    On his interview with Nicky Campbell he kept saying that Flywho was "a Christian company, with Christian values" . It was once said that patriotism was the last refuge of the rogue, now it looks as though it's Christianity!

  • Flyglobespan seem to be doing all right with there daily Glasgow - Sanford service. I wouldn't be surprised to see them flying from somewhere in England to Sanford at some point in the future.

    They are very reasonable even for their premium service.

    I booked on Flywho from Birmingham to St pete's Clearwater as I have a winter home near to Tampa. I was assured that they would fly on my chosen day of 2November. Three weeks before, my son told me that he had read on the web that Flywho would not start flying until Easter next year. I contacted them and was told that I would receive a full refund. After several telephone calls and broken promises, the money turned up in my bank account. I do not think that they are now covered by ATOL for new bookings and personally I doubt if they will ever fly!

    I booked Continental to Tampa from Birmingham via Newark. They fly 757's with one centre aisle, not too good when you go to the toilet and they are serving drinks etc as you cannot get back to your seat. They leave Birmingham at 09.00 and after a layover in Newark of about three hours, depending on arrival time, arrive in Tampa at 17.45. This makes it a long day after allowing for the early check in at Birmingham.

    The market is 'cryingout' for a Florida carrier from the Midlands on a regular basis. lets hope that it comes soon.

  • After viewing the Watchdog programme, would not touch FlyWho if they were doing ten pound flights - stick with who you know is my advice and have peace of mind.

    The Flywho website is now showing flights to both Orlando and St. Petersburg starting late march of next year. But if you click onto the question about booking protection there is still no answer.

    The Flywho website is now showing an ATOL licence (6962) belonging to a company called Go Visit Ltd. There is still no answer to the ABTA question on their FAQs.

    The Flywho website has disappeared. Does this mean the company is no longer around ?
