Temperature fluctuations

The journey from Brussels to Madrid was satisfactory. Firstly, the punctuality of the flight should be emphasised. Departure and landing took place according to plan. So the timetable was definitely adhered to. The hygiene conditions were excellent, as the WCs, seats and composting toilets were well maintained and clean. You also had access to perfume, wet wipes and sanitiser in the toilets. That was very practical! The seats were cosy and comfortable and there was plenty of legroom. The volume was appropriate, as there were suitable flight devices that optimised the volume. However, the reservation options were complicated and confusing, so it was not possible to book a seat in advance. Unfortunately, the price was expensive in my opinion. The staff were not particularly friendly and they ignored my concerns and requests and did not deal with them. In addition, there were several temperature fluctuations which made the journey uncomfortable. Overall, as already mentioned, it was a satisfactory trip and clearly has room for improvement, especially in terms of price and service.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

Personnel

The comfort of this flight was very pleasant. I could lean back and relax. There was plenty of arm room. I had both seats next to me free, so that was even better for me. One bad thing about the flight was the staff and service. They were rude. The wifi had a few issues but it was pretty cheap. Punctuality was okay. That's why I would give the flight three out of five stars.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

Toilets

On this flight the comfort was quite cosy, I was able to fold out the backrest. The price performance and punctuality of the flight was very good. Wifi was cheap and worked. Unfortunately the toilets were a bit dirty. I would still give this flight 5 out of 5 stars.
