Used Virgin Express in February from Brussels to Gatwick and back to Brussels from London Stansted. It's a typical low fare airline. Normally single class, although our flites were Sabena codeshares, so the first few rows were set aside for a typical inter-European business class. In Europe, ATC is the enemy. Any connections are risky, although Brussels is a pretty good hub. Early morning flites have the best chance (assuming there is no fog), as well as flites to secondary airports (like Stansted). Service was spartan, but adequate. Aircraft interiors were really beat up.
