Jet2.com - A good budget airline.

Advantages: Cheap flights! Isn't that why we fly with them after all?
Disadvantages: All the extra charges, however even after paying for hold luggage it's still cheap.

...I recently went on holiday to Prague, and I noticed my local airport, Newcastle, does not do flights to Prague anymore which were once run by Easyjet. After winning a return flight on Jet2.com, we decided to travel to Leeds to fly to Prague using this airline.

Review of Jet2

Shame jet2 charge for bags!

Advantages: good rates and destinantions from local airports
Disadvantages: baggage charges and no rout changes allowed

...I have just recently flown with jet2 for a couple of trips - one to alicante from manchester and one to rome fumicino from manchester. As they were very close together i thought i would share my views as obviously two very different routes and staff were different on the different routes too. Booking: The jet2 website was very easy to use - i find most low cost airline websites are really and there isn't anything different about the jet2 website that makes it any easier to use than any other of the low cost airlines sites but i would say it is one of the more attractive looking ones. Lovely and bright with an array of offers highlighted and an easy to use search tool on the left hand side of the screen - just pop the details in it asked for such as date, departure airport and arrival airport, along with number of passengers and away...

Jet Who?

Advantages: New Planes, Seat-Back TV, Good Service
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not booked well in advance

...I you have never heard of Jet Blue, don?t be too surprised. They are an American Domestic airline who flies out of their hub at JFK airport in New York. Why we ended up flying with them was more by chance than any degree of forward planning. As always, there?s a story attached to this so I?ll start from the beginning! We were in New York on a buying trip for my friends business and we needed to source the products we were buying and then fly to the appropriate place to finalise the deal. Because we had no idea of where we were going to be from one day to the next we had to make our flight reservations normally the day before taking off. Therein lay the problem. We had planned for the sort of prices we could be expecting to pay for flights before leaving the UK, but forgot to take 2 things into account (which I?ll come onto...

Easy Jet Online

Advantages: Fix the problem if you can prove they are at fault
Disadvantages: Online flight changes, means you must check e mails regulary

...We booked a flight to Italy Marco Polo Airport, using Easy Jet on line. What a nightmare! Firstly they have a policy that they must give 14 days notice if they change your flight. Well guess what they changed our return flight, they did give us more than 14 days notice, however this did not stop us from losing a day of our holiday as we were given an earlier flight. To ensure that all deatils were correct i printed off confirmation of the flight amendment and our departure flight. When we arrived at Bristol airport to check in for our oward flight we were told that our outward flight had changed also!!! we were 24hrs early! which means that we had now lost 2 days of our holiday!! After much discussion we were given a flight from Gatwick, only problem we had to make our own way there from Bristol!!! Again much...

Mizar Wars: Return Of Jet Force Gemini

Advantages: Challenging, plenty to explore and shoot
Disadvantages: Frame-rate not steady, silly story, cannot skip ship sequences

...*A review which is primarily based on the single-player experience of the third-person action-adventure game, Jet Force Gemini.* Jet Force Gemini sees you taking on the evil tyrant of Mizar in a battle across the universe, and although the story, aimed at children (above the age of eleven - thanks ELSPA), can seem silly in places, the plot twists are simply stupid: [SPOILERS] When an asteroid is set on a collision course with Earth, an ancient starship is needed as the Jet Force ships won't be able to get there in time. However, not only do the Jet Force Team have to search for the ship parts, but they are also asked to save all of the Tribals - as if this doesn't take time (not the only thankless task which is a pain in the ass)! It's a farce as they would crash the starship on the Asteroid, yet still allow for players to travel to...

