Flight attendants were very professional. Seats for long flights are horrible.
I don’t know how international flights can’t have media screens to keep people entertained for the long flight. Ugh.
Typical experience for budget airline. Boarding from KEF required bus transit from the gate to plane, so if you had "priority boarding" it was useless as it was simply a free-for-all when getting off the bus. But still no issues with getting our luggage into overhead bin so not really a problem.
Was very apprehensive about flying Play, but the flight was fine. Nothing special, nothing horrible. Fair price to get from New York to Iceland.
I wasn’t able to check in online the day before or the day of because their web configuration or business model idk. I arrived an hour early and check was closed and there was no one around to speak to and eventually was told there was no possible way to get a digital ticket despite I had no luggage to check and would have easily made it through security to boarding and had to pay for a new ticket for $330 ontop of the $169 I spend for the ticket and then I missed my rental car for $305 because I only arrived at midnight instead of noon that I was originally intended. All booked through kayak. I hope there is some kind of insurance from kayak because this was totally preventable had I not been blocked by play air from getting my check in and plane ticket.
The staff was very professional, the places very clean. The legroom was a little bit tight but so worth the price of the flight. Very pleased! Next time, I want to book a stayover to explore Iceland :)
The boarding process was easy, the crew was friendly and the flight was very smooth. There is a limited menu the food was tasty, but you have to purchase everything. The cost of the flight was very reasonable but everything such as baggage is extra.
Play is a great budget airline. There are no TVs or chargers in the seat but there was more legroom than expected. Boarding and all staff that I interacted with were great. You have to pay for any and all drinks or snacks you might want on flight.

Blood sucker budgeted airline. Charging after and after. No one should busy air ticket in this airline. Completely a scam and sucking blood.
The cabin crew very kindly arranged a change of seats for us due to a distressed passenger
They were having “flow control “ issues in Boston per the overhead announcement by flight staff. So they boarded us, had us sit for several minutes l, then made their flow control delay announcement. Then pushed away and went and parked the plane with us on it, outlying of the way…. Were we darker for 1.5 more hours. 1625 departure became 1810, avoidably lengthening everyone’s trip, messing up connections and ground transportation for arrival. Poor.
Not lose my luggage! The snack offered wasn't edible. It tasted like weird processed food. I spit out the one bite I did take.
Flight was on time, cabin was clean, staff was pleasant
We originally booked thru Kayak to and it showed a Lufthansa flight (same time as said United flight we actually took). (Newark, USA to Nice, France) After booking thru kayak a third party emailed us (chatdeal). Chat deal stated on the email the flight is thru Air Canada. Which is not what we picked. Same flight times on both We were confirmed for the flight as per customer service (chat deal) on a late night call at 3:00am local time that we are in fact confirmed thru air Canada. When we got to the gate, air Canada no where to be found it is thru United. I checked multiple travelers who booked their flight is was always a United airlines flight. Never a air Canada flight Why did kayak switch us over to a third party and why did our flight we originally picked thru Lufthansa change over to air Canada (after payment) only to be on a United airlines flight Note now that our return flight on Saturday is coming up, we have no confirmation from either United or air Canada (which shows up on kayak/ chatdeal invoice)
Air Canada changed the flight times of my flights several times in the months leading up to my travel date, making my layover and departure times way worse than the original tickets I purchased. Then on the actual travel days 3 out of my 4 flights were significantly delayed. When I asked customer service to try and find me a better connecting flight, they quoted the contract at me that states my ticket gets me there but doesn't require adherance to the original times, and they were unwilling to try and help. I also asked them to waive my baggage fee, which according to their online calculator qouted me a free checked bag, but then at check in I had to pay to check a bag both ways. All in all the expeience felt like Air Canada was scrambling to provide flights and then unwilling to try and easy the sting of the significant inconvenience it created.
Over an hour to check baggage. Baggage lost for over 3 days but was found and delivered to second hotel while on International tour. Seats were a tight fit when three people seated, On Air Canada Rouge plane no food and limited snacks. Air Canada plane better seats and snacks and food provided which was good.. Delayed ,Canceled flight and lost luggage experience, thus not a great rating.
Preferred economy seats get more legroom but are still not very supportive and not wide. Also no protection from hands and feet of the person/child behind hitting the seat back.
Seats are too close together. I'm 5'8" and could not sit comfortable the entire flight. I will not book Rouge again because of the leg room.
Not to long of a trip, crew where very good.
Very comfortable, good hospitality, staff very helpful. Good Indian food . Had a peaceful sleep throughout
