I am by nature a worrier but this evening I will be a hundred times worse. My daughter is flying home from Edinburgh to Sumburgh in a very nasty South-Westerly gale. With Loganair/Flybe's appalling record of technical faults, delay resulting in a letter from the pilot's union "Balpa last month wrote to Loganair about the worrying condition of the planes, and there have been many technical problems resulting in delays – one in four flights in recent weeks has been 15 minutes or more late." (Shetland Times) I don't care if they are late or early (much) but I do care about flight safety and tonight is going to be horrid weather. I have this nagging fear that it will take something catastrophic to stop Flybe/Loganair from continuing to brush their safety and reliability problems under the carpet, which is very much what I feel they are doing at the moment. So my day will be spent worrying. I will drive very slowly and carefully down to the airport and then pray to all the gods that I see my beautiful daughter walk down that corridor towards me (and perhaps even her baggage). Home for Christmas. I have absolutely no faith in Flybe/Loganair at all. I pray it doesn't take something awful for something to be done and tonight is not a night to be flying around in a unreliable plane. And yes, I know the pilots dont take off if they think for one minute things are not 100%.

Has anyone any experience of taking a puppy on a Loganair flight? I am trying to arrange collecting a 12 week old puppy from Inverness in September and they tell me the hold is the only option which concerns wme with a dog so young. Anyones experiences would help please!!

Has anyone had any experience of taking a zimmer frame on Flybe? I would be in a wheelchair but my zimmer frame is a useful piece of kit as I can't master crutches (non weight bearing with spinal injury too). Any thoughts appreciated.

Does Anyone know when the next loginair sales usually takes place? Do hey usually happen twice a year?

Am I the only person who is having problems with Flybe's seat sale? Yesterday when I went on the website I could only get up February 2013, thought it might be a glitch, so left it. Went back on today, still the same. Maybe it is me or my pc, but it is really frustrating. Any ideas?

Why are flybe fights out of shetland so damn expensive at last minute.. I am trying to get away tomorrow morning and i'm being quoted £374 return (aberdeen).. Yet if i was to book 4 months in advance its £139.. Surely flybe are taking the p i s s with the prices.
