“Cheap and cheerful Air Europa”
Written on: 13/04/2013 by Soojoseph
I was dreading this flight as many of the reviews I had read were poor. We have flown with Virgin, Air Frand and Iberia to cuba and I can honestly say this airline was great value for money. Virgin fly direct to havana so if you want to pay £400 more for the return fligh and get better in flight entertainment, food and get their quicker then that's fine. The seat pitch was much better than the other airlines and we were able to sit 2 together rather than in a 3 which is always more... (read more)

“Bad airline, bad service, fascistic staff and worse”
Written on: 19/02/2013
From the first minutes on board, when the pilot began to back away from the gate even while passengers were still making their way to their seats, this airline was clearly going to be trouble. The situation was not helped at all by flight attendants who completely ignored the requests of passengers, handed out beverages to some but not all (even though one has to pay for them) and so passengers had to chase after them to be served; and by ground personnel who violated the airline's own...

“Overpriced airline that acts like a low cost. ”
Written on: 15/02/2013
I have flown twice with AirEuropa and both times it was terrible. They have all these fancy adverts touting "the newst fleet in Europe" but in two different routes the planes were very old with miserable on board entertainment.BA, KLM, Iberia offer much better service and facilities, which are really needed for long haul flights. The food as terrible, service surly, and to add insult to injure, the flights were always delayed. If I wanted this level of service I'd rather fly a low cost... (read more)

We had a London-Madrid flight with a connection to Caracas on Friday 24/08. Arriving at London Airport, Air Europa staff informed us that the flight was delayed and they had no additional information. Hours later they inform us that our connection flights will wait for us in Madrid. Arriving at Madrid, Air Europa informed us to run to the door and on arrival we were informed that they did not know they had to wait and that we were never on the waiting list which was already full.

Madrid to Gran Canaria (March 31, 2012) I bought the tickets directly on Air-Europa website. They simply did not inform me that the flight UX9164 was postponed from 15h05m to 18h45m. And the flight was delayed by about 5 hours relative to the new schedule. They said that they had a technical problem with the plane but given their total disregard for their passengers, I strongly doubt it (I simply think that they decided to pack all passengers of various planed flights that day to Gran...

I won't take too much of space here. In plain and simple words never travel by this airline. Mis managed flight timings, totally mismanaged customer service, and food is out of this world. They lost my baggage on arrival to BA and made me talk to people who do not understand a single english word. Not only airport but also airline fly with the crew with zero english knowledge. How do I talk? On top of that when they found my baggage they dumped it at the wrong hotel. I received it after one... (read more)

This is the worst airline I have EVER experienced. Flew long haul to Havana, Cuba. The planes are old; the staff are very rude; absolutely no sense of customer service; the food is awful; and the flight entertainment is a joke (i.e. in a ten hour flight they showed one film which was The Smurfs). The toilets were dirty and the plane smelt terrible. NEVER EVER AGAIN. Surprised Air Europa is in business. Pay the extra and fly Virgin. I tried to and they were full. Most awful experience...

We travelled on Air Europa on Dec 23rd 2010. In summary: the check in too 3 hours, the flight was 3 hours late, no help in getting the transfer at Madrid. Aircraft was old and dirty, food was appalling. Cabin crew were rude and unhelpful. They lost our luggage (along with 25 other people) and to this day (a month later) we don't know were it is, we haven't heard from them, they don't return emails / phone calls and the call centre in Mallorca is the worst I have ever dealt with.

This was the worst airline that I have ever flown with. Our flight from London to Madrid was late so we had to run for the connecting flight. The flight Madrid to Havana was 10 hours long. The plane seemed very outdated, very small seats, no leg room, no individual tv screens, staff in old fashioned scruffy uniforms. Friend asked for help to stow her hand luggage and was told no you will have to put it under the seat in front (in an already cramped seating space on a 10 hour flight). ... (read more)

During the flight, it was impossible to understand the English announcements.

Both ways the flights were late. Announcements were made in rapidly spoken and poor English with a heavy Spanish accent, and with my poor hearing I managed to catch "Thank you" at the end. The in flight "snack" for this 2.5 hour flight consisted of a very small bread roll with damp plasticy ham. One chocolate the size of a stamp and a half cup of luke warm coffee. Never again!

I took Air Europa to Spain on 30/07/10 to Madrid to connect to a flight to Santiago de Compostela and thankfully my connection was not for 5 hours. I just barely made the connection because we arrived late to Madrid. On the way back to New York 3 of 4 suitcases had the locks ripped off. I filed a claim at the airport.

I have never had a worse experience with an airline. Due to lack of personnel on the airport, the line to check in took at least 3 hrs in London Gatwick. Due to the above, we lost our connecting flight in Madrid, although we were told by the personnel from the aircraft that it would wait for all of us. They weren't able to find a flight to Cancun from Madrid the same day, so we were sent with Mexicana the next day, but not without loosing one of my bags first. The bag arrived almost 5 days...

Flew with Air Europa way back in 1999 from MAD to ALC, and also from LGW to MAD several times. Their TurboProp aircraft has very comfortable leather seats and good leg room (their jets are the usual leg crushing affairs in Economy). However at that time they would not allocate seats on domestics, so no requests for Aisle or WIndow seats or anything like that. Fine for myself, but something to bear in mind if you have any special requirements.

We were only ones charged for extra luggage. Many others had much larger luggage and were not charged. We were charged 3 times the ticket price which means I could have offered to fly someone to Madrid if they took my bags for 1/3 the price . Our agent in NY that operated the Air Europa office said we should have same luggage restrictions as our intnl. ticket and lastly either way they never (to date and it has been hundreds of requests over 3 months) responded to us. But I'm going to guess by the tone of your comment you are troll and ignore your further comments.

Air Europa is SUPPOSED to respect international luggage limits on connecting fights, but they don't. They also very frequently lose luggage and they do NOT respond to claims, even when filed through their own procedure. I have been waiting over a year and despite calls, faxes, certified letters etc. they have not paid for ANYTHING in the luggage that they lost.

I had a similar experience flying from Paris to Valenca. I leave in Canada and customer service is a serious word down there, but for Air Europa customer service is a joke. They don't give a damn for their customers. I told the travel agent for my company to avoid Air Europa in the future and I advice any body to avoid this airline if you want to enjoy your trip.
