Taken 20 February 2008 from Manchester, England (Ringway International Airport) - MAN to Barbados (Bridgetown) (Grantley Adams International Airport) - BGI
Manchester – Bridgetown return with Premium upgrade. All seating pre-allocated by First Choice on both outbound and return flights, so no choice of window or aisle seating. Poor 2-3-2 seating arrangements throughout the plane, so do not expect to sit next to each other. Both ways, my wife had to sit in the row in front of me and we were not the only ones. Outbound flight flight attendants cheerful and attentive throughout, but unable to supply any drinks whilst we sat in the aircraft and waited on the ground for two hours due to technical problems. In flight entertainment was a good choice of films in both directions, but the same TV/Radio and music programmes on both flights. Good choice of menu and one of the best meals we have had on a charter flight. Afternoon snack before arrival, which consisted of a couple of sandwiches and a scone with jam and cream. Priority luggage on arrival in Bridgetown was a joke and we had the wait nearly three hours to obtain our suitcases, along with everyone else and no information. What on contrast on the return flight when the flight attendants were very grumpy, positively rude and ignorant to say the very least and positively the worst I have ever come across in many years of travelling. Everything appeared to be too much for them and all they wanted to do was sit and talk and do a crossword in the galley. Food for the main meal on return journey was appalling and breakfast before arrival back in Manchester not much better. This was our first experience and will definitely be our last with First Choice. |
