Customer Rating : 5/5 |  |
Manchester to Moscow and flight staff were superb! The plane was clean, and crew could not have
been more helpful. Food was good - better than I have had on a lot of flights. Would definitely fly
with Corsair again.

Paris-Orly to Antananarivo return. The staff in the airplane was
friendly, too. But it seems they were just too busy and it took some
time until they came after I pressed the steward-button. The service is
nothing special but fair. Food ok and filling. Compared to other
airlines that I took before (eg. Emirates) the entertainment is quite
poor for such a long flight. The confirmation of the flight back took
ages and the lady in the travellers agency (I am not sure whether she
was Corsair employee; everything was done by phone) was neither able to
speak english nor interested. The way back is via StDenis, where all
passengers have to leave the airplane (it needs to be cleaned after the
trip from Paris). Even if passengers just go in transit, they have to
pass a security check that takes ages (it is only one checkpoint for all
transit passengers). The flight to Paris was as described above, all
luggage survived (Whereas HLX managed to brake it on the short
connecting flight). The arrival at Orly is almost at midnight what can
make it difficult to get help on the airport or a hotel. The big
advantage of taking CorsAir is the luggage limit of 30kg for the big
luggage and the lower price compared to other airlines (at least at this
moment). There was no reason to complain about staff, I have seen them
nicely taking care of parents with babies. Not really good is the
comfort, entertainment system is poor.

Paris Orly to St Martin, West Indies. Check-in staff disinterested.
Aircraft an ageing 747, with very cramped seating and no inflight
entertainment screens. Food was disgusting, cabin crew impolite and
inefficient. Thank God the aircraft which should have brought us back
went unserviceable, and after a four-hour wait without info, two British
aircraft including a 747 arrived to carry the passengers Corsair would
have put into one! I have flown with most European charters and can
unreservedly say Corsair is in a class of its own for low quality.

Paris ORY to La Romana (Dominican republic) Economy class going and
business class for coming back. At the airport for the two flights
check-in and boarding were quick and organized and there was no delay
(rare for a charter airline). The plane was a new Boeing 747-400. Seats
very cramped, food disgusting but cabin crew professional and friendly.
Coming back I was in business class which is located on the upper-deck :
seats were comfortable with a personal screen, food good and service
nice. I think the business class of Corsair is not a business class like
Air France, British Airways or Singapore Airlines, but better than Air
India or Air Mauritius. Price was only 150 euros more for one flight.

Corsair A330-200 YUL-ORY / ORY-YUL. I didn't know what to expect from
them as I had never taken any charter flight before. YUL-ORY. We took
off 2 hours late because the aircraft arrived late from Paris. The
flight was fine even though I was traumatized by how cramped the seats
were. The crew was friendly and the food was good. ORY-YUL. Now that
was a complete nightmare. We were supposed to takeoff at 11 am. We took
of at 6 pm, without any explanations. I had the emergency exit seat this
time so the flight in itself was good. Will I ever fly again with them?
only if I absolutely have too. I give them 4.5/5 out of 10.

We went from Paris to Pointe à Pitre/Guadeloupe. Let alone the very poor ORLY airport's service
(information desk not occupied, no signs, nobody wants to help you finding the right terminal). On
the plane: Seats very cramped, food poor, films uninteresting. But as the seating space in AF to
Réunion to which we are accustomed is not a bit better, we took it. Our (direct) flight back was
cancelled and brought forward by 3 hours what we learned by chance (!) reading a note on the hotel's
pinboard. The plane was very untidy when we got in. And it was not a direct flight; we had a stop-
over of a full hour in Fort-de-France (we had to leave the plane and amused ourselves in the duty-
free shop), but at least the plane was cleaned there. Result: We started two hours earlier than we
had planned and came back to Paris one hour later and were almost too late for our sequel flight
from CDG to Frankfurt. Fortunately, there seems to be an understanding between AF and Corsair, and
so, even before we landed, we were informed that we need not worry: AF was already informed about
our delay (thank you, staff!) and was willing to book us on the next flight, which was eventually
not necessary because we got our luggage early and caught the bus by running. Well, as we saved 400
EUR for two persons on that flight in comparison to AF, and as we know know what we possibly would
have to expect, we would try Corsair once again.

LAX-PPT, not bad. The food was just as exceptional as AF, but the FA's were much friendlier and
more humorous, very attentive to ones needs. And the fare, US$590, cannot be beat. The 747 was
interesting-looking; a giant set of red lips painted on the side with the word "sex" on the landing
gear door. Only problems were that there were long departure delays and the seats, while comfortable, were very
cramped together. If they still flew to Tahiti, I'd definitely fly them again.

CRL on Paris to Fort-de-France and return and my worst flights so far.
The flight from ORY was delayed of 9 hours without any explanations. Then, we had to wait for two
hours in the plane after boarding (which was a rush).
Their 747-300 are fit with 580 seats (90 more than AF) that's are very cramp and old.
I was lucky enough to get a seat in the upper-deck just after the biz class so I had a lot of
legroom available but this was the only attract of this flight.
The food was horrible and the crew was very rude and only seemed to be
interested in getting their
break.
The way back was horrible (although our flight was not delayed) because of an old
747-200 with even more cramped seats and rude flight attendants (some have even kept their
sunglasses during the flight!).
I hope no foreigners use this carrier because it doesn't give a good look of France.
