The Best Mountain Flight In The World? Probably

Advantages: Stunning view of Everest, all window seats, personal service
Disadvantages: No hot coffee!

...Yeti Airways, Gurkha Air and Buddha Air. Most of these also operate scheduled domestic flights and Cosmic Air have international flights too. I stopped into a travel agency, the day before I was going to do the unthinkable and rise before the sun, and told them of my plan. They recommended Buddha Air for reliability and because of the aircraft they use which have just one seat each side of the aisle, meaning that everyone has a window seat. This ...
...of Yeti Airways and my Buddha Air flight. However, 06.30 came and went, so did 07.00. There were no announcements. However, one of the regular domestic flights did depart and a few of us asked about the mountain flight. He told us that it was delayed because of the weather and they would let us know soon. Around 07.15 another Buddha Air flight was called but it turned out to be one of the scheduled domestic flights. However, I asked the Gate Agent ...

Review of Buddha Air

Is that a yak or a yeti?

Advantages: Clean and Tidy plane, full hot meal, useful magazine
Disadvantages: Old planes, older cabin crew

...visit. "I'm arriving on Royal Nepal Airlines, in the evening," I replied. "Oh." I could almost hear the bewilderment. "Er... why don't you take another airline the next morning?" I found out that Royal Nepal Airlines have a reputation for being, shall we say, less than punctual. I wondered why. (ring ring) sang my phone two days before my flight. "Mr V? I've been told that Royal Nepal flight has been rescheduled from 7.15pm to 8.40pm. And the flight ...
...my flight. "Mr V, Royal Nepal Airlines have called to say that the flight is now leaving at 7.40." I decided to play it safe and teach my phone to ring, not sing, and then to check in on time - not quite a first for me, but a rarity. After all, if the worst came to the worst, then I could get into the lounge and have a drink or two. CHECK IN I duly arrived ninety minutes before the flight and loitered around at check in. There were three or four ...

Review of Royal Nepal Airlines

Monarch Airlines have my custom again

Advantages: Friendly staff, reliable, value for money
Disadvantages: drinks too expensive and limited legroom

...for the first time with Monarch Airlines on 22nd December for a Christmas getaway to visit family. During the time of travel the country had very poor weather conditions (snow and ice) so delays and cancellations were across all UK airports and many airlines. Upon arrival at the airport I was happy to see Monarch check in staff controlling the queue which sped up the process of initial check in. I think it really makes a difference if the queue is ...
...the flight was standard to what I have seen before, selling perfumes, make-up, toys etc. I felt this was a really enjoyable flight and the staff made me feel like a valued customer as oppose to just a passenger on their airline. I would recommend Monarch to friends. ...

Etihad Airlines

Advantages: great for non jews
Disadvantages: Not good for jews

.... It would seam that Etihad Airways now have the abilaty to give Kosher statues, unfortunately for your company You do not have the ability or the authority to grant/give Kosher certification, and in the USA this is a federal offence and punished with a minimum jail term. It would seem strange that Etihad offer a vast choice in inflight catering from Halal to Vegan , but for Kosher out of Abu Dhabi non existence, strange as Rabbi Canntor out of BangCock ...

Review of Etihad Airways

NO to TAP, never again

Advantages: good food, good on air service
Disadvantages: delays, very bad on ground services, bad and wrong informations

...over Lisbon Our experience with TAP was actually pretty bad. We booked direct flights from Stockholm to Lisbon. Before that we had to come to Stockholm first from another town of Sweden and in Lisbon we changed flight again with TAP to go to Funchal. Aproximatly 1 month before the trip (when prices where already very expensive for flights to funchal) we got the information that our flight back will be led over Oslo. this ment for us, we will reach ...
...the street infront of the TAP office. So the day we traveled home, we waited there already 20minutes before the bus started...and waited ... and waited.... and waited... But no bus came. So we had to take this very expensive taxi instead. summarized, I do NOT recommend to anybody this Company!!! Its a very very bad service - at least on the ground. The service in the plane and all can be as nice as it is, the things around are just crappy. We spent ...
