I fly back and forth Alicante to Paris twice a year. The biggest pain is that
check in counters open when the passenger lines reach the airport exit doors.
Long waiting and usually several flights destinations within minutes and gates
of each other in one line. Very confusing at the counter and at the gates.
Onboard, if you travel on their Boeing aircraft, legroom is okay, I'm 5'8" slim,
otherwise, very cramped in other aircraft. Announcements are in Spanish and
gibberish English whether in Alicante or Paris, French is beyond them it seems.
As others have pointed out, everything is for sale and once in the air, they
pitch mobile phone cards, fast food, drinks and "duty free" items. AE is cheap.
Baggage may be missing personal objects. If you need to change your
reservations, then you may as well get a new one way ticket because of change
fees and the way the compute the one way exchange.

JFK-Madrid return. 9-30pm outbound flight delayed 7 hours, so they put us up in
local hotel. Flight uneventful once we got going (told us 4am takeoff, but no
flights are allowed out of JFK until 5am, so that was stupid ruse to make sure
people didn't dawdle at the hotel). Food mediocre, but wasn't expecting much.
Not comfy in crowded seats. Garbled English announcements both ways. Pleasant
flight staff both ways, but first thing out on the flight to Spain was the duty
free cart - not refreshments or food. People buying candy to sate their hunger.
Flight back not delayed, better counter staff in Madrid.

Flew to Cuba via Madrid from Gatwick. Food was poor, staff provided grudging
customer service and were more interested in trying to sell duty free than
provide a drink or assistance. On the flight back from Cuba the entertainment
system in my seat did not work as it had been vandalised, the seat next to me
did not work either, when highlighted to the cabin crew they said unlucky, find
another seat. I moved seats watched one movie then the system failed again. The
cabin crew said they were sorry, it always happens and I would have to just find
another seat; unacceptable when you are paying €800.

Never had such a bad travel experience. No aircon Madrid-JFK, far too much
coming back, rude staff, all announcements in Spanish and the one or two in
English incomprehensible, lousy food (same on both trips). Everything for sale
even the headphones for listening to films or music if you don't have your own -
very little space, long flights with your knees up your nose doesn't ring my
bell. On the ground, Air Europa are at best disorganised, once airborne, it's a
company on the make with high prices and low cost service where even a smile
costs.

MAD-IBZ on new EMB 195 which is a beautiful aircraft, however, Air Europa crammed in more
seats, so windows are misaligned from row 4. Seat pitch is ridiculous and no one has a window
seat. Service is no frills and staff is indifferent at best. Both flights late and limited
information on the cause.

Horrible experience returning from Spain to NYC - we arrived via Mallorca (when they could
have notified us of a 10+ hour delay!) to no one letting us know our flight to NYC was
seriously delayed. We were sent to 4 different booths to try and get answers - when we finally
returned to the airport 8 plus hours later, there was not a single Air Europa staff person
there. Fend for yourself seems to be the airline's motto - I would rather spend a hundred
dollars more and fly a proper airline.

JFK-MAD-PMI 4 hour delay, luggage lost. PMI-MAD-JFK 11 hour delay. There is never any air
Europa staff at the airports, and hence no customer service. For the 4 hour delay at JFK, a
gate agent did not show up until 1 hour after the flight's original scheduled departure. When
they lost our luggage, Air Europa was unable to tell us if it had even left JFK - they had no
tracking system, unlike other airlines. With the 11 hour delay they offered no assistance to
rebook us. We also tried to upgrade to business class (there were empty seats), but they said
it was impossible because the "flight was closed". This was truly the worst travel experience
of my life.
