+1. I flew with Virgin once. It is not an experience I plan to repeat. I wish I'd removed my legs and checked them, though knowing my luck Virgin would have lost them.

Agreed. Apart from the fact they land at terminal 2.

I love terminal 2 - They have really tarted it up in the last month or so as well.

Bangladesh Biman, really has to be the worst in the world, flew into heathrow with them several years ago, and they took 2 goes at landing, Pilot and co-pilot were arrested on landing, apparently they had been drinking!!!!!

Could be worse, Virgin are now doing on-board comedy performances. God preserve us.

Re: The Worst Airlines

I have to go to UK early October, haven't been for ages and avoid going if at all possible. Anyway, I see Pegasus has a really good price, I know it's via Istanbul (not Ataturk, the other one) and it goes to Stansted, actually better for me. Couple of 3 hour hops with a couple of hours break in between for QR1570 return all in seems like a good price. Bet it's a crap flight though. Anyone done it?

At least you don't have to walk a hundred million miles if you land in Terminal 2.

exactly, and you can be in the taxi within about 6 mins of landing if you have an egate.

That, a Mcdonalds, Costa and (now) a Starbucks -- what's not to like?

I flew from Qatar, don't have an egate card and it took me over 2 hours from getting off the plane to getting outside.

No taxis either, maybe I was just unlucky.

The cavet was egate. I use that terminal once a month and never had a problem.
