Kam Air

26 December 2009 Dave Stanley

Dubai-Kabul-Dubai. The price of tickets is very high. It costs more to get to Kabul than to the UK from Dubai. Kam Air were OK on this trip. It was a MD-82 both ways and were were almost on time. The only problem was the return because of some stupid security procedures in the airport. They apologised for that, though it was not their fault. Neither flight was full, so was able to get a row to myself, which helps. Kam Air, along with Safi, is still the best way to get to Kabul from Dubai.

FlyLAL - Lithuanian Airlines

21 December 2009 Guest

AMS - VNO in Business. Small fleet of 737's, but row 1 A/C has exceptional legroom as there is no cloaks cupboard. Operated as a code share with KLM on this route. Choice of Orange Juice or Champagne pre take off, printed drinks menu then a hot meal service, salad, beef with pasta and veg, choice of bread, chocolate mouse desert, choice of wine. Hot drinks plus choice of more alcoholic drinks if required. Staff very courteous. On board magazine had interesting articles about Lithuanian history, and changes since Independence. Vilnius airport is in process of enlargement but immigration was efficient.

SA Express

15 December 2009 M Preston

CPT-JNB-CPT economy. I booked 3 days before departure for a quick return trip. I would have travelled SAA in preference to the other carriers, but after booking I compared prices between SAA and the four other domestic carriers, and comparing similar timings, SAA was the least expensive (ZAR 1565), admittedly not by much, but so much for 'low cost' carriers. When I saw the long check in queues for the other carriers at CTIA I was even happier to have booked SAA, simply drew my boarding card after checking in online and sauntered to the boarding gate. Flights were punctual, lots of information from the flight deck, cabin crew attentive and friendly, modern clean aircraft, and decent seat pitch.

Air Kyrgyzstan

09 December 2009 Guest

Return journey from Bishkek to Osh. This has to be one of the world's most spectacular flights over the mountains between Kyrgyzstan's two main cities. The flight experience was OK with an old Antonov turboprop on the outward leg and a Tu134 on the return. Both were on time and with clean aircraft, although certainly not the newest. The airport check-in at Osh was a bit relaxed in procedure and chaotic, but did the job for the small number of passengers. I'd fly with them again on this route.

Bellview Airlines

28 November 2009 Rebecca Star

I was recommended to fly with Bellview. The rates are quite good compared to Virgin Nigeria, British Airways etc. The flight out was excellent, plane was empty and it was a night flight so slept over the seats and everyone had a choice of where to sit. Staff were courteous and kind. My flight home was absolutely despicable. The flight was cancelled from Lagos, we were stranded for 2 days until Bellview finally pulled their finger out and put us in a Hotel for two nights. There was a 10% pay back next time you fly with Bellview, but no one was ever given it. The manager of Bellview in Lagos did not know what she was doing. In Lagos airport the staff of Bellview were unfriendly and very unwelcoming and rude. Finally we boarded flight B3282 on the Tuesday two days after it was meant to be. After this, and still no compensation I can say I will never ever fly with Bellview again. They are unreliable, unprofessional and provide a very bad service. I would rather pay more to fly Virgin Atlantic or British Airways as they are reliable.

Jazeera Airways

14 November 2009 Guest

DXB-KWI-SAW (Istanbul Sabiha Goken Airport) return. For a low cost airline, I was impressed with the online booking system, inflight comfort (leather seats, good legroom, free IFE (bring your own headset or buy one on board) and connecting flight service. The shows/movies were a mix of Arabic and English, as was the audio channels (x2 English only). All flights left and arrived on time. The area I found a bit inconsistent was the cabin crew. On some flights, the crew were attentive and knew what they were doing. By contrast on other sectors, the cabin crew had an "I don't know" attitude. Of particular concern was on the flight out of SAW whereby the safety demonstration was still being played on the IFE as the plane took off! Can't blame the pilots here, but begs the question as to what an Earth the cabin crew were doing! For a young airline, they have an excellent product but need to make their service a bit more consistent. The product comfort in terms of seats and IFE are amongst the best I've seen on any narrow body aircraft and provided they keep the prices low, I'd highly recommend them.

