Tunis Air - TAR

Advantages: The staff, food and seat pitch
Disadvantages: Not all aircraft have the seat back TV's yet.

On my recent work trip to Tunisia, I flew from Heathrow airport and with the airline Tunisair. Now before this trip I had never flown before with this airline and will even admit that I'd not really even heard much, if anything about them. This is mainly due to the fact that I have never been asked for that airline and the compnay I work for at the moment doesn't have a contract to sell them as part of our packages. So with this in mind I was quite ...
...as to what kind of service they would provide. The airline: The airline itself is the national airline of Tunisia, really the clue is in the name! The airlines colour is white with a motif of an animal that looks like a goat or deer and this is in red. The aircraft was actually set up in 1948 by an agreement with Air France and in 1949 it began operation. The airlines 2 letter code is TU. The aircraft that I travelled on was a Boeing 737-600 and ... Read review

Advantages: Departure from London Heathrow
Disadvantages: Plane interior looked a bit dated

When I was recently looking for a package holiday for a short break, I tried to look for alternative to departures from London Gatwick: the airport is too far and departure/arrival times are very often too late or too early to take public transport. The taxi fare adds then a significant cost to the holiday. I was quite please to find a week in Tunisia with a departure from Heathrow flying with Tunisair. Never flew with them before and the overall ...
