Can anyone explain air europa for me
 
There are 2 options for choosing sevilla one is with a train i think .Does it mean you take a train and then fly from the next city?

I don't know the specific UX Sevilla flight options, but in Europe it is common, that airlines offer some flights operated by train companies, AF does this to/from many stations from CDG, some of the routes are offered only as train services, on others you have the choice between train or plane. If you have a connection, it means, that after you took the train, you will have to check your luggage as everybody else and take a real flight. BP for the connecting flight, however, is usually given by the train company and you will not get a BP at the airport w/o proving that you actually took the train. OLCI will usually not work for train segments.

CO does this in the US as well with Amtrak out of EWR. However, it's poorly done by CO and easy to game the system.

Air Europa is a low-cost company when it comes to service: no free drinks or food in Y in Europe, service which could be more smiling. But some Spanish destinatons are not operated by AF anymore.
J is quite decent (pretty good food, leather seats)

Planes are very recent though.

An AirEuropa plane with 162 people on board left the runway at CDG
 
An AirEuropa plane with 162 people on board left the runway, Friday, December 30, landing at the airport of Roissy-Charles de Gaulle. No one was injured, officials say.

The AirEuropa plane landed at 9.20pm local time at Paris from Valencia, Spain, before getting "off track" .

At around 0.30 am :confused::confused:, the passengers and crew were evacuated from the plane with a mobile gateway, said Aéroports de Paris (ADP) and a female passenger. According to a spokesman for the firefighters, the plane "landed normally before getting bogged down in the grass while taking its service road."

A French passenger aircraft, Chantal Perrichon said by telephone that the plane had "missed" landing. "Nothing serious, we are in the grass," she said. "The landing occurred normally, the plane braked and then we felt the plane was sliding," testified Mrs. Perrichon. According to her, the captain said it was due to a phenomenon of "aquaplaning."

AirEuropa, the airline founded in 1986 and headquartered in the Balearic Islands, belongs to the Spanish tourist Globalia. AirEuropa, which in 1993 was the first company to break the monopoly held by Iberia in Spain, "has 45 aircrafts with an average of just three years old (that) carry nine million passengers a year."

Apparently, they were unable to tow the aircraft back on the taxiway, and it was kind of difficult to arrange non-dangerous stairs to reach the a/c doors from the grass.

Astonishing.
