Premium economy have nothing to do with crew because they don’t served you anything different than Eco

The aircraft knew from advance that the entertainment was not going to be available but you can not even charge your phone/tablet. Food can be a bit more generous

My trouble was also with kayak. I put in to your search engine the dates, times, cabin and amount of luggage that was needed. When arriving at the airport we were charged $280 extra. I have booked thru Kayak for years. Never have I encountered such a mistake. The entertainment was below average. The food terrible. The check in outrageously slow and the complaints continue to add up!

Great customer service both on and off the airplane. Flight was very comfortable. Thank-you!

I had booked my wife and I on AR from BUE to MIA on January 10th and secured seats 6A and 6B. When I checked in AR claimed one ticket was booked for the 10th and one for the 11th. They forced me to by a new ticket and charged me an additional $2,400.00 USD. I want a refund. Rob Austin

I tried to add checked baggage through the website; the amount was charged, but the payment was not linked to my reservation. As a result, I had to pay again at the airport and only received a refund three weeks later, thanks to my bank’s intervention. The flight was delayed, and the boarding process was poorly organized. Several boarding groups were in the same line, which made boarding very uncomfortable. The food was acceptable, but the beverage service was limited. While drinks were available at the back of the plane, it would be better to offer more beverages during the meal service. On a positive note, the cabin crew was very kind and professional, and we arrived on time according to the revised schedule.

The check in staff were so friendly and accomodating. Loved it. very rarefly you find that in other airlines.

Boarding was uncomfortable. Groups weren't boarding in an orderly fashion because everyone was taking to buses together. It was 90 degrees, but there was no air-conditioning. We left 40 minutes late without explanation. Uncomfortable!

Booked my seat several weeks before and they changed it without consulting me to sit a whole family in the row sending me 15 rows to the back side, not caring if i have a short connection or any other urgent issue. The land crew made some silly excuse of a need to balance the plane because of the few passengers of the flight. Being a priority passenger it felt really a rude and careless attention from the airline

Delayed 1 hour due to delays in feeling (storm) and slow boarding due to late start of check in given how much paperwork has to be checked these days

I really didn't like anything 😕...it was an horrible experience, the personal is rude and lower in IQ ,the food ⁉️ there was no food, and all the rest forget about it 🤮❗️....they don't know what hell they are doing......

Boarding was delayed by over 30 minutes. No announcement regarding the delay.

The pilots landing and taking off was very bad on the first flight, the second one taking off was great but landing was also rough

The check in and on the ground experience is very poor. Their online check and trip management is the worst I have ever seen and they have long lines to check in at the airport, technology is glitchy/unusable and have exorbitant baggage fees. The flight itself is fine, although the food is about what you would expect and their was no functioning entertainment for an international flight.

My experience with this flight was extremely negative and resulted in serious financial and personal consequences. The flight departed with a significant delay, which caused me to miss my international connecting flight. As a direct result of this delay — which was entirely beyond my control — I was unable to reach my final destination on time, causing me to lose a previously scheduled hair transplant surgery that had been arranged months in advance. This was not a minor inconvenience. The surgery involved: • A reserved operating room • Medical and technical staff scheduled specifically for that date • Surgical instruments prepared in advance • Strict scheduling that does not allow for easy rescheduling Due to the airline’s delay and poor handling of the situation: • I lost already paid international flight tickets • I was forced to purchase new tickets, incurring duplicate expenses • I spent over six additional hours in airports, under stressful conditions • I incurred unexpected costs for meals and transportation • I lost a medical opportunity that cannot be easily recovered, along with the emotional distress associated with it Although the airline covered one night of hotel accommodation, this did not address the real impact of the delay, nor the significant damages caused by missing a critical medical procedure. The lack of punctuality, planning, and effective solutions reflects a serious lack of responsibility toward passengers, especially when international connections and time-sensitive medical commitments are involved. I do not recommend this airline for travelers with important schedules, medical appointments, or critical connections. In my case, the delay did not merely cause inconvenience — it resulted in the loss of a surgery and substantial financial damage.

I was not able to get on the flight due to delays out of Philadelphia. I arrived in MIA at 10:30pm and there was no one at the GOL Desk. Is there any flight credit available for this flight?

the boarding staff were incredibly officious. our carry-on case was borderline within dimensions but staff were not prepared to show ANY flexibility even though many others with larger carry-on luggage were allowed to board. we were understandably furious but the staff were incredibly disrespectful. we called the supervisor who eventually agreed to look on board the plane to see if there was room for our case (one case between 2 of us) and reluctantly agreed to allow us on. The staff on board were excellent though and realized we had been treated badly and were very helpful both in finding a place for our case, some distance from our seats, and helping us to retrieve it when we landed. We are regular travelers on Gol and have Diamante status and had chosen the better Conforto + seats, so we expected better treatment from the ground staff. Also the cabins are of a size that will only fit 3 cases of normal size with a large gap of about 30cm of wasted space. If our case were deemed to be oversize, which I dispute, the extra 1cm would not have made the slightest difference.

