If Carlsberg operated airlines…

Binter - a proper airline
Just had the fortune to take to the skies with one airline that I actually enjoy flying with – Binter Canarias. This little island-hopper takes me back to the days when passengers weren’t considered to be a disturbance in the routines of cabin crew, a thorn in the arse of check-in staff and generally herded around like particularly dumb cattle. So why do I like them?
- They make an effort to make the (short) flight an enjoyable experience
- The cabin crew don’t treat the passengers like unwelcome gatecrashers at some insider party
- Although you’re only in the air for a short while, they still have time to hand out chocolate wafers, sweets and water
- Call me sexist but all the crew are attractive and make an effort with their appearance (unlike some other airline crews who could do with more than a bucketful of slappy
Shame they don’t do UK flights as I’m pretty darned sick of being treated with disdain by the likes of the infamous no-frills airlines. If they carry on the way they are doing, and keep winning the award… who knows, perhaps they will expand their routes and more people can see how airlines should treat their passengers… and get free chocolate wafers.
Well done Binter.
