What happens

Come Fly with Me is a British mockumentary television comedy series created by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Narrated by Lindsay Duncan, the series launched on 25 December 2010 on BBC One. A spoof of British documentaries Airport and Airline, the series follows the activity at a major airport and three fictional airlines: low-cost British airline 'FlyLo' (a parody of Easyjet), low-cost Irish airline 'Our Lady Air' (a parody of Ryanair and Aer Lingus), and major British airline 'Great British Air' (a parody of British Airways). Lucas and Walliams portray many of the focal airline and airport staff, as well as some passengers, whose comments and experiences are featured in one or more of the series episodes in the style of a "fly on the wall documentary".
