Tunisian airlines baggage allowance. Nouvelair - "Good Airline"

Do you suddenly want to go to Tunisia? Then you can fly with NOUVELAIR airlines, on an A-320 aircraft from anywhere in Europe, and this is where your acquaintance with the small but most interesting country Tunisia.

Nouvelair Tunisia- this is African air company, which has successfully carved out its niche in the form of charters. Price category - inexpensive.

Our flight was from St. Petersburg, an information was posted on the Aeroflot website stating that you should arrive at check-in two hours in advance... it turned out to be three hours. And as usual, check-in for the flight ends exactly one hour before the plane departs.

The departure was delayed by 30 minutes, we were waiting for departure already on board the plane, going through all sorts of possible reasons why we didn’t leave the place... we didn’t get a response from the conductors, there was silence on the plane. None of us were notified that we were delayed.

But we made up for everything we missed on the road. We were almost not late for the Tunis airport. The flight took 4 hours 10 minutes.

FIRST IMPRESSION (not always deceiving):

The plane is not worn out, the first impression is pleasant, the layout of the seats is 3-3, the aisle between the seats is quite spacious. The chairs are comfortable, you can't cover your ears with your knees.

There is no business class.

The interior is tidy, but looking out the window, you see traces of other people's noses and mouths. Is someone kissing the window? Ooh

SECOND IMPRESSION (Surprised):

Here we must immediately move on to the neighbors, who sat at ease in their chairs very close by. I am the person with whom they either drop off children...or...

Very cheerful and relaxed, ready to make you laugh at any second. And we took up an observation post to have a lot of fun.)

For example, a neighbor sitting on the farthest side of the aisle easily drinks a strong drink, clearly not lower than 40 degrees. It's fun to see. And suddenly he gaped, ahah, and was caught by a flight attendant with a bottle in his hand, as a result of which, barely started, a liter of cheerful and strong alcohol was lost in favor of the audience. I’m sure they’ll finish it off and drink it later. And then the comrade became noticeably depressed.

At the same time, the neighbors in front of us, a very colorful trio of peasants, were careful, having previously diluted whiskey with Coca-Cola, and drank it quite legally. Moreover, two of them managed to drink too much until they were completely cut off, and the third began to openly wait for something else and sigh quietly.

And...*falsely surprised eyes* waited. I was very, very surprised by the Nouvelair airline, because on board the plane they gave out... champagne! The bubbles quickly hit the drinkers' heads. The fun continued.

Well, they fly to Tunisia, just like they fly to Turkey and other all-inclusive ones, to have a lot of fun.

Another surprise: On the return route on the plane, they gave me a small bottle of wine as a souvenir, I also grabbed it, so why refuse!). *Attributed later* - the wine turned out to be fusel wine, of very poor quality*

How many times I flew, everything was strict, you can’t smoke, drink, even threatening to send you down by parachute.

__________________________________________SERVICE:_____________________________________

Has a positive effect on my appetite. First they brought some water and dates in a plastic but interesting bowl. Then hot. Potatoes with meat, omelet, peppers, olives, separate salad, mayonnaise, donut bun, coffee/tea, water/juices. There was also delicious yogurt.

I was only surprised that the trays on which the flight attendants politely serve you food are not disposable. Strange.

EXPECT:

If you press that button on top, wanting to immediately call the flight attendants for something else... you will wait a long time, and the pressed button will shine with fire in your eyes. But no one cares about this. Everyone is busy.

They never approached us...and I just wanted to make sure they were okay to ask for water.

For just as long, everyone sat in their places, because there was no way out from behind the dismantled table, on which lay the remains of food... and crumbs.

For a long time the staff did not want to remove the dishes.

But in principle these are minor things, since they provide wine and champagne, you can forgive this trouble!).

LEARN LANGUAGE:

On board the plane, the flight attendants have difficulty pronouncing words in Russian, French yes, Tunisian please. They say something, and you write it down, you will arrive in the country as a polyglot - a know-it-all.

NISHTYACHKI:

1. As usual, waste paper is unnecessary, but out of boredom you can look through it and make sure that we are oversaturated with dutik, always thinking that we can snatch it even cheaper. (And in Letual there is a 50% discount!). Flight attendants, wandering around the cabin, politely offer goods from the store at discounted prices. How? Haven't you bought everything yet? Then you have one last chance! For example, a gift for a spouse, 50 ml cost: $15. But I always don’t save money, I bought it at exorbitant prices.

2. And also screens on top. You won't be able to click through the channels, you'll just watch where you fly and monitor the temperature there, outside. How fast are you moving? It's not boring...

Before arriving in Monastir, you are given forms on board the plane on which you write legibly, if you are sober of course, your full name, why you are here, and the passport details of the foreigner.

Then, with this form, go to passport control.

Good day, friends!

My review will be useful to those who are going to Tunisia.

I got a flight with this airline along with a tour from the Grand Express tour operator.

I’ll say right away: the plane flew there and back without delay , this is a significant PLUS.

Now more details.

Nouvelair Tunisie airline flies from Vnukovo airport (if the departure city is Moscow).

Flight BJ 401 (Moscow-Monastir).

