Got a domestic day trip LCYNCL... just wondering if I should have breakfast at the airport?

I have flew them from Nottingham East Midlands to Aberdeen last year.

We had an unscheduled stopover at Leeds/Bradford to pick up extra pax due to an aircraft going tech, but overall I was impressed with their service.

I would certainly have breakfast before boarding though, as I don't remember their food service excelling. [8D];)

I think the food service you can do on the props that they fly into LCY is pretty limited.

The catering at LCY is actually among the best I've come across at an airport. Fairly decent bacon sandwiches or a full english are served at both the landside and airside waiter-service restaurants. The landside "Coffee Corner" (up the escalator, but before security) often has these lush cranberry & white chocolate cookies.

Excellent steak-frites too, if you're there at other times of the day.

Cheers,
Mike

I've never understood quite how why it works but it does: I used to fly to norwich from Edinburgh. Short and sharp really.

I used to fly with them a lot on the MAN-NWR route, food wise it's just snacks, but the champers more than makes up for the lack of food :D A really nice friendly airline and I'm going to miss them. Unfortunately they stopped the route the day after Flybe started their own service.
