Find cheap flights on TAME Linea Aerea

Bad, but the only option.

Pros: This is the only direct flight from NYC to Quito, so it was either this or getting a 5-hour layover somewhere else. The crew was very friendly

Cons: The most frustrating thing was that they wouldn't let me pick my seat or check in online because I bought my tickets via Kayak. Even if I wasn't checking in a bag, I had to go up to the counter to get my tickets (the kiosks didnt work either).The airplanes are very old, and felt dirty. My flights were only delayed a couple of minutes, but I was lucky because a friend of mine was flying TAME from Quito to Bogota and her flights kept getting cancelled or delayed for over 6 hours....

Pros: One stop Flight.

Cons: I don't like delays

Avoid for NYC -> Quito, Quito -> Galapagos, terrible all around

Cons: I've flown luxury and budget carriers alike on all 6 continents, this is easily one of the worst 3 airlines I have experienced. From mandatory in-person check-in of a 200 person flight with 1 check-in counter open, to asinine boarding rules, to "random" security screenings of passengers who were asking why the plane was 1 hour late, and rude staff all along the way... I highly recommend TAKING THE TRANSFER WITH ANOTHER AIRLINE - it will probably be faster and more comfortable.

Not bad but not really good either

Pros: The politeness and general service from the ground and flight crew were excellent. Very patient and accommodating.

Cons: The airline doesn't have kiosks for check-in at the terminal, which became a problem because their airline's computers for check-in went down, not fixed until 2 hours before departure. Because of this the flight was delayed, but even when the plane was fully boarded we sat at the gate for more than an hour with no explanation. Brass tacks: Don't rely on this airline if remotely precise timing is required for your trip. Give 1 day buffer.

9 hour delay

Cons: 9 hour delay , lost connecting flight and no help was offered

Ok flight

Pros: Better food, better comfort. My seat didn't have a belt buckle!

Cons: Entertainment, seats, food.
