Overall, the flight was fine. The crew on the plane were great and check-in and security were seamless. However, boarding had some hiccups. Namely, there were no covered boarding ramps being used and it was raining. To make it worse, there was no phasing of sending passengers out to board and the speed that people were getting into their seats was leisurely. As a result there were many damp and wet passengers and a lot of grumbles.
We were over an hour late taking off when the flight was already a late in the flight. Was very warm for most of the flight to the point that it was uncomfortable.
Everything was spot on until boarding time . Plane was late departing by 40 min… but then they couldn’t find a tug to push us out from the terminal… we sat around for another 20 min making us just over an hour late. Apart from being late everything else was fine !!!
A good standard flight, a little delayed, on the return flight, comfortable during cruise hour. The food was tasty, the tea pleasant, standing in the rain, on Launceston tarmac, was stupidity. Just delay the exit from the airplane, don’t have us standing around, while another plane slows its propellers. That’s common sense, but overall comfortable, clean toilet, good legroom, I paid for that, last on, first off, get a front row seat.
Cabin crew were really good. Flying in to Perth from Adelaide on domestic flight. The arrival for wheel chair use however has no air bridge provided. Unloading meant a scissor lift. Otherwise a good service.
Knees in back from passenger behind, limited seat pockets, no entertainment.
The Ryanair of Australia. Not impressed. Forced me to gate check my bag as it was over their weight limit. Charged me $125 for the privilege. Then said plane hold was locked and it would have to go out in the next flight, which was the following day. Explained that I was on a cruise the next day and the plane would not arrive until after the ship left, and that it would be impossible to catch up with the cruise at any point. Lady at the gate unimpressed. So to sum up they were ready to charge me $125 to lose a bag. Finally got it resolved by appealing to management, but the whole episode was not good for the blood pressure. The gate lady said they followed the Ryanair business model which means first time passengers get penalized for doing things that other airlines routinely allow.
Delayed 50 mins. Check in was excellent, boarding was good, everything else was OK and perfectly acceptable for a budget airline. Price was excellent. I noticed this airline had two other flights to our destination cancelled so not very reliable.
Horrible. The people that get this flights are very sick, dangerous and unhygienic
Worst airline ever. No need to go into detail as everything is terrible. Do not do it - whatever the price.
