BlueBird Airways reviews
The company has been operating flights to Russia since 2010. From the many reviews left by travelers, one can judge all the pros and cons of Blue Bird Airways.
One of the major shortcomings is an uninformative site. There is no booking service and pre-registration for flights. There is no information about discounts and promotions.
Positive side - polite and attentive staff. Flight attendants are fluent in English. Some flights are accompanied by Russian-speaking staff.
Flight delays are extremely rare. The most common cause is airport service errors.
All passengers speak positively about the meals on board. Large portions, a varied and tasty menu of fresh products, a rich selection of juices. Alcoholic drinks are also served.
Budget costtickets more than makes up for the shortcomings. Prices on other airlines are at least 100 euros higher.
