| you-dont-say's Full Review: Malev Hungarian Airlines |
Flew Malev from Budapest to JFK in 1/05. The airport in Hungary is new with adequate shopping and dining options.
Boarding was a bit disorganized because they did not do it by row number and people just massed at the gate rather than lining up to board.
The plane was clean enough, although the crew seemed indifferent and did not smile.
The food was very good -- better than most airlines and the portions were adequate. The crew came around frequently with drinks.
The main problem was that there was a wiring problem so the center and left sections from midway back had no power to their seats. That meant that a. you couldn't listen to music; b. you couldn't watch the movies; c. you couldn't turn on your overhead light and read; d. you couldn't ring for a flight attendant;
You could, however sit in darkness and recall that it was a wiring problem with the entertainment system that brought down that Swissair flight off Canada a few years ago.
The FA didn't speak enough English to explain the problem to me (fortunately a passenger across the aisle was able to translate for me).
