My wife flew to LCA (a long SH, 4.5 hours) operated by EuroAtlantic airways, I asked what was it like, to quote from a txt.

I guess it was not pleasant being on a charter type aircraft with so very little legroom and of the length of this flight as well, overall including boarding time and deplaning, she was sat for about 6 hours ... *ouch*

but the main purpose I guess was to get her from A-B which it did.