Review of Jet Force Gemini (N64)

Jet - Shine On for everyone

Advantages: old school rock n roll, no weak tracks
Disadvantages: highly influenced by older bands, little originality

...The Australian Rockers JET return with thier second album "Shine On" as the follow up title to thier outstanding debut album "Get Born". The band themselves had a very subdued debut on the UK music scene with thier songs getting little radio play. In fact two years ago very few people even knew the band existed at all, but that all changed with one vodaphone advert. Jet's reworking of the base line from Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" led to the creation of "Are you going to be my girl?" one of the best guitar songs ever written. Since then Jet have gone from strength to strength and have certainly taken a giant leap in song writting / musical maturaty with thier latest offering. In every scene of the word jet are simply an old school rock band. Thier musical influences are plain to see from the beatles, stones and the Who to more...

Review of Shine On - Jet

Thomas and the Jet Engine

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...This isn?t one of the original Thomas stories by the Rev. W. Awdry, but is based on the characters which he created. ?Thomas and the Jet Engine? is a very sturdy hardbook book which measures 15.8 x 15.4 x 1.6 cm. The cover is bright blue with a picture of Gordon looking disapprovingly down at Thomas on the front. Each page of the book has a small amount of writing and a bright colour picture taken from the television series. The pictures really seem to keep children interested in the story. ?Thomas and the Jet Engine? tells the story of when Thomas, everyone?s favourite little blue tank engine, wishes that he could go as fast as Gordon, the fastest engine on Sodor, just once. Thomas? wish comes true one day when the Fat Controller asks him to collect a jet engine from Brendam Docks. The jet engine is attached to Thomas and is...

Review of Thomas and the Jet Engine - Egmont Books

Easy (for them) Jet

Advantages: cheap, good choice of destinations, punctual
Disadvantages: dodgy landing every time, boarding is chaos, lots of orange

...I've been living in France for the last year so I've made quite a few trips back and forth to the UK and have used EasyJet quite a few times. I'd heard both good and bad things about them so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I decided to go for them based on two factors, mainly price and destinations. Note: my flights with EasyJet have all been Newcastle - Charles de Gaulle and vice versa. Destinations Many low cost airlines have limited destinations or go to out-of-town airports, fortunately EasyJet doesn't seem to. I'm only aware of 3 budget airlines flying to the UK from CDG: EasyJet, flybe and BMI Baby. I flew with flybe once and they were great, but they only fly direct to Manchester from CDG which isn't very convenient. BMI Baby only flies to the East Midlands. Price Of all the airlines, flying my route, EasyJet is...

Review of EasyJet - EZU

Shotover Jet- apparently the world's most exciting jet boat ride.

Advantages: Fun, excitement, safe, family friendly
Disadvantages: Expensive, a bit tame

...Shotover Jet is the name of a New Zealand adventure company based in Shotover Canyon, near Queenstown, New Zealand. They offer what is apparently the world's most exciting Jet Boat right through the steeply walled canyon. What is a jet boat and how does it work? You may be wondering what jet boating is. Imagine, if you will, a cross between a hovercraft and a motor boat that can carry up to 28 passengers. These are very rapid boats that can operate in very shallow water and move very close to obstacles. This is ideal for the famous braided rivers of the South Island, which are twisty, shallow, meander over the seasons and have many frequent obstacles. Unlike a propeller driven boat, these boats are powered by jets of water. The water is sucked up through two inlet areas underneath the boat, and then jetted powerfully out...

Review of Shotover Jet Boat Ride, Queenstown

Not so easy-jet

Advantages: Budget airline
Disadvantages: poor service

...I have flown with easy jet a few times without tomany problems but my last experience was not so good, and left me less than impressed with this company. We were going on a family holiday to Bulgaria to spend new year away. We arrived at Gatwick airport two hours before check in as requested. It was 4.30 am and as we dragged our limbs through the massing crowds of Gatwick airports south terminal we suddenly relised we couldnt find our check in desk. After searching the boards to no luck we stopped an asked a member of staff who told us that the check in was now at the North terminal instead, so we jumped on the North terminal train and off we went. After finally checking we found out that there was a two hour delay for our easy jet flight to the airport in Sofia. Being brits we looked at this as not time wasted but time gained...
