Scam.

Haven't recieved a response in nine days. Paid a premium price and the shuttle never showed, had to grab a cab myself. They cancelled a holiday-week flight at 3am and didn't offer a hotel voucher.

Legit.

Carmen at check-in bumped us to a sea-view room for free and I still can't stop smiling about it. Yves walked us to our room personally because the lift was out. who does that anymore.

Oluf called me back on a Wednesday noon to confirm my upgrade. a real human, shocking. Carmen at check-in bumped us to a sea-view room for free and I still can't stop smiling about it.

the app actually works

Easiest refund I've ever gotten and I didn't even have to ask twice. Showed up alot earlier than my ride needed and they still took me in without a word.

The driver never showed up

Flight delayed four hours and the app kept pushing upsells instead of info. idk why I trusted the reviews, the room smelled like a damp basement.

Awful trip, awful support

The transfer was a joke, the driver dropped us at the wrong hotel. Burned by thier refund team. Mid at best, honestly disappointing.

$44 shuttle in October felt like a steal and the lobby was dead empty at check-in. No hidden fees and no surprise charges. Just a good trip and a tired, happy me.

I haven't seen a refund alot of weeks later and support has gone quiet. The night manager was polite but kept quoting policy at me instead of fixing the charge.

App froze at checkout

I booked becuase the price looked honest, then the fees doubled at the counter. The cheap fare turned into double the charge after seat and bag fees. Burned by thier refund team.

Flight landed late

The fare is fair but you pay for every snack and even water, which they dont tell you upfront. havent flown with them in years and I remember why, it works but the whole thing feels dated. A last-minute booking and they still honored the rate, which was more than I expected tbh.

Agent helped, kind of

the app crashed twice at checkout and I had to call support, they fixed it but ugh, 40 minutes gone. Four stars for the view, two for the service, idk how to rate that honestly. Half decent, half annoying.
