Roundtrip service VIE-FCO in early January, BASIC fare class, total roundtrip price 38€ (!!!); no checked baggage, allowed to take a carry-on bag (8kg) along with a backpack on board.
OUTBOUND:
6:10AM departure from Vienna on time. At the gate, they did not ask any questions about luggage or measure the weight/size thereof. (Maybe because the plane was quite empty - still a big plus as opposed to Ryanair or Wizz Air horror stories.)
Plane clean and plenty of legroom, flight attendants polite and courteous. No service included in BASIC fare (not even water or coffee), but that's alright for a short 1h 20min flight. All in all a 9/10 experience.
INBOUND:
Late evening departure from Rome delayed by 45 mins - no information for passengers whatsoever - not on the displays, not online, gate attendants chatting with each other and annoyed when being asked about flight status. (I think it is quite weird to indicate a flight is "on time" when boarding has not even commenced at the time of scheduled depature.) While boarding, we got stuck inside the jet bridge for approximately 15 minutes in -6 C temperatures - not a nice experience when already being delayed.
Flight attendants on this flight very unfriendly, not a single smile, overheard them chatting in German and complaining about a passenger who would not stay seated. Even though it was a half empty plane again and they had next to no job to do in-flight. Oh, and they could not wait to rush off the plane upon landing. Not professional at all.
All in all a 5/10 experience.
ENTERTAINMENT: WiFi available for a surcharge, but I liked the free flight tracking app a lot. Connect to the free WINGS network in-flight and track the altitude, speed and heading - might comfort nervous flyers a lot!
VALUE FOR MONEY: Definitely yes and definitely a better option than Ryanair or Wizz Air in all aspects. I would (and I will) definitely fly them again!
