Good custom service; refund takee too long

Custom service contacted by WhatsApp is good. However for some reason my reservation was not in the system although I ordered and paid. It (refund) takes way too long (!) to have my money back. In the 21st Century that must be handled with a maximum of 2 hours !!!

Lack of leg space

I have long legs and so inevitably. I have a problem, but I can cope on EasyJet.Ryan Air etc the leg room was so poor that I could not get in to my middle seat. So I swapped with the person on the aisle seat and had to sit with my legs stuck out in the aisle.

My first experience with Freebird

It was my first time reserving with Freebird Airlines. I am a well-travelled person, but compared with other airlines, the reservation process was smooth and perfect! Very rarely one can encounter such a straightforward and pleasant process!

Would not recommend, no customer services

On collecting our luggage my case was damaged beyond re-use. Not only did my case have a TSA approved lock that was broken beyond repair (Freebird say - Loss or Damage to wheels, feet, handles, locks and pull straps or security straps.) I have dents, scrapes and a hole in one of the dents (Freebird say Wear and Tear such as minor cuts, scratches, scuffs, dents and marks.) We are unable to speak to anyone, no customer service. I keep being told this is wear and tear and that my case is still usable .... with a hole and no lock.

We did follow process and reported to the lost and found department. After numerous emails (as unable to speak to anyone) showing damage, we were told this was acceptable wear and tear HOLE IN CASE AND BROKEN ZIP/LOCK my suitcase was absolutely battered scuffs and dents pushed out but unable to RE USE DUE TO HOLE AND ZIP/BROKEN LOCK.
My review was not investigated prior to response by Freebird Airlines as they would have known we reported this, just an automated standard response no care for passengers or belongings. PLEASE do the right thing and look into this.

Freebird Airlines do not care for your safety

Freebird Airlines do not care for your safety, or for any add ons that you purchase. More than happy to charge you €25 for seat reservations in emergency exit row only to allow passengers a free for all once in the sky.

Contacted them to complain as an elderly lady unfortunately with very reduced mobility (aided by passenger to take seat and cabin crew to use toilet) was allowed to occupy a emergency exit seat in clear violation of their conditions of travel and the law. Their response was that they were complying by allocating people to vacant rows pre takeoff which was untrue as this wasn’t done pre flight, cabin crew didn’t allocate people, they just moved and allowed someone incapable of using the emergency door to sit there. Suggest you choose an airline that cares about your safety rather than Freebird Airlines!!

Boarding pass re-issued by changing seats

We are a family of 4 , flying with freebird airlines on 21st Feb 2025 towards Antalya,turkey. We had completed checkin online with seat numbers next to each other for all 4 of us .. but during boarding they have re issued the boarding pass with different seats where we can't sit with each other for 4 hours .. quoting technical issues/problem. The journey before started is already very unpleasant.
