VLM Airlines

[chasingtheaurora]

They are in the process of replacing their prop fleet with brand new used jets.

I use them quite a bit to get from LCY to Europe and the Channel Islands and they are just like any other airline. No real complaints.

Actually - that's a point. I live across the river from LCY and I saw a BAe 146 in VLM colouring the other day and thought "hmm, that's odd". That'd explain it. Cheers!

Just booked a few flights with this "Business" carrier

Are they any good? The promotional junk appears to promote last minute checkin options which can't be a bad thing

I always thought that the short check-in options were down to the airports that they fly from rather than anything special that they do themselves.

However, I have flown with them on a number of different routes (I live near to LCY so it is a lot more convenient than Heathrow / Gatwick / Standstead / Luton) and I have always been very happy with the service.

It has been stated on another post but you can always ask for a second alcoholic drink with your meal They would probably let you have more but your flight will not be long enough. (But I did hear one bloke being told there was no alcohol on a 7 AM flight to Jersey).

Although on one flight we did to Antwerp they had to annouce that they did not have any Kosher meals - which was a rather big deal on that route.
