Pros: Comfortable sleat
Cons: They lost my bag and bring it to my hotel the day of departure. Spend 4 days without clothing and all necessary staff. After one month of going back and force emails and proofs of purchases,they only reimbursed me with $100. They told me that was their maximum. Supervisor was very rood in new york

Pros: Not worth it the cheap price once you add one luggage fees and count the inconvenience of delays. Could be okay in low season, but to be avoided in high season.
Cons: Everything needs to be improved.

Pros: Crew was very nice.
Cons: No Wi-Fi except for local onboard Wi-Fi with which you could watch maybe 10 different tv shows or movies for free. No entertainment system except for what you can use your phone for but also no place to charge your phone. Cramped space. No overhead fan

9.0
Pros: The crew was happy, friendly and helpful.
Cons: We were nickle and dimed on baggage and weight. I suppose all airlines are doing the same, but it becomes expensive rather quickly. The entertainment system on the plane was a throwback to the 1970's, but we had been warned.

Cons: Internet was out. No inflight movies. Food was the worst airline food I have ever had, and that’s a low bar. How hard is it to cook pasta correctly?? Very apparently.

Cons: We paid less for our flight to Paris on a different airlines and had more legroom, unlimited free movies, free wine, blankets and pillows. I will not travel on XL again

7.6
Cons: The airline was a last-minute booking so I had no choice. I had been avoiding this airline due to inline reviews but I was pleasantly surprised - service and crew were excellent and so attentive. Everything was clean and I was surprised to get a meal too! I will definitely consider flying XL again!

4.0
Pros: On a 10 hour flight they have no tv. They want you to use your phone or tablet to get access to their entertainment but didn’t think that on a 10 hour flight you need to charge your phone . No charging station under the seat. Horrible experience
Cons: Install tv sets. It’s a long flight to talk to yourself
review from -
3.0
Pros: The crew was adequate.
Cons: 1. The food; charging for every drink except water??; it felt like flying on Ryanair (not a compliment); the planes are too small for transatlantic trip; no screens for entertainment? Overall, one of the worst flights that I've taken from CDG to the US (I've done perhaps 50 - 60 flights already).
review from -
7.2
Pros: The crew was fine I just thought they would have gone around before breakfast to see if anyone wanted a drink of water. I was glad they gave us a blanket.
Cons: Boarding on time I am not sure why we didn’t

Pros: Crew is very nice
Cons: Almost all ! Too tiny place even for small people. Entraintment is ridiculous and with fees ! You are like animals, one on each other. Very disappointed travel. Never again.

Cons: I had an isle seat, the outside arm rest would not lift up so it was difficult to get up to use restroom. The recline didn't work so I had no sleep. When I retrieved my luggage one wheel was broken. It would be nice if more interaction from pilot to passengers. Speak louder so we can hear.

6.0
Pros: Price is good, crew is very nice.
Cons: There is only wireless entertainment, which is OK but without in seat power, battery gone in a few hours on my phone... Need in seat power for long flights. Checkin in LA was very bad: long long line, plane delayed by an hour. Seat comfort is bad: no head rest with folding sides to support head

Pros: Crew were nice
Cons: Boarding process was insanity with zero structure or order, resulting in 1.5hr delayed departure causing me to miss connecting flight at CDG & thus important work events in my final destination tonight.
review from -
3.3
Pros: At least the crew was nice.
Cons: Not being delayed 3 hours and missing my connecting flight would have been better. having a screen with entertainment would have been better than having to download (can't) the XL app that says it is about to be expire on their website so not being prepared due to misinformation. Just poor. Sad.

Cons: Charged $80 USD because my carry-on was just over 10 kgs. An annoying fee, and a chaotic experience while they detained me and a dozen other people at the gate and shook us down for $$. Zero flight entertainment.

Flight to NY
Pros: Boarding was quick

XL IS EXTRA SMALL!
Cons: I would not recommend this airline for transcontinental travel to anyone who has a body. Just for reference: I am 5'10 and wear women's size M. No legroom to speak of, the whole flight to/from Paris I felt like I was kneeling on a cement floor. There was breakfast provided on the flight to Paris, but coming back you had to pay for dinner. On a positive note, one piece of check-in luggage was included in the price of a ticket, But this is not enough to entice me to ever use this Xtra Lilliputian airline.

Impressed
Pros: Everything. I have no complaints. I was able to book this flight last minute (2 hrs before) due to my previous reservation being cancelled bc the airline went out of business......truly a lifesaver. The staff were excellent.
Cons: My seat was right next to the bathroom
