Average size person but felt like a sardine. Coffee was undrinkable. Threw it out.
Transavia has started an aggressive program to charge for cabin baggage. Particularly at Schiphol the checkin staff behave like money hungry nazis to charge you 43 euros for a laptop bag as carryon. They didn’t realize I can speak Dutch and I could hear them cheering about the incentives they get for charging extra fees. To make things even more ridiculous, you can’t even store the bag in the overhead compartment because it is so full. It’s such a turnoff and makes traveling on this terrible discount airline even more miserable. To add there are no charging points or inflight entertainment on the plane. The flight crew are polite and courteous.
Transavia scams you with baggage charges. I bought an extra bag to carry with me in the plane (27 EUR) via their website. When I came to the counter they told me the bag was not acceptable, even though I have taken this without problems in several other airlines. So they forced me to pay 65 EUR at the last minute to check-in my bag and let me board. When I asked for the money I had originally paid on their website(the 27 EUR), the personnel at the counter just told me it was not going to be returned because this was not the airline's fault. This is flat out stealing.
Horrible service, never flying with this airline again. They have 0 respect for the people flying and don’t respect their own rules.
Boarding was slow and cabin crew was even slowing down the process.
Schiphol airport needs to get their stuff together. I had to wait one hour at the passport control for EU national ID members, not the international one that they were waiting for 4 hours, and the baggage claim had an other hour on top of delays. That is insane, trying to exit the airport, at this point just let me get my own bag from the luggage compartment.
Booked priority boarding but all passengers boarded at the same.
Not Transavia item, but baggie claim took more than 30 min
Flight delayed. Information was sent via SMS which was helpfull, but also misleading: First message indicated only a change of type of airplane. The second about a delay. No update on revised delay time later. No good follow-up on boarding time etc afterwards,
The luggage handling at arrival was extremely slow. The indication "first luggage on belt" was not correct at all. This is the second time it arrives to me and I will choose other carriers as a consequence.
I barely made the flight. We had to take a bus to the plane and the plane smelled awfully of body odor. When the flight attendant walked by she smelled of body odor. It was incredibly uncomfortable. Also my luggage did not make it onto this flight and when it finally arrived home the handle of the luggage was all ripped. I will have to purchase a bag again.
SAL to FRA - Original flight was cancelled less than 10 hours before scheduled. Did receive lodging at no cost for 1 night. Coordination between Lufstansa and hotel was very poor and we had to pay for a meal we thought was to be paid for. Traveling from SAT to Denver coordination between Lufstansa and United was very poor and we paid double for our check-in baggage. We are hoping to that refunded. We wish other airlines would fly to Salzburg as we plan to visit more often.
They don't really offer snacks or water as much. but it was perfect.
They lost my luggage for five days and did not keep me notified of the progress at all.
It was a good flight. The boarding was smooth and timely managed. They offered in advance to dispatch cabin luggage at no cost. I suggest to add a snack and basic drinks. There was only water provided in the cost of the ticket.
Flight okay...my issue is with the flight from Frankfurt to Philadelphia
The flight was very good , on time without delays, specially the staff was great!
Delayed, took forever to get luggage out of the flight. Worst short flight within Europe we've had.
Flight cancelled then rebooked. Waited hours for help. Customer service lady at airport (who was great) gave us seat upgrade. When we got the the gate to board, gate crew was rude, they switched our seats back to economy and made us and one other couple check our luggage. Dozens of other people with bigger bags weren’t asked to, just us and a couple other foreign passengers. When we boarded the plane, there was plenty of room in overhead storage AND our upgraded seats were empty the entire flight. Awful experience and we missed an entire day in Amsterdam because of this.
There was no flight!! This flight was non-existent and I had no cancellation info or change provided for me. I had to scramble to take trains to the next city to make my international flight.
