BookingGround ExperienceCabin and SeatAmenities and IfeFood and BeverageServiceOverall ImpressionWhen we began looking for flights to book we noticed that there were reasonably priced fares that included a segment in Business and in Economy (review coming soon!) from Madrid (MAD) to Bogotá (BOG) and Lima (LIM) I’d been to Peru before so I decided that I’d spend the weekend in Bogotá But I figured that I might as well review some more products on this trip so I ended up making things a lot more interesting by booking three separate tickets that would allow all of this to happen 1 A roundtrip Economy ticket from New YorkJFK to MAD (already flown) and then from MAD to Paris CDG to New YorkJFK (upcoming) 2 A roundtrip ticket between MAD and BOG with one segment in Biz and one in Economy (already flown) 3 A roundtrip ticket BusinessClass ticket from MADCDGJFK (already flown) and then from JFKMAD (upcoming) Basically I’m crazy But hey this is what we do right? As Air Europa is a member of the SkyTeam alliance a good place to start searching for award flights I arrived in Madrid earlier on the morning of my Air Europa flight but since Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport is so close to the city I decided to take a 20minute Uber ride to meet TPG senior writer and Madrileña Lori Zaino for a quick meal in the city before hopping backacross the Atlantic (though this time around I’d be landing in South America) My flight was scheduled to depart at 315pm so I showed up at Madrid’s Terminal 2 around 130pm Things were quiet when I arrived so I was able to drop my bag and made my way through the VIP security line in under 10 minutes Flying SkyTeam out of Madrid means that you don’t get to hang out in the iconic terminal that Iberia and its Oneworld partners call home T2 is still clean relatively bright and has plenty of shopping and dining for those with time to kill AirEuropa doesn’t have its own lounge in Madrid but rather uses a thirdparty lounge called Sala VIP Cibeles for its businessclass passengers This lounge also happen My first impression of the cabin was that it was quite small and intimate — similar to the feeling I got when I flew Korean Air last year and Xiamen Airbefore that The seats themselves were arranged in an allforwardfacing 222 configuration across four rows This specific product though is fairly uncommon and a new one for me Each seat faced slightly inward so passengers were oriented toward each other It was basically the same seat that Royal Air Maroc chose to use on its 788s though the seats on RAM are staggered in the sense that one seat is higher than the other within the same pod and Air Europa’s were on the same level On paper this kind of configuration is outdated and not competitive but the cabin was just about half full which meant that I had a set of two seats to myself — as did just about everyone else I was seated in 2G an aisle seat in the middle section I wasn’t able to score a window seat because I booked fairly close to departure It didn’t have a When I got on board I found a large pillow wrapped in a fabric bag a pair of mediocre headphones a blanket and mattress pad wrapped in plastic and an amenity kit The amenity kit fabric had a chevron design I actually liked quite a bit — it reminded me of a cozy sweater Inside I found a pair of socks an eye mask earplugs a toothbrush and toothpaste a comb and various creams and lotions that would ensure I stayed moisturized and fresh for my arrival in Colombia I found the IFE system to be generally intuitive and the screen itself was sharp The seat felt quite far from the screen so even though it was a touchscreen I preferred to control it with the provided remote which also had a small touchscreen built in to help control the system I especially liked playing with the globe from my seat with the remote The selection of movies and TV shows wasn’t particularly extensive but I found enough content to keep me occupied while I wasn’t working or sleeping The WiFi situ Before this flight I truly had no idea what to expect from Air Europa’s catering Long story short I was very pleasantly surprised Just reading the menu got me excited — it seemed to me that the airline really wanted to present unique dishes with a Spanish tilt Cabin service started shortly after I sat down I was offered a choice of cava or orange juice and went for the cava which I was a big fan of In fact I asked for another glass before we even pushed back from the gate and the flight attendants were happy to give me a refill We experienced quite a bit of turbulence on our climb out of Madrid so the start of the meal service was delayed but it was no bother since we had plenty of flying ahead of us and it was a daytime flight First FAs came around to take orders for another round of drinks I asked for a still water and a Diet CocaCola When they came back with my beverages they also asked if I would like some sushi This took me by surprise as it was nowhere t I found the service to be excellent on all fronts The flight attendants were attentive generally on the ball friendly and patient with me as I spoke to them in Spanish They knew it wasn’t my first language but were happy to see me putting my years of classes and study abroad into practice They were eager to chat and it genuinely felt like they were enjoying their jobs and serving the customers I really had a great first flight with Air Europa Despite a wholly average experience on the ground Air Europa impressed me The businessclass hard product may be middling on the 788 but the rest of the experience stood out It wasn’t because it was overthetop luxe — it certainly wasn’t — but friendly and relaxed service unexpected amenities like a mattress pad and delicious food presented in a fun and totally different way made me a fan of this airline Air Europa isn’t an airline that can rest on its laurels like any of the other major European carriers It has to set itself apart somehow to attract business that would normally go to Iberia Air France Lufthansa and many others Once it takes delivery of the new 789s with a very competitive hard product — in some cases much better than its peers — I have no doubt that this quirky airline will continue to grow and win plenty more fans along the way.
