No entertainment system for a long flight (9+ hours), Checked baggage wasn't properly ticket as priority (due to loyalty status I have with the company). Flight wasn't operated by Azul, but by HiFly, in a very old and not updated Airbus

It was decent. I was sitting in the very back row of the aircraft, so it is difficult to gauge overall comfort from a notoriously undesirable seat in any aircraft.

Terrible Flight cancelled Long wait for replacement Lost my paid for priority seating Food options abysmal quality Uncomfortable seats

I have my tickets bought since June 2024 with extra space sits. Azul sends us emails every time to change flights. I was in vacation I naively did not think it would bring me any harm. Further, I am Diamond Client (Top fidelity club rank). During checking in this flight, I did not have the extra space, nor multimedia set (this does not affect me, I really do not care, I prefer to watch my own videos). My complaints have not being considered by the attendant, which said she was not from Azul and could not do anything and the she really did not care. She also said I should respect the other passengers. I have bought my tickets 6 months earlier, I had bought extra space, I switched flights thinking Azul was fair enough to keep my ticket settings, I am on the top of the fidelity class and I still have to listen to moral lessons of an attendant which does not even work for Azul. When an Azul employee came (the only information I have is her name is Chris) she validated the other company attendant. I have complained to Azul and still wait for an answer, but they keep calling me to renew my fidelity club, which unfortunately I already did days before my check in. Azul should pay more attention to proposals of switching flights (downgrading setting acquired in advance) and train better their employees and the employees of their associates. I have always had Azul as a top flighting company, after that experience I have changed my perception (and I won´t ever by extra space sits in advance, it must be changed and eventually you will receive a voucher you will never be able to used) and don´t participate in any fidelity program (they are only concerned to your fidelity with respect to them, not the other way around, you may even listen to a moral lesson in that case).

The flight we booked that left at 10 am was canceled without explanation at 4 am the flight they moved us to was 9 hours later.

The flight was supposed to be on a Airbus A330 Neo and it wasn’t. The airplane was pretty old, none of the entertainment screens was working.

The flight from CNF to VCP was delayed and I had to rush to catch the next plane. It was strange, since the boarding in CNF was done in due time.

Azul has become the new Avianca and Copa, they are using Airbus with very uncomfortable seats, no more Azul

On time. Nice crew, clean plane and a small snack

During boarding the company said that the plane didn’t have enough space and required to dispatch any luggage. But in reality the plane was with a lot of luggage space in the overhead bins. So it just took a lot of additional al time, specially considering that it took around 30m for the luggage to arrive in the retrieval belt in the airport.

I have a hand injury and the flight attendant denied to help me with luggage, she said "she couldn't help me because I should manage my own way to put the luggage on the plane" SO RUDE

I had two around 6 hours flight and they did not even offer water to us.

Overall it was good. The food was not great quality and seats were very uncomfortable. But overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.

We flew with Avianca, some how they are not n sync, making the process a bit uncomfortable.

Unfortunately it was very disappointed experience. Our first flight our was delayed 2 hours, as a consequence we missed our connecting international flight. Customer server at Miami American Airlines was very disrespectful, gave us the worst replace itenarary for the next day that we had to spend 2 hours calling Gol to get a better itinerary otherwise we wouldn't make it on time to fulfill our trip purpose. We would have missed the reason to travel all the way to Brazil if we didn't change for a better itinerary. The worst thing is that our baggage was missing for 4 days. We had no cloths for all this time, plus the aggravation to locate our baggage. Nobody knew where our baggage was. We ended up picking it up at the airport when they said that they will bring them home. Unfortunately our experience was very dissatisfied.

Flight on time, check in and flight attendants courteous and helpful. Smaller plane for international flights, tight space, no comfortable.

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.

I did not like the way that baggage fees were charged. When I signed up for the flight, I knew that there were bag fees. However, the bag fees were so confusing that it felt like I was paying for overweight bags rather than just for having brought a bag with me. Also, the bag fees were based on the pair of tickets rather than per person. It seems to me that it should be first bag fee for passenger 1 and then first bag fee for passenger 2. I eventually got away with only paying $100 for two bags, but it was a struggle to understand the process. As for the flight, the seats were the standard uncomfortable seats that are on most Boeing aircraft. The airline aims to accommodate the standard height people, so us tall people are stuck. There was never an option to upgrade for leg room. It did not appear that there were any seats on the whole plane that had a little more leg room to even try to get. Other than that, I completely ignored the food for this red eye flight. I am not one to eat "dinner" at 2 am. They did not offer any drinks in the morning before landing. I recommend that you bring a bottle of water on board.

Lost luggage, people are not very nice to help you , I was just instructed to fill out a baggage claim online, they were not helpful when I had additional questions after I completed the form on my phone.

They are not ready for international flights, poor service and food, no screen info on the seat.
