Good day to all!

Today I want to tell you about my experience of flying with the airline. NordWind. We flew with this airline because we were buying a tour to the Dominican Republic and had no choice about who to fly with. And since booking tickets and hotels on your own is more expensive package tour, then we settled on it, although we have not flown through tour operators for quite some time. We flew from the Pegasus company. Well, let's start from the very beginning, I tried to get through electronic registration for the flight and was surprised to discover that all places (absolutely all) are paid. Prices range from 2000 to 7500 per seat, depending on its convenience. This was my first time encountering this, but I decided that paying for seats that you should be seated in for free was absurd. As a result, when we flew there, my husband and I were seated in those “trump seats” near the emergency exit, where we could stretch our legs. Then many came up and asked how much we paid extra for them, it turns out we had to pay an extra 7500 rubles for them, so we are pretty lucky, I thought then, but it was too early to draw conclusions. People began to walk around the cabin of the plane to be seated together, since they were seated at different ends. When we had already arrived in the Dominican Republic and Pegasus was taking us by bus to the hotel, we were immediately offered to book seats on the return plane, of course not for free, arguing that we could then sit at different ends of the plane and it would be better to immediately choose seats next to each other. In general, NordWind is a whole chain of surcharges for any reason. By the way, we actually flew back separately, though one after the other. And there was also a problem with the seating of passengers; they were looking for a seat among those available, since several people were seated in the same seats.

For almost 12 hours of flight, they feed you only once; if you want to eat again, then pay money. Of course, I understand everything, but it seems to me that they should feed you at least 2 times, as other airlines do. Some airlines serve 2 meals in 8 hours. And in addition, the amount of food was not calculated at all and there was no reserve, for example, on the way back, I ran out of chicken and they began to distribute the remaining fish to everyone, and the stewards managed to get through less than half of the plane. The food is pretty good, you can eat it. For example, I show the diet: fish and rice, 2 buns (I really don’t understand why there are two of them), butter, potato salad, pirozhenko.

There is no alcohol on board, not even wine or beer, that is, everything is strict, only juices and water. Moreover, the juices also run out towards the end of the flight and they are no longer poured into two glasses so that there is enough for everyone.

There were televisions in the cabin, but when we flew there there were no headphones and probably we just had to buy them. But there is no point in buying, since all the films are in English, Chinese and French, and this is in Russian airline, in general, the logic is not very clear to me. On the way back, the TVs did not work at all, that is, they simply did not turn on.

Baggage.

This airline allows 20 kg. per person for one suitcase. This is the first time I’ve encountered this, that is, one suitcase cannot weigh more than 20 kg, even if there are 10 of you with one suitcase. That is, in total you can carry 200 kg, but only 20 kg in your suitcase. There are quite large fines for overweight., so at the airport a show begins to see who is carrying how much and how much needs to be transferred. Everyone weighs their suitcases on scales before checking in, it’s good that there are free places where you can weigh them. But you get additional stress, and crazies and cries of people are heard from all sides.

The plane itself is quite fresh, the seats are tolerable, you can even sleep a little, although there is little space between the seats and the seats themselves are not very comfortable.

And of course, don’t expect any additional bells and whistles in the form of cosmetic bags with toothbrushes, sleep masks and slippers, chair pillows, etc. The blankets run out instantly and those who are late are left without a blanket. But in general, the impression from the airline was not very pleasant; after all, taking money for absolutely everything that is possible and impossible, I think is overkill. It’s good that air on the plane is free for now, but I won’t be surprised that they’ll fix that soon too. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to choose another airline, I advise you to do just that. Still, you don’t want to fly for a long time without food, at different ends of the plane, and even pay extra for luggage when leaving. And it is advisable to start your vacation on a positive note.
