Hello!
Please can you tell me which one of these companies are better? For saftey and comfort.. I am a very nervous flyer and want to go with the best company.. So any recomendations would be most appreciated!

If the price was similar I would go for thomsonfly
Regarding safety they both are governed by the same rules and flying is the safest way to travel.

They are both similar priced i have found? Are they Charter or Scheduled? Which is better? I used to drive abroad as i am so terriffied! But we are going to Menorca this year and can't drive there!!
Many thanks

If I was basing this on reliabilty record I would choose Thomsons
there are discussions on both in the flight forum
I have travelled on both Thomsonfly and XL recently, and found both to be perfectly fine for what we needed. Both have leather interior which was confortable (much more than First Choice short-haul in my opinion) and the usual in-flight entertainment. I've booked to go away to Benidorm in July this year, and chose XL once again, mainly because of the price, but I also found their booking process to be very quick and efficient. Delays happen to all airlines, so i think which ever you choose you will be fine with.
It depends if you're talking short haul or long haul. For long haul, TOM wins hands down with their new cabins, its a no-brainer. Both have good safety records so that doesn't really enter the equasion. Short haul is a little more complicated and you'll get a variety of opinions based on personal experience. TOM have the better punctuality record. Personally, I'd choose TOM over XL if money doesn't come in to it. In my experience, XL can be just as, and in many circumstances, more expensive than TOM.

It is only short haul to Menorca.. I have left it so late to book now as we are going in 8 weeks that the only seats left are with Excel (with good times anyway). So think i will be booking with them today!
Many thanks
Claire
