Worst Experience

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: You even don't get what you pay for

...several hours, the time that Cubana prepares a small plane for Holguin. (Note that arrived in Holguin, the airline has lost the baggages of 3 people and one found her luggage has been opened with a knive) 2) Santiago de Cuba- Havana: 3 hrs delay. Arrived at the hotel in La Havana, I've realised that a professional thief had opened my luggage, took stuff inside, and closed it without physically breaking the 3 digits lock. The airline company told ...

Review of Cubana Airlines

1st class service from start to finish

Advantages: top quality planes, nice staff
Disadvantages: none really

...though and from madrid the aerolineas argentinas journey was outstandingly simple and easy. the aerolineas argentinas planes were top notch - we went with them on 3 journies in all and despite the huge distances travelled we were never a minute late throughout. the planes are well fitted out, with good entertainment and friendly cabin crew. drinks are available as and when you want them and people we spoke to over there who came with other companies ...

Review of Aerolineas Argentinas

Avianca, good airline for South America

Advantages: Cheap, comfortable and friendly
Disadvantages: Advertising as direct flights when that is not the case

Avianca is a Colombian airline that offers flights around Latin America, the U.S and a few destinations in Spain. I flew with them on two return flights, once within Colombia and once from Quito to Caracas. Avianca has the broadest connections for the northern half of South America of any airline. Flights in South America are rarely cheap and as far as I am aware there is no budget airline that would match the likes of ryanair or easyjet within Europe, ...
...all flights. All Avianca flights use E tickets (website avianca.com, can be viewed in Spanish and English) and can check in online and passangers can check in 20kg for free. My one point of contest with Avianca is that they advertise flights as direct that are not. I booked a direct return flight from Quito to Caracas a few months ago to arrive at the airport and find that I had to change planes in Bogota. Very irritating given that it vastly increased ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

RYANAIR - THE PEOPLE'S AIRLINE IN THE SKIES

Advantages: Cheap tickets, lots of destinations
Disadvantages: Secondary airports, 'point to point'

...Santiago de Compostela, travelling with Ryanair from London Stansted. To be quite honest, I believe that we live in one of the most beautiful countries, with lots of things to do and Britain does not have the reputation of being especially expensive when compared to the rest of the world. However, there are times when we feel we need to broaden our horizons, and that is when we decide, assuming that we can afford it, to travel abroad. This is where ...
...it does to fly with Ryanair from London to Spain. SO WHY IS RYANAIR SO CHEAP? None of its planes appear to have suffered a history of defects or problems, and most of there aeroplanes appear to be fairly new and modern. So how can they offer such cheap fares? Ryanair is predominantly an internet company. By this I mean that they sell their tickets through the internet www.ryanair.com. By doing this, the company saves literally millions ...
