We flew Sun Express last night. It was a T.C. Flight Sub-contracted to Sun Express. Never flown with them before. I thought I would give them a review.
Arrived at Aberdeen Airport. 3 hours before the flight was due to leave. As usual huge queues as you cannot pre-book anything when T.C. sub-contract. Queue was in two parts and being controlled by
Airport Staff so as not to block the main entrance. After 30 minute in queue family of four in front were joined by the Father who seemed to be seeing them off. He then went to the front of the queue and started speaking to the check-in staff. Next thing he came up to the family and told them he had got them extra-legroom seats and needed their passports, to book the seats, but they would still have to wait in the queue to check-in. He then went back and held up the queue again by pushing in front. He came back truimphantly with the ticket and handed them over. I was amazed that an Airline would do this!! Sun Express do not charge for extra-legroom seats. After another 30 minutes we got to the check-in. So 1 hour's wait. Of course, all the leg room seats had gone as the girl explained they only have 6 on these flights. No one weighed the hand luggage and we noted one of the family in front of us had two pieces.
The interior of the plane was old but clean, no T.V.'s but a bit more leg room than T.C. We sat in seats in row 12. Flight attendants came around with drinks. At row 11 no Vodka no Cider ( I watched the woman asking and the girl had never heard of cider) They had gin but no tonic. By row 13 there was no beer, they kept offering wine. So, the drinks situation was bad and a lot of people were complaining. No food either, just crisps and some biscuits. (Luckily we had thought this would be the case and we ate at the Airport. £24.00 for two chicken burgers and two coffees).
The flight attendants came around twice with drinks and also twice flogging booze and cigarettes. Apart from that it they dimmed the lights and let everyone sleep.
I would say this Airline is not as good as Monarch, Free Bird or Pegasus.
I might add we paid £748.00 for pleasure of booking these return flights.
