It's time for a new flight report and on this occasion beá flying towards Baltra en Galápaid with Tame EP.
traveling for vacation towards Galápaid, where did it happené 5 díaboard a cruise ship touring the western islands, I was able to fly with Tame to the «enchanted islands» after severalños. Allá for him 2008, volé with them towards this same destination and from thereá up to date, the service has changed a lotísimo.
Recently tooén volé with them to Fort Lauderdale from Guayaquil, the service was very good and smooth, you can review it HEREÍ, but in the sunéstic, Tame's service changes a lot.
The main difference is that Tame on sun flightséstatic operates like an airlineínea full service o legacy, but its service is slightly superior to a low cost and this is because, for example, a flight of 2 hours towards Galápayments provide úOnly a beverage service and the cost of the ticket remains similar to other airlines.ílines that operate on the route.
on flights to San Cristóbal, Baltra, Fort Lauderdale y New York, no isá activated the web check-in service, so you have to approach with at least 2 hours before the airline check-in countersínea.
Spaghettién, to return to Galápayments it is always good to have extra time at the airport, since it must comply with entry requirements to the islands, where one of them is the purchase of the Tr Cardánsito, what varíat the following costún the nationality, and special baggage check, process can take up to 30 minutes or más himselfún passenger demand.
My flight was the first of the dayía a Galápaid, the EQ191 with estimated time of departure at 06:30 am.
the grandfatherón assigned was the Embraer 190 HC-CGF con núMSN serial grouper 137 and what arrivedó tame new fábrica from Brazil. It's avión isá configured in a single class for 104 passengers and is powered by 2 motores GE CF34-10E6.
Something that draws a lot of attentionón in Tame is that aún do not allow the use of m devicesóvile neither in takeoff nor landing, not even, in avi modeón which makes it look a little outdated, más aún when the competition already allows it in that way, but it will surely updateán pronto.
The space between seats is quite wide and allows you to travel comfortably.óway. Equally, the seats are kept in excellent condition and allow you to rest without problems.
The flight took offó with 96 passengers and in Guayaquil they got off around 80 passengers, leaving very few that I followedístill with final destination Baltra.
The stopover in Guayaquil was 45 minutes to refuel and load new passengers. Everything was fulfilledó on time and without problems.
How to commenté at the beginning, Tame offers towards Galápaid úbeverage service only, without any food, what for those foreigners who paid tickets on the $400 dólares for a flight 2 hours you caníto say that it is an unjustified charge.
The flight tookó I end without news, it's always nice to fly in the quiet embraer 190.
The vídeo filmed:
Almost all of theñO, the landing in Galápayments is totally calm and little moved, It was not the exceptionón and we were able to see the beautiful colors of the Islands from the air perfectly.
The return flight was initially direct from Baltra to Quito, but the flight was canceled, so i assumeíit was low occupancyón. I was not notified of this operational change and there was noó no compensationón o máwith informationón about it.

Excellent flight anecdote Nicolás.
Thank you Fabrizio!
In Avianca, the same route, no more service. Drinks and a small bag of chips.
Although in avianca there are individual entertainment screens.
Yes, Avianca has also lowered its service to Galapagos, but win a lot in entertainment.
A flight to GPS in an E190, due to low demand, draws attention to the competition flying A 319, y son sky team y one world, two hours without boarded entertainment, sin web checking, return route change, without notice and without compensation, reason they are losing market share, things don't change, It's a shame.
Yes, I see that due to Tame's own situations they are losing this important market.
