Blue Islands customer review

(United Kingdom)

Guernsey to Paris return via Jersey last weekend. Outbound flights and connections went well with great cabin service including champagne lager tea coffee and good quality rolls and snacks. Return flight was disappointing. An elderly aircraft really showing its age. In fact the seats in the row in front of us were a completely different style to the rest! The air conditioning didn't work which was unfortunate on such a hot day particularly as we had to sit in the plane on the tarmac at Paris for around 25 mins. Some of the no-smoking signs didn't illuminate - not a problem but reinforced the impression of a rather shabby plane. Very cheerful cabin crew. Arrived in Jersey for our connecting flight to Guernsey only to be told it had been cancelled - it was a bank holiday Monday and apparently they never operate that flight on bank holidays and we should never have been able to book it through their website! So what should have been a one hour connection at Jersey turned into 2.5 hours. Again not a huge problem but for an airline that pitches itself as something above the norm it was a bit disappointing. Fares were good value and flight times to and from Paris were convenient (aside from the delay on the return).

BRS-JER-BRS. On time out and a delay of 45 minutes on the way back due to bad weather earlier in the day making the in-bound aircraft late. We were kept informed of progress with the delayed flight. Lounge at Jersey is a welcome change with free soft drinks coffee/tea and biscuits. The service on-board was good too. This was efficient and professional.

We flew Southampton to Jersey and return where Blue Island use 19 seat aircraft. Both flights has less than ten passengers and were on time even early. Avoid row one unless you want an excellent view of what the pilots are doing as the view outside is restricted as no windows forward of this row. The best view was from row six and with such small aircraft the views are excellent. As with all small aircraft the noise level is higher than for a large aircraft but for such a short flight it does not matter. The private lounge at Jersey was a nice way to end a short holiday. We will certainly be flying Blue Island again.

Southampton to Guernsey return great price and no additional charges. Good luggage allowance. Flight left on time good service - very impressed. Have looked at other routes that we could use Blue Islands for in the future.

I flew yesterday to and fro from Jersey to Guernsey. I was extremely impressed with the lounge reception and all is facilities. I am slightly disabled and the Stewardess was very helpful and attentive on both my journeys. Plenty of leg room on the plane and good and comfortable flight. I will certainly use them again when I can.

Staff kept us informed of any changes or delays to our flight fog was a problem and the flight was over an hour late in leaving Jersey but staff were great. I will travel them again and have no problems recommending it to others.

JER-GCI-JER-LCY. Inter-island flights on a little Jetstream. Only 10 mins each way but good fun. With the open cabin and no door to the flight deck it really gave an insight into what the flight crew do. Far from trans-continental business class that I often fly but in many ways this was a lot more enjoyable. The lounges for all passengers are a nice touch but some air con in Jersey would be good. Timetable seems to not be completely thought through for connections (eg 1hr 30 wait in Jersey for flight to LCY). Would like to see a GCI-LCY direct flight added or better connections to the JER-LCY flight so that a LCY-GCI trip can be done in a day. All in all though a very good experience that I would happily repeat.

LCY-JER-LCY in ATR-42s each way. This airline tries hard but falls short in some areas. Online check-in did not work at the advertised time (48 hours). I called customer services and the rather indifferent phone operator casually told me it was always like that. Secondly passengers should be aware of their unusual baggage allowance. The checked plus carry-on can total 20 kg. Nevertheless carry-on weight was not checked at either LCY or JER. We arrived at City Airport and couldn't find the bag-drop desk - told to use the Luxair desk. Aircraft itself was showing its age and could do with a deep clean but was comfortable. One member of cabin crew for 50 passengers and each way they were cheerful and pleasant. On the outbound morning flight a croissant with butter and jam was offered with non-alcoholic drinks. On the return evening flight there was a full bar service (even champagne) but no snacks. Blue Islands passengers can use their dedicated lounge at JER. However its based at gate 7 which is at the far end of the airport and not air conditioned. Drinks biscuits and wi-fi were good. Overall a good airline but should certainly bring their London operations more into line with their competitors.

I travel inter island JSY-GSY return twice a week. Blue Islands have made the classic mistake of forgetting their core business model. Their inter island flights are now so often delayed that a tannoy announcement that there is "a delay due to technical reasons" is now met with resigned scepticism. They have also made the mistake of outsourcing their ground crew ops to Serviceair who neither know nor care why the flight is delayed by 40 minutes [again]. Planes in the main are uncomfortable and claustrophobic groundcrew are ill informed and inter island timetable is more akin to an unscheduled series of aviation "events".

Blue Islands customer review

(United Kingdom)

Outbound (from Southampton) was very good: easy check-in we liked the Jetstream experience and the cheery professionalism of the flight crew but Jersey-Southampton was a nightmare. Firstly 13.25 flight cancelled for 'technical' reasons. When offered a refund or rebooking we accepted seats on a later flight. This was a very stupid move because the 4 hour delay turned into a 7 hr 50 mins delay. If warned our Jetstream was bound to be the last flight out of the island at 20.15 we could have used the 7 hr 50 mins delay to catch a fast ferry. Given zero customer care and a total lack of honesty there is no way I would risk another flight with Blue Islands despite the professional flight crew the convenience of their new London City route and certainly not because of their pricing policy.
