Pros: We Arrived over two hours early waited in the line designated for 45 minutes then told to get in a different line which was slow. Then when we got to the sweet gal at the desk she told us that we couldn’t bring a personal item on in addition to our carry on luggage. We travel a lot and have never seen that. We had to pay $250 to check our roller bags so that we could bring a purse or book bag.
Cons: We will seriously think of a different air line
Pros: Crew was very kind and professional.
Cons: The carry-on rule was a bit absurd. After being asked to combine two backpacks into one, I was informed they had reached carry-on capacity and needed to check my bag thru to Gatwick.
Pros: Fast boarding, nice crew
Cons: The flight should’ve taken 1.25 hours. Ended up arriving in Berlin 3 hours later. Seats are very crammed
Pros: The short flight?
Cons: Seriously now, the line, the attitude, the delays, the lack of information, is not "low cost". I fly some low cost companies but easyJet needs to improve. I was stranded once in London and the company never did a thing to help. Sadly, it's not worth it considering how one gets stranded with no real recourses. Try to get a refund from the company and you know what I'm talking about. Now Norwegian Express, that's another good story.
Cons: Airplane seats
Pros: We didn’t crash
Cons: Everything
Pros: Beautiful new plane, decently comfortable and spacious seats for economy. In air movie selection solid - can’t go wrong with dumb and dimber EVER
Cons: No WIFI on long flights (which likely have business travelers traveling in the middle of a business day) is a very big No-No in 2019. Especially on a brand new planes there is no excuse, the pre ordering of food on the flight is a fine idea just ensure the all interfaces to book the flight makes this VERY clear that’s required.
Pros: airplane
Cons: SERVICE. ORGANIZATION WAS AWFUL. TWO HOURS TO CHECK IN.
Pros: The comfort of the premium seats
Cons: Unable to order still water through their tablet system, it says water was unavailable , so we kept having to go up and ask staff. I mentioned it to the staff and he said I had to order it through the tablet but then I mentioned it was broken. Still he didn't have the sense to followup to see how he could rectify it. They gave us a cup at a time and didn't ask if we wanted larger portions.
Cons: Canceled
Pros: Nice new plane, on time.
Cons: I pre-paid two checked bags (one each for my husband and myself). At check in we were told I had not done this and we had to go pay at another desk in the airport and come back to the check in line, 40 euros each. I showed the agent my paperwork that showed one bag each--it was not explicit on the paper whether this was the allowance or what I had paid--and she shrugged and said "Bad information. You have to pay now and you can take it up with the airline later." This will be a pain in the neck.
Pros: We arrived safely. Bilingual staff.
Cons: The seats are worn and creek with every movement. There is very limited leg room even for someone who is short. When the person in front of you leans back it is impossible to reach your hand baggage or do anything but lay back in your seat. The landing was safe but not at all comfortable.
Cons: We had to pay for 3 pieces of luggage, including my hand luggage. It came to about $150 dollars. When i booked the flight, it did not indicate anything about this extra change so be ware of this. The flight itself was quite inexpensive.
Pros: Brand new aircraft Wider seats as normal Good selection of food
Cons: We got disembarked from the aircraft for technical reasons, then they towed the same aircraft to the next gate and off we were. Delay almost two hours.
Pros: Quick bag drop and security line at Riga airport. Quick boarding with all the larger suitcases forcibly checked in at no charge. On time departure. Seats are comfortable enough for a short flight.
Cons: (This is more of a comment on Kayak's review page than on the flight.) Haven't tried the food and there was no entertainment.
Pros: Price, new aircraft, good crew
Cons: Long layover, connecting flight was delayed over an hour without any explanation
Pros: The comfort of the premium seats
Cons: Unable to order still water through their tablet system, it says water was unavailable , so we kept having to go up and ask staff. I mentioned it to the staff and he said I had to order it through the tablet but then I mentioned it was broken. Still he didn't have the sense to followup to see how he could rectify it. They gave us a cup at a time and didn't ask if we wanted larger portions.
Cons: Unprofessional Crew, service, food
Pros: The premium seats were comfy even though not lay flat. The food was surprisingly good (salmon for dinner and meat/cheese spread for breakfast).
Cons: Service was a bit slow when you ordered off the menu from the TV screen. The movie options were pretty out of date and the selection was not as wide as you see on regular carriers. Also the plane was well kept but still showed signs of wear you would expect on a 60 year old 747 not on a newer 787.
Pros: Not much
Cons: NO leg room. I’m 6’3 Food not included Drinks not included Took 2 hrs for a flight attendent to get me headphones Food service for other passengers completely disorganized causing poor service to others Waited for 40 minutes for my suitcase.
Pros: staff were polite, helpful, and efficient
Cons: super small plane... had to climb a very narrow staircase into the plane... overhead bins couldn't accommodate much of anything... we weren't warned this in advance
Cons: We had to pay for 3 pieces of luggage, including my hand luggage. It came to about $150 dollars. When i booked the flight, it did not indicate anything about this extra change so be ware of this. The flight itself was quite inexpensive.
Pros: Modern airplane
Cons: Long delay on first flight leg Staff provided little help with transfers, made us run through airport but then decided to close the next flight anyway without the transfer passengers Next flight offered was 9 hours later, only offer was a 10EUR meal voucher - ridiculous
Pros: The helpful ground person at check-in.
Cons: This airline company looks a like person who is begging for money. First time in my life I paid for the luggage. 40 Euros!!! what for? Apparently Air Baltic has no clue about how to run a service business. Somebody has to teach them this naked reality: IN SERVICE BUSINESS YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR MAJOR MARKETING ASSETS! They don't even serve a glass of water, apparently they could not manage to integrate it in the ticket price. But they dare to get thirsty and unhappy customers on the plane. Anyways: This airline company is charging extra for luggage. And I could not see this anywhere when I was buying ticket online. If I knew I'd never buy the ticket from Airbaltic. "Not writing it clearly and visible at the time of ticket purchase" is certainly tricking and misleading us. This is a crime!
Pros: Professional appearance
Cons: Extra $ for the seat (quite absurd) and 40 Euros for a check in luggage.
Pros: Nothing much
Cons: No food served No drinks served Rude crew Entertainment system didn’t work
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Too many delays, airplane was cold
Pros: Movies were good and seats were spacious. Not much service throughout the flight.
Cons: Little service for water. Clogged toilet.
Pros: Super fast boarding, quicker flight than expected
Pros: My JetBlue connection was delayed over 6 hours and I missed this connection and had to rebook an alternative. Norwegian was helpful online chat and via phone with rebook options. Jet blue was terrible every step of the way
Cons: Any other airline from Maine!
Pros: Boarding went well and crew was nice.
Cons: The air conditioning was not working properly on the 3 hour flight which made it a bit sweaty and unfortable. The purchase of a cold beer was a must.
Pros: Quick boarding, pleasant crew
Cons: Small propeller plane with very limited room, no in-flight service,
Cons: Expensive tickets but no complimentary beverages and snacks for a 2 hour flight, overpriced snacks in the flight cafe. 3H delay!!!! with no understandable explanation in English and no explanation in Latvian from the captain - airBaltic is a Latvian airline! Other airlines use two languages - national and English
Cons: I was flying transit, but I had to go through the check-in in Paris. At the check-in they started to make problems about my carry-on luggage. I had just two flights from the United States behind me and no problems at all and suddenly I can't fly with my carry-on luggage? I didn't like the AirBaltic check-in service.
Pros: Short, convenient, direct, value for money.
Cons: Not comfortable, small plane.
