I meant to post this last month, but I neglected to, and so I’d just like to say, if you are ever considering flying Air Europa, just don’t. Don’t do it. The story I have to tell is exhausting, and while I’m sure it pales in comparison to other airline horror stories, it was enough that I never want to fly them ever again. They are not good.

The one good thing I can say about them is that after your flight leaves six hours late, and after you miss your connecting flight because the original flight was one-quarter of a day late, and after you wait in three lines for more than an hour trying to figure out what to do, they will put you up in a very nice hotel. It will be in the middle of nowhere and have a creepy elegance to it, but it will be very nice.

Seriously, though, just don’t get into that situation in the first place.