Braathens Regional Aviation

12 November 2009 Guest

UME-BMA, economy. This little Swedish airline brings back what flying used to be in the good old days. The flight was an 1 hour short hop between Umea (a small city up north) and Bromma (a tiny, central airport of Stockholm), in an Avro RJ. Plane was clean, and flight attendants nice - free newspapers (Aftonbladet and some in-flight magazine), followed by a coffee service, a free meal (sandwich, fresh orange juice and chocolate cake)! Before landing, we were given hot towels and sweets.

Kish Air

07 November 2009 Guest

I have to travel with this company every month. Generally it seems that security is at low priority. Old shabby planes, sometimes with defect seats, defect or missing safety belts and during the safety brief they speak about the safety folder in the pocket in front of me - but there is nothing in that pocket Every |Iranian has to use their cellphone during take-off and landing and the crew don't do anything.

Air Mandalay

04 November 2009 Guest

Pleasant flight from MDL-RGN touching down in HEH. Aircraft not full but comfortable enough even if it had been. Open seating could have been a problem if the plane had been full. Flight early into RGN. 0820 departure almost bearable!! Flying internally in Myanmar is actually a rather pleasant experience. Again the image perception given to us by the tv media!

Eurofly

01 November 2009 Guest

JFK-FCO and FCO-JFK in economy. On both legs of the trip, check-in/gate staff and FAs were attentive and courteous. They offered to block an extra seat so my four-year old daughter could have extra space to sleep. While the food was average, the amount was certainly adequate. The FAs made frequent rounds with drinks and they served a light snack before landing. On the trip from FCO-JFK, the gate staff promptly preboarded an elderly disabled woman and families with children (including ours). My only concern is that the planes are beginning to show signs of wear, particularly the condition of the seats and the IFE system. However, after numerous unpleasant experiences with Delta on flights from New York to Italy, namely the rude, disgruntled and unresponsive staff and the filthy cabins, I have decided to stick with Eurofly. The pleasant attitude of the staff is the deciding factor.

Aigle Azur

01 November 2009 M Fadjar

I did some flights with Aigle Azur on Paris - Hassi Messaoud route (Algeria, for those who are not familiar). This flight has only one type of customer: oil & gas people. I have found the service as fair overall, crew friendliness and meals are actually in good category (crew friendlier then Air France). It's a pity Aigle Azur does not have baggage transfer handling agreement at CDG, which means that each time we transit at CDG to / from other airlines, we need to go through the immigration to recover our luggage, no automatic transfer between Aigle Azur and other airlines at CDG (leading to LOSS of luggage at CDG for those not in the know, such as in my case). I hope they could one day operate inside Algeria (the company owner is Algerian - French), since with the local monopoly by Air Algerie, the service is non existent.

Spanair

28 October 2009 Guest

MUC-BCN. Boarding was delayed by about 20 mins for some unknown reason, and Spanair were not about to provide the answer. No apologies were made whatsoever about the fact that we left Munich and landed in Barcelona late, both the cabin crew and the pilots merely ignored the fact. Seat pitch was incredibly tight - never seen so many seats in an A320. Thankfully the passenger in front did not recline their seat. A light lunch consisting of a small sandwich served in an unnecessarily wasteful plastic lunchbox was accompanied by a miniature cup of tea, no refills, and a choice of non- alcoholic beverage. A small sweet encouraging you to upgrade to a higher fare class (mine said "business") was given to each passenger just before landing. The baggage arrived promptly in BCN. For a short flight it was bearable.

Eurocypria Airlines

27 October 2009 Guest

LGW-LCA on Eurocypria as part of our holiday to Cyprus. Outbound we were delayed 22 hours due to a technical fault with the aircraft's pa system. Very badly handled by the company as they kept feeding us poor marooned passengers incorrect information, hiding behind the handling company Swissport. We were held at the departure gate for four hours, in the middle of the night, until they decided the plane was not going to fly. They used many excuses to dodge the fact that replacement parts did not turn up from Cyprus or Heathrow as first led to believe. Anyone would have thought that this was a special plane but it was no more than a common B737, surely they could have done a deal with another airline for the replacement parts? The outbound flight, for me, was a painful experience as I had to endure the 'I'm on holiday so I'm going to recline the seat fully' person in front of me, making the poor legroom even worse! Having endured the ordeal outbound we did not have much hope for the return journey. Needless to say everything was on time & as a bonus we were the last to check in so we got extra legroom seats for free, small compensation for losing a day of our holiday!

