Anyone with experience of this airline? I have to fly L*t*n-Galway next week!

great little airline from my experiance ....

flown them Dublin - Galway a few times in the past.

They don't try and gouge you for everything like the Paddy Luftwaffa does.

I know they have had a few EFATO incidents?

Never flew with them. They've been around since the late 1960s. They initially flew a small fleet of Britten Norman Islanders but now operate much larger ATR-42 and 72 turboprops as well.

I used to use them from Luton to Waterford and they're fine - as long as the weather is OK.

The only issue is that the lockers are tiny, so a standard cabin bag won't fit, which is a pain if you like to cram everything in one small suitcase like me.

i've used them also from Luton to Galway a few times. no issues - prop aircraft, free paper, left alone, no jingles.

The small Galway airport is also very hassle free. Unlike Luton where yesterday I had to queue 1hr to get into the airport (7am) thanks to the poor traffic flow following the new link road opening. The queues inside the airport were equally horrendous - Luton's answer is a £3 fee to jump said queues!

I think EasyJet/Peel holdings started all that with the Priority Lane at Liverpool Airport that led into the security/scan area! Then you have the 'Speedy' boarding pass.
