Reviews about the company "I Fly"

I Fly airline is an excellent charter carrier that delivers passengers to the most popular tourist places. Passengers note good service on board, with the exception of on-board meals. Flight delays are extremely rare. Therefore, no matter what resort you go to, IFly will get you there quickly.

Passenger reviews:

• My husband and I flew with this airline from Samara to Antalya and back. In general, the flight went well, without incident, although it is clear that the plane is not new. But roomy. True, the screens on the seats did not work, but for us it was not critical; we had a laptop with us. They offered food and juices. I won’t say that the menu is restaurant, but you can eat. We flew calmly and more or less comfortably.
• They didn’t fly on 04/21/2018, they kept us from the promised 18:00 until 01:00 and sent us home/to a hotel, there was no replacement plane. I consider the work of the airline and its owner, Tez Tour, to be dishonest!
• We flew with this airline in May 2018 on the Kazan-Antalya-Kazan route, chose our seats in advance on the website, the flight attendants were nice, but the cabin itself was very cramped, most likely they installed additional rows to increase the number of seats, lunches were more than modest, drinks too very little, even if it’s a charter, but everything is somehow very economical, but you can take hand luggage with you into the cabin.

Classmates

We flew with this airline on 10/31/18 from Moscow to Phuket and on 11/15/18 from Phuket to Moscow. Virtually no complaints. There was enough space between the seats even for our son (height 185cm). We pre-booked seats there through an online service (in the middle of the cabin), but we couldn’t book a return ticket (for some reason, there were no return ticket numbers on boarding boards). I got seats in the back, but I didn’t notice the difference. It should be noted that two years ago we flew to Phuket with another airline (Boeing 747) - and there we got seats in the back. It was very crowded - the flight just killed me. This time I was pleasantly surprised - as they say, heaven and earth. I don’t even know if Airbus is more concerned about passenger comfort than Boeing, or if iFlay doesn’t seal the cabin.
There were practically no delays. On the way back, the flight was delayed for 20 minutes - customs checked a group of passengers with particular predilection. They decided to take something with them). But the complaints here are not against the company.

The staff is extremely polite and friendly. The food, in my opinion, is good. The ace pilots are beyond praise. They landed the plane as if it were weightless.

In general, the 10 hour flight this time was much more comfortable than last time. We were very pleased. ATP to the company and crews.

Charter flight26.09.2018
i4 4104 Antalya-Vnukovo, there are no complaints about the staff. But there are complaints about the airline itself. We lost our luggage, found it on 09/30/2018, on 10/01/2018 it was supposed to be delivered to our home, as they promised us over the phone, after waiting the whole day, we started calling Vnukovo again, to which we were told that the luggage handed over to the airline. Then you understand, the airlines don’t care. The result was that we arrived on September 26, 2018, we had to pick up our luggage ourselves, that is, we only picked it up on October 4, 2018. As for the food, it’s generally complete trash, pasta and sausages for children, the menu doesn’t change along the way. Conclusion, I will not fly with this airline again.

A charter flight to Antalya with the IFly company was remembered by a child screaming wildly throughout the flight; no one could calm him down, and the mother sat with headphones on and did not react in any way to the children’s screams or to the requests of passengers and staff to calm this demon down. I didn’t even remember the rest; everyone was counting down the minutes until landing. We were fed pasta with sausages and salad, and drinks were offered soda or tea/coffee.

We flew with the I-Fly company to Antalya. The flight was from St. Petersburg. I don’t like flying, I don’t like this feeling in my ears during takeoff and landing, but there’s nothing I can do, I wanted to go on vacation. There were places increased comfort. I was pleased with the flight with I-Fly. The food that was offered on board was quite edible, not homemade of course, but not bad, fresh. I even managed to sleep during the flight.

I flew with i-fly on the route Novosibirsk - Sanya. The flight was on schedule, the seats were comfortable, but during the 7 hours of the flight we were fed sandwiches with tea, albeit twice. But everyone remained hungry.

One review

1. Olga :
   

   Hello! I traveled with my child on October 30, 2019 from Sanya. Flight number 9854. We sat on seats 38 N K. I did not like the work of the flight attendant Rosalia. She poured less than half a glass of drinks, to which she replied that the norm per passenger is 200g. And they didn’t load us enough in China. Is this the case in your company? There was also a long period of turbulence and my child got seasick. After that, we went into the toilet to wash the child, then went to the chair to change clothes, she ran up to me and in a forced tone told me to go clean the toilet. I was going to do this, only after a while, and especially since she saw the whole situation and did not want to help, did not offer any care. Is this how it should be? I traveled for the first time with I Fly. And I have never encountered such an inattentive and unfriendly attitude from the flight attendants. It was very unpleasant with such staff.
