Stranded at this airport endlessly for updates when we all had lives and work and people to get home to.
A flight that was supposed to leave at 6 pm did not show any evidence of going anywhere seven hours later. We booked a hotel near the airport where we got two hours of sleep before the flight out of Gatwick the next morning, which thankfully was on time, safe, and competent. Thank goodness we booked another flight out, because that Primera Air flight to New York did not take off for over 24 hours after the scheduled time - I would have missed much more than a night of work if I had been relying on this airline.
They promised a reimbursement for my trouble after I sent my receipts and CC statement, and three months later, I have received nothing and been fully ignored in my many attempts to contact them. I flew from Stansted to Boston on 6th August. There is no automated check in so all passengers, including those with just hand luggage, have to queue.
Although the 7-hour flight to Boston passed without incident, there were major delays at both airports. The plane took off almost an hour late from Stansted. In spite of arriving in Boston on time this airline pads its schedule to a ridiculous extent , we sat on the apron for 30 minutes, waiting for an available gate. To add insult to injury, we were kept on the jet bridge for a further 20 minutes. Although I only had hand luggage, it took me 90 minutes from landing to leave the airport.
The service onboard the flight was minimal and there was little real food for purchase. Drinks were reasonably priced. There was no entertainment system.
The aircraft was new and the onboard experience on my flight was reasonably good. I would use Primera Air again but wish they would sort out the problems they have with airports and ground agents. I also wish they would modernise and introduce online check in for US flights. The check in took about 45 mins as it was a full flight. It took about 40 mins to get through security at Newark due to the lack of TSA staff and screening equipment. The seats were comfortable ahd a personal TV screen in each seat which had a limited selection of films and TV shows.
There was also a USB port to charge personal devices, There were no headphones offered on board luckily we had our own set. The scheduled flight time was 6 hrs 25 mins we took off about 30 mins late but we managed to arrive on time into CDG.
The EuroAtlantic staff were friendly and attentive and looked after the passengers on the flight. Meals and drinks were provided to those passengers who booked their meals through the Primera air website.
Overall this flight was great value for money. Woke up on the morning of the flight to say that it was delayed from pm to the next morning.
