LATAM clearly does not have well-established policies re: luggage for international flights to Lima followed by domestic flights within Peru (in my case, from Lima to Cuzco). On the way in, they forced me to pay $50 in Lima to check my second carry on bag (the three bags were included in the fare from JFK to Lima). On the return trip, they told me at check in that I would have to pay $50 again at the gate (she said they couldn't accept the money at check in) Then, at the gate, they initially told me I would have to pay several hundred dollars to check the big bag through to JFK. I protested, and showed them a print out of an email saying the checked bag was included between LIM and JFK. Than a second woman showed up, and told me I wouldn't have to pay anything at all -- which was great news, of course -- but that means I was incorrectly charged the extra $50 on the incoming flight. Basically, just a mess. Also, their website is completely non-functional -- it was very cleear that all the airport staff knew the website was nonfunctional, too.
Really bad experience – delayed for 6 hours without any notice, no food or drinks provided, and stuck in the horrible Cartagena airport.
It was a short flight, sits uncomfortable No food was provided. Staff was lovely and kind .
My experience it was okay but have many thinks to be better. For example the food, the comfort.
On time. At least they offer a drink and a small snack. Plane was clean
Airline lost my luggage and after 20 days it has not been returned nor refunded any money.
It was confusing because I got a notification that my gate was changed when in reality it wasn’t
Awful, horrible customer service. Flight got delayed and had to spend y the night in Bogota as a result. Very poor
Hostile flight attendants. Second flight with Jose so much better. Arrived 1/2 hour early. Thanks.
The flight from PDX to New York was cancelled, and I got rebooked one day later. Because of this I missed a meeting at my final destination, EZE. I now need to stay longer in Argentina, and was told the tariff difference was $780 plus $150 penalty! I am not using my return ticket, and have purchased a one way ticket EZE-PDX for $606 with another airline. SHAMEFUL
After we paid additional to sit in exit row, a passenger came in late with an act and sat in the exit row seat next to us. He did not pay the extra for the seat as his assigned seat was a middle seat the row before. And the did not do much to challenge him. That is not good business when you charge some people (us) additional but not others, right in front of us the customer. Not exactly looking after your customers like business schools show in countless case studies. Also on our connecting flight from Madrid to JFK, we witnessed the crew bring an already opened meal to woman sitting next to us. When she would not accept the meal, the server said that is all they had and she would have to eat. That is a blatant rejection of basic health codes. She could have gotten food poisoning if she ate the opened meal Both incidents are unacceptable. Next time the MN ame Air Europa comes up in airline selection, we will not be considering it
I respectfully request that Air Europa consider the delay of my baggage, the damage to my suitcase, and the missing personal belongings and other items from inside my suitcase as part of my claim
There are often trade-offs involved with flying cheaper airlines. With Air Europa, their crowd control is terrible--the line at check-in in Madrid was absolutely hideous 3 hours before departure. These 787 "Dreamliners" are cheaply-made and uncomfortable. And disembarking at JFK was horrid...it was 11 p.m., yet we were force to deal with those off-site shuttle buses, presumably because Air Europa doesn't want to pay what it costs for an actual gate. But as usual, the worst aspect of Air Europa flights are tones fellow passengers: unruly and oblivious to such concepts as personal space. The crew was, on the other hand, lovely.
The flight was long but everything went well. Crew was helpful and very attentive. Food was good and the entertainment options were many.
My long-haul flight experience with this airline was not very pleasant. Earphones were paid, and no eye mask or other amenities were provided. The meals were served in cardboard boxes with plastic cutlery. The restroom was unclean and ran out of toilet paper. However, the boarding process was smooth and well organized.
We experienced a delay of almost two hours before takeoff. For a flight of more than 10 hours, sitting on the runway for two hours is quite exhausting. The airline did nothing to attend to the passengers during that time. We were not given any courtesy drinks or snacks—only the bare minimum during the flight. The crew seemed very apologetic, but apparently they have restrictions imposed by the airline, because despite their friendliness, they provided strictly what was necessary and, of course, everything else was for sale. However, after a two-hour delay, one would expect at least complimentary beverages. In addition to this, the space between the rows of seats is inhumanely narrow. Air Europa should review this for such long flights and be a bit more considerate and humane with its customers.
No WiFi on the plane. Crew was insensitive to my medical supplies and medicine in my carry on. If the crew was monitoring passengers putting 2 bags in overhead bins there would be room. We sat for 2 hours extra. Iberojet is horrible never again.
There was no water in one of the sinks in the executive area, which is unacceptable as we could not wash our hands after using the restroom
Like I said the experience was mediocre. Nothing special about this airline.
I like Air Europa in the way you make passengers feel important, well attended the whole trip.!It was first time in your company and hope I can repeat this experience many more times!
