| silwood's Full Review: Gol Linhas Aereas |
One of many internal and international flights for this recent Brazilian Trip - only one flight with GOL (Recife to Petrolina).
Check in: Quick and efficient,, picky check in guy wooul not let me take my hand luggage on at 5500g (maximum weight was 5000g) - harsh and to the rule 110% but was only a short hop and no connections so actually not too much of a bother!
Inflight: This was a 55 minute cruise from Recife to Petrolina. Really nice seats (with movable headrests with wings). Pleanty of leg room and a abrand new plane. flight service included a cereal bar and drink - free of charge thankfully. Smooth ride with no issues at all.
Baggage claim - quick and efficient again no issues at all.
All in all a great flight - smooth operation with brand new planes (unlike Varig), plenty of room for legs (unlike Varig) and freindly cabin crew (unlike Varig). All of whome spoke good english (unlike Varig) and all of whom were helpfull (unlike Varig)- bit of a pattern going on here i think - go GOL and leave Varig on the downward sprial that it cant get of from!
