Going on a cruise in May. After cruise I'm flying on Flybe from BCN to EXT. Two questions..has anyone here flown on Flybe and how are they. Two: is there anything interesting in Taunton when my uncle is not driving me around

I've only flown FlyBe once and it was a few years ago. They were perfectly ok for a low cost airline - just don't expect much. Do make sure that you buy your ticket with a credit card which will refund you should they go bust.....
As to Taunton, there's not a lot interesting in Taunton itself but it's in a beautiful part of the country so if you can get outside of the town you should enjoy yourself. The other thing to do, of course, is enjoy the local scrumpy - so don't plan too much for the following morning.

Any chance that the Wurzels might be playing a gig at the time? Looking at their schedule for 2013 I think there's scope
