the route I'm on is operated in conjunction with Aer Lingus commuter, just the plances only carry 40 souls and don't really look that big!

Although sometimes the back doesn't arrive at the same time as the front. Not to worry though, there'd only ever be 20 seconds or so of a discrepancy. You'd hardly notice

The prop planes are pretty good but can suffer a bit more from turbulence and the takeoff and landings are class fun

We'll all be at the airport, although maybe some of us should wait in the field beyond the runway, just in case

now i was on one of those , what i can only descrobe as apiece of shit before, it felt like being boarded on my secondary school bus to fly accross the sea, believe it or not , my belt didnt even fasten right , a woman 2 rows in front of me , keep rocking her seat as it was only held down on 3 cornors , and the sound of the thing , we use to have an old oat crusher on back of a shittly little tractor years ago, and that sounded better than this plane, now haven said that we did make it , but not all the way , ran out of fuel on landing strip whle turning , what a piece of shit, but shockingly enought , for one of if not the only time i actully really injoyed the food , so best of luck

Well back in Essex, and the flights were a-ok apart from the Aer Lingus computer system crashing when I got to southend!!! Had a busy time organising care for my Mum and after lugging this bloody laptop all the way over to Ireland I couldnt get a signal so couldnt see if anyone was interested, which no-one was anyway!! (sob). Maybe in another 3 months.......
