Cons: Transit information and process was rather confusing. Perhaps the airport guidance was not aware that stating only Terminal E was not adequate. Found it was Gate K but right on the top it also showed terminal F. Perhaps both were in that direction.

Pros: Very helpful crew!
Cons: Seats are cramped beyond my already low expectations. Flight boarded 20mins *after* written gate closure time, but took off promptly, so not a big deal—but time wasted at the airport all the same.review from

Pros: We left on time and landed early.
Cons: It was cramped, uncomfortable and the plane was very, very noisy. I couldn't hear anything in my noise-cancelling other than the sound of the plane jets. My ears were actually sore by the time we landed.review from

Pros: The crew was nice in handling all the complaints.
Cons: Our carry on luggage is acceptable on every other airline, but not on Flybe! hey, the $50/bag each flight is a great way to earn some extra revenue, as is the $4.50 for water! Also the Aircraft was noisy and dingy. Thanks, dudes.review from

Pros: Mediocre airline
Cons: Was charged for baggage leaving Belfast and I had paid for it when I booked. Check in person was rude, to everyone. They lost 1/2 the passengers baggage in Edinburgh. Took @1 1/4 hr for them to find our baggage and get it to us. Will never use Flybe or orbitz againreview from

2.0
Pros: The crew and the security people were very nice
Cons: Flybe’s app wouldn’t work on my phone, so I couldn’t pre-pay my checked bag. To avoid paying £40, they helped me squish it into the compartment and allowed me to take it on board. However, that meant I had to carry it all around the airport (no carts) and lost half of my toiletries. Frustrating!review from

8.0
Pros: Short flight , fine
Cons: In Europe we found this trip you had to walk outside and climb stairs to get on many planes, this one included. Tough on us older folks with carry on luggage. We didn’t have to do that once we got back to states even with United Express a small plane.review from
-
3.6
Cons: Hand luggage size is smaller than all other airlines and so if you have a connecting flight, Flybe will charge you for baggage that other airlines will accept as carry on due to their ridiculous and smaller than normal carry on sizing policy which they are overly Zealous about. £40 each way

Cons: Flight was delayed one and a half hours and on landing at Edinburgh, there was a further hour’s delay, with no explanation or apology, waiting for luggage. This was 12-1am with no apparent regard for the length of onward journeys. I had an hour and a half drive to get home!

Overview of Flybe
From operating hubs in both Manchester and Birmingham, Flybe has a major travel focus within the United Kingdom. In addition to a strong network in England, Scotland, and Wales, flights are available across mainland Europe. Seasonal services are scheduled to accommodate vocational travelers heading south in warmer months to countries that include Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal.
Joint ventures are held with several airlines, including Stobart Air, Eastern Airways, and Blue Islands. Through these partnerships, Flybe offers services to regional locations throughout the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and Scotland. Codeshare agreements are held with a host of large global carriers, including United Airlines, Etihad Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, and Air France. Customers can utilize these partnerships to purchase multiple flights with quick connections.
Flybe uses a combination of De Havilland and Embraer aircraft. The De Havilland Dash 8 series is the most commonly flown and is capable of carrying roughly 78 passengers. The dual-propeller planes are well-suited to short-distance flights within the United Kingdom, while larger jets such as the Embraer 175 are preferred for longer journeys. It is among the largest operators of the Dash 8 aircraft in the world.
Economy is the only class available on all flights. Seats have a standard legroom of 30 in and are configured in a 2 x 2 layout. A window view or direct aisle access is guaranteed. Both a carry-on bag and a personal item, such as a laptop or briefcase, are permitted, weighing a maximum of 10 kg (approximately 22 lb).
