airBaltic

They delayed our flight a couple of hours then re routed our direct Frankfurt-Moscow flight to Kiev without any warning! Made us stay on the plane in Kiev for about 3 hours while they were putting unknown cargo on the plane - it's incomprehensible how they get away with it. Our flight finally arrived to Moscow about 8 hours late. I will never fly this airline!

RIX-ATH-RIX. Both flights on time good service and responsive cabin crew. Fast check-in in RIX check-in in ATH could be more faster. Good value for money if booked in advance.

HEL-RIX-ATH on B737-300. Both flights packed but on time and service was good by young & motivated crew. The pre-booked chicken meal was good. Not much legroom but expected. The return flight cancelled due to technical fault but their agent arranged hotels and meals quickly. We managed to avoid this and got return flights with another carrier the same night.

Second time this happened to me. When booking flight in Air Baltic page entering to payment page site threw me out unexpectedly with error message. Starting over again the price increased by 10%! After earlier incident I called them and there was a non-hesitant answer that prices are updated continuously. This makes me to believe that once I have decided to make purchase from them I will not turn away because of small increase. Neat way to increase clean profit.

Very unfriendly ground staff in Vilnius airport. Hand baggage rules are followed up to harassment. Constant delays and not very cheap if not booked early.

The only airline I've flown where the cost for my luggage (30 Euros per Kg of weight over the first 20 kg for each leg of my flight) cost more than my ticket. I paid over $700 of luggage cost from Vilnius to Paris. This is exorbitant. I will never fly this airline again. If they had just suggested I pay more to upgrade to business class which has a bigger baggage allowance I could have overall paid far less and travelled more comfortably.

I have flown with them several times. Far the biggest problem is changing schedule they have the right to cancel your flight up to 2 months before flight after that they have to find a replacement flight. Well 2 months ahead you don't really find any flights which are less than 2 times expensive than the original booking. Beware of baggage restrictions they check this without any tolerance. Food onboard is below every expectations and should be avoided. The plus part is well maintained and clean planes fast connection good space on Q400 and 757 the rest are ok. Forget about changing any tickets additional services and insurance the cheapest way always with them is cancellation. If you plan your trip well ahead it's worth it. If you go for comfort and stability its not your choice.

Horrible horrible service. They don't care at all for their customers. My flight from Stockholm to Riga was delayed and a subsequent connection to Hamburg was not possible so they got me a place to stay (as expected). Then I changed my next flight to Düsseldorf (because all flights to Hamburg were being cancelled due to volcanic ash) and then my luggage did not arrive. I found out where it was (still in Riga) by contacting their third-party luggage operator before they did it themselves. Stay away from these low prices they are trouble.

Very poor value for money. Me and my wife took a flight from Amsterdam to Tel Aviv with a stop at Riga. Air Baltic charged us EUR 30 per piece of baggage for Amsterdam-Riga and EUR 30 per piece of baggage from Riga to Tel Aviv. In total it added another EUR 120 to our costs for our flight to Tel Aviv. Another EUR 120 was charged when we got back the same way. I would stay clear from Air Baltic.

I booked a flight from Moscow to Warsaw via Riga on April 25th. The night before I tried to check in and having put in my flight locator number I was informed it was not possible to checkin online from that location and a list of cities were listed where it was possible to check-in from and yes Moscow wasn't on the list. The next day I arrived at the Domodedovo airport at 12 noon for my 1450 flight and discovered that my flight wasn't even listed. I found the Air Baltic counter and produced my e-ticket and I was informed via a computer printout that my flight was now leaving at 2245 via the Sheremetyevo Airport and that flight would arrive in Riga at 2330. This was the first I'd heard of any change so you can imagine my horror. The lady at the counter was no help as she couldn't speak English. There was no way I could catch my connecting flight to Warsaw that day and apparently Air Baltic was quite happy with the thought of having me sleep at the airport that night. Totally unimpressed with the customer service. They had my email details and didn't use them. It cost me 600 on another flight to get to Warsaw. Never ever will Air Baltic receive my business again.