Batavia Air

26 October 2009 Guest

Jakarta CGK to Manado MDC and return. Shiny new A319 aircraft was spotlessly clean with reasonable seat pitch for a 3 hour domestic run. Good to see local airlines updating fleet after years of elderly 737's. Check-in staff and cabin crew all friendly and efficient - plenty of in flight info and extra tea and coffee offered after meal service. Food was disappointing, however, with a savoury snack and small pastry insufficient for 3 hour flight. The first-world flying experience in a new plane contrasted with distinctly third-world baggage reclaim at both ends, with painfully slow service and pesky taxi touts.

Dubrovnik Airline

18 October 2009 C Burke

Dublin to Dubrovnik. The cabin crew was friendly and able to cater for passengers requests. Dubrovnik prove that even in the current economic climate it is still possible to offer that little extra (complementary tea and coffee and croatian brandy) to make your journey more enjoyable. There was a short delay but this was explained and apologised for.

USA 3000 Airlines

16 October 2009 John Giardiniere

My wife and I just returned from Florida. I need to comment on the policy for seat assignments. On our flight down to Florida, we were the first in line when the assignments were made. On our return flight, we were the FIRST in line, also. We were assigned rows 23 and 24. On our flight to Florida, we were assigned Rows 16 and 17. We were with my daughter and son-in-law. The ladies that were in charge told us they were saving seats all the way across for families. I find this extremely upsetting. The "families" were not there when we were. I definitely think this is grossly unfair! This was supposed to be first come - first served. I am upset about this unfair treatment.

Valuair

13 October 2009 G Lazaro

Denpasar Bali to Singapore last week. The airline is basically Jetstar under a different brand name. Check-in was pretty easy at Bali. The flight arrived on time and arrived a few minutes early. It's basically a lower-cost airline, though with assigned seating, which is in contrast to Air Asia. The Singaporean crew was helpful enough for the just under 3-hour flight, though with the seats, they do squeeze you in. I didn't bother buying any of the snacks they offered. There is no entertainment onboard, but since you're flying into Singapore at half past midnight, a nap is probably better anyway. Overall, a decent experience that I'd be willing to do again in the future.

Blue1

09 October 2009 Matt Ray

Helsinki to Warsaw. Nice planes, company has sort of a young, energetic vibe to it and they seem upbeat, which is nice to see in these days on downtrodden, world weary flight attendants and gate agents. They are a little nickel and dimey on cabin service with any drink, but then who isn't these days I guess.

Regional Express

07 October 2009 M Hood

Sydney to Albury , Staff at Check-in genuine, warm and inviting. On time departure on small and very full plane, no room for much baggage. Just over an hour flying time . One crew operation and I was looking forward to a bubbly friendly crew member however this Hostess was abrubt and rude. Most of the short flight she stood in the flightdeck with door wide open talking with the flight crew. A little girl sitting opposite me travelling alone ( 6yr old ) pressed the call light 3times to no avail of the hostess. This was my first experience with REX and maybe I should try again as most comments posted here are positive.

PrivatAir

07 October 2009 René van Zijl

Had flights between Dusseldorf and Newark recently in Airbus 319. In a way I like the concept of having a limited number of paasengers, 48 in my case. The service is adequate and so is the food and the wine. Not good are the seats with a sliding down effect. Why not directly horizontally, a trend that cannot be avoided! The IFE is a personal DVD player, which is quite unpractical. An integrated system into the seat would have been much better, as there is hardly room to place the device and the extra cables are a pain in the neck. The movies on the way to Newark were the same as on the way back. A Swiss lack of fantasy I presume. All in all I give them three stars as a maximum, since seating is the most important point to me, besides flying on time!

Eastern Airways

04 October 2009 Edward Impey

Southampton to Angers (Val de Loire) return. A very fine small airline with exceptional service. No queues, no aggro, no messing about paying for luggage and fast track. Flights on time and personal service all the way. Travel the way it should be at the right price. I hope they can keep up the standards, and the niche routes which are so important to some of us. The champagne is a lovely touch, especially when i dont have to drive the other end! The hostess on my flights deserved special mention, she was quite simply the best I have never had the pleasure of being looked after by. I am happy to pay an extra Ј50 for the exceptional convenience and stunning reliability. I shall be disapointed by flybe and easyjet from now on!

