chilled or too chilled?

Advantages: Good crew, food and free champagne in economy
Disadvantages: no seat back tv's

I flew with Air Jamaica(JM) to Montego bay airport (sangster) last year and i wasn't very impressed with the aircraft itself or the way they took on so much luggage! To start off with, the check in staff seemed to allow all the passengers to check in over their allowance. Even though they did charge them it seemed the majority of passengers were taking at leat two even three bags more than most normally would and i'm certain the total the aircraft ...
...Check in and Boarding: Air Jamaica fly from Heathrow and check was actually relatively smooth with very little queues considering the above! The staff were friendly enough and after check in we made our way through security and into the waiting lounge - the flight was due to leave on time but we did depart about 15 minutes late - not a major problem and think this most mostly due to traffice anyway. Inflight service: I didn't purchase any duty ...

Review of Air Jamaica - AJM

GROWING GOOD AIRLINE

Advantages: Not expensive, attentive staff (ground and flight), good food
Disadvantages: Few European destinations - connections are needed.

VASP is of the oldest airliner inside Brazil. Lately, is trying to reach out to North America and Europe. Unfortunately, the best destinations are taken by another Brazilian Airline VARIG which over grew, half-merged with others, and is NOW giving a bad and expensive service. VASP, on the other hand is trying hard. Therefore, it offers lower prices, good service on ground and on air, excellent food and attentive board personnel. I would never fly ...

Review of Latin America & Caribbean - VASP

Bye bye Mr. O'Leary.

Advantages: price
Disadvantages: treat you like nothing, no customer service, not punctual

I've been flying with Ryanair for a few years now. In the beginning, I found it pretty good in terms of value for money but not anymore. The more I fly with this company, the more I think the service is intolerable. My last flight was over 2.5 hours late. And on the one before that, they lost my luggage. how many mistake are they going to do? Scandalous when you know how much they charge you to check it in! At that price, how can they even justify ...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

Ryanair is not good for business

Advantages: price if you are aware that you'll be late!
Disadvantages: not good for business travelers

I flew with Ryanair from Belfast to London Stansted. The whole experience was extremely stressful. First, I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to get to the airport... Then, because Ryanair can't do things like everyone else, and has its own set of rules in terms of luggage weight, insurane, (read them over carefully before agreeing to embark on this journey), there wasn't not one moment where one could sit back and relax before his flight. From ...
...end of the bargain, which Ryanair doesn't. It's not because you offer cheap fares that you can be late for example. My flight was 45 mins late and because of that, I was late for a meeting. I'd much rather Ryanair increase its prices than be late. And I'm not even going to mention customer service, which is, to say the least, inexistent. It is impossible for me to recommend this airline to anyone who is travelling for business and I wouldn't fly ...

Jet Airways

Advantages: value
Disadvantages: No drinks round

...change over in Mumbai. Jet airways seem to have a new fleet of aircraft, all aircraft are clean and well equipped, check in is effortless and customer service at the airport is fantastic. TV in seat with large choice of movies and some games with the usual cheap headphones and two prong plug Tip:(bring an adapter and use your own headphones) One strange thing though, no drinks round. A free drink was available but only at the time of the meal. Two ...
...these guys I think the trick is to ping your call button for a drink and not wait for the trolly but I didn’t see anyone doing this. Do take some snacks on board. Curry for breakfast shocked a few people onboard. Overall though I would use Jet airways again. ...
