Shit luck for me, just booked a flight with them only days ago.

uhhhh we needed airlines like these.

it was like £20-30 for flights to europe. I guess times have caught up with us.

[Apash]

Don't you guys have Wizz air or Ryanair (as a sort of last resort) in the UK?
I've went to Budapest a couple of times with Wizz air for like 20 euros.

i know but i don't want them to also turn the way of flybmi

it's so ridiculously cheap. it's cheaper than a bus in some cases :/

If you booked through a website that's ATOL protected and/or used a credit card and/or have travel insurance which covers bankruptcy, you'll be fine.

Pretty much all policies cover airline failure unless you went for the mega hyper budget arcade edition.

30 euros. Jesus thats cheap.

Jesus that cheap. That'd be close to 100 for similar distance.

Jesus, I'd be flying to new countries every weekend with those prices. I live so far in the north of Finland that the fuel cost to drive 8 hours to the airport alone is 100€+.
