Alitalia is the Dan Air of Italy.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Life Threatening

Alitalia is the Dan Air of Italy. With simply pathetic excuses for everything, I would avoid this airline like the plague! My last flight with them was the most emotional, I had 3 flights to catch on the same day, all with Alitalia, my destination, Minsk, Belarus. All 3 flights had the same "meal", a term used in the loosest of forms. A sort of Cottage cheese and fungus roll, with a small glass of water, sounds delightful doesnt it, well this ...
...leave a lot to be desired for, some air steward with the largest hair style in the world, and crumbs in his beared, insisted on making his prescence known to me as often as possible, and continuously kept stopping and rubbing his leg on my arm as he passed my seat, as if there wasnt enough room, and the flight stewardess who thought she was on a cat walk, but really should have had a slap, and reminded she was on a budget airline. The Sopwith Camel ...

Review of Meridiana

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 ...
