    My mum flew with them from Prestwick to somewhere in Spain and she was happy with them.

    I flew with Globespan from Edinburgh to Barcelona 2 years ago and they were absolutely fine - plane was a bit tacky and services were basic but it was a real saving. I would do it again. Hope this helps.

    I used them for Edinburgh - Barcelona I think... They were find - bog-standard budget airline, got me there cheaply. I'd use them again if they were the cheapest.

    I've used them twice last year and once this year so far. Going with them again in September. I think they're great. Cheap and so far reliable with great flight times. All flights have been out of Glasgow.

    We used Globespan to fly to Toronto 4 years ago, had no problems at all with them.

    Used them last 2 years from Glasgow - Geneva. Last year was shambles ended up being bused to Ediburgh which we'd driven past 2 hours earlier! Then on the flight home there was fog over Glasgow Airport, seemed to be hanging just over the run way and no where else so ended up being diverted to Edinburgh. Wouldn't of minded but our car was at Glasgow. Airport staff had gone home or were no where to be found, after an hour sitting on the plane the pilot & cabin crew off loaded the bags and we had to collect them from the tarmac. Ground staff were supposed to arrange a bus to take us to Glasgow. (but where do you get at bus at midnight on a Wednesday!!) Anyway we hung about and eventually they paid a taxi for the handfull that were left. The taxi fare was more than we paid for the flight. To be fair the crew did what they could, there were a few irate people who lost the plot a bit with the duty manager, their attitude annoyed me so god know how she felt.

    No problems this this year though and we're booked to use them again in September.
