We had flown with Span Air once before, but not with this airline.

...We had flown with Span Air once before, but not with this airline. We drove to our local airport at Exeter…approximately 20 miles from our house. Near the check in, was the arrivals screen, and our plane was expected to land 18 minutes later than it was due.
Take off time was supposed to be 12 noon, but it was almost that time before we were called to the gate. Then after waiting at the gate for about 15 minutes, we boarded the plane. We were greeted ... ...the engines. AIR EUROPA INFO. The passenger airline “Air España” was founded in 1984, and in 1985, the name Air Europa was established.

Air Europa
I have just returned form Alicante on a flight operated by Air Europa. Air Europa are a Spanish Airline that operate from various airports providing direct flights to various airports in Spain. My flight was between Aberdeen and Alicante, and, as I have never flown with them before, here is my review of their service.
Check in
This is a bit of a grey area for me as I am not sure whether the check in staff at Aberdeen actually worked ... ...whether this was Airtours or Air Europa as the reps from both companies blamed the other!
Flight, service and food
The flight to Alicante from Aberdeen lasts just over three hours. The plane was similar to those operated by Easyjet and was clean and tidy with a nice greeting from the Spanish in-flight staff.
The seating was all allocated but there was limited leg room. The in-flight staff were all Spanish, were polite and spoke good English. However, ...

Advantages: cheap, no food smells Disadvantages: not cheerful, no food
I had never heard of Air Europa until I found a cheap flight advertised on e-bookers that fitted in perfectly with my requirements of a 4 night stay in Majorca.
The flights were very cheap £140 return for 3 people.
The flight out 19.35
The flight home 20.35
Though next day flights were over £200 (though still a bargain compared with BA (£455) and Easyjet (£300)
These were a lot better times than can generally get with package flights but did ... ...of travelling to Spain, then Air Europa definately provide that. But customer care is very low, though saying that as it was only a 2 hour flight I was looking more for reliablitiy than comfort!
It is worth checking regularly on expedia and e-bookers as prices seem to change almost daily.
By all means travel with these but dont expect any frills or smiles! ...

...weeks ago and it was Air Europa who we flew with, I wasn't expecting it as we had booked an Airtours holiday. I didn't think they were as good as Airtours for the following reasons- The two Airhostesses did speak english quite well, but did'nt smile at all, looked really bored and chewed gum!. The food was very poor .plus there was no film to watch on a 4 1/2 hour flight. They told people off for laughing and joking too loudly!.I felt that they were ...

Advantages: comfortable for the price Disadvantages: stops for refuelling
Having travelled with Air Europa 3 times I felt that this airline delivers pretty good customer service after my recent flight with an English Airline!!!!
There is enough room in the seats - not as crammed as one I could mention! - and the stewardess always look very well groomed and professional. I have had a slight comment on my last opinion of another Airline for saying that the uniforms and the turnout of the stewardess wasn't great - but sorry ... ...with them again. With Air Europa I've always found that they wear very smart uniforms and will wear hats and gloves when seeing passengers on and off the plane - not a necessity I know - but it looks professional and gives a good company image.
The plane itself was clean and tidy and the flight was well organised. Sweets are handed out at the take off and landing of all flights. Food was served before the movie was shown so that people could settle ...

Advantages: Value for money, Book at short notice, wide seats Disadvantages: Punctuality, on board amenities
...alcohol related!) my dad managed to get the wrong return flight times in his head. The holiday had been booked through Thompson Platinum and as a half board package tour, almost everything is included in the price from accommodation, flights, transfers, food, some drink, hotel entertainment etc. But as a package tour, you’re pretty sure you are going to a popular destination which means that if anything should go wrong then it is very likely that the hotel will be waiting for their next guests and this is precisely what happened to them.
As soon as they had realised that they had missed their flight, that was it, there was only one flight that day with Thompson’s chartered airline, AirEuropa between Tenerife and Stansted and the hotel was fully booked.
I got a call at 10am on the Friday morning telling me they’d missed the flights...

Advantages: Handy if you're local, tiny so easy to find your way around Disadvantages: No decent facilities, iffy staff
...’d let them mess up my packing and crease the covers on my brand new books, I was free to go back to the airside departure lounges. Now for the interesting bit : at check in we were told not to have a ton of goods in our hand luggage, one of which was tweezers. Mine were in my pocket as I’d grabbed them at the last minute before we left the house. Despite two trips through the walkthrough metal detector, they weren’t picked up, and I safely carried them all the way to the Canaries. It’s all very well asking people not to take certain things with them, but since when did people pay attention to polite requests? Because if someone has asked the September 11th hijackers if they had anything sharp and dangerous on their bodies, they’d definitely have handed everything over, right? Perhaps not.

~*~TRAVELLING~*~
Planes leave for Tenerife from all UK airports. We flew from Newcastle with AirEuropa. Out flights were 10.35 pm leaving the UK, but we left Newcastle at 10.10pm (the first flight I've ever been early to arrive at my destination on) and arrived at 2.20am, instead of the estimated 3.30am. The flight wasn't too bad, despite not paying for in flight meals, we all received them. Although there were no vegetarian options, or actually any other option at all. Both going and coming back the meals were pretty much the same, horrible pasta with chicken and tomato sauce, portion of carrot and cabbage (salad), bread roll, piece of cake and a cup for your tea...

I stayed at the Europa Hotel for five nights in August of 2007 with two others. Here is a summary of our experience:
1. The location of the hotel cannot be faulted - a bus stop, children's playground, supermarket and a host of eateries and bars are... more
