Booked with BA to fly to Malaga on 8th September. New in advance would be operated by Avion Express but promised by BA would experience full BA service. Far from it, legroom was awful, could not sit straight in seat, lot of moaning going on about bad legroom. Took one and half hours for water service to reach us as crew serving water also selling coffee, drinks, food etc. Only announcements from cockpit were on take off. Never heard again until seat belt signs switched on prior to landing, so no warning re use of toilets etc. No duty free on board which is normal for Avion but not told in advance. Avoid using this Airline. Wished I had changed when advised by BA was being Chartered out.

Probably one of the most uncomfortable aircraft I've ever had the misfortune of flying on.
The seats, which I presume once belonged to Wizz Air are diabolically uncomfortable, with atrocious legroom and just generally shabby.
Was somewhat conned by TUI as they're currently chartering aircraft from Avion Express.
Thankfully, the TUI crew were fantastic, but the aircraft leaves a lot to be desired.

Omg we will never use Avion Express again we have been absolutely conned by BA told we have the same standard as BA BY BA and that was incorrect information
Proceedings will start with BA for the compensation back to us for false advertising as I am not paying out for Club standard and getting nothing
If only we had looked at these reviews before we flew to Malta
It was the dirtiest filthiest plane I have ever flown on
The staff are rude and don’t speak English
The average age of a plane is 15 years old and sound like they are not going to get off the ground
We have been seriously let down by BA may think they are cute trying pull the wool over our eyes however inaccurate marketing of a product is illegal and taking money is a bad mistake BA

Worst flight. I’m 5’10” and medium build so nothing unusual but really struggled with no leg room for the 3 hour flight from Malta. Others on the flight ( taller or larger people) had a much harder time. This was a supposedly a BA flight and not the standard I would expect. Business class had the same amount of leg room from what I could see. I will be cautious about flying BA again if they off load their flights to Avion express

Was put on this plane as a return leg of a BA trip from Mahon. Firstly do not waste your money upgrading unless you just want the same cramped seat as economy but just no-one in the middle. Shabby old plane from both the outside (just plain white) and inside. Really cramped legroom, armrests broken, seat in front creaked back as though reclining when it wasn't. If that isn't bad enough our cabin crew were awful. Grumpy, rude and verging on aggressive style. Not one of them smiled and spoke to us as if were on a con air flight. I will be complaining separately to BA.

An Inhuman amount of seat space. I have never been on a plane with such little leg room. I'd been given a widow seat, which I could not possible fit in the space given. my knees pushing me into the seat in front and my back wedged against the seat. I had to be moved isle seat so could move legs . I'm 6 foot, not of large build or unusual. You could hear people all around commenting about the same thing and getting frustrated. Maybe an hour flight but not 4.5 hours from Antalya. No ice all drinks were warm it was disgusting. Why BA charter this company I have no idea. We had a great flight out with them on the same type of plane. You don't do yourself any favors with Aviaon. Trust Pilot please allow us to give no stars. This would be the case here!

My advice to anyone is avoid BA like the plague whilst they are putting passengers on this airline... Worst service I've ever had in 35 years of flying..Took 2 & half hours to reach the back of plane with drinks trolley,only to be told most things had sold out & no ice left ... Worst leg room than any other airlines also.

date of flights: 18/08/23 and 26/08/23 (delayed from 25/08/23)
this may be the worst airliner i've ever flown with for so many reasons. i only had to fly with them because tui gave them the weekly flights between london gatwick and herakilon in crete and the experience just got worse with each flight.
ok, i will start with the flights themselves, which are pretty rocky and cramped, with there being zero legroom, constant heat and the planes themselves clearly being very old. if that were the end of it, i would say 2 stars because you can somewhat get used to this.
however, they are TERRIBLE with actually being on time. you will be lucky to get your flight delayed by just a single hour because you will usually be waiting almost an extra THREE HOURS for these crappy aircraft to depart.
my experience with this company via tui has convinced me to intentionally avoid tui, which is unfortunate because tui's own airline is pretty decent. however, i can't let myself get screwed over again by this terrible substitute.
tldr: if this airliner is substituting for your intended airliner of choice, get ready for a bad experience at best and nightmarish one at worst.

Our Tui flight was changed to a Avion express flight on an old noisy plane from Gatwick to Arrecife,sat on the stand as the plane had a software problem on the return flight.there is no legroom on these planes with no neck support. You charge enough tui and don't give a dam about your customers. If I ever get told my flight is being changed to this carrier I will cancel my booking and make a claim to get my money back .flights on 3rd August 23 and 17th August 23

awful experience on this plane operated by BA. broken arm rests with sharp plastic and torn seats, even in business class. I've written to the CEO of BA with photos. do the same if this happens to you!!!

Not BA however staff were very friendly and helpful during a very bumpy and turbulent flight when passengers were feeling unwell etc. pilot had brilliant communication with the cabin about the turbulence and that was brilliant. Staff get a 5/5 however the cabin itself was unfortunately dated. No recline and very little legroom I struggled at 5 feet 10 so anyone taller would most certainly need extra legroom seats. Was it the plane BA, no but the service was of BA standard.

