Here are some passenger opininions about GB Airways ( from airlinequality.com):
15 October 2006
LGW-TUN Club Europe. A320 - with leather seats. Onboard service was personal, alcohol offered, and breakfast very good/edible.

My Wife & I have flown GB-Air LHR-Gibraltar return for the last 5 years - economy. We have caught 1st or 2nd AM departure on these occasions and have returned via the late departure from Gib. I am slightly over 6' 2" and through 4 of those years suffered from a damaged (v. painful) spine - recently repaired. We can honestly say we have had no problems or complaints on check-in or luggage retrieval and certainly none in the air.

LGW-Dalaman return. Terraces Lounge superb, excellent Chablis wine and good nibbles. On board service very attentive, champagne flowing freely. Return journey was again faultless on board but the VIP lounge at Dalaman charges 6.50euro to enter and then one pays for any drinks/snacks. Perhaps unsurprisingly it was empty.

Beware, from 1st Sept 06 all GB Airways Manchester services will be operated under BA's "Connect" product, this means no more free food or drinks and no more Club Class option!! They have also dropped the Manchester to Malaga route from 1st Nov 06. Get ready for the complaints GB!
Have a good flight!

GB airways are a franchise partner of British Airways. The company belongs to that familly (whose name escapes me just now) that own most of Gibraltar. GB fly to mainly holiday-ish destinations. Their kit is usually second hand BA stuff. They are OK but nothing to shout about. The other way is with Royal Air Maroc, but this usually means a change of plane in Casablanca and the transit lounge in Casablanca is high on my list of places not to visit unless you have to.....

They are fine. As far as you the passenger is concerned, they are no different from flying with BA. They operate the full BA service, with modern A320 and A321 aircraft. Sit back and enjoy the flight.

They are about as good as BA, but BA is really cr@p in my books!
Still, their waitresses are much nicer looking then BA's
