Question Airlines..

Has anyone flown using 'EXCEL' airways?


Were they any good?

I've heard the use the equivalent of crop sprayers to ferry ppl to Cyrpus n back... any truths to this??

Lol dunno about the crop sprayers!

I worked for Mark Warner and they used them for all their flights - I have their flight numbers etched into my brain!

Most of our guests said they were ok, a bit cramped but never any major delays/complaints think of them as a upmarket budget airline if that makes sense!

wires hanging out of walls, seats falling apart....in a word tatty.

Still as long as it stays in the air


On a related note, would you walk around on a plane and go to the toilet with no shoes on -- how many males miss the bowl then

We, Wife and I, Flew Excel last year and they were very good indeed.
Great price and GREAT Service. (We had booked premium seats though)

Yep, done the Gatwick - Malaga run a couple times with them now. No complaints apart from the 767 they use being like a cattle market, cramped is no the word...

As for the crop sprayer, they only have 3 type of aircraft, 737-800, 757-200 & 767-200.