Airbus A322. There were places where you could calmly place your legs, fortunately the distance between the chairs made it possible to do this.

These places are located at emergency exit and we personally got it completely free. Row 11,12,13 (ask to put it there).

Throughout the flight you can see which countries you are flying through thanks to special monitors:

They are located throughout the aircraft cabin. Very comfortably.

You can also find out how fast the plane is flying and at what altitude:

The food on board was as follows:

For a hot Tunisian national dish

Flight BJ 400 (Monastir-Moscow).

Exactly the same aircraft Airbus A322.

But this time we were less lucky. Not only were the two of us seated in different rows, although we asked to be seated together, but it was also the very back of the plane. Seats 27A and 28A.

The photo shows how the legs rest on the next chair.

Breakfast was like this:

To sum it up, I'll say that I like it this airline, first of all, because there were no delays in departure time.

The flight attendants don’t speak Russian, but that didn’t really bother them; sign language has never been canceled if you don’t know English)

If you are flying soon with Nouvelair Tunisie, I wish you a good flight and a soft landing!

The year the company was founded, which this moment in international registers it is listed under the codes BJ (in IATA) and LBT (in ICAO), is 1989. It was then that a subsidiary of the French air carrier Air Liberte settled in Tunisia. Its main purpose is charter flights between the African state and European countries, although the company also operates regular flights.

History of development

The active development of the airline began in 1995, when “ Travel Group» began to make investment “infusions” into the Tunisian carrier. But the real rise came in 1999 - at that time Airbus A320s appeared in the hangars (before that, crews flew exclusively on 2 small MD 83s). This allowed passenger turnover to exceed 1 million people already in the early 2000s.

The current name “Nouvelair Tunisie” was assigned to the air carrier in 2005. The following year, the company is issued ISO certification, then IATA conducts operational safety certification.

In 2009, bj Tunisian airline receives a certificate from Afnor high quality service, flight safety and information transparency. The airline has not yet been included in the SkyTrax ratings, despite the fact that the company has received prestigious certificates from organizations such as ISO, IOSA, EASA, and IATA over its history.

Although the airline Nouvelair Tunisie specializes more in charter flights, this does not prevent it from becoming the second most important company in the country, losing the championship to Tunisair. The air carrier actively cooperates with the following global tourism operators:

• "KARAVEL-PROMOVACANCES",
• "SUNSHINE HOLIDAY"
• "TUI".

African Air Company Nouvelair Tunisia its work is focused primarily on organizing charter flights from various European cities (mainly tourist) to resorts Mediterranean coast in Tunisia. It is interesting that such a rather narrow career guidance of the company did not at all prevent it from becoming the second largest carrier in the country. Nouvelair Tunis is second only to the national air company Tunisair in terms of the scope of its operations, but it is famous for its special comfort and the highest safety standards.

This carrier was created back in 1989 as a subsidiary of the French company Air Liberte. Its start was rather low: the company began flying with just two leased MD 83 aircraft and several international routes. The situation began to slowly change for the better only in 1995, when part of the company’s shares were acquired by Travel Group. Good financial investments could not but leave a noticeable imprint on the further development of the company. It began to gradually gain power, reach the level of good profits and earn a positive reputation for itself. The peak of Nouvelair Tunisie's economic success came in 1999. It was at this time that the carrier's impressive dividends allowed it to purchase its first Airbus 320. And at the beginning of the 2000s, another significant event in the history of Nouvelair Tunisia was not long in coming: the company transported more than a million passengers.

This carrier entered the new millennium with no less zeal to gain new victories. As a result, over the next few years the company completely renewed its fleet, replacing several MD 83s with modern Airbuses. It also managed to emerge from under the wing of its “parent” and become an independent and self-sufficient airline.

Today, the African carrier places special emphasis on maintaining the highest level of safety for its fleet. The technical condition of all aircraft of the enterprise meets the best European quality standards. And all thanks to the fact that Nouvelair Tunisie entrusted the cleaning and technical service of its own aircraft to specialized organizations and companies that have certificates of compliance with accepted standards. Moreover, the airline itself "Nouvelleir Tunis" for her hard and fruitful work she was awarded important and prestigious certificates from many honorary air organizations, in particular IATA, IOSA, ISO and EASA.

Nowadays, this North African airline carries approximately 1.5 million passengers per year. Its headquarters are located in the city of Monastir, and its base hubs are located at the international airports of two largest cities countries - in Tunisia and Djerba.

Aviation market experts note the rather low cost of Nouvelair Tunisia flights, although the company itself does not position itself as a low-cost airline.

Aircraft fleet

The average age of these aircraft is far from the youngest and is approximately 12 years. It is likely that in the coming years Nouvelair Tunisie will carry out a large-scale modernization of its own fleet.

Flights

As mentioned above, the company is engaged in charter transportation to resorts in Tunisia. Thus, Nouvelleir Tunis connects about fifty European cities with the best resort towns of this African country. The carrier operates flights to approximately 130 airports. And it is important that it connects not only business centers and capitals with the African coast, but also many resort towns Old continent. Thus, its proposals will be of interest to all travelers who first want to get their fill of impressions on European resorts, and then go sunbathe in sultry Tunisia.
