Flight delayed over two hours, very little communication from staff then had to wait 2.25 hrs to clear passport control. Had arrangements for evening ruined as a result.
Pros: "Amazing crew, excellent drinks and decent food. Very comfortable seat"
Cons: "Everything was great"
Pros: "Decent crew, nice snacks."
Cons: "Wifi shonky - didn’t work most of the way. Entertainment app didn’t work. Lengthy delay."
Pros: "Everything was easy"
Cons: "Business class seats are snug for big people compared to other airlines"
Pros: "There was one stewardess that really made the trip feel less "restricted" in the way she would greet, talk, serve, and just being what I always experienced good international flight staff to be. I wish I was able to get her name so I can praise the airlines for hiring such a great staff like her."
Pros: "Business class on the 737 is somewhat basic compared to Virgin Australia's A330, but you still get the same great service, and the food is terrific."
Cons: "There is no entertainment, not really required on a short flight but nice when offered."
Pros: "The seats of the economy class are a little bit bigger than the rest of the airlines and are so much confortable to sleep."
Cons: "The crew speaks to quick and the Australian accent is not always easy to understand"
Pros: "While seats were close together (little knee space), the plane was 1/2 full, so lots of space in adjoining seats. Nice crew."
Cons: "Delay in boarding - not clear why. Can never get the wireless entertainment system to work."
Pros: "We paid extra for exit row seats so we had good leg space"
Cons: "The seats are so small that only your backside fits on it and we are not big people. There is no support for the thigh and I had severe cramps after leaving the aircraft. The flight to LA with Virgin Australia was far more comfortable."
Cons: "Due to flight delay, I had to skip dinner. If could have been nice to supply light meal in case of major delay resulting landing after time when most restaurants closes..."
Pros: "The overall experience was great! I was extremely satisfied. I thought the crew was very kind and the extra touch of bringing ice cream to everyone as a treat was perfect for our family that had to restless little boys."
Cons: "I did find it strange that the only brought the drink cart around once during the 9 & 1/2 hour flight. It was a cost savings approach more than anything. For the crew, I am sure it was also a time savings approach. When going to find another drink, it was clear supplies were also thinning out."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight was late, boarding was archaic, seat pitch in for economy was tighter than I am accustomed, Could not purchase foo or drink because cash was not accepted & my credit cards were denied for offline purchase. No snacks or drink machines in boarding waiting area. Crew looked uninterested"
Cons: "The food service was terrible I was in row 20 and they ran out of all sandwiches and coffee!!!!! I thought flying BACK would be superior to EasyJet who I normally fly with but quite frankly your service is not nearly as good"
Cons: "Seats were so tight and uncomfortable. This was an 8+ hour flight and it was so hard to rest."
Pros: "Boarding the plane was fast and easy, crew was fantastic on and off the plane."
Cons: "Having to pay extra for the tickets to pick our seats in advance."
Pros: "Felt like a disorganized mess! I don’t understand how this is still in business. Water was for sale on the flight, not for free. Water!! It’s a basic amenity. Exit row was exactly the same leg space as the rest of the aircraft. So why did I pay extra?"
Cons: "Delays! Delays! Delays!!"
Pros: "nice crew, great food, high quality blankets, good movies"
Cons: "the time spent waiting in the jetbridge was long. my window seat didn’t have a window."
Cons: "We missed the flight and so has nothing to say. We are still lamenting over our lost luggage"
Cons: "It was a smaller aircraft than the one on the way there. So a lot more cramped. And it was SO HOT. I dont know why they give blankets when they keep it so hot. I thought I was going to lose it."
Pros: "The entertainment and that’s it"
Cons: "The flight was late for an hour and it’s not the first time with el al"
Pros: "The most kid friendly airline you could hope for. There is no comparison between the staff in this airline and the staff on other airlines."
Cons: "They show weird and often violent movies in public screens that are not appropriate for religious audience or for small children who are sensitive to graphic violence."
Pros: "Very comfortable. Great value for money."
Cons: "The meal of yaman bread was tasty but a bit heavy."
Pros: "I had a good experience purchasing my El Al ticket through Kayak. I was able to select my seat--exit row seats at no extra cost! (although the ticket was admittedly expensive). El Al itself was fine. Service was fine. Food was fine for airplane food. (The bread was actually good, much better than the food on America airlines in general). El Al is known for their tight security and we certainly experienced that. However, I found myself NOT annoyed by it. Because I and my traveling partner were not Jewish or Israeli, we were singled out and interrogated with extra questions. This doesn't sound good but it meant we didn't have to wait in the regular line and kind of got the VIP treatment. We were treated very nicely. Someone went out of their way to get us a seat while we waited for them to inspect the dust particle samples on our wallet and shoes. TSA makes my blood boil but the security through El Al was somehow a pleasant experience. Overall, I was satisfied."
Cons: "The seats were a little narrow. Unlike other reviewers, I did not find the crew particularly friendly."
Pros: "Boarding was quick, flight left on time and arrived earlier than schedule, seats were comfortable."
