FRA to TUN. Price was really cheap for biz, with nice seats and a good service. They did not offer any English
newspapers on the plane or in the Tunis Lounge I cannot understand. Would fly with them again.

MAN-TUN in May 2012. Plenty of leg room, and the food was excellent. Staff were pleasant enough, bearing
in mind they have a plane full of passengers to attend to, so you cant expect devoted service. Only down
side I found was that there was no choice of drinks. If you wanted a beer, you asked for it, and were given a
can. Don't know if wine or spirits were available. Would use again. It certainly made a change from the
charters, and price we paid, was very competitive indeed. On the return flight from Enfidha, we were given
exit seats, which allowed us to stretch our legs, and the food, again, was excellent.

MXP-TUN, MIR-FCO. Check in easy on both routes. There are crew to greet you at the door but they do not
smile. Crew service good but will assume you speak Arabic. Meal on outbound flight was delicious. Meal on
Rome sector was cold and disgusting, but only an hour flight. Both flights on time and even early into Tunis.

LHR-TUN return to LHR. Aircraft was A320, on both legs a little old but well maintained. Cabin was tidy and
the crew were smiling and responding to all demands. Pitch is ok and you are allowed to carry 20 kilos of
luggage. We had a choice of 3 meals on a 2 hr 45 mins flight, beer is on demand and you could take
whatever you want. A good experience.

LHR-TUN return. Both legs were on 2 of the older A320's in the fleet which are showing their age! The flight
from LHR left 1 hour later than the STD however this was due to the aircraft arriving late from Tunis. Upon
return the flight left 45 minutes late as there was no Ramp staff in Tunis to load the baggage and hence we
had to wait for these to become available to load the baggage/cargo before we could depart. The food even
by airline food quality is very poor. However the seating in economy is very impressive both in width and
pitch. It must also be said that the cabin crew are extremely helpful and very polite.

I am very disappointed about my trip on Tunisair 327, Airbus 320. I booked business class and expected a
comfortable seat, however there was no difference between it and the economy one. Even the package they
are offering for socks, ear plugs and eye masks is very cheap and doesn't reflect business class. I paid a
large amount and expected a professional service.

LHR-TUN return. Travelled as a family of 4. Very friendly cabin crew, A319 with at-seat PTV on both flights. Food
was great as well and I would be happy to fly with them again in the future.

DUS-DJE-DUS Tunisair Economy Charter, crew varied from friendly to neutral. Planes a bit worn.
Food better than German airlines flying into Tunisia.

FRA-TUN-FRA Pretty worn cabin and cramped seating. Food okay. Staff a bit nonchalant and not
too serious about their position as hosts. But on time and relatively good value for money.

TUN-CAI in Business Class. Check-in quick and efficient. Lounge in Tunis staffed by surly bar
attendant. Boarding orderly. Excellent cabin crew in business class. Seats were normal Y
class seats with extra legroom and the middle seat blocked as a table, and was comfortable for
a 3 hour flight. Excellent meal was served accompanied by high quality wine and champagne.
All in all a very satisfactory experience.

ATH-TUN-ATH, A319, the aircraft configure with all economy class. Check in on both directions
fine. The cabin was fine and aircraft seem to be in shape. We had a hot meal with a choice of
drinks. The service was very good and crew was fine for a short flight. Our return flight to
Athens we had a good breakfast. Overall I was satisfied.

Gatwick to Djerba via Monastir. The outbound flight was four hours late leaving, with no
explanation. The plane was fairly old and tatty, but clean and plenty of leg room. The cabin
staff were friendly and courteous. The food served was by far the most revolting meal I have
ever had. For some reason, the plane went straight to Djerba rather than stopping first at
Monastir, which was great for us and the other 8 passengers going ot Djerba, but not so good
for the majority of people who were expecting the first stop to be Monastir! There was no
explanation for this. The return flight was on time, and on a much newer plane, again with
lovely cabin staff. To our horror, the same meal was served as on the outbound journey.

Paris Orly-Tunis return economy class. I didn't expect much from this airline. I bought my
ticket at the latest, at a very cheap price of 200euros return. The service was superb, 6
cabin crew on A320 (usually only 4), very attentive, friendly, courteous. The food was nice
and plentiful. The legroom was enough. Tunis airport is the easiest airport I travelled
through so far.

