The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
SnackPunctualPriceDisadvantages
NoneThe first leg of the flight from Barcelona to Munich was pleasant and punctual. The Airbus was tidy and the seats were perfectly fine for a short flight. There wasn't too much space, but enough to be comfortable for two hours. The cabin crew were nice, but rather reserved. There was a small snack and drinks, which was perfectly adequate for a flight of this duration, even if the selection was not exactly plentiful.
The second flight to Budapest was similar. Again, the aircraft was in good condition and the service on board was unobtrusive. The staff were friendly but not too intrusive, just what you need for a flight of about an hour.
Advantages
TemperatureDisadvantages
ToiletsOverall, the flight was very pleasant and well organised. The seats were comfortable, with plenty of legroom. The staff were friendly and attentive and the service on board left nothing to be desired. The entertainment system and the punctuality of the flight were also big plus points. The only point of criticism was the WCs, which were not too clean. The volume was good, as was the temperature. Unfortunately, the sockets didn't work. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and I would recommend the airline to others.
