:hmm:

Any feedback please on the relative merits of either Eos or Max, STN-JFK?
Might be travelling in July and although rather more concerned about the quality of the flight crew it would be pleasant to know which company gave better value for the buck.
Thank you.;)

Saw an article this week with both being road tested
[sorry cannot find it to post for you]

bottom line was you get what you pay

MAX is a good superior Y service for about GBP900

EOS is an excellent top end J product, but you pay twice as much!

hope this helps

Some good stuff about EOS and Maxjet on the "Connecting Flights" blog (http://babelfish.typepad.com/babelfish/boutique_airlines/index.html). See also airlinequality.com's Maxjet reviews (http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/maxjet.htm) and (so far) sole EOS review. (http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/eos.htm)

I think the price differential between EOS and Maxjet is >2x, even with the new EOS advance-booking offer of GBP1000 each way if you book 6 weeks in advance, likely an attempt by EOS to generate some extra points of load factor while not diluting their core late-booking business market (and to improve their cash flow?).
