Cardiff to Monastir return. Never again with this airline. Dirty cabin, seat pocket full of rubbish,
ripped seats, I had a person in my lap all the way home as the seat wouldn't go vertical, and my rear
end on a broken spring all the way there. On the way back we could actually see the flight deck as we
took off as the door wasn't shut - again very off putting. Food was ok, but tea and coffee sparse and
cold. A lot of the duty free goods were unavailable.

Cardiff to Monastir return. Both flights on time, staff pleasant and the food was hot. The 737-300 did
look a little old and decor, seat backs etc a little torn but no worse than many other airlines I've
flown. This airline is adequate.

Kathargo Airlines charter flight Dublin - Monastir return. Operated by a
Boeing 737-300 The leg room was adequate for a charter, hot meal service
both ways which was good . Cabin crew, no problem, meals and drinks
served with a smile, soft drinks free, with alcoholic drinks priced
between 2-3 euro, alot cheaper than what other airlines charge. We had a
four hour delay on our return flight, kept well informed, which was due
to the inbound flight being delayed in Vienna. Given vouchers to use in
the departures cafe for refreshments / sandwiches, which was more that
adequate for a mid afternoon snack. Outbound flight from Dublin left on
time, and arrived ahead of schedule. After reading a few of the
negative reports on them on this site, I expected the worse, but I would
have no hesitation flying with them again, it seems a lot of the reports
about them is over rated. It's not a UK airline, it's based in the
country that you are flying to, try speaking a little French to the crew
- that brings a smile, sit back and enjoy your holiday!

Flew to Monastir 1 October. Supposed to fly out to Monastir at 18.35 hrs
but didn't fly until 01.00 hrs, no explanation given. On boarding, the
cabin was smelling of cigarette smoke - it was old and shabby, some
seating, armrests and seat belts were broken, the toilet door woudn't
close. Just one look at the food - tea and coffee were undrinkable.
There was no inflight entertainment and the cabin crew were not
pleasant. The return flight was a little cleaner, the staff more
pleasant but the food wasn't fit for consumption. All was reported to
our holiday representative on arrival at our hotel. Would never fly with
Kathargo ever again.

Edinburgh to Monastir - aircraft was an old 737-300 which had shabby
broken seats with worn coverings on seats, armrests were broken. During
the meal our temporary tables sat an angle because armrest was broken
allowing meal trays to slip off. There was no inflight entertainment,
duty free service very poor indeed most items advertised in brochure not
available, crew had difficulty in working out how much you paid. Cabin
crew were courteous and helpful. On return flight same conditions as
before, good points both flights were on time. Can't say we were
impressed the aircraft has to be upgraded to give the passengers comfort
and service they expect. Seats very uncomfortable for three and a half
hour flight.

Gatwick to Monastir on the 10th July and returned on the 17th July with this airline.
Good punctuality is about all that redeems it! The staff were friendly enough however the old
style Boeing 737-300 was very tatty, my seat was broken and the armrest was falling off. Flies
were buzzing around all the time on both journeys.Space was very cramped and the leg room was
minimal (I am only 5ft 2 and still found it tight). The food was absolutely abysmal out and
back. Outbound food hot meal) was lukewarm and was sent back three times. Inbound meal was
inedible beef stew. Roll, no butter. I wouldn't want to fly with them again.

Monastir to Gatwick return. The aircraft was not clean with rubbish in seat pockets
and food smeared seat trays. Cabin crew were superb - the problem was black flies
buzziing around the whole journey - and passengers continually swatting them I was
bitten many times on my lower leg and ankles. I would not like to fly with them
again.

Kathargo charter flight London Gatwick - Monastir return. 737-300 with slightly old interior - but this was the only downside. The leg room was adequate and
compared well to most scheduled flights. Slight delay on return flight but otherwise good punctuality.
The meals on both segments were excellent with complimentary soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks were very
modestly priced at between 2 to 3 euros - much cheaper than the U. charter flights.
What made the flight was really the very friendly and efficient cabin crew.
This charter flight was a refreshing change to the cramped U.K. charters and would be happy to fly
with them again.

I flew on Karthago Airlines last week from Moscow-DME to Tunis, and from Monastir back to Moscow.
On the first flight, the interior of the 737-300 looked pretty old. Some of the fabric on the seat
backs were torn. On the second flight, on a seperate 737-300, the interior was newer and in general
more comfortable. Meals were served on both flights. There was no inflight entertainment or
inflight magazine. The best part both flights were the exceptionally friendly and helpful cabin
crew. There was also a decent selection of duty free items available on board.
