I always fly with them from BUD to AYT, always clean, they spoke perfect English, we had a different menü which had hot meal (yeah I'm suprised after your video 😮), never delayed, once I forgot to book a ticket for 20kg and more and they didn't care 😂 They were sweet. The card thing is yeah, for me that was not a good point but nowadays most people don't use cash

Flew with them a few times no problems booked hot meal for 10.99 euros when purchasing ticket and was impressed by them came to my seat first with meal and others who bought them then done a trolley service there was in flight magazines in all seats 😊

It was the worst experience we had with this company. We had a flight from Dusseldorf Airport to the Turkish city of Adana with my husband and three young children. After a long wait and suffering, they told us that they had canceled the flight from Dusseldorf Airport and that you could take buses that would take you to Münster Airport, after we had also waited on the plane for a while. Two hours later, they told us that the flight was cancelled. You can return, but there was no information about the flight. 12 hours of torture and waiting with the children despite the extreme heat

I'm flying with sunexpress next week, I don't think I've done my anxiety any favours watching this video though, I appreciate the honesty though, im new to travelling so I have no expectations, I just want to get to Turkey safely and have a cocktail (or 2) on the beach

Sorry for making you more anxious😅 At the end of the day flying is still by far the safest mode of transportation, the standards are very high, so there is no reason to worry! Turkey is an amazing country, so look forward to your holiday and if you stay at an all inclusive resort maybe it will even be 3 or 4 cocktails at the beach (talking from my own experience😂). Enjoy!🤙

Good flight review, really good explained and good filming, everything included. I just dont like that they have these mini head- 'pillows' but they are like always missing i think but the official video of Sun express says it otherwise (These pillows that are present at 6:00), not nice.

Music is unrelated with Trabzon. Are you sure you visited Trabzon not Tripoli? Try to listen some Black Sea music.

When you said U got the impression that the safety regulations aren’t taken seriously that made me terrified because I am flying with them from UK to Antalya and I am a nervous anxious flyer. I do not care about customer service or comfort. I only care about safety 😢😢😢😢😢😢

@theRealJohnnyG. 6 ай бұрын

I can really understand that. Safety is also my number one priority. However flying remains one of the safest methods of travelling. The chance of something happening is very small. I know it's easier said then done but try to don't worry too much, everything will be fine. I hope you will have a great flight! :)

I booked a flight from Dublin to Antalya with Lufthansa. I flowing from Dublin to Frankfurt with Lufthansa airline from Frankfurt to Antalya with SunExpress. Very basic plane and the food it's very expensive. However on my return I tried to check-in online. It was the most stressful online checking-in. I had to check-in at the airport while I was charged a fee. I believe? They they made difficulties so to charge you more money.

Can I just point out that this whole review is false and unfair on Sunexpress. Here are the things he described inaccurately: Flight attendants not caring about safety or checking tray tables are closed and stuff like that. I flew with them very recently and numerous people were told of for this so this isn’t true. Another thing to point out is the lack of menus/inflight magazines he describes. All you need to is just ask for one it’s not hard honestly. He continues to talk about the fact there is no hot meals- it’s a two hour flight what do you. Expect ? He also talks about them cramming everyone into two busses and it resulting in angry jostles and shouts. I can confirm they DID cram us into two buses BUT it DID NOT result in angry jostles and shouting from passengers. Overall, I would say this review is deliberately unfair and malicious towards Sunexpress. When I went it was an amazing experience I urge others to ignore this review

@theRealJohnnyG. 5 ай бұрын

For example at 7:11 you can literally see the tray table being open with a bag on top of it and the flight attendant just "checking" the cabin for landing, completely ignoring it. I don't think that tose recorings can lie. Also on this fligh only had one single menu card for the entire cabin. They hand it to you when you ask and then they stand next to you to select. on the spot. Everything you select they will say "I no have" and when you ask what they do have it is literally just a cookie or salted peanuts. Having only two options from an actually quite decent domestic menu and then after handing out the snacks being told that it is cash only isn't really great in my opinion. If you watch my other videos you can see that I expect everything but luxury. I'm just documenting my flights.

Book a flight between the countries at the Persian Gulf and you will see getting warm meals on flight which take only one hour. This is a const factor nothing else but I would not expect that from a low cost airline like Sunexpress
