Primera transatlantic
I believe these flights have now started from STN to EWR, with more routes to follow. Any feedback on them? Some fairly grim reports on Tripadvisor.

They have started but at the moment they are operated by National 757. For crew training purposes it was operated on ALC and AGP over the last few days. I think on 05/05 they are deploying it permanently onto EWR service.
I flew on it to ALC on the 29th and aircraft is quiet and comfortable, good legroom and I was right at the back of the aircraft. USB charging points, no entertainment, 3 toilets on board. Apparently it will only be 4 crew as 198 passengers on board. On our journey crew were not very good. Not friendly or polite, from crew perspective it was very much Ryanair experience. Preordered meal was disgusting, delivered 1:30 hrs into the flight (2:20 flt time). No OLCI but luckily flight quite empty so no queue. No priority boarding called (although sold)... I will not fly with them again. |
A friend was due to be on the EWR-STN on Monday night. Spent hours waiting at EWR for the 'delayed' departure (they could see the outbound hadn't left STN) until it was eventually cancelled. Ground staff provided a hotel but didn't offer rebooking options, so they self-rebooked onto Norwegian next day - only £250ish so very reasonable in the circumstances.
I told her about the 600eur comp today. She had no idea about it, despite the fact she'd been given a letter by Primera setting out EU261 rights, which was sitting on her desk! This is the thing - pax just take crap and don't even read the info when given it! Anyway I advised to put in her claim asap - because I don't know how long Primera will be around to pay it... |
