Kiss Flights

[Jo Wissett]

Has anyone heard of these? My good friend has just booked a week in Arillas beginning of Aug with this company.They have bettered Easyjets prices!

My eldest 2 Grandson have used them and thought they were very good. Viv

Interesting! I just had a look and for me this would of been £86 more expensive than EasyJet to fly from Gatwick with them.

Good to know though

Hi all

Kiss flights are the online booking engine for Viking Airways who took over when XL went bang . We have flown with them once and found them to be ok

I just had a look on their website to compare flights for September and there didn't appear to be any - ??

So I did the same for May next year with the same result - odd....

Perhaps they don't fly from Manchester?

Any ideas?

Me thinks Easyjet took there slot at Manchester Janis (XL)...

[Janis]

That makes sense - we're flying Easyjet in September.  Just thinking about next year now....

xx, kiss kiss

Beware little airlines bearing gifts. We flew EUJet to Ibiza to save money, but ended up in Ibiza for four days extra, and ended up with £30 compensation. Our PaulC and others struggled with XL in Corfu last year or the year before. Some have lost a fortune.

If they were underwritten by Government to make competition happen, then just fine. But they are not. And in the current climate, stick with the bigger ones, like EasyJet. Well that's what I think, but would love to hear other opinions.

PS so are we Janis. Your post was a red warning jobbie, but we're on the same wavelength anyway....

love Phil

You may well be right there Phil
It's not what you know, it's WHO YOU KNOW (and trust)
may cost a little more but better safe than sorry

I have just booked to come out at the end of August with Viking/Kiss which I booked through travelrepublic.co.uk

Having done this I read the following review site.

I will let you know how I get on!

Wish me luck, by the look of it I might be needind it.

Well my friend used them this week, and all I know is that they had a 2 hour delay, but suppose that can happen to anyone.  these are the same friends who arrived in Arillas and found they had been double booked!! Great start to their hol eh!

We have no experience of Viking flights, but on our return from Corfu on the 12th July every Viking flight to the UK was delayed. No problems with Thomson or thomas Cook or EasyJet, just Viking/Kiss.

I think the problem with Viking is the very small fleet of planes they have.  If one goes technical, there is no back up and that can cause a knock on effect to all destinations.