Tianjin Airlines

27 September 2009 Guest

I'm a frequent flyer within mainland China - and this airline offers by far the worst quality I've ever met. I've been on GS three times within the last two months, and if there's an alternative this number will not increase. Flights delayed by one hour, 6,5 hours and again one hour "due to airline" (announcement at Xi'an Xianyang airport); no information about flight schedule (delay is one thing, but other airlines are at least able to tell you when your flight is expected so you don't have to wait at the gate all the time); a small bottle of water as only on-board snack (they couldn't even afford that bag of peanuts?) while you smell of the warm dinner served at the business class seats in front of you (of course no curtain, they just stop serving from row 4). And I wonder how they got my seat so dirty without any food being served.

Paramount Airways

Travelled six times between Chennai-Coimbatore and found Paramount to offer a world of difference. They offer four course meals - food piping hot and delicious. Aircraft was an Embraer, with business class configuration. We found the seats very comfortable.

Onur Air

14 September 2009 M McCarthy

Dublin to Izmir Turkey, 4 hour flight, no food on board, not even sandwiches. I asked for a can of coke and was told there was none. I asked a second flight attendant and was told the same. Ihad to ask 3 attendants before I got my coke - very annoying. We were assigned seats that didn't recline , the ones in front of us did, so we had seats stuck in our faces for the entire flight. I flew back return today and same thing no food available to buy. I should include that the flights were not delayed by much. The staff were friendly but at the end of the day, a 4 hour flight should have some sandwiches available. I heard some people got some sandwiches at the start of the flight but none left by the time the attendant got to our seats.

Air Caraibes

02 September 2009 Guest

We just had the most miserable experience with Air Caraibes and will never fly them again. On the trip from St. Maarten to Gaudeloupe via St. Barths, they flew is to St. Barths then upon arrival we were told we had to return to St. Martin (Grande Case) and fly to Guadeloupe. No instructions as to how to make the transfer. On our flight from Guadeloupe to St. Barths, we were flown first to St. Maarten again, with no indication that we were not going directly to St. Barths until we boarded the plane. Then waited 3 hours in St. Maarten with no advice from the gate agents who would not even answer questions, before being rushed onto a WinAir flight to St. Barths with 10 minutes notice.

OpenSkies

31 August 2009 Guest

Amsterdam-JFK in Business. Extremely good value for money and by far the best experience on any of the North Atlantic carriers out of Amsterdam. Great seat, wonderful food and friendly service. Only negative might be that OpenSkies tries to do her best to be and presents herself different. We looked into the Premium Class as well and the seat over there are excellent as well. Naturally can’t judge on the food and service here.

Mandala Airlines

30 August 2009 Guest

Denpasar-Yogyakarta-Denpasar. Booked one week ahead and got a good rate. DPS-JOG early morning, new Airbus A319, take-off and landing ahead of schedule, full cabin and service good by a smart cabin crew. Return flight JOG-DPS late in the evening with 1 hr delay, full cabin again and the cabin crew great disappointment this time: giggling and laughing teens that clearly lacked professionalism. All in all very good value plus reasonable prices for food & drinks with a brand new A319 on this sector, but some members of the cabin crew need more training to become professional. Didn´t feel safe to fly with giggling teens who easily tarnish the promising image of the New Mandala.

The first time we have used Croatia Airlines and found them very good. Flights were on time. On boarding met by smiling staff who seemed genuine. After take off promptly served wine or soft drinks and a meal which of a good standard. All seats had plenty of legroom - comfortable and clean.

Skyservice Airlines

21 August 2009 Guest

Just completed a trip with Skyservice. Leaving Toronto to Punta Cana the crew were helpful. Coming back was the opposite. Asked for juice for my child they said everything was locked up even though we were half way home, they announced coffee and tea will be served and it never happened. They served snacks right away because the rest trip back they were to busy taking inventory they could not help the travellers. It was a late flight and no pillows were given - overall very unfriendly no smiles and the can't be bothered attitude.

Estonian Air

19 August 2009 Guest

As a regular traveller on the London/Tallin route ,travelling economy and I have always found the service reliable and the cabin crew both helpful and competent with several languages including English . Sure there are odd occasions when slip ups happen ,but when they do Estonia Air has always tried to put matters right. Leg room is certainly adequate for short haul as generally the catering is adequate if not exceptional and is comparable with other European major flag carriers.

Adria Airways

I often fly with Adria (50 flights per year). Since Adria is member of Star Alliance there are pretty good connections to the most destinations in Europe. The onboard service is good, staff quiet nice. Home base airport in Ljubljana has been upgraded and is getting more international. The business lounge is not on the level it should be - old furniture, bad food choice, dark. The 3 stars that have been given to Adria are correct.

