The staff was fine in the fly, but to do check in was very poor the service.

The staff was fine in the fly, but to do check in was very poor the service.

Nothing that I like. Old plan.. old seats without maintenance. The recline seat in front of me (my was 10F) was 3 inches before my nose. It was not enough space to keep cell phone in hands. Even before landing the cruel does not pay attention to it. The worst flight of my life.

Booked my seat several weeks before and they changed it without consulting me to sit a whole family in the row sending me 15 rows to the back side, not caring if i have a short connection or any other urgent issue. The land crew made some silly excuse of a need to balance the plane because of the few passengers of the flight. Being a priority passenger it felt really a rude and careless attention from the airline

Friendly stuff , enough leg room in economy class, very efficient boarding and take off on time. There is no place to charge devices and movie collection is not to my taste. 9 hours of flight went very easy.

Very comfortable aircraft, plenty of room in the budget class. Especially liked 2 rows on each side with a 2-sitters. Staff is helpful and friendly. Food was actually very tasty. Negative- no self service electronic check-in counters which make the line much longer than could have been otherwise; outdated entertainment screens with limited choice of movies . Otherwise our experience was very pleasant and 9 hours passed without difficulty

They landed on the correct airport-no last minutes changes. Often times you hear of flight going to EZE but being diverted while on the air to AEP. It was crucial I landed in EZE as my international flight our of Argentina was taking off in 4 hours in EZE. Managed to do so and spare time to enjoy a coffee.

Old Plane with a broken seat. No food on the plane

Luggage is limited and the process for payment is convoluted. The crew is racist. Questioned why we were in upper class

My flight was cancelled over technical issues. They moved passengers to other flight that departed a few hours after mine. They left us for the 330 am flight (the original flight was 19:40). We went down the tiny Salta airport to grab dinner and suddenly they fixed the original flight and left, and never told us or made the announcement. It´s a really small airport, they could´ve looked for us, but didn´t. The flight took f with 8 passengers. And we got home after 6 am

There is no phone charging port on the plane. The infotainment system screen is small. The seats are very uncomfortable.

There was no entertainment but everyone just used their phones.

The app told us that carry on luggage was included but we were made to pay for it again at the check in counter, making it a very expensive flight. Not happy

I was charged 168 soles for kids stroller. We have travelled across the world and have never charged for the stroller. Horrific airlines and the staff was extremely rude. They wouldn’t let us board unless we pay the extra baggage cost. Never ever flying this airline and I would recommend the same for the others.

Avoid this airline. They are unprofessional. The captain left several passengers on ground due to covid restrictions which were never communicated. As a chilean, I am ashamed that this low level airline comes from my country. Remember this horrible brand and avoid it... Jetsmart

Flight was delayed 8 hours which when talking to locals is quite common for Flybondi. Old plane but it served its purpose. Pleasant crew and ground staff. Very economy targeted airline. Would be adequate if the airline could maintain an on time schedule. Would not recommend.

Many problems to make my check in. Didn't work. I most call to call center because they blocked my reserve for changes in my flights. I hate Flybondi. All is difficult whith them

Ground and flight crew were wonderful, the flight was on time and comfortable. The price was excelente, unbeatable. Thanks

I was impressed with Flybondi. The crew at the check-in desk prioritized passengers leaving on the next flights. They were friendly and helpful and spoke English. They helped me to change my ticket to an earlier flight without imposing punitive charges. The baggage fees are extremely reasonable. I would fly them again, and recommend it.

Flight was canceled due to weather with zero rebooking help

Flight was delayed for 5 hours. Seats are not confortable and the plane feels dated

So many changes on the hour of the flight and the departure airport

FlyBondi canceled my flight a week in advance for no reason. It was the start of the winter holiday season in Argentina so there was no availability on any airline that day. I was able to find a flight out on a different airline the next day for much more than I'd paid FlyBondi. When I arrived in Salta, I mentioned the story to the car rental guy at the airport and he shrugged and said "FlyBondi? They're a very unreliable airline"

I have traveled with low cost carriers and they have generally been OK, especially considering the cost advantage. Flybondi is terrible. I flew twice (Buenos Aires-Iguazu and RIo-Iguazu). Boarding was like herding cattle. No regard for tired passengers. Staff was rude, always telling travelers what they could *not* do, hardly ever helpful. In my first flight the air flow on top of the seats did not work and the whole airplane had a bad smell (because of that?). The space between rows of seats was the smallest I ever experience. It did not help that the seat did not recline. Second flight had a very bumpy takeoff and even more bumpy landing (or whatever is the opposite of smooth - abrupt?). On the return (3 and 1/2) ride they did not even offer food or drinks for a price (as they did on the first). You had to go to the back of the plane and request a cup of water if you wanted to drink anything. In sum, they reminded you every moment that this was not supposed to be a regular (pleasant) flight experience. Avoid it as much as possible.

Todo el viaje fue de atraso en atraso, mucha gente perdió excursiones por los atrasos, salimos más de 4 horas tarde , el personal fue bueno , pero el servicio de informacion muy malo
