Airlines

They have recently upgraded the interior of all their long distance aircraft.

Why don't you want to use Air France?

I'm also checking to book a flight to Tokyo on September, and the best options are Air France, Lufthansa or KLM.

Waiting for my holidays to be confirmed to know the exact dates though.

Any recommendations about those 3 airlines?

I just flew Avianca for the first time and I was really impressed. Even my hour and a half connector flight had in-seat entertainment, hot food and qt 3.14 attendants that actually, you know, attended.

Sure beats a bag of almonds and a sky-mall tossed in your lap by Gladys the former cosmetologist.

Also, damn I dig those uniforms.

Too cramped (3-4-3) and weren't anything special on my trip to Hongkong

the flights themselves are about the same on all three, but you probably want to pick klm just cause of schiphol.
the weather probably varies the most there, but at least there is some structure at schiphol, and the people working there really know what their job is.
cdg is hell, i mean not moscow levels of hell, but it's really fucking bad.

Opinions on air europa?

And I can fully agree with it.

And for OP, try finnair.
A350 to tokyo in a 3-3-3 configuration. probably the best you can get.

Seems like we recognize each other easily in airline threads.

I've been going with them to Tokyo a few times and they're good. The food is okay, and it's a pretty basic non-budget airline. Entertainment has more Scandinavian movies than usually but they always have English subtitle, and they will have some Asian movies as well.

Thanks guys.

Also, has any of you booked a flight through gotogate.com? I never book on those kind of sites, I always buy the tickets through the official airlines websites, but somehow the ones I'm looking are quite cheaper there (and I can even choose my seat and stuff).

I'm reading good opinions but since it is an important amount of money (+600€) I don't want to take any risks.

are you fucking kidding me

It's always hundreds if not thousands of dollars cheaper to book the same flight through another site

Every time I've done it, it was the same price in the official websites. Or maybe like 5€ more expensive.

I usually notice it's the same price. And, you check in through the official airline anyway. I don't see the difference. EVER. Maybe we fly different airlines. If you fly often, like more than 2 or 3 times a year, you start to notice that your airline perks are worth more than airfare differences anyway. There are times you want priority boarding on connections, free seat assignments/upgrades to sit near the front, a free checked bag for your heavy shopping. I'm pretty loyal to about 10 airlines, 5 domestic, and rest okay for international, and the rest I wouldn't get on, prices or not.

Idk I normally only see a difference that is less than 3%.
I always go for the official airline sites, my friends don't. I never had any problem with my bookings, and when I had to re-book due to missed connections, etc, it went smooth as a breeze. My friends had issues...

It's almost always the same price.
Just search through Google flights

Turkish airlines is great, why would you not want to use it ?

It must vary quite a bit by airline. I used to fly a fair amount (spent around a third of my time abroad for work, mostly chopped up in lots of little 1-3 week trips), and while I eventually stopped booking my own tickets, I can count at least a dozen occasions when I got a better deal by booking through the airlines' own websites. I always shop around nowadays, and will frequently book through third-party sites, but I always cross-reference with the airline.

Anyone used Volotea, a discount carrier out of Spain? I assume they're going to be medium-lousy to absolutely-awful, but they were the cheapest deal I could find on some domestic tickets within Italy.

Are they worse than, say, Easyjet? Will I regret these ninety minutes of my life enough to wish I'd paid three times as much on Alitalia?

They have nice long haul flights. Comparable to any other respected airline. Flew SAS from Oslo to HK, and it was easily comparable t my Qatar airlines flight from Oslo to Sri Lanka (Via qatar)

Confirmed for never having booked his own flight tickets.
