SUN EXPRESS AIRLINES review : 7 May 2008 : by Christophe Chouleur

Customer Rating : 3/5

Antalya to Frankfurt Boeing 757 code share flight with Turkish airlines. The interior of the 757 was clean and looked new, with seats that proved to be confortable and good legroom. Safety announcements on screen that did not work too well (several interruptions in demonstrations). Inflight service, consisted of a free small snack with hot and cold drinks and a movie was projected on overhead screens although no earphones were distributed. Part of the crew was very nice and the rest did not seem to care, trying to distribute meals as quickly as possible, to rest in the galley.

FRA-Antalya-FRA. Outbound flight B737-800, good seat pitch (I would say 32 inch) for the 3.5 hours flight. Food was small snack but plenty of drinks with multiple refillings. Flight attendants were very attentive. Multilingual crew, no problems with communication. No headphones, so bring your own otherwise you won't have any music or watch the movie running on the main screen. Inbound flight with B757. The worst seat pitch I ever encountered - no space between your knees and front seat. I'm 1.75 m and I felt crunched, luckily the flight was only 3 hours and 45 min. We had a pleasant snack and again plenty of drinks as well with multilingual crew. This time no music or movie - crew said it was broken. All in all the B757 was really a dated aircraft. This is the first time flying with this airline and actually surprised with a very competitive price(150€) and great service. Beside the seating in 757 (try to fly with the B737-800) I will recommend it.

Amsterdam-Izmir on June 2007. Very helpful flight attendants and a clean B737-800. The leg space was ok for the price(200€).

Stansted to Ercan return. First time with Sun Express. Ample unused seats on this flight (new route ?). Some inflight entertainment available, but not used by me. Basic meal - sandwich, drink and chocolate biscuit to Izmir, smaller sandwich and drink Izmir to Ercan. No charge! Coffee, tea and soft drinks at no charge. Other stronger drinks available, chargeable but at reasonable prices. For the very competitive price paid, these two flights were excellent value for money, £200 return. Flight attendants were efficient, happy, and pleased to help you.

Exeter to Antalya and back September 2006. Interior of the 737 felt tired and shabby. The crew were more interested in selling duty free items than anything else and the onboard catering was probably the worst I have experienced. Delayed flights in and outbound with no explanation offered although the plane was on the ground in plenty of time at both ends. I would look at alternatives before using them again.
