Taken February 2005 from London, England (Gatwick Airport) - LGW to Sharm El Sheikh (Ras Nasrani) - SSH

The flights were both on time and in general the service provided by the cabin crew (albeit you have to pay for everything - such as a second cup of tea let alone wine) was good. Indeed the food was passable too. However, the seating is very cramped and if you are over 5'11" you will spend the flight with your knees firmly impaled into the seat in front of you. Probably the most uncomfortable flight I have ever endured and I fly dozens of times a year.

The Boeing 757 I flew in both directions can be considered as aged, and no doubt has had several previous owners in the past. Certainly Fly Jet needs to update their aircraft (I think they only have two, and hate to think what would happen if the aircraft developed a fault - you'll be stranded) ) and when they do it would be great if they would add just a few more inches in legroom.

In summary if you want comfort, better food and a free G&T pay a little extra and fly with a scheduled airline unless you wish to travel like veal cattle.
