Voice of Travelers to Islay
First class Experience
The first class experience with Flybe from Oban to Islay was exceptional. There were some slight delays, but the captain explained and made sure we arrived on time. The cabin crew was very professional, warm and friendly. They had great choices of drinks and food available but quite expensive. As we were waiting for the passport control, people were complimenting how the seats were very comfortable. The return flight was no different, and we arrived at the airport 30 minutes early. I would fly Flybe again and recommend them.
Meal service surprisingly good
I flew from London to Islay in an A319 then connected with Loganair Airline flight. It was my first time with Loganair flight. The check in was quick, and the process of ticket confirmation was great without delays. I booked the business class where the cabin was clean with plenty seating available. The cabin crew was very efficient and pleasant. They offered us with surprising meal services for the whole flight. The main course was roasted chicken, and chocolate cheesecake accompanies by Champaign. Overall the trip was good.
