 Passenger Opinions about Air Algerie
Air Algerie need to improve if their star rating and credibility with other operators is to be upped.
Contrary to what some people say, Air Algerie does allocate seats like other airlines, but it is true that some passengers seem to not take that into account, which tends to stress the staff into attitudes that are not very friendly during the first 15mns of boarding.
We were surprised to enjoy a relatively pleasant experience with Air Algerie (Y class) flying recent aircraft (738 and 735s), with acceptable delays (~15-30mns) and fast connections in Algiers on both legs, for about half the cost of the AF ticket.
