Xl Airways France?

Just booked air for this summer on this airline. The website doesn't even have an english language option. www.xl.com I guess I should ask at Flyertalk but they intimidate me. I've done a search but can find very little information.

Wondering what to expect from this airline on my non-stops from JFK to CDG. Anyone?

I did a Google search and when the website came up, right underneath the web address is a link that says - "translate this page" - when I clicked on it I go the site in English.

Google Translate

I know nothing about this airline but the planes seem to have wings

It must be like AA that also sells lots of vacation packages.

Maybe Irelands Call or Carolinian or Keith is familiar with it?

You didn't need to tell me about the extra $25. OK it's a plane. It has wings and it's going where I want to go, when I want to go there. I'm done worrying about it until time to pack my bags and worry about weight/baggage allowances because I can't find that information anywhere.

Maybe they will spoil us rotten with french food and champagne.

You have access to washer/dryer at both your locations so feel free to pack light.

Perfect. See I knew this was going to be an easy trip since my scout went out first to scope the lay of the land.

Mine comes with google translate. Then click on the box with the American Flag.

Given the record of trans-Atlantic LCC's going belly up when oil prices go up, I would be careful booking one if your flight is too far in advance, so your credit card purchase protection would not apply. Or I would book one of the better established of such LCC's.

Oh this cheapo air stuff sounds like a flight I took one time to the DR.
My brother booked me on a free flight and I flew with a plane full of
chickens. Got to sit in the cockpit and was greeted by machine gun
toting military police when I didn't show on the manifest.

Since then I only fly AA.

That sounds like a trip and a half.
