As I am a bit short of ££s this year, I flew quite a bit with FR, most recently 4 flights in last week, another 4 couple of weeks earlier.

Out of 8, one flight was late about 20 mins and one about 15 - the rest were early or on time. Out of 8, I was sitting in row 1 [and had more legroom than on any 'legacy' carrier in Y] 7 times, without paying for priority boarding.

In most of the cases they were flying to the only airport of the city I was going to - OPO, FAO, KAU, TMP etc - so didn't have any more problems with getting to/from the airport than anybody else.

I travel light [and know how to pack] and I am not bothered about missing a sandwich on 1-2-3 hrs flight. I do bring a bottle of water/snack with me on board.

The main reason for me to fly with them was that total cost for those eight flights was ~£50, all taxes included.
