couple of years back (I think it was 2008) flew with their mother-company - czech airlines (CSA), excellent service, free meal, generous leg-room... then again it was b737 classics, now they use mostly a320...

should be excellent service anyway

didn't know they serve Dublin... did you get some sort of package deal? Iceland is on my must-go list but all options I found so far involve transit trough LHR or CPH etc

I've flown with CSA a good few times - no bad experiences - both scheduled and charter. They do quite a lot of charter business.

Watch out for weekend deals this time of year to Iceland, up to Christmas. Coming up to Christmas the Icelanders like coming to Dublin to shop and there are usually (or used to be) a charter flight once a week from Iceland usually arriving on a Thursday and departing on a Sunday - there used to be good weekend deals going the other way for weekend/3 day trips to Iceland.

I flew Dublin to Reykjavik a couple of years ago (well maybe 10 years ago) for the weekend on one of the return trips (on a 747 - Air Atlantique, I think, but I do remember it was ex-Iberia as they couldn't be bothered changing the cabin).

A320

CSA were fairly sound for a flight deck visit too.chance it

Funny actually that you say that, there is a picture on the sideboard at home of my eldest sitting in the captains seat, cap on, and at the controls of a 737. Now that I come to think of it that was on CSA charter flight to Greece a couple of years ago! Flight was delayed a little so they made an announcemnt to feel free to visit the cockpit.
