Azul Airlines

BEL-MAO Flying a brand new Embraer jet plane comfortable at best! Onboard service very consistent TV on board free snacks comfort seat available for purchase flight on time. This flight was bargain but Azul is becoming pricier these days. Would fly them again.

Flew VCP-GIG-VCP and VCP-IGU-VCP. Very nice check-in staff. They even located an agent that spoke English to assist me with my flight. All segments left timely or early. All planes were well maintained. Flight attendants were friendly and professional. Unlimited snacks and drinks offered. Baggage delivered very fast. My only other comment is that all in-flight announcements were in Portuguese. However I found most flight attendants did speak some English and were eager to assist. US airlines could learn from Azul on how to provide good and friendly customer service!

AD 4313/4002 SJP-VCP-SDU. Brand new AT7 on SJP-VCP sector and E90 on the VCP SDU sector that included live TV adequate legroom and seat width free snacks served by smiling welcoming crews. Both flights left and arrived on time not even 15 minutes delays unusual by most standards anywhere. Luggage (no charges too) was delivered shortly after we were inside the terminal.

Round trip from Porto Alegre (POA) to Curitiba (CWB). Surprised with the high quality of services offered knowing it is a low-cost carrier. I spent R$240 (US$120) for the trip including all taxes. Check-in was very fast less than 5 minutes the plane was always on time and we arrived 20 minutes earlier than scheduled (on both legs). The plane an Embraer E195 (in both legs) was pretty quiet and Azul offered TV in real time with a lot of channels. Very clean and I liked the scheme 2-2 seats. Snacks (4 options) and drinks (5 options) offered FA's were polite and friendly. I will certainly fly Azul again.

FOR-REC v.v. with Azul. Very convenient great 2/2-seater (195) 20 channels of TV. "Azul Espaco" brings more leg space for Euro 8 stewardesses professional and all on time. Outperforms many European airlines easily.

CNF-GRU on a E-195 pretty good quick flight and came with a simple snack very expensive due to holiday dates I also had an extra space seat which was pretty comfortable didn't want it but it was the only seat left available.

Ribeirao Preto to Belo Horizonte (Confins). I flew with them earlier today and was extremely impressed. I arrived at the small airport (RAO) early and got to watch 3 flights leave before mine. My flight pushed off on schedule. The flight was one of their new turboprops but it was very smooth and quiet even compared to most jet flights I have taken. Arrived 15 minutes early. Plenty of legroom. Drinks and snacks distributed promptly and efficiently. Staff very friendly. Check-in was extremely fast. Flight had no IFE but I'm pretty sure all their longer flights do (RAO-CNF is only 80 mins). One quick note. If you don't have a credit card issued in Brazil online booking or telephone booking probably not an option. Depending on your situation either swing by the airport to pay in person or book through a travel agency.

Porte Alegre - Fortaleza (through Campinas): all flights cancelled in Porte Alegre due to fog in Campinas: that can happen but Azul had no idea how to organize this. They first had us wait 4 hours saying we would be on the next plane but a lie: no planes coming-in/going-out. They had no idea when we could fly and they just sent us away: "maybe in 2 or 3 days try tomorrow". Their hub in Campinas is total chaos. Only good thing is their planes are nice 2-2 seaters but that does not compensate their chaos. Don't be fooled by their cheaper rates: is not worth the delays and other mess.

SDU-POA-SDU. Flights on time free snacks and beverages courteous and attentive cabin crew comfortable leather seats. No complaints at all would definitely fly AZUL again.

VCP-SJP. Although its a LCC its no nonsense approach makes it a good choice. No hidden fees no charges for beverages snacks and luggage. Check-in was fast and easy. Boarding was hassle free although VCP has no bridges and it took 10 minutes by bus to arrive at the remote position of the brand new ATR 72-600. Plane was clean and cabin crew welcoming and very courteous. Doors were closed at 18.50 and plane took off at 19.10 slightly behind schedule. Captain made announcements before take-off and came back before landing with more information. Arrival was on time. I certainly recommend Azul.
