I was booking flights the other day from billund (Denmark) to Amsterdam and this outfit popped up as an option via Vilnius, as did air Baltic via riga. id never heard of them so did a quick google out of curiosity.and didn't really like what I saw, although neither were going to be a firm option for me.
ive now booked Norwegian via oslo...

It's the 'Curse of Airliner World magazine'. Any time an emerging carrier is featured, start counting the days before they close for business !
