Airline reviews

There are often trade-offs involved with flying cheaper airlines. With Air Europa, their crowd control is terrible--the line at check-in in Madrid was absolutely hideous 3 hours before departure. These 787 "Dreamliners" are cheaply-made and uncomfortable. And disembarking at JFK was horrid...it was 11 p.m., yet we were force to deal with those off-site shuttle buses, presumably because Air Europa doesn't want to pay what it costs for an actual gate. But as usual, the worst aspect of Air Europa flights are tones fellow passengers: unruly and oblivious to such concepts as personal space. The crew was, on the other hand, lovely.

But as usual, the worst aspect of Air Europa flights are tones fellow passengers: unruly and oblivious to such concepts as personal space. The crew was, on the other hand, lovely.

The flight was long but everything went well. Crew was helpful and very attentive. Food was good and the entertainment options were many.

My long-haul flight experience with this airline was not very pleasant. Earphones were paid, and no eye mask or other amenities were provided. The meals were served in cardboard boxes with plastic cutlery. The restroom was unclean and ran out of toilet paper. However, the boarding process was smooth and well organized.

We experienced a delay of almost two hours before takeoff. For a flight of more than 10 hours, sitting on the runway for two hours is quite exhausting. The airline did nothing to attend to the passengers during that time. We were not given any courtesy drinks or snacks—only the bare minimum during the flight. The crew seemed very apologetic, but apparently they have restrictions imposed by the airline, because despite their friendliness, they provided strictly what was necessary and, of course, everything else was for sale. However, after a two-hour delay, one would expect at least complimentary beverages. In addition to this, the space between the rows of seats is inhumanely narrow. Air Europa should review this for such long flights and be a bit more considerate and humane with its customers.

No WiFi on the plane. Crew was insensitive to my medical supplies and medicine in my carry on. If the crew was monitoring passengers putting 2 bags in overhead bins there would be room. We sat for 2 hours extra. Iberojet is horrible never again.

There was no water in one of the sinks in the executive area, which is unacceptable as we could not wash our hands after using the restroom

Like I said the experience was mediocre. Nothing special about this airline.

This flight was delayed by more than an hour. The seats are uncomfortable ans do not recline properly. I prepurchased a wifi pass, but wifi was not working on this flight at all. The food was bland.

Food situation was bad. Also movie choices when compared to other airlines was terrible. Seats very narrow. My tv didn’t work.

Great staff, just very far from the main terminal, had to run to connect my flight. I had 90 minutes to spare. But my flight from Chicago was delayed also.

Very cheap airline, not worth the price. And they almost lost my luggage at JFK during a direct flight. I can't believe I paid that much money for a horrible 'premium economy' flight. Just fly economy on the cheapest end; premium economy is no different. Very very poor.

All four segments of my trip on Iberia were late for various reasons. No apparent effort to stay on schedule. Never flying Iberia again.

The flight from Madrid to Boston was awful. Without prior warning, I was seated in the row in front of an exit row where my seat did not recline. The person in front of me reclined, reducing my already tiny space further. This was the WORST flight I've ever had.

Overall it was okay. Just the lost baggage and how they are handling it

Puddle-hopper. Quick-ish flight. Don’t expect to have much/any in-flight entertainment (movies/TV, etc).

Worst flight I ever experienced, what was supposed to a 7 hour flight ended being 13 hours on a plane with no ac and the worst cabin I have ever seen. Never again.

Arrived on time. Great crew. Good food. Luggage delivered promptly

Left on time, arrived on time, despite weather, excellent service and food

Food was terrible, tasteless. I ordered ovo lacto special menu in business class and got vegan tasteless food instead. Really disappointing.

Very well, except that my luggage didn’t arrive in the corresponding flight, but they brought to me the next day.