Lisbon-Tunis-Lisbon : my flights with Tunisair were awful. The planes were very dated
A300-600, plane was dirty including our seats, toilets were smelly too. Food was reasonable,
but most of my family didn't like it. Cabin staff not friendly at all. Unfortunately I thought
it was better to fly Tunisair rather than a charter company - now I truly regret my choice.

Frankfurt - Tunis return. Very friendly staff, speak 3 languages. They took care for my son
and offered him some gifts. Very good Tunisian meal - café, tea, juice, soft drinks, beer etc,
in addition to newspapers for free.

Old A320, not the cleanest one, small seating space. Poor customer service hotline and finally
their website is almost useless. I couldn't pay for the trip online so I had to call the
customer service and I wish I didn't - they hang up on me many times, the operators are not
polite. Crew is fine, nothing exceptional. In a nutshell I don't recommend it.

LHR-TUN economy. Very fast check in, no queues - probably hit Heathrow at quiet period.
Flights on time with clean modern aircraft. A319/320 comfortable seating with adequate leg
room. Tasty hot meal both directions with complimentary beer/wine. Crew friendly and could not
fault any aspect of the flight.

London-Tunis return on new A318 aircraft. Seating good, hot meals both ways, cabin crew
friendly - overall pleasant experience. Tuesday flights are preferable to weekend ones and are cheaper too!

TUN-FRA on a 737-600. Very good experience. Although the flight time was relatively short,
Tunisair served a hot meal and complimentary wine. Altogether much better service than for
example German carriers offer on similar routes. Best of all: the flight was considerably cheaper.

VIE-TUN. Boeing 737-600 looked tired but inflight service excellent for a 2 hour flight. Flight
attendants friendly. It is a shame that Tunisair does not keep its planes tidy and clean.

LHR-TUN-LHR. I fly to Tunisia 2 or 3 times a year and don't see anything wrong with Tunisair. The
aircraft (A320 both ways) was spotless, staff extremely pleasant and the food (both ways) was lovely
- at least they serve proper meals, which is more than GB Airways have done for years! We even had
a choice of meals. Both flights were punctual and arrived early into Tunis Carthage airport.
My only gripe is that the fares can be a bit pricey sometimes, but if they're not the cheapest, I
use another carrier!

MXP-DJE return. Airbus 320 were pretty old. The seat pitch was OK. The
staff was efficient and friendly. Lunch wasn't very good - breakfast
was good. Both flights were on time.

Have travelled on TU about 4 times from London to Tunis, generally on time and operated by
A320 aircraft. The legroom is ok for a 3 hour flight but food is poor. Cabin crew are ok but
dont seem to smile much or show any real interest. The majority of there A320's are getting on a bit
as this shows by the minor defects like seats and food trays. If you travel at the right time you can get some
great fares on Tunis Air but at peak times like Christmas, New Year and other religous festivals it
is very expensive for what it is.

BCN-TUN-BCN on Economy. Flight was punctual on both legs. The plane was
a relatively old Airbus 320. Cabin announcements in Spanish, Arabic and
French. A full meal was served in the outbound flight, and a breakfast
on the return flight, which were very tasty. Staff didn't seem to be
very motivated but were efficient in all cases.

GVA-TUN-GVA. Tunisair has a virtual monopoly on this route and it shows.
There was nothing wrong with the flight - everything was on time, but
the personnel on board showed no enthusiasm whatsoever for what they
were doing. As an example, the pre-flight briefings were delivered in
such an indifferent manner (in Arabic and French) that absolutely no-one
could be bothered paying attention. Legroom is very minimal, just about
OK for a 1 1/2 hour flight but not for longer (plane was an A320). Plane
is a little tatty inside with no effort to repair minor deficiencies.

Lisbon-Tunis-Lisbon. Good plane, comfortable seats, food okay, cabin
crew not very smiley but do the job. Outbound with delay of 3h30m with
no explanation neither in the airport nor onboard. We were forced to
wait next to the boarding gate, but we were served a sandwich and drink
of our choice. The flight was okay, a new and clean Airbus, onboard crew
okay. Overall classification - acceptable.

