Good thread - I'm flying with them on Sunday to the 'slopes' .... It's only to Chambery so i'm sure I can make do with less legroom for an hour or so. My 3 year old won't be too bothered either ...
But do they allow you to add baggage allowances together? It's 20kgs per bag - but will they let you add 15 and 25 for the same? Just easier to pack bags if you're not worrying about the weight too much ...

here you go - https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...d-flights.html
not started by me, but i thought i had commented on excel before! as i recall, it all went very smoothly. only problem we had was with the hire car company at alicante - nearly missed the flight on the way home, but the check in people stayed open for us.
within 15/20mins of getting to the airport (IIRC), we were boarding, so my experience of excel was pretty good for what it cost. HTH

flew with them a few years back to KOS.
Budget airline, never been as cramped as I was on that flight, flight attendants as well were ugly.
Pilot on take of from Kos jumped the que, was funny but I imagine it could have been dangerous. The crews face when he told them to get strapped in was funny!!

We went to Cyprus with them a few years back... worst flight ever!! The plane interior was literally held together by brown parcel tape, and we were crammed in like cows heading to slaughter...
Still we got there and back in one piece, but I won't be flying with them again
