TRIP REPORT | Volotea Airbus A319 AOI-CTA | V71703

Come along with me on this domestic flight from Ancona to Catania with the low-cost airline Volotea, onboard one of their A319s. The experience with them today was positive: legroom was surprisingly good, the aircraft was clean and the seats did feature seat pockets (though small ones), unlike the seats on most of their 717s. However, while the 717 seats recline, the A319 seats don't. Volotea provide a buy on board service on their flights, and while the selection is decent (not the best however), the prices are somewhat high. Still, I decided to go for a packaged croissant for 1.50€. The crew were friendly and did their job professionally. As a matter of fact we were somewhat lucky we got to our destination as planned; after all today there was a strike in the Italian air traffic during the morning and early afternoon, canceling a large number of flights and delaying numerous. I hope you will enjoy the video!