It was really bad. Inexperienced and rude people during check-in in Miami, a small and uncomfortable airplane, and problems with the airline caused me to lose my connection flight in Brasilia. Terrible experience!

Very bad. Boarding was a caos and pick up luggage took more than an hour. There was no entertainment on board.

There is no food being served at Gol due to COVID situation. Which is understandable but still disappointed because others airlines are offering.

First of all, could be Kyak's fault he we couldn't for days check in on line via Kayak or Jet Smart. We can't get the app either. Luckily on LATAM I managed to get the WiFi and contact Jet smart via what's app. This was horrendous and the person was unhelpful to start with. But we explained and she managed to check us in as if she didn't we wouldn't have got on the flight as would've been too late to check in. At the gate they were checking everyone's bag for size. My bag was 1 cm over and they tried to charge me $255 soles to carry it on but was 225 to put it in the hold. We had to pay to put both bags in the hold adding £100 to the cost of the flight. We had to carry the bags as the jet smart sight doesn't allow us to add bags which would've cost us £13 each so £26 on booking instead of £100. Staff at the gate were rude to us and other passengers. I'm sure they were on commission to get money off passengers for the bags. The lady flight attendant was pleasant but over ruled buy this jumped up young guy when I asked if my partner could sit beside me. The plane was 1/3 full. Then he was rude most of the flight. Avoid jet smart at all costs! Worrying thing is we have a return journey with these shower of.... We have been on their site the past two days trying to add bags but site won't do anything. I think this is on purpose to get more money out of passengers. As I said avoid at all costs.

Terrible website. Does not work most of the time I tired using it to check in. Had to have someone from another country help me check in. Their customer service is the worst.

The crew was polite, the Captain specially was cool! But the onboard service was nonexistent: No entertainment, no food, no reclining seats. I know it is a low cost, but the cost of the ticket was not so low for just the transport service.

Was a good flight, no delays and good customer service.

Customer service is horrible. Our flight was at 9pm and we were at check in counter by 7pm. The crew strolls in at 7.30 without even an apology. We were suppose to get our boarding passes online but the website was not working at expected and the staff kept arguing with us saying that is not possible.

There was no entertainment but everyone just used their phones.

The app told us that carry on luggage was included but we were made to pay for it again at the check in counter, making it a very expensive flight. Not happy

I was charged 168 soles for kids stroller. We have travelled across the world and have never charged for the stroller. Horrific airlines and the staff was extremely rude. They wouldn’t let us board unless we pay the extra baggage cost. Never ever flying this airline and I would recommend the same for the others.

Avoid this airline. They are unprofessional. The captain left several passengers on ground due to covid restrictions which were never communicated. As a chilean, I am ashamed that this low level airline comes from my country. Remember this horrible brand and avoid it... Jetsmart

Flybondi cancelled an upcoming flight…Once two weeks before departure and they offered a later connection that day. Then after printing my boarding passes, they cancel the flight 10hrs before departure! I had to find a last minute flight (3x more expensive). No connecting flight same day or next day was available. I already had a hotel booked and was on my last three days of vacation, so I couldn’t wait… Never using them again

Be careful as the overbook the flights and if you don’t find space when checking in then you will be assigned on waiting list! Be careful when booking this airline

basically they offer flights, and a few days before departure date, if occupation is below XX%, lets say 80%, they cancel that fly and you have to reschedule/cancel the trip. it's their MO :(

Flight was delayed 8 hours which when talking to locals is quite common for Flybondi. Old plane but it served its purpose. Pleasant crew and ground staff. Very economy targeted airline. Would be adequate if the airline could maintain an on time schedule. Would not recommend.

Many problems to make my check in. Didn't work. I most call to call center because they blocked my reserve for changes in my flights. I hate Flybondi. All is difficult whith them

Ground and flight crew were wonderful, the flight was on time and comfortable. The price was excelente, unbeatable. Thanks

I was impressed with Flybondi. The crew at the check-in desk prioritized passengers leaving on the next flights. They were friendly and helpful and spoke English. They helped me to change my ticket to an earlier flight without imposing punitive charges. The baggage fees are extremely reasonable. I would fly them again, and recommend it.

Flight was canceled due to weather with zero rebooking help

Flight was delayed for 5 hours. Seats are not confortable and the plane feels dated

So many changes on the hour of the flight and the departure airport
