Booking was ok but it was not an unusual experience. I can describe it at an ordinary doing. The price were ok but sometimes not understandable high prices for a few days.

Had to wait at the gate for about 50+min even tho on the ticket said that the boarding starts at 22.45. Cabin crew was professional but they acted like they didnt want to do their job. They just walked through with the cabin with their cart once basically not saying a word. Also in the middle of the flight the plane just basically fell out of the sky for a second and then the flight attendants didn't say anything what happened even when they came laughing back from the cockpit!

Worst airline with tiny non reclining seat and the stench of cigarettes nearly the entire flight.
Man spread his legs wider that any normal guy sitting on my seat, in my leg space and stole the entire arm rest. I repeatedly told him not to but he didn't give a flying fluck. The entire flight i endured this.
I cant believe all the staff noticed and said nothing. They saw everything and as women they should do something.
This is a controlling and dominant character with his thug homie in the back seat who hit my chair. Wonder why his girlfriend sitting next to him likes a bullying type of guy. Very controlling.

I need wheelchair for my mother and cannot book it!!!! It just doesnt work
ps I wrote an email, then the support soived the issue telling, my mother will get the chair to the cabin, we have just to come to the service point at the airport.
Reaction was quick, so I changed to three stars.
However, they should make it possible via their Web-portal.

Absolutely unacceptable experience with Freebird Airlines.
Our flight from Antalya to Chisinau had to turn back after departure because of a technical failure. Due to this disruption and delay, I lost my onward transportation and suffered financial losses.
Passengers were left stressed, exhausted, and without proper support or clear communication. A technical problem serious enough to force the aircraft to return raises major concerns about safety and maintenance standards.
I expect full compensation for the losses caused by this situation and a professional response from the airline. Travelers should not pay financially and emotionally for the airline’s technical failures.
Very disappointing experience.

Very bad flight. The worst chairs ever, no leg room at all, 30 degrees celcius the whole flight (3.5hr flight). Never again

A very nice and helpful staff. I fly from Antalya to Paderborn and I am impressed from one of the flight attendant, her name was Sultan. Thanks to her, me and my family had very comfortable and nice flight.