Cons: "All was good"
Pros: "Clean airport and airline. I was on the new Dreamliner. Book business you don’t want to be in the back."
Cons: "For obvious reasons security is tight. However, they do not warn you sufficiently about the screening and security process. It took 2 hours alone to get through security and it was a light crowd. I can only imagine if it was packed or during major EU or Israeli holiday. They try to move people fast but security folks are all very young so they require a lot of supervision and need oversight so they stop and go for questions with trained team members."
Pros: "Almost all"
Cons: "Entertainment...phone is too small to watch movies and needs charger"
Pros: "Crew was very nice and professional"
Cons: "Security check lasted very long in Madrid in the ElAl counter. Because it took so long around 40 suitcases did not make it to the plane, along with mine. During the flight I was informed I am not going to receive my luggage at landing and that it will be sent later. No personal entertainment system in the plane. WiFi was not stable and kept shutting down. I was not offered any compensation for the delay in the arrival of the suitcase. I as a customer avoid flying with ElAl, I bought a ticket to Iberia and had to fly with ElAl because the flights were shared. In the future I will avoid flying with companies that might share with ElAl, because they give very poor service and they mistreat women."
Cons: "We had a medical emergency. I understand that and am happy to stop to allow that passenger off. But we were told it would be a quick stop. We were on the ground for over 3 hours without communication from the crew. When asked questions they gave no answers. Even after we left they couldn't tell us what took so long. I understand things happen, but a little communication goes a long way."
Pros: "Crew seemed pleasant"
Cons: "flight delayed by an hour. Entertainment system kept logging me off so was unable to watch films"
Pros: "On time, smooth and professional"
Cons: "Nothing - the best part of this flight is that is so short :)"
Cons: "This flight has a record of being late 90% the times i use it"
Cons: "The flight was delayed, normal easy jet flight, not expensive, short on space and just about ok on comfort. But, good flight times and reasonable cost. There was a very big man in my row, with his small wife, he just about fitted on,but I don't think of have accepted him sitting next to me."
Pros: "Seats were as expected. Staff were friendly. Food was alright, but not much choice for gluten free! First officer explained the route we were taking home, which I find interesting and not all airlines do this now. Might have been nice to be told a little more at points on the way home. Smooth flight and landing, and ahead of schedule too! Luggage reclaim was quick too."
Cons: "The queue at check in was ridiculous! 1 lady serving with another for priority only. We stood in the queue for well over an hour and a half, which meant we almost had to literally run to board the plane! Not as relaxing as we'd hoped, especially as we arrived 20 minutes before the check in opened!"
Pros: "Kept informed about delay"
Cons: "The plane was delayed 3 hours so booked another flight with another airline"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "Absolute worst experience in 15 years of frequent travel. EasyJet flight was cancelled from Paris to Nice incurring and additional 417 euro flight with Air France and 250 euro TAXI from Toulon to nice. Absolute absurdity as there were no other flights to Nice for 2 days. Easy jet then OVERBOOKED me from Nice to Paris. I had to fly Air France AGAIN, an additional 380 euro and I missed my connecting flight from Paris to jfk costing me an additional $800USD. How is this even allowed? WORST company to have ever existed, they must go out of business, contacting BBB and getting the word out on this disgusting company."
Pros: "Short flight time."
Cons: "Two of us were booked on the same seat on a full flight. The staff never apologized or explained what was happening. Luckily, we both managed to get to Vienna due to some passengers missing their flight. Howeveer, abysmal service, no explanation and overall terrible experience."
Pros: "Crew are friendly and helpful."
Cons: "All beverages and food are for purchase. Not much of services."
Pros: "Fought was in time and the boarding process occurred quickly."
Cons: "I'm not a fan of queuing for the plane after the entry gate. But at least no additional bus was needed to get to the plane on the tarmack"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "They made us pay for our bag even though we only had one and it fit into the measurements. They said it was because it was full but they still made us pay 60 euros each. Making it a 120 euro more than it should have been. They also pretended not to speak English when we tried to talk to them about payment even though they spoke perfect English when they told us the cabin overheads were full. Will definitely be contacting kayak about this."
The flight was delayed 5 hours and I'm and invalid,I wan a refund for this
The cabin crew on that flight were super fantastic and super helpful. They were so polite and considerate that i felt i travelled with a 5star airline.
Delayed delayed delayed - always with Wizzair. Staff were friendly and well mannered but clearly the company is unorganized and the aircrafts are outdated.
It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.
4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.
To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.
I have been treated unacceptably by WizzAir aircraft crew in a previous flight, they threatened me and abused me, and I received an OFFICIAL written apology, but only two (2) months later. This flight had no such unacceptable behaviour, but it's not nice to be left waiting in the walkway (from gate to aircraft) for a long time, just so that the 'boarding' appears to be early, even if actual departure is not.
What I liked new airplane Sitting was extremely uncomfortable! Crew not smiley at all Always chewing gum
The flight was cancelled just 4 hours before the take off...
No food on board. Not comfortable. Had to move seats was delayed more than 3 hours.
