Voice of Travelers to Reunion
Crew were outstanding
I had a very pleasant experience with Air Austral. The food was above average for economy. The movie choice was a bit limited but there was enough in English to keep us entertained. We were able to drink as much as we wanted while going to Reunion. The onboard crew was outstanding - friendly and professional. I realize that the Airport among France and Reunion are too much different but in the end I will say I enjoy a lot in Reunion a small planet.
Disappointed with my flight
I traveled from Paris to La Reunion. I was very disappointed with my flight experience on Air Austral – the seats were very damaged, small, uncomfortable, and dirty. Due to health problems, I cannot eat either fat or sugar, so I always order a light meal except. On Air Austral, this meal was "exceptional" but also had an exceptional price. The meal cost the astronomical price of 20 €, and after all that, I ultimately ended up with a meal with fat! Between the outward and return flight to Reunion I had email exchanges with the company about this, but the Reunion Airline union had nothing to do with this matter. Reunion is under the law of France, but the Air ticket is too expensive and the flight was not good.
