"very nice when it was Air UK"
Hmmm I can't let that one go by. I used to work at Stansted and used Air UK to fly on business - in the end I had to stop using them, I would rather drive to one of the other London Airports rather than risk being late for a meeting or not turning up at all. They were just too un-reliable.
You can say what you like about the current Lo Cost carriers, but I use them a lot for both business and pleasure and they put the old Air UK to shame. Good riddence I say.
