Palmair

Package holiday to Hotel Eden, Garda, Italy September 2010 - perfect service from Palmair booking the holiday, great flights and transfers, wonderful resort representative Caroline, hotel staff the most welcoming and helpful I have ever met, offering daily individual menu options to a member of the group who is a diabetic vegetarian (who cannot eat mushrooms!!), and immaculate cleaning throughout our stay. Thank you all concerned for a wonderful holiday.

Bournemouth has a new, state of the art departure terminal where check in for Palmair is handled efficiently by friendly and professional staff, with pre allocated seats. No security queues, plenty of space and excellent bar/restaurant in the departure lounge. Once onboard, space is adequate for short haul, seats comfortable, meal service is a cold starter, hot main and dessert with cheese and biscuits on evening flights with coffee/tea, included in the price. Staff at all levels ensure travellers are kept well informed. What really makes the difference is the crew. Palmair crew all know each other, enjoy working together and clearly enjoy their job. If theres a way of solving it, they'll solve it! Courteous and friendly too.

From my home, Bournemouth is 80 miles, Heathrow is 20. Given parking, check-in, size of airport etc., using Bournemouth saves me time over Heathrow.

A joy to fly in this day and age. Such a departure from the no frills, normal charter and inpersonal scheduled carriers. I'll be looking at them first for my 2011 holiday. I wish them continued success

we flew on spirit of peter bath boeing 737/500 to corfu

Excellent checkin-no budget airline "extras",personal service

The aircraft has comfortable leather seats and good legroom and a meal is served during the flight(vegetarians etc are catered for ) and no announcements for the lottery tickets etc.The food is basic and could be improved

The aircrew are fantastic.The pilot gave several announcements which were informative and friendly.The cabin staff were professional and an age range and you are given their background in the flight magazine

Every assistance was given by palmair team at Corfu who spoke Greek fluently.

You can see their culture develops their loyal customer base.Some would say its retro flying culture but as apparantly Peter Bath, their sadly missed MD said "Dinosaurs may be extinct but they are still talked about today!!" If you fly with them you can see how this small Bournmouth airline is up in the top 10 airlines!!

I like Bournemouth airport because its easy to get to no hassle on motorways, knowing exactly where to go and what to do on arrival, its like having your own private plane waiting for you, no huge crowds to wade through and everyone is so happy and helpful and always on time. I have never had any delays wont travel from anywhere excellent way to start your holiday. Completely relaxed. Palmair celebrated 50yrs last year and why because they are the very best!

Good points, Service, food,general customer care. Bad points, none. A brilliant way to travel if you live in or around Bournemouth...A real 5* firm !

A really pleasant package tour operator - they are small enough to still give what feels like a tailor made service but without the horrendous costs. They offer a range of European locations and after using Palmair to holiday in Malta we would use them again.

I have used Palmair many times over the years. I found them excellent in all respects. A very friendly company to book with. An 'orderly' boarding procedure works well. The included meals were good, the aircraft clean and comfortable. My only concern is the continued use of the Boeing 737-200 series aircraft which is getting 'long in the tooth'. Most nations have dispensed with this type series I understand. Not withstanding the high standard of maintenance carried out here in UK, I now select companies using more modern aircraft or later NG series Boeings.

Just excellent!
