Level

✅ Trip Verified | Barcelona to Oakland. I originally booked with this airline because of the good prices for the flights. But I now regret this decision after being delayed on our outward and return flights. After reviewing this airline on the internet I have come to realize that this seems to be a regular occurrence with this airline. In the future I will definitely avoid this airline.

✅ Trip Verified | Barcelona to Boston. Of all the cheap airlines I've flown, Level is the stingiest - you don't even get a cup of water to drink, let alone meals or snacks. Be sure to bring anything you want to eat or drink on a long flight, or be prepared to pay airport prices for food that's nearly indigestible. The dish called "chicken curry with rice" tasted like recycled paper. Cabin staff ignore you. We writhed in our seats trying to get comfortable but no luck sleeping on this long flight. On the positive side, our trans-Atlantic flight arrived half an hour early.

✅ Trip Verified | Vienna to Milan. They play with the delay, on both my routes they were late. VIE to MXP was late 2 hours 55 minutes, not surprisingly as EU rules say over 3 hours the company has to reimburse and compensate customers.

✅ Trip Verified | This was my first experience with Level / Iberia and it was the worst flying experience. The flight to Barcelona, unlike our return flight, was not completely terrible. Pros: we departed and arrived on time, our bags arrived intact, and the entertainment options onboard were great. The WiFi was mediocre, but that’s pretty common on most international flights. Cons: the flight attendants were hands down the rudest I have ever encountered. This is the only airline I have encountered that does not provide you with one glass of water on a 12 hour flight unless you request it and pay $5 for it. The return flight was a disaster. We arrived at the airport in Barcelona almost three hours before our departure time. We were unable to complete our check in online due to a computer error. We had a bag to check anyway, so we figured we’d just do it at the airport. However, when we arrived, the check in line was incredibly long and just got longer after our arrival. The line moved unbelievably slow. No one knew why. There were 5 attendants checking people in - all of them for our flight. They were each taking an average of 10 minutes to check in each party. After an hour of this and having hardly moved in the line, I went to front to find out what was going on and if we were going to make the flight. Found out that the computer error was universal and that no one could check in online. But the fact that this was not communicated to any of us in line made for a very tense situation. I was later told by another passenger in line that an attendant had told her they would hold the flight until everyone had checked in and gotten on board. But they never changed the flight departure time, and as it got increasingly closer to departure time, we all grew more and more worried. Add to this that the airport had poor air conditioning. After over 2.5 hours in line, we finally got checked in. The attendant told us that she hoped we made the flight, but to run, because it was departing in 10 minutes. And we still needed to get through security. So we ran. At the gate? “We are trying to hold the flight for you. Please hurry.” Once through, then wait in an shuttle bus with 40 sweating passengers to take you to another terminal to the plane. Rushed and pushed by employees and still left an hour late. Once on board, rude attendants unwilling to help with finding carryon space. Onboard no WiFi, completely broken. Freezing cold airplane, even with two sweatshirts on, but you could buy a $15 blanket if you wanted. Broken food ordering system. No one to collect trash. Then yelled at for leaving it on the floor. And they lost our luggage.