Orient Thai Airlines

24 May 2009 Richard Jupe

I have just got home after flying with Orient Thai from Phuket. I have now flown four return journeys from Hong Kong to Phuket with Orient Thai and I have just encountered my first (and, hopefully, last), problem with the flight. Upon boarding the plane in Phuket where the temperatures are at their seasonal high, we found out that the Air Conditioning was not working. As I was one of the last on board it was not too much of a problem for me, but a family sat close to me who had a baby about four months old, were frantically fanning him with their Airplane Safety Cards (I knew those things would come in handy one day!!) The cabin crew frequently went up and down the aisles dispensing water to those who wanted it and offering apologies to everyone. We were told that the CPU was to blame and this seemed to placate most passengers. Once we were airborne the A/C came on and everyone cooled down. The food was palatable considering this is a budget airline and the crew were polite and helpful throughout the flight. Orient Thai help me fly direct to Phuket and back instead of having to go via Bangkok on my return journey and the ticket is the cheapest one available. I will be flying Orient Thai again although I wish the peanuts weren't as hard as bullets!

Karthago Airlines

26 January 2009 Guest

We paid £639 for the tickets. Flight severely delayed due to mechanical (landing gear) problems. Had to wait while, as they interestingly put it, "try to find someone to come and fix the plane with a new part". Ten hours later after we were due to depart, we were finally seated on the plane. The aircraft was old and dirty. Seats ripped and broken and not affixed to the floor properly (floor screws loose). Tray tables broken on some seats. Flies in the cabin. Unhelpful staff. Vile tasting tea with no milk, tepid food. The pilots door was left open a lot thus posing a security risk. Had the most terrifying landing of my life on my return flight to London Gatwick. There was an announcement from the steward that there was a problem with the shim prop (something to do with the landing gear) and in broken english it was also announced by the steward "we should land okay". Now I really love flying but the descent was so fast my stomach was in my mouth for most of the descent and that in itself shows too fast a descent. As the plane hurtled closer towards the runway it hit the tarmac with such sheer force that everyone screamed. The aircraft sped down the runway at such a speed and didnt stop for some time. When we eventually came to a stop there was no apology from the cabin crew, noone were asked if the passengers were ok. I'll never fly Kathargo again, the airline does not care about their passengers and the planes do not feel safe. That landing has made me nervous to fly again. They need investigating.

Martinair

18 September 2008 Guest

I've been travelling quite some years in "star" class. A good alternative deal for first class. Martinair only had 12 seats the last couple of years before they decided to have a more profitable deal with about 100 "comfort" class seats and eliminate the star class altogether, every seat in that class pays $ 130 more for a round trip. That includes 3" more leg room. There would be free wine/drinks with diner (also limited). That is normal with diner on an intercontinental flight. I have not seen any airline yet without a business class on such a long distance. I think they made a big mistake, even with having only had 12 star class seats. Why not keeping the 12 star class seats (at least) again (minimum), on top of 80 of comfort class seats and keep everyone happy!

Phuket to Hong Kong in Y Class. Boarding in Phuket smooth. Airbus 320 which was only 60% full. Food and bar-service done after take-off. The crew of six were helpful and polite. Service was very good, food quality and quantity perfect for a 3,5 hour flight. Crew came by with water and juice and full bar service on request was offered. Seating with lots of legroom compared to europaen airlines. Flight landed on time in Hong Kong. No IFE on an Airbus 320, but for the short flight no problem.

Ghana International Airlines

01 August 2008 Guest

My father travelled from London to Accra on Sunday 27 July. His baggage did not arrive with him. He waited for over an hour for his bags in full view of the customer service agents. Only found out there was a problem when he approached them. He was then informed that the baggage was left behind in London and would follow on 30 July (three days later). On 30 July, we went to the airport, but no bags. Then to Ghana International Office where no senior manager would come and speak to a large group of customers whose bags hadn't arrived. We were assured the baggage would arrive on 31 July in the morning. Except later, we were told it would arrive at 4.20pm. Got to the airport to find the bags hadn't arrived, then we were given copies of a letter from Ghana International to say the bags would arrive on 2 August! I understand this is a regular occurence. Customer service is shocking. Compensation of a total of $100 was offered, which my father refused as an insult. It's his first and last flight with Ghana International. And all the customers with missing baggage say the same.

