peanut Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Has anyone flown with them before and what are your opinions? I also find it hard to find any info on luggage - how much is allowed? Meals, I guess, you have to buy? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSoh Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Sorry it's Air Berlin not Berlin Air! You can find all your answers here.. http://www.airberlin.com/site/agb.php?LANG=eng&RMT=&POP=1 2.2.3 The baggage allowance for baggage checked in is 20 kg per passenger unless otherwise stipulated in special regulations 2.2.2 Cabin baggage must not weigh more than 6 kg without laptop (8 kg with laptop. The dimensions of hand baggage must not exceed the measurements of 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. On account of space restrictions and security, only one item of hand baggage per passenger is permitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygourmet Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I flew back with them last September... Direct flight from Dusseldorf to Bangkok for 220 euos -all inclusive-... Nearly the same price than my 1st class train ticket from Brussels to Dusseldorf Airport -nice & cozy airport by the way- They are very strict on baggage allowance... not even a few hundred grams more. Regarding the service on board, it's no frills and only a glass of wine or a can of beer with the meal... it was 5 euros for each extra glasses.

srs Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I used AirBerlin a couple of times on the route Bangkok - Duesseldorf. As lazygourmet said: no-frills service but if you get one of the low-priced tickets it is good value for money. No personal in-seat-entertainment, average legroom. They offer extra-legroom seat for - i think - 60 Euro!! oneway. One big plus is the one-way-pricing policy. You don't have to pay the same price for oneway or return like in most other airlines. Another big point: it feels very safe (and is 100% safe so far ;-) ). German high standard of security and maintenance. And the Sansibar Curry Sausage is very good too ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks all! Well 20 kilos and some food for that price is not too bad, on Air Asia you have to pay to get even 15 kilos and any food at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks all! Well 20 kilos and some food for that price is not too bad, on Air Asia you have to pay to get even 15 kilos and any food at all... Egypt air are cheap as well, I have been looking around the first week in June to LHR, and am getting quotes from their website of around 55,000 for 2 people. Checked Air Berlin and they are offering around 62,000baht, remember you also have to book your seat which is an additional 600baht per seat. And the Return has a long stopover in Dus.

thepanom Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I used air berlin from dusseldorf to bangkok, about 1.5 years ago, we had no problem with 22 kg each, leg space was not to big, food was very good, we got a beer and a wine free, the next one we had to pay, all together for this price, good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stopover actually seems to depend on the date - on some days it's only 1 hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if you are traveling with someone and you don't book in advance, you could be sat at either ends of the plane for the whole journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
