“Pleasant surprise”

Sali Z.
10/23/19

I flied with Volotea for the first time in September, from Italy to Greece and back. I didn't have big expectations as the flights were almost ridiculously cheap, even though it was still high season. What I got was a very pleasant surprise: the airline was punctual, and the crew on board was very nice and courteous (this is starting to become a rarity nowadays). I would definitely fly Volotea again. I hope they will expand their destinations in the future. My experience with them was very positive.

“Thieves with a logo”

Flight Athens (ATH) -> Heraklion (HER) They grab your credit card details when you book for a flight, and then every month they charge you for 50 euros. Apparently when you download the tickets from their website you are subscribed to some megavolotea membership automatically. The only alternative is to print the tickets on airport (20+ euros), but they don't have desks on all airports, and you can't find out before visiting the airport. And if that was not enough, the plane had 1.5 hour delay. Flight Heraklion (HER) -> Athens (Ath) Another friend had an even worse experience, the plane never came, they were not informed, only after the departure time... and he only got refund for 1 of the 3 tickets he had booked, after 3 months... This company is common thieves, nothing better.

Beware of this airline. Very dishonest. Used my credit card for annual subscription without authorisation or request from me.

I was physically assaulted by two employees of Volotea Airlines in Palma de Mallorca airport in Spain and denied boarding when I didn't want to pay an illegal extra fee of 50 Euros for my cabin bag. My cabin bag was in the accepted range of their company's regulations and was free of charge (My bag is (40x19x15)cm and Volotea allowed cabin baggage is (40x30x20)cm). These Volotea employees didn't speak good English and yelled at me and shoved me around saying PAY or GO, PAY or GO! I told them to call the police because I wanted to complain about it. They didn't call the police and said there's no way I could get on this flight unless I pay. Even though I didn't understand Spanish, they were shouting in Spanish and pushing and shoving me like two Gestapo Nazi police officers. I am sorry to say, but even animals are more civilized than these two women. They were extremely rude and physical, and I am a woman with 1.55 cm body height. It wasn't called for.
I waited there for 30 minutes and the plane was about to take off, and they were still not letting me go. They deliberately wanted me to miss the plane. I had a connecting flight to Sardinia and I couldn't miss the plane, so I had to pay. Even though I paid the fee, they didn't let my cabin bag to stay in the cabin, so I almost missed my flight to Sardinia. I flew all over the world with the same little cabin bag and this was the first time something like this happened to me. In that same trip I carried the same cabin bag with 4 different airlines (Ryanair, Pegasus, Blueair, Turkish Airlines) and I have the tickets to prove it. I complained to the company about the incident and also asked for a refund but they said there's nothing they can do. This was completely illegal action. Worst Airline Ever!
