Airtours International - AIH

Advantages: Usually pretty cheap (though not on this occasion)
Disadvantages: I don't know where to begin today - ask me tomorrow I might be kinder when I have calmed down!

...can imagine the queues..........) Airtours should have been aware of this and been more on the ball with providing; at the very least; water for us. The airport was crammed full of people, it must have been 28 degrees outside at least and the air conditioning was not having as much of an effect as it should have. Other airlines were handing out water much earlier than Airtours. After being stranded for 10 hours, at midnight they announced they were ...
...same). Unfortunately, by this time Airtours had started handing out hot food too - I wasn't hungry any more but I was so angry I thought "I'm gonna eat the bloody thing anyway!" Luckily for me I had eaten, as it turned out to be yet more stodgy stale sandwiches and baguettes, only this time with toasted cheese and ham on them - more like a pizza. YUK!! Looking around the airport I could see other airlines handing out little packaged meals on trays ... Read review

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Risk of not being seated next to each other

...of a packaged holiday with Airtours (as they were last year) and tickets are received from whatever Travel Agent or Tour Operator you booked the holiday with. *OBVIOUSLY, the safety measures found in both cabins are identical to that you would find onboard any plane. These are not compromised in “PremiAir” just because your ticket cost less. *Check-in clearly takes longer in “PremiAir” (doesn’t take a genius to work this out) as there are almost ...
...they do not work for Airtours International but Airtours themselves. These were (before the creation of My Travel) two separate companies. The only disadvantage I have is that because of the layout of the cabin (2 seats-aisle-3 seats-aisle-2 seats) if is inevitable that someone is not going to be next to their partner as you don't find many groups of 3. I had a bit of a neck ache on the outbound journey on the way out as my partner was seated behind ... Read review

Advantages: very family friendly, staf veryhelpful
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

...airline turned out to be Airtours (or Airtours international as they seem to be called on all the paperwork). Our flight from Birmingham international airport was scheduled for take off at 4.10 pm and was pretty well on time – so far so good. However, on getting to our seats which were right at the back of the plane, we found that my husband was sat on the other side of the aisle to us and our 4 year old was sat in a seat next to the fire exit ...
...duly went to see the Airtours reps who assured us that all was ok and told us to stay put – on several occasions. Someone heard that the boarding gate was changed to b25 on the other side of the airport, still we were told to stay where we were. However, someone came and told one of the passengers (another passenger, not a rep) that our flight was boarding at another gate and sure enough, it came over the tannoy – ‘flight aih574 ...

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: poor service, rude staff, uncomfortable seats and much more.

Earlier on this year Airtours merged with JMC and are now operating their flights through My Travel Airways. We booked our holiday to Florida in June 2001 and booked through JMC and was meant to be flying with them, until we had information that they changed our flight and we would now be with My Travel Airways. We wasn't too bothered as long as we got there. We couldn't understand why they changed our flight though and moved some of us who booked ...
...have anything to do with Airtours and my travel Airways ever again, even if I was paid 1 million ounds to do it. Cos the stress caused by the problems which occured and the rudeness of the staff is not worth it. We didn't however let these problems ruin our holiday. We lost a day going on our holiday too but didn't let it run away as we still done all the things we intended to do this time around. There was also never anyone to talk to when you ... Read review

Advantages: Plenty of Legroom, Comfortable Seats
Disadvantages: An Awful Lot! Please Read Review......

...years ago, we booked with AIRTOURS INTERNATIONAL on our first trip abroad to Mexico. We enjoyed this extremely! The only fault with the flight, was with the cramped 'cattle shed' aircraft. So, the following year, we booked with AIRTOURS again and travelled to Dom.Republic. This time taking advantage of the flight upgrades - PREMIAIR GOLD. Costing approximately £249 each, this included wider more comfortable seats, additional legroom and a greater ...
...And were informed from other Airtours Passengers that these were not working when they had flown with airtours a year later! The same films and music channels as on our outbound journey making an 11 hr flight very boring. But to add more............... NO COMPLIMENTARY BAR! Apparantly, all the stock had been used on the aircrafts outbound journey to the Dominican Republic and the aircabin crew hadn't thought to re-stock, while our delay for them ... Read review
