Smartwings is a misleading name!
We're back from Venice and now I can complain about Smartwings Airlines without feeling worried about them. What a fiasco!
It started out for us pretty simply: we bought the tickets, celebrated the discount and bragged to all of you about he amount we are saving. "Don't count your chickens before they hatch" is a perfect saying in this case.
We got to the airport and discovered that our flight number was not there. After yelling at an information attendant (she was rude and yelled at me so its only fair that I yell back) I found out that the check-in desk was nearby. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone there, so going back to the info lady, I discovered that we were a little early. We were never worried so when we found out that our flight was delayed and the number was changed. No problem. The next part was a real piss-off. We were redirected to ROME!!! Instead of a simple flight lasting 1 hour, it took us over 5 hours. Looking at Rome from the sky is nice but it really irritated us when we were supposed to be looking at Venice.
The food was ridiculous. A single hamburger bun with a single slice of meat and SAVOY cabbage! Yummy and gassy too. One drink and the rest you must pay for. Horrible. "Yes, I know that it's a discount flight company."
They double booked all the seats and they had to wait for all the people going to Venice from Rome to board. All this resulted with us arriving in Venice at 11pm.
Venice was an unbelievable time, so I am not going to add that part here.
Flying back, I thought I was going to die.
Getting onboard was a little easier but the descent was A TOTAL nightmare! There was enough turbulence to make a milkshake. The plane was pitching left and right. Just before we landed we even wavered a bit prior to touching down. I'm a good flyer and I like to travel but these types of situations always make me dread take off and landings.
So a warning to all: Smartwing is less than good.

If you're budget concerned then good luck and enjoy the flight. For the rest: Take a bus.