Montenegro Airlines

25 July 2008 Guest

TIV-BEG return route. The 35-40 minute flight is quick and easy and landing in TIV can be spectacular. Flight crew seem efficient and reasonably friendly, but it scarcely matters when the flight is so quick. Ditto the meal, with which I seldom bother, opting instead for juice or tea. The airline is upgrading to new Embraer jets, which is a welcome event. From Tivat, they've also just expanded to service London (LGW), in addition to Paris, but the flight times are not hugely convenient. It would be great if they could add more routes from TIV. TGD-FCO flight which leaves mid-day Friday and returns Sunday night is brilliant.

Heathrow to Luxembourg on E145 and return to London City on a new Q800. Two crew on each flight. Who obviously enjoyed their job, despite both flight being full. On each occasion, the flight was slightly delayed. But the onboard friendliness and the wonderfully tasty snacks they serve, more than made up for it. They are not cheap though.

Domodedovo Airlines

11 July 2008 J Huang

Moscow to Sakhalin - fly this airline and you will think flying economy class on another airline is like first class. The plane was 5 hours late due to mechanical problems, then we stayed onboard for about an hour on the tarmac, no drinks offered during this time.It was an 8 hour flight and the temperature on the plane was roasting. Smallest legroom I have ever seen. When reclined the seats in front crushed my leg, I had to recline my seat the couple of degrees that was available to be able to have some angle to slide my legs under the seat in front. You would have thought the water was the price of gold as they were reluctant to give any water out and was only offered half a glass of water in 8 hours. Toilets like a pig trough and were not cleaned in the 8 hours. Staff unfriendly not a smile amongst them.

LTU International Airways

06 July 2008 C Batchelor

Bangkok-Dusseldorf. I was very grateful for LTU helping me to return to Europe but the ticket was very expensive (it was apparently the "last seat"). The plane was modern A330 Airbus - 13 hours with very little IFE in Economy. But the Cabin Service was disappointing - it was just a bit borderline unfriendly. It was an efficient enough flight but let down mainly by some unfriendly, unhelpful service.

Recently travelled to LPA - booked and paid 46Euro for emergency exit seats for the leg room, got the seats ok but they have no extra leg room - standard seats. On the way back they decided to land in Tenerife and pick up more passengers so 4 hours became 6! Watch out when booking - you pay for anything and everything - so much so that the only people who get coffee are those that have paid for breakfast. When I asked if I could buy a coffee was told No!

BOM-DEL. Flight was late, eventually departing about 1:40 hrs past the scheduled departure of 1410 hrs. No information till I reached the boarding gate (I had picked up boarding card several hours before), despite providing my mobile number for SMS alerts while booking online. No explanation offered, nor apologies, even on-board, except the standard regret at touchdown. Very mediocre. That's two of two poor experiences with Go Air.

I was transiting through Damascus Airport. I had to stay for about 8 hours at that airport before going out to my final destination on Syrian Airlines. I had a business class ticket, so I approached the business class lounge to have some rest there until my departure. Astonishingly, the employee supervising the lounge told me that I can use that lounge only two hours before the flight time! When I inquired why, his answer was that these were the instructions of his Director General! From that time on, I decided never to go on board Syrianair again.

Manchester-Prague return . Outbound, no queue for check-in and staff pleasant and helpful. Walked straight through security and flight departed pretty much on time. The seats were wide enough and legroom pretty decent for a low cost airline, my only complaint was that the seats were quite short and didn't have headrests so felt a little uncomfortable (not that it really mattered on a 2 hour flight). Food fairly-priced and tasty; cabin crew polite and friendly. Bags came straight through on arrival in Prague. On the return good service from the crew but this time the seats were good - I later learned that Bmi Baby are retrofitting their whole fleet with these new seats. All in all a fantastic experience and at £80 return I can't fault them.

Marseilles - Geneva. Excellent flight and with only about a dozen passengers aboard I had almost the feeling of flying in a private plane. Leather seats and a bottle of Evian water and Foccacia bread offered complimentary were nice touches and gave a feel of luxurious travel at a reasonable price. Serving mostly deluxe holiday resorts in the western Mediterranian and exquisite cities like Venice, Florence, Geneva and Prague with small Dash aircraft certainly a niche product, but a very nice experience.
