STN to Jersey. Everything on time, check-in sluggish at both ends, but inflight service important to this airline. Free tea, coffee or soft drinks and polite cabin crew, though some announcements difficult to understand.

Gatwick - Guernsey. Showed up only slightly early for check in. Thought we were in for a shocker with the wait but luckily it was for the check in desk neighbor Viking airlines. Auringy desk (of course) had nobody there. Plane was clean. Service fantastic. Free paper was a nice touch and best airline tea.

Jersey to Guernsey the early flight. Everyone who likes to fly should fly this route. The Trislander is a real plane and you get to see it all happening from start to stop. Excellent value and a good experience all round.

Gatwick - Guernsey Return. ATR72 clean and tidy. Both legs on time. Seat pitch tight if you are tall but acceptable for 45 minute flights. Complimentary soft drink, cabin crew working fast to complete full service in tight time constraints. Overall a good regional carrier but with one irritating gripe. There is a £3 fee to choose your seat in advance, this under the current climate is not too bad. However, if you book a fully flexible ticket and subsequently change your flight although there is obviously no fee for changing your flight you will be expected to pay the £3 AGAIN if you want to choose a seat on the new flight. If you are on a flexible ticket you should really only have to pay the fee for choosing a seat once.

LGW-GCI. Very good flight, no add-ons like FlyBe etc. Good price, online check in, free drink and a new ATR72 great value.

Return trip from Guernsey to London Stansted. Check In staff helpful and polite, free 20kgs baggage allowance and on time departure. Cabin staff excellent. ATR aircraft (even the 2 new ones) are small and quite loud, but okay for a 1 hour flight time. Free drinks and newspaper on board is a lovely touch.

Gatwick to Guernsey. Couldn,t check in online as we had bags and a child which the system doesn't cater for but no queue at the Gatwick check in and the process completed in a couple of minutes. Flight on time. Free soft drinks and tea/coffee and a copy of the local paper was a nice touch. Brand new ATR72 - spotless! On arrival we waited just 5 minutes for our bags. On the return again no queue at check in, on time and comfortable. Excellent value for money.

Flew to Guernsey from Gatwick. A great start to the New Year with no security queues at Gatwick (wish it was always like that) and a great flight on Aurigny. You get a choice of free soft drinks on board including tea and coffee, but this excludes hot chocolate, so I stumped up a £1 and had a hot chocolate and a free orange juice. Smooth flight on board the ATR72, though I thought the aircraft looked a little tired. Chatting to the cabin crew I learned that Aurigny is getting two new ATR72 aircraft in March, so that should improve matters. Much the same experience coming home again that evening. All in all a good (short) trip to a wintry Guernsey, and great value for money.

London Gatwick - Guernsey and return. Smooth check-in in both directions with pre-reserved seats. Smooth flights operating on time. Seats comfortable enough for 1 hr flights. Non-alcoholic drinks provided, service efficient. Overheat lockers on the ATR72 are very narrow.

LGW-GCI. Used the new online check-in which was simple and saved a lot of time at the airport itself. Walking out to the aircraft wouldn't be fantastic on a rainy day. Flight time was just 40 minutes. The first impression of the ATR72 was that it was quite old and worn and noisy. Loads very low with 7 free rows in front of me and many behind too. Staff weren't unpleasant but I can't say they were particularly great either. Just average. Free drinks, and arrival was especially easy. We were outside the terminal at Guernsey within 5 minutes of the engines being shut down.

GCI-LGW-GCI. Flights on time both ways. Complimentary tea and coffee and soft drinks which is rather rare these days and no charge for hold baggage. Cabin crew ok but nothing special. Aircraft first generation ATR72 which are rather tatty inside and my seat was covered in crumbs on the return flight, rather noisy and a lot of vibration compared to jets and newer turboprops. I believe Aurigny are purchasing 2 new ATR72-500 which should be an improvement, they certainly need to update the fleet. Reasonable fares as long as you can book well in advance otherwise the price is extortionate.

GCI-MAN on ATR 72. Flight 20 minutes delayed due to late inbound (25 mins), but we were kept informed. Watching ground staff from the departure lounge one could see a very focussed and motivated group working together to reduce the delay. This is how it should be done, but maybe it is easier for a small airline.

Southampton - Alderney. Pilot just rolls up switches on, and off we go for a great real flying experience. Superb flight on Trislander, each row of seats has its own door, and seats are comfortable enough. Great flight on a clear day, flew over Southampton, and Isle Of Wight, straight down over a sparkling sea to Alderney. No catering or ife, as it is too noisy and no aisle so unable to hand out drinks etc. If you want to experience real flying in a propellor aircraft, an aircraft built like a brick wotsit, and flown by super experienced pilots, you must try this short hop.

Bristol - Guernsey return. Wonderful Flights, comfortable seats 2x2, enough leg room to remain comfortable for the short 55 minute approx. flights. Little delay on Outward journey but nothing to cause concern or interference with the trip. Usual sea fog caused return flight to have a delay of around 1 hour 20 minutes, nothing anyone can do about natures elements, and Sunday Maintenance of the aircraft has to meet States regulations. Return flight was as comfortable as the Outward journey, staff equally friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend Aurigny to other travellers to the beautiful Channel Islands, Good to see the airline growing and modernising since the States took it over. Only downside to Air Travel between Islands as in to do day trips to different Islands via plane is the horrendous Taxes and Fuel Surcharges which made any chance of us visiting the other Islands impossible on price, which is a shame as other Islands lost out on tourist spending which is important to the economy of the Islands.

MAN-GCI-MAN.They use atr 72 on this route, certainly more comfortable than the saab 340 used previously. flight only 70 mins, catering minimal crew friendly and helpful. ticket pricing is now more realistic for the distance flown than a few years ago. all in all a good means of getting to a wonderful island.

Have used flight from Cambridge to Jersey and return for last four years. Using Shorts 360 - excellent flight each way, and punctual.

Bristol to Guernsey - a 45 minutes flight. Top marks - it could not have been better if we were royalty. Will be using again in a few weeks going back for another wonderful holiday in Guernsey.

Flew GCI-LGW 19th April with Aurigny. Very smooth check in at Guernsey followed by a comfortable flight to Gatwick. Ground and flight staff friendly and efficient. Nice 2x2 seats on ATR 72 makes for a more comfortable flight than alternative 146 aircraft and seating.
