What is clear is that the european institutions need to get closer to citizens and to streamline its organization. In general it is like a Gordian knot to its citizens, with councils, commissions, commitologies, pillars...; and all kind of new word inventions to 'explain' its barroque organisation.....

My experience commuting on a weekly basis with Ryanair for almost one year. Preliminary comments - How did I get to use Ryanair? Previously I was flying Vueling, and because I got pissed off with them a changed to Ryanair. One day they canceled the flight but they told to us it was a delay, exactly ...

Right! Without the non-sense constraints there will be many interested. Actually what airlines ask is more than reasonable, to be able to run it under the same criteria as other (successful) airlines are run. Otherwise it will continue dying slowly,as any manager cannot manage it but just administer...

Yesterday I saw on tv some comments about this. What shocked me most was a graphic they showed with the share price in the last 10 years. In 1997 the share price was 22.5 Euros and yesterday it was at 0.7 Euros. I fly quite often to/from Italy and I always avoid Alitalia. I choose them twice and bot...

Beware of cancellations: they do not follow the current applicable EU directives on the topic, so you won't get any compensation in case of cancellations. In my case they promised a 40 Euro voucher for other Vueling flight purchase; not quite as per the applicable law but better than nothing. The ba...

My experience is different. I flew many times long haul with LH, also to PEK (from FRA) and it is one of my favorite airlines, if not the most. I fly very often and I expend many nights and take many meals on airplanes; and despite my home airport is AMS I always choose them as a first option becaus...

The trouble and inconvenience to passengers caused by cancellation of flights should also be reduced. This should be achieved by inducing carriers to inform passengers of cancellations before the scheduled time of departure and in addition to offer them reasonable rerouting, so that the passengers c...

I want to add that as very frequent user of airlines (I am KLM Platinum Elite and LH Senator) and despite the number of problems that sometime happen I never had such a situation as described above. Special positive mention for LAN Chile in their overbooking policy (I have experienced excellent trea...

Vueling violates European Regulation (EC) no. 261/2004
The following situation happened to me almost 2 months ago. Since then I have not received any news from Vueling. I am writing this negative statement about Vueling since I consider that given the time passed since the event took place they have had more than enough time to react according to the ap...

Just flew last week my first time with SAS. Totally disapointing, I will never choose them again if I have another choice. Got a business ticket, this was said in the reservation, and the price was also business. For the internal flights we were packed in a full airplane and the only choice was to b...

I am not surprised at all. I recently flew with Austrian a couple of longe haul flights in business class (D) to Asia. Aside of all the details and blabla that I will save you, the conclusion is good quality and competitive price (this is the key combination for success!), together with a relatively...

I fly regularly with Vueling since they started to fly BCN-AMS. My highlight comments are: - excellent quality/price ratio (forget Transavia, Virgin, KLM, Iberia...) - legroom is below comfort levels (but for 2 hrs you can survive it) - it is very good that you can choose your seat on their web page...
