Viking. The flight was booked through The Gambia Experience so they obviously charter the flight from Viking. It was the first time we'd ever heard of or used Viking and, quite frankly, after reading this website I was very worried. It turned out that there was nothing to worry about. The flights were on time, the food was good, the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The service (duty free and bar) had plenty of choice (both ways). We paid for extra leg room and got it! On the return flight each seat had a bottle of water on it (tell me any other budget airline which give them away free???). The only problem we had was when we landed in Gatwick and the steps didn't work so we had to wait about 20/30 minutes for the ground staff to bring new steps. Not really the end of the world!!! I would certainly use Viking again.
