Excel does well
Just got in ace-lgw on Excel today. Dreadful check in at ACE, but once in the hands of the crew, a nice job well done - clean a/c, courteous & polite crew, pleasant cap & FO & OTD & arrival.
All in all, pretty good service. well done chaps!

Xenia & XLA
....and it's a pleasure working for them as well!
Crews are generally a pleasure to work with (as I'm sure u know Xenia!). Just had the end of season "Bash", we all got thoroughly sloshed, and yes, it was a very good second year!

Yes, well, they would do well, given that they have the best charter aircraft in the whole history of the world (767-200). Pax & Crew love it - if only my employers hadn't sold the 200's to them. Please can we have our plane back Mister?

Hi,
I flew with them to FNC from MAN and was impressed with the level of service and leather seats
. GrantT, you will be on a 757-200. I saw one today at AGP. What seating do XLA have on the 752?
BAe 146-100

Hi, PRB44, thanks for asking,yes, it was a great holiday- just did a week, wish we'd done two. Slightly late departure on the way out was apparently BAA baggage handling problem. Certainly everyone was on board and ready to go on schedule. Very nice hot breakfast. Mrs Chippy and Miss Chippy don't do breakfast, so Master Chippy and I had two each
Would certainly fly them again

Aaah back in good ol' England 
BAe 146-100 The seating on the 757's is still the leather seats and quite comfartable too
The outbound flight was around an hour late because the inbound flight had been delayed. The hot breakfast was nice but no in-flight film (disappointing)! The aircraft was TF-ARE not -ARD PRB
The inbound flight was also very nice with a hot dinner, which was quite tasty and this time there was an in-flight film (the movie has not even been released in UK cinema's yet) but it was black and white
Departure and arrival was spot on time, well done Excel The inbound aircraft was TF-ARD.
Except for the leather seats there was nothing above average on Excel, but i would fly them again.
Regards,
Grant.
PS. I will post some holiday snaps soon.

Hi,
Have a flight with Excel in July to PMI. Never flown with them before and have read these good reports from last year or 2 in this post. Are they still any good knowing how things change or better off flying with BA to PMI instead?
Thanks

Booked a holiday to Zante for June this year, back last year, because of flight times and the fact that it was excel (sick of sub standard foreign carriers).
Low and behold, flight now leaves at 6am instead of 13.30 (great, gonna be fun with a 5 month old!) and now flying with Islandflug - WHO?????