The most uncomfortable seats on an old plane and the most utterly miserable staff. BA use them when they’ve overbooked and transfer you to this carrier as I can’t think why anyone would choose to use Avion otherwise

Not BA but a very poor alternative

Flew back from Faro to Gatwick; wasn't made aware that flight was being operated by Avion Express instead of BA. On check in I was offered an upgrade to Club for 130 euros. Thankfully I didnt go for it. Plane was old, noisy, hot, more seats crammed in than any cheapo no frills airline so zero leg room. Also dirty. Sat on the tarmac for over an hour whilst the crew chatted in the galley. No updates from flight deck during the flight. It was awful. Didnt feel safe, landing was dreadful. Will not travel with them again.

I'm a regular BA flyer (silver member). Like many of us, this Summer I have had the misfortune of flying with aircrafts from this company, which BA's subsidiary BA-flyer uses for mane Gatwick routes in the Summer.

The short of it is that the is service is absolutely not up to the standards one expects when booking a BA flight.

Staff are poorly trained and obviously inexperienced, sometimes hapless (god knows what would happen in an emergency). Cleanliness and logistics leave much to be desired. Procedures on board are annoying and irritating, enforced brutally and with zero communication skills.

Avion Express Malta are running Gatwick to Girona flights for TUI...the planes have the TUI logo but are plain white.

Both flights were on very old not well maintained A320's that were noisy, rattly, seats falling apart and some of the smallest legroom I've experienced.

Last flight with TUI before this was on one of their actual airline 787's....a totally different experience.

We bought a holiday from British Airways to Rhodes, flying Club Europe with BA and staying at a luxury hotel. Hotel was great. BA did not fulfil its legal obligations in any way. It subcontracted out the flights to this Lithuanian company, presumably skimmed off a profit and said 'get on with it'. I echo the words of others; Avion Express has NO Club/Business Class seats, they are all economy with tiny amounts of leg room. The staff are inexperienced, the food was overcooked, the toilet at the front was 'out of order', the toilet at the back had the paper towel disposal taped up. The service level was shocking, two young people who have clearly never served customers in Business Class in their lives. Totally untrained, customers having to wave at them to get a coffee. It was the most god-awful 4hr flight I've ever experienced. As the tray doesn't fit the tray table, red wine spilled on my trousers. No duty free. Staff that struggle to speak and understand English. I could write pages on it but I'm sure you get the drift. Do NOT under any circumstances fly with this company.

As a technician left the aircraft, I heard him say to the staff, 'this is unacceptable, if you fly this plane like this, it's down to you, but I've got better things to do with my time'. That was technician as he left the plane, prior to take off.

Our BA Club Europe flight to Lanzarote was replaced with an Avion Express flight - by BA. We were reassured by BA that we would have the same experience. Absolutely not true! Aircraft are old, tiny leg space, food overcooked, staff out of their depth.

The most worrying thing was the dirty state of the aircraft. When I put my table down for my meal the table hadn’t been wiped - still full of food & wine stains from previous passengers. The seat pocket / seat back were also dirty. I showed the flight attendant who was apologetic but he said they are not given sufficient cleaning time on the ground.

Definitely not what I paid for!

Absolute rubbish!!!
We were club class and the crew were out of their depth
Food overcooked leg room not right
Ba trays don’t fit resulting in food spillage
I am appalled by ba doing this
As a silver member I will never travel on avion again or until ba gaurentee a ba proper flight
There was a ba flight rep on board and she could not beleive what she was witnessing
Nearly a mutiny !!!!

We recently had an Easyjet flight fulfilled by Avion Express and it was the most uncomfortable flight of my life. The seats are TINY and legroom non existent. If you thought the likes of RyanAir/Easyjet were uncomfortable, think again. I am 5ft4in tall and barely fit my knees in. The seats don't even have seat pockets to put things in. Everything was so rickety and creaky. Horrendous.

VÆLG ALDRIG AVION EXPRESS!!!!!!!
Mine forældre havde bestilt deres billetter gennem travelmarked.dk i maj måned, kastrup-chania var Norwegian, chania-kastrup var med avion express. Eller det troede de. For mine forældre sad i chania lufthavn kl 3.40 d. 31/07/22, og deres såkaldte fly med avion express, var ikke eksisterende! De havde endda fået en mail fra avion express d. 30/7 at flyet var til tiden men at de kun kunne tjekke ind i lufthavnen .
De fik endda også en mail fra avion express om formiddagen d. 31/7,at nu var deres fly landet sikkert i København 😡😡😡😡
Vælg aldrig avion express!!!!
Det var så 9000 kr dyrere ferie, da de blev nød til at finde et andet fly.

De og vi er tosset og er blevet meget snydt!!

NEVER CHOOSE AVION EXPRESS!!!
The flight my parents were supposed to be traveling on, chania-kastrup (31/7/22) never existed!
They ordered the tickets though travelmarked.dk, my parents even got an e-mail that said that the flight was on time. But it never existed.!!!!
My parents feel so cheated an pay 9000 Danish crowns to get home at last.
We are so angry!!
Don't ever ordrer from avion express!!!!!!!
