Passenger Reports

Did Algiers to Constantine last April and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.

Frequent flyer · April

Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 0h 25m went by fast.

First-time passenger · November

I always expect the worst on longer flights but this one surprised me. Very little turbulence, only a few small bumps on descent. Manageable even for me.
