Hiya we have managed to get what seems like a good deal with this airline but have never heard of them. Has anyone else flown to Crete with them and if so was it ok?
cheers

Havent flown to Crete with them but have flown with them. They are fine standard charter airline but onboard the service is pretty good. Have been around about 3 years now. Operate Boeing 737-300 and the more modern Boeing 737-700

Flew to Venice with them last year and was the best charter flight ever. Although there is no onboard entertainment the crew were the nicest I've ever come across, the food was great, the seats were comfy and we got a champagne cocktail as we boarded.
I've never used them myself, but I've never heard any bad press about them. They have a famous pilot or two as well! They Operate Boeing 757-200, Boeing 737-300 and Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
Here's what their aircraft look like:

Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden lead singer, is a locum first officer for this airline.
A friend of mine flew to Gambia before Christmas witrh this lot and he was far from impressed. Can't comment myself but I would be more interested in talking to Bruce about the good ol' days than worrying about the flight.

The comments on that carsurvey site are the most positive I've read on such sites!
Does anyone know why they don't have inflight entertainment though?
Is it a cost thing? Seems a very strange decision particularly when they are flying new planes.

i once sent them an email asking why they didnt have any entertainment, never replied.
However im sure its just cost, however initially they did not fly long flights.

Few Boeing 737's have entertainment systems with only 148 seats onboard and largely doing short haul flights it isnt econonmical. However with the newer Boeing 737-700 able to do longer flights i imagine some airlines will install this.
Gambia is a long way on a smal;l aircraft so I guess reviews on routings like that wont be too favourably.

Gambia is done on there new B757
Am I right in thinking thier 757 has a larger than average seat pitch of 35 inches?
Gambia was originally done on the B737-700.
The Boeing 757's of astraeus do have inflight entertainment.

No the B757's dont have an increased seat pitch, i believe it is standard charter 28-30".
Just found this on the Astraeus website - knew I'd read it somewhere about all the seats on one of there 757's having extra seat pitch - six extra inches.
see http://www.flyastraeus.com/aboutastraeus/index.asp?id=17
see http://www.flyastraeus.com/aboutastraeus/index.asp?id=17
The Astraeus website quotes the 757 aircraft as having just 189 seats, which would give extra leg room. However, it all depends on who is chartering the aircraft. It doesnt take much to change the configuration.
Can confirm the Banjul flights from Bristol on Tuesdays and Fridays are still operated by the 737-700.
