Silverjet: Newark - Luton

MH just landed in Luton and dashed off this review of her trans-Atlantic flight on Silverjet, the "low-fare" all-business class airline:

"Just arrived at Luton. Trying out Silverjet....Not bad....seats are the slightly angled biz class seats like ANA. 100 seats on a 767...newish planes, too. Service is almost like ANA, too....Ugh...but we're 40 minutes late and they locked the closet door with my coat and need to get an engineer now....useless....They make you take buses to the terminal. We got stuck on the tarmac waiting for discount jets to go by. Despite the wait, luggage was still not out. And, apparently, it could take up to 2 hours to get into London bc of an accident. Normally, it takes 1.5 hrs to central London.....hmmmmm......
The check in was good though. You walk in at Newark and somone takes your passport, you sit in a lounge while they check you in.

I booked on Thursday for a flight Sunday and paid US$2,030 vs US$6,500 on American. Virgin was more. They had a campaign going...cheaper if you were a frequent flier member of another airline....since I'm platinum executive on american, my price dropped about US$1,000."
