A good airline if you're visiting Iceland

Advantages: You get a movie for only a 3 hour flight, on-demand entertainment if lucky
Disadvantages: Food isn't great, no online checkin

...the country's national airline. Icelandair has been flying in various forms since 1937. The name Icelandair has been in use since 1973. Their home airport is Keflavik airport in southwest Iceland, about 40 minutes from Reykjavik. A lot of people fly with Icelandair if they are flying to the US, as they offer one of the cheapest business class options to cross the Atlantic. That arrangement involves changing planes (or a stopover) in Iceland. Their ...
...in conclusion I'd happily recommend Icelandair if you're travelling to Iceland. I don't think I'd be using them to travel trans-Atlantic however. They are in the process of refitting some of their aircraft to have 3 classes, to include an economy plus section. If I travelled on one of these I didn't notice, but maybe they are the ones with the on-demand entertainment. They fly from London Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow in the UK <review also posted ...

Review of Icelandair

Mister

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Supposedly a nonstop flight

Flight canceled due to technical trouble and had to return to gate. Only B-class passengers were helped quickly while 200 others had to return to check in counter. Only two agents on duty. My wife calculated it would take about nine hours to process all 200. Passengers were told that the Airbus A330-300 had to get parts flown in from Copenhagen and thus could not leave until next day. This aircraft is not unusual in the US and I am absolutely sure ...
...morning I tried to log on to SAS website and was unable to find my wife's reservation. It took me over ten (10) minutes to find the phone number. I called and was on hold for 40 minutes. The person who finally answered spoke with an extremely heavy accent and was very difficult to understand. I asked her where she was based--Estonia of all places. I told her flight was canceled and asked what she could do to help. She told me not to worry and that ...

Review of Scandinavian Airlines - SAS

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 ...
