So many changes on the hour of the flight and the departure airport
FlyBondi canceled my flight a week in advance for no reason. It was the start of the winter holiday season in Argentina so there was no availability on any airline that day. I was able to find a flight out on a different airline the next day for much more than I'd paid FlyBondi. When I arrived in Salta, I mentioned the story to the car rental guy at the airport and he shrugged and said "FlyBondi? They're a very unreliable airline"
I have traveled with low cost carriers and they have generally been OK, especially considering the cost advantage. Flybondi is terrible. I flew twice (Buenos Aires-Iguazu and RIo-Iguazu). Boarding was like herding cattle. No regard for tired passengers. Staff was rude, always telling travelers what they could *not* do, hardly ever helpful. In my first flight the air flow on top of the seats did not work and the whole airplane had a bad smell (because of that?). The space between rows of seats was the smallest I ever experience. It did not help that the seat did not recline. Second flight had a very bumpy takeoff and even more bumpy landing (or whatever is the opposite of smooth - abrupt?). On the return (3 and 1/2) ride they did not even offer food or drinks for a price (as they did on the first). You had to go to the back of the plane and request a cup of water if you wanted to drink anything. In sum, they reminded you every moment that this was not supposed to be a regular (pleasant) flight experience. Avoid it as much as possible.
Todo el viaje fue de atraso en atraso, mucha gente perdió excursiones por los atrasos, salimos más de 4 horas tarde , el personal fue bueno , pero el servicio de informacion muy malo
Extreme budget airline. Boarded one hour before flight to sit in a steaming hot plane with no ventilation or a/c. Seats extremely tight. No food or beverage offered during flight.
The truth is that everything turned out perfect very well.
The check in crew was very friendly and efficient. Everything following reflected poorly on the company. Their exit row policy is laughably terrible. I was instructed I was not allowed to use any headphones, I was not allowed to store any luggage at all under the seat in front of me. I was not allowed to keep anything with me at all actually - it all was required to be in the overhead bin (difficult when in the window seat). And then was inexplicably woken up and told I was not allowed to sleep in the exit row either. So no book/reading, no headphones, no entertainment, and not allowed to sleep (in a non-reclining exit seat, of course). It takes a lot to annoy me normally - but this made the cut.
Bondi Air changed the departure time to 9 hours latter and would not do anything to help me. I ended flying with another carrier.
After we got to our hotel from Jorge Newberry airport, I realized my Apple AirTag was stolen, and my Belkin power bank charger was also stolen from my luggage. This was initially a carry-on bag due to the items in my bag, and I was forced to check in the bag at the counter and then to Discover things were stolen from my bag once it arrived back at the airport. I was very disappointed in this airlines for this reason, and I will never fly them again due to theft.
On board Flybondi flights, cabin baggage should not exceed 55x45x25cm. If your hand luggage is bigger, the Flybondi assistance team will most likely ask you to pay extra for checked luggage.