✅ Trip Verified | I was amazed by the prices - $280 round trip from Boston to Barcelona. However they have managed to charge me multiple times, and I will never fly with them again. First - I booked my flights on Level.com in January. I received confirmation, saw the appropriate charges on my credit card, no problem. Then four days later, a mysterious charge appeared on my card for $291 USD from Iberia with no associated ticket number. I called them, but they had no record of charging me this money and suggested I call my bank to have the charge reversed. I called my bank and they were able to get me the money back in a few weeks. Good thing I checked my statement carefully, but this is unacceptable. The day before departure, I decided to add a checked bag for $44 USD online. Got an email from LEVEL confirming that I had paid the baggage fee, and brought a copy of this email to the Boston airport. When I arrived, I was told that LEVEL could not honor this because the confirmation email that I had received didn't include a record number or barcode. They made me pay again, $55 this time, to check my bag. They told me they could not reimburse my original paid fee, and that I would need to speak with the Iberia agents in Barcelona. I tried to do that once I arrived, and they directed me to call LEVEL customer service and get it sorted out. I decided to wait until I returned from my vacation to get my money back. I went to check in online for my return flight to Boston, after receiving the standard 'time to check in' email. Except my booking said I couldn't check in online. Okay, whatever, I go to the airport and check in. When I arrive, I'm told that my ticket was suspended because I never paid for it! I pull up all of my confirmation emails, the check-in email, the listing on 'My Bookings' on the LEVEL website, and even my credit card statements. All of this this clearly demonstrates that I have booked and paid for this flight months ago, and was never told that there was any issue with my payment or anything. If I want to go home, I'll need to pay for this ticket again, at the same $140 (one-way) price plus a $25 fee for booking it at the airport. I am livid about this but I needed to get home, so I bite the bullet and pay for the same ticket again. As soon as I arrive back in Boston I get on the phone with them to get my money back. I am told that I need to call my bank and get the charge in January for the original ticket cancelled. This seems incredibly sketchy to me - why can't they refund me directly, given that they have plenty of documentation that I had paid for the original ticket?! They provide me with some documentation that the tickets were in fact suspended. So I call my bank. My bank is also shocked that Iberia is refusing to refund me directly, since there's no real dispute here - they charged my card, they issued me a confirmation, and then they didn't honor my ticket. However, thankfully they are able to open a dispute and I am hoping that with their help I'll be able to get my money back. I will avoid them like the plague from now on.

✅ Trip Verified | I have encountered multiple problems with Level's customer service. Their processing payment system is extremely delayed. I received no confirmation that a flight was booked until a transaction showed up on my credit card several days later. Save yourself the misery of being passed around by their customer service and the multiple calls you will have to make to hopefully get a refund. Excuses consist of “system isn’t working", " the supervisor is only here from 6am-3pm, "the supervisor is only here from 8am-3pm". I was sporadically hung up on. When I asked to review them. I was not given a website. I was told its too late for a refund. Even though I called in the 24 hour period. I booked a flight on 9/8 from EWR to Paris return. Two separate one way tickets for my boyfriend and I. Great deal $306 for both tickets per person. I did not receive a confirmation form my flight from EWR - ORY. I called Level for help. Their staff is all Spanish speaking. No one can quickly and concisely help you if you are speaking English. On 4/8/18 I called Iberia for help. A man instructed me that the purchase did not go through and to re purchase the ticket. I called my bank and confirmed that the purchase did not go through. I re purchased again. The man insured I would be reimbursed if the charge appeared on my account later. I repurchased the ticket through the man with Iberia. I Still did not receive confirmation that this ticket was purchased until 2 days later. If you use their website to confirm the booking - good luck by my tickets never showed up under “my booking”. This time two transactions showed up on my card 2 days later. April 13th two more charges appeared. I decided to cancel the flights on April 8th in the 24 hour period. I canceled because of the additional time and cost it would take to get from home city to EWR. This cancelation was made less than 12 hours form the original purchase. I called on 4/8/18. The man could only see one of the tickets purchased. He was supposed to cancel the flight with the purchase that went though. He said refund would be made in anywhere from 5-30 days? 5 - 30 days?! They should know when a refund will be made! It is APRIL 20th and I am still yet to receive a refund for the ticket from PARIS- EWR. For $314 dollars. I called on 4/18/18. Agent was able to help me get a refund for the $148 that appeared on my bank statement on April 13th. I received and email with the refund receipt that same day I called April 18th. However the refund was for the incorrect amount. I then received a random $97 from Iberia. The refund receipt has no details or information on it. So I do not know where this $97 dollars is coming from! I am awaiting a call from the supervisor to find out why I have not received this refund. I have never called probably 10 times. This is the most exhausting and frustrating process I have ever went though with a company.

✅ Trip Verified | Barcelona to Los Angeles. I was very impressed with Level. We flew to Barcelona on Norwegian and returned on Level. I think that they really got things right with Level. The flight was on-time. The cabin crew was friendly, elegantly dressed and service was excellent. As the result of a recent fall I have a fractured disk and the gate agent went out of his way to find a seat with more legroom and did not charge me although I would have been happy to pay for the upgrade. We did not order the meal service because the a la carte menu was excellent and fairly priced. In-flight entertainment was very good as well. The only negative I can think of for this flight was that the one hour of wifi that I ordered went down after 15 minutes so I will try to get a refund. Baggage handling was excellent. I will fly Level again next year as we hope to go back to Spain to visit family and I will recommend the airline to our friends and family in that country.
