Awful low cost airline - avoid at all costs

Ulemper: 1.5 hours late & sitting in the plane waiting to take off. A UPS plane was given priority to take off before this airline - it's the worst of cheap airlines I've ever seen.

Cabin Pressure

Ulemper: For some reason, on this flight, the cabin pressure was not as good and I received a piercing pain in my sinus and head that I thought was something dangerous. It didn't go away, and I still have a little bit of it. I flew from Los Angeles to Tokyo with no problem, and the plane was a larger one. I fear this plane had less insulation or something that lead to this pain.

missed connection and they did nothing to help

Fordeler: nothing

Ulemper: They changed the boarding time from 14:00 to 14:15 at check-in and at the time of departure at 14:45 they changed that to the boarding time. I missed my flight in Tokyo going to the USA had to pay a change fay to another airline I couldn't afford and spend the night at the Airport!!!!! Awful !!! no explanation no offer to reimburse nothing!!!!

Worst LCC I have tried

Ulemper: You could really feel the penny pinching. Baggage fees are ridiculous. And I had to wait by thr check-in kiosks for 10 minutes for: "in case something is wrong with the baggage". Slow to check tickets at boarding. Plane was parked in the most remote part of the airport. Long bus ride, and long time to board. Seats are very uncomfortable. Overall, worst experience with a Low Cost Carrier I have had, for no benefit in ticket cost. Avoiding this airline in the future.

Vanilla Air Tokyo to Hong Kong

Fordeler: Price was good. Crew very nice and pleasant, they worked hard and efficiently, flight was on time.

Ulemper: Terminal 2: Terminal 2 for budget airlines in Tokyo was a very dismal place, was worn out, dinghy, and old, no seats for passengers, was worse than a third world terminal. Terminal space was cramped and check in lines were cramped together and signs confusing, difficult to make out which line was for which airline or flight, could easily be in the wrong line for wrong flight/airline! There were few stores, only one cafe with limited selection of food and drinks. Passengers had to board planes by walking from boarding gate to plane in the open air and climb up plane staircase like back in ancient days or in quaint backward country. Elevators going down to the boarding gates were poorly marked and confusing and no signs at the gate indicating the flight to be boarded. In addition, the boarding gates are segregated and do not connect and passengers at the wrong gate cannot easily get from one gate to the next! All in all a very unpleasant place and experience. While the airport limousine bus did stop at terminal 2, it was the very last stop and took extra time to get there as terminal 2 seemed to be located in middle of nowhere at Narita. Plane and flight: As expected in a no frills budget airline, food was mediocre, fee was charged for everything. However this was a five hour flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong and seats on plane were packed very very close together, very difficult to get in and out of seat - had to be an acrobat or contortionist to get in and out, Even on a no frills budget airline, such closely packed seats for a long flight is unacceptable. Maybe OK for a one to two hour flight but not acceptable for flight over 3 hours. Have had better experience on other no frills budget airlines. such as Air Asia, Tiger Air. Will definitely avoid Vanilla Air whenever possible.

Affordable and Service Matching the Price Tag

Fordeler: Better than other low cost carriers.

Ulemper: I know I get what I pay for. So, no particular complaints.
