Average size person but felt like a sardine. Coffee was undrinkable. Threw it out.
It’s a no frills airline. You have to be careful about booking carryon baggage in advance because they will charge you an exorbitant amount at the airport. Bring your own food onboard. I don’t think the drinks are cheaper in the terminal. Seats are okay. No entertainment, no WiFi and no charging of devices onboard.
Transavia has started an aggressive program to charge for cabin baggage. Particularly at Schiphol the checkin staff behave like money hungry nazis to charge you 43 euros for a laptop bag as carryon. They didn’t realize I can speak Dutch and I could hear them cheering about the incentives they get for charging extra fees. To make things even more ridiculous, you can’t even store the bag in the overhead compartment because it is so full. It’s such a turnoff and makes traveling on this terrible discount airline even more miserable. To add there are no charging points or inflight entertainment on the plane. The flight crew are polite and courteous.
Transavia scams you with baggage charges. I bought an extra bag to carry with me in the plane (27 EUR) via their website. When I came to the counter they told me the bag was not acceptable, even though I have taken this without problems in several other airlines. So they forced me to pay 65 EUR at the last minute to check-in my bag and let me board. When I asked for the money I had originally paid on their website(the 27 EUR), the personnel at the counter just told me it was not going to be returned because this was not the airline's fault. This is flat out stealing.
Transavia charged us extra for a bag we had already paid for. The lady at the boarding counter literal answer was "that is not our problem". They make their measurement requirements non standard to suck money out of you in these ways.
Horrible service, never flying with this airline again. They have 0 respect for the people flying and don’t respect their own rules.
4h delay, lost luggage, no info whatsoever about anything that was going on. Lost connection bus to final destination. 2 babies beside me screaming the whole time with their mother being absolutely unapologetic. Worst experience ever
My experience is very bad. The flight was canceled 2 hours before departure. I lost my hotel reservation and can't get it back.
Boarding was slow and cabin crew was even slowing down the process.
There’s no point in paying for priority if we all just end up in the same queue at the same place
Disastrous. Creeping delays and cancelations. A routine 2-1/2 hour flight turned into a 12 hour nightmare and getting dumped at London Southend at 11pm instead of at London City. This required a £150 Uber ride to East London at 1am. We lost an entire day.
There was an older steward, he is top notch. He is very attentive at the passengers. I do not know his name. Thank you to him.
Good was great. Some of the older crew were grumpy and not customer friendly.
Everything about the flight is better,just to work on the food Everything about the food is very poor
All good, professional service, and arrived close to on time.
This was a special trip so we booked first class. It was obviously an old plane as the seats weren't that comfortable or spacious. We were delayed 45mins taking off as the "little engine that starts the big engines doesn't work". The powered divider between myself and the next seat in first class didn't work and my electrically powdered seat didn't work so I had to move seats to try and get some sleep. Food and drink were good, crew were great. But I'll never fly with BA again.
Service and food was amazing. Aircraft configuration is weird - stare at a stranger at take off and landing, during flight someone is crawling over your seat. It was lame.
The plane was a long way from departure lounge. The plane looked tired but got us there.
BA Canceled this flight and put us on a flight leaving Aberdeen at 8:00 PM, delaying our return to the states by a full day. The cancellation caused us expenses in both Aberdeen and London and BA was completely unhelpful on the phone and at the airport.
First time flying with them! Loved it! Specially the schedule from Miami and being able to come back directly to New Orleans :)
