Fecking Fantastic Fares

I bored the drawers off Clive with my whinge-fest about our below par business class flight with Turkish Airlines. He was indifferent to my scandalised account of our barely above economy service and reminded me how much worse it can be. I’m sure we all know about the too good to be true rock-bottom fares of the bargain bucket brigands. Who hasn’t been badly stung by hidden extras and dumped in the middle of the night at an airstrip with no transport connections?

I can’t think of anyone wittier to tell the sorry tale of modern budget aviation than Fascinating Aida, a veteran satirical cabaret act that has been treading the boards on and off since 1983. Thank you to Clive for bringing this to my attention and hammering home his point. People who object to minor expletives should go no further.

  1. Brilliant video. I remember seeing Fascinating Aida live many years ago. they are very funny.

    Talking about cheap flights…and I would never even look at the sites that offer 50p flights…has anyone tried Pegasus? OK they charge extra for food..which I prefer, but baggage allowance is included in the price…a rarity these days. I’m going from Bodrum to Stansted on 21st April, returning on 22 nd May…total cost 150 pounds…pretty good!

    1. We’ve flown Pegasus. It is a no-frills airline but it was fine. Unlike Sleazyjet you get an allocated seat at check-in which cuts down the rugby scrum at the gate.