LHR-TUN return. Outbound experience was a complete nightmare. Terminal
2 at LHR is a joke. Arrived at check-in 2hrs 20 mins before departure
and queued for 1hr 15mins to be served. TU are handled by Air France who
handle other airlines in T2. Only 2 check-in desks were open for the
bank holiday weekend/half term week. When we did manage to check-in my
party of 6 were split up although I had pre-assigned seats on the TU
website when I made the reservation in January this year. Called TU
reservations in London 2 days before to reconfirm my assigned seats.
Flight was delayed 1 hour due to the late arrival of the aircraft from
Tunis. TV departure screens displayed boarding so all passengers went to
the gate on time and were then told about the delay and could not leave
the gate area. The actual flight was very uneventful. Staff were rude
and seemed extremely stressed. One stewardess actually pushed a child
out the way who was in the aisle. My nephew had a child meal. The tray
arrived with a NLML sticker on it (which is actually a Non Lacto Meal).
Regular meal was pretty bad on a tiny tray. I opted for the chicken hot
which was bland and for some reason was coated in egg/omelette style
coating!? Asked for a cup of tea at the appropriate time and got coffee.
Stewardess realised mistake, shrugged shoulders and walked off. Never
got the tea! Had a quarter bottle of local white wine with the meal but
it was off and tasted like vinegar (didn't bother asking for another
one). Return flight was more successful. Managed to get Business Class
seats for us although we were separated but this didn't matter. Flight
was an all economy service although there was a business class section.
Seat was comfortable but not sure I'd pay for it. Last minute gate
change at Tunis without any announcements. Boarding was a bit chaotic
with families first then supposedly rear seats followed by forward
seats. Could not believe the meal! Was expecting a hot meal on a tray
but was given a plastic packed Tuna sandwich (no choice)... No tray
either so no napkin, no cake/salad not even a cup for tea/coffee. GB
Airways last year were much better - just a shame they don't fly out
from LHR! Anything good to say about TU?? Book in advance and you could
get a really good fare. I paid Ł105 rtn including tax

LHR-TUN-LHR. Ground arrangements couldn't have been better at LHR. On
board, the baby bassinet which we ordered before hand was not available
despite assurances at check-in. Cabins could have been cleaner. Seats
were in a state od disrepair and uncomfortable. Luckily, it was a short
flight. Crew could smile a bit more, but seemed intent on shoving the
food trays on our laps and head back to their galley hide-out. Return
flight was erratic. Despite booking the front row seats with baby
bassinet, we were informed at check-in that these seats were not
available. Onboard, three able bodied adults were sat on on side and the
other seats were empty and so we decided to park our selves there. This
wasn't very acceptable with the crew but we persevered and won. Logic?
Food was generally OK. Unfortunately, it's the only direct flight to
Tunis from Heathrow. I am inclined to travel to Gatwick next time and
try out GB Airways.

TU is the bargain carrier between BEY and DXP and it shows. Outbound ex
BEY on TU833 on 28 March '06 Y class. My comments mirror Peter's
comments from '04, posted below. Flight arrived on time ex Tunis, well-
handeled on the ground by MEA, boarded ontime and arrived in DXB early.
Bags arrived. Good. However, onboard you realize why it's cheap. The
Airbus was dirty, seats were broken, toilets in disrepair and untidy. No
sevice whatsoever for the frist hr of light. Then a dinner service (at
4:30am DXB time!?). Same comments as Peter except that there was no
choice of unappetizing, tough meat dishes!). At one point I was
standing in the aisle and a female fllight attendant approached me from
the rear and shoved me into my seat. No "excuzez moi", or anything! (A
first for me in over 25 years of international travel) I yelled at her
in Arabic and all I got was a Gaullic shrug in response. the lights
were kept on full force until they finished Duty Free sales. In-flight
entertainment was watching the progression on the little o/h monitors.
At least it induced sleep! Smiles not returned by the flight crew.
Return flight TU834 on 2 April, '06 was better - slightly. Poor check-
in procedures by local agent kept many of us waiting endlessly while
they dealt with a costomer who seemed not to want to pay for his many
extra bags. Thus no time DXB duty free shopping, despite being at the
check-in 2hrs early. . Better plane this time, , friendlier crew - but
not by much. Better food, but no doubt catered in DXB. Don't waste
your money on C class. Seats can't be any wider than Y class, and in Y
class the armrests fold up so you can get some extra hip and elbow room,
and even stretch out if you are in an empty row. BTW, still no English
newspapers, and only a few flight crew even attempt to speak it. The
flight announcements seemed to be learned by rote, and not really
understood. Anyway, its cheap.