Over 3 hours and 25 mins delay, entertainment screen froze on me for more than half the flight
they couldn’t not serve coffee or tea as the water that was boarded was not potable. the veggie food was lousy. tasted very sweet. there was a crying kid a few rows ahead. what about the difficulty caused to other passengers because the kid was crying so much. parents should know their kids better and not travel. it was a very difficult situation. would not recommend this airline next time.
It was a smooth trip, everything ok. The crew were so nice and professionals. The only thing that I didn't like was the tiny dinner table of the plane but I guess it's not the crew fault. Overall I recomend flying Iberia.
the internet connection was poor. and the change of time
Based upon our entire experience with Iberia, we will never fly the airline nor recommend the airline to anyone. The flight to LA was fine and the crew on this one flight was god, but Iberia treats its customers (us) horribly. There was not one flight on this trip that they did not treat us poorly. We were bumped, lost seats, lost luggage etc all on flights we booked over a year in advance. Not one leg with Iberia went smoothly. And now they have lost our luggage somewhere in Madrid. This is a horrible airline. A truly horrible airline. And Underpricer recommended by Kayak is horrible as well. The lesson learned is to book directly with an airline and stay away from Iberia at all costs.
All good but my bag was retained at entrance and not put under the plane. I had to wait until everybody left to get it though I had a business ticket. Bad luck but also bad planning. Thy should have unloaded my bag before letting people out.
Very cheap airline, not worth the price. And they almost lost my luggage at JFK during a direct flight. I can't believe I paid that much money for a horrible 'premium economy' flight. Just fly economy on the cheapest end; premium economy is no different. Very very poor.
Boarded in group three at Barcelona, which meant going from a gate outside onto a bus to ride across the airport to a plane waiting on the tarmac. When we arrived at the plane, crew behavior told us something was wrong. Bus driver would not let us off for almost twenty minutes, despite being crammed shoulder to shoulder. Eventually, we got onto the plane, but were then told that someone “forgot” to refuel the plane and the truck to do so had not arrived. We departed late enough that we missed our connecting train in NYC, which was the last train of the evening, so we had to stay awake all night in the passenger waiting area of Amtrak’s Penn Station, which was almost impossible to get to because the station was now closing, as it was after midnight. We had to haul four suitcases a few blocks on city streets in the rain to get to the one remaining open entrance to Penn Station. We ended up being up for 36 hours straight because someone couldn’t do their job. Never, ever again would I fly this airline.
The boarding was a nightmare. Iberia would not let me check in in advance. They then refused to issue a boarding pass in Paris and said I would get the boarding pass in Madrid. In Madrid, there was no transit desk, no help. I had to run around and find someone to issue the pass. I only had an hour and risked missing the connection. Only at the gate did Iberia tell me they were overbooked and had downgraded me. I was stressed, exhausted, almost missed the connection because of Iberia’s conduct. Unacceptable.
the flight was cancelled, then I lost the connection and my purchased chair with extra space as well.
People very helpful, food adequate, entertainment not accessed. Overnight flight, very calm, lights out completely.
My original flight was canceled. Despite the crew have helped all the passengers, the ones that were flighting straight to Bogota were the last one in the list of priority. And the case was simple to solve - just reallocate us to the next flight available and send us to the hotel. I understand the priority are the ones with layover/connection, but if the protocol for the ones going straight is the same for everyone, it was better if the crew told us since the beginning. It could have saved time for us.
It’s a new plane, but the most important detail is that the economy class seat doesn't recline—it’s completely fixed. The only one that reclines is in Comfort Class.
I like the crew who were very helpful in ensuring documents were in order and problems resolver in a timely manner. However I did not like the fact that I had to have my checked bag inspected.I was concerned I would have missed my flight. I was also trying to check in online only to realise that was not possible.
We had a quick connection in Bogota. When we landed, they waited on the tarmac for 25 minutes before they let us deplane. I told the stewardess that we had less than 15 min to get to our next international flight. She did nothing except tell us we had time to get there. We found out later that they already scheduled us for a later flight, but they didn’t say anything until we ran to our gate. The plane was still there but they wouldn’t let us board. When they changed our flight, they gave my wife and I a voucher for food that was less than $40 in value. That buys very little in the Bogota airport.. it barely paid for two fruit juice drinks. There lack of communication was very unprofessional. This will be our first and last time using Avianca.
The seats we had, did not recline and there was very little cushion. There was no entertainment module in the seat.
We do not like to board by shuttle then off the tarmac
A flawless trip, great experience. Keep up the good work!
The airline did not allow enough time for the Columbia checkpoint
Luggage lost and nowhere to be found, no response from either airline regarding my bag
