I've always found club in short haul european flights to be a waste of time - you only seem to get nicer food and proper knives and forks. There might be a modicum of extra leg room but I've never really noticed it. It's not like you get fold flat seats or anything. I certainly wouldn't spend my own money on such a ticket.
The closest european destination I have flown to in first class is Athens then to Chania, Crete. I am upset I actually flew first. On the way to Athens the seats were the same, overhead TV and film was the same, the food was the same. The ONLY difference was I could drink alot more.
During the stop over the lounge was good, but hardly worth the price of a first class ticket. You can buy access for £40!
The flight to Chania was worse, no drink as it was such a short flight, and they served a Salmon sandwich that was ROCK solid! And I dont even like Salmon
Since then I would never fly first within Europe. Spain in a non stop short flight, really no point in even looking. Get a cheap flight, spend the difference on a luxury car to rent, and a nice bag for the missus from Puerto Banus

The prices for flying in June, are actually a bargain, Business class on BA from Heathrow £201 each return
That's a bargain? I fly over around 4/5 times a year, it's max a 2hour flight. I've get return flights for €100 on average in regular seats. Save your money for the beer when you get over there!christmc said:
Gents i apprciate this thread should be in the travel forum, but i feel i am more likely to get a response from this demographic.
I am trying to find first class flights to Marbella (malaga airport) , they dont seem to exist ? any ideas or do i need to charter a plane ?
You don't really get first class on short haul flights. You can get business or club or whatever they call it, but it is a complete waste of money. All you get is slightly nicer food and that is it. All they do is put up a curtain to separate you and the paupers I am trying to find first class flights to Marbella (malaga airport) , they dont seem to exist ? any ideas or do i need to charter a plane ?
!Anytime I fly out to Marbella I always fly a cheap airline because to be honest it just isn't worth the extra money for such a short flight.
Bargain! I was quoted £17k from Aberdeen to Marbella

I can find you one for just over 10k, depends on airfields of course, and what aircraft you want.
From memory it was a hawker 400xp. Never actualy looked at is seriosuly. It was a friend who had to get out there like "RIGHT NOW" and was looking at all the options and got a quote for £17k. Needless to say he didn't take it. Just out of interest what plane would it be for £10K?
