Hi Just a heads up for anyone planning on using Budget Airline Flybondi in South America, we were denied the use of the exit row seats we had paid extra for because we did not speak Spanish.
Luckily there was row 1 and 2 spare and gave us a row each in place of the exit row seats, with some free food and drinks. So ended up better in the end.
We did not have this issue on Latam for internal South American flights in the exit rows.
Other than the seat issue we were happy with the flights.
Flybondi is an all 737-800 operator, the planes we caught were ex Garuda around 12 years old.
The crew were great, flights on time.
The only a couple of negatives
1. When we booked last year, everything was extra, including any cabin baggage that you couldn't put at your feet. (They seem to include some allowance for cabin baggage now).
2. The cabin could have done with a deep clean.
