This company doest care at all.
Luggage twice not there; both going and returning ! And then they tell you it will take 4 days to deliver them or you can come back yourself. 3 hours drive...
Every item is weighed and then later weighed again (oh yes, just after the boarding check there was another guy waiting); all made to make you pay more.
And on the flight, of course everything is payable.
We'll never fly with these crooks again.

Terrible experience. I was flying from Vilnius, Lithuania to Orlando, Florida via Amsterdam. My checked bag was 10 kg under the limit, and my carry-on weighed 10 kg. I was charged €30 for being 2 kg over the hand luggage limit.
Nothing was mentioned at the check-in counter, and I could have easily moved items into my checked bag. At the gate, the same staff member who had not said anything about weight restrictions earlier told me, “You should have read the rules when buying the ticket.”
Very disappointing customer experience and unprofessional, arrogant behavior. I will avoid flying with them in the future.

AirBaltic's Service is Declining Significantly

AirBaltic's service seems to be deteriorating, comparable to the worst experiences I've had with budget airlines. For the first time, my hand luggage was weighed and found to be just over the limit, resulting in a €30 fine at the gate. They used to be a respectable airline. While their prices aren't exactly "budget," the quality of service has definitely dropped. I typically fly with other carriers and hold a Silver membership there. I'm very disappointed.

Inflexible and lacking customer focus!

Inflexible and lacking customer focus! I had a very disappointing encounter with the customer service team. I mistakenly booked the wrong date and realized it almost immediately. I attempted to contact customer service by phone right away, but the numbers provided on the website were ineffective—no one picked up despite several tries. I then reached out to the local office. A representative requested that I send an email for internal forwarding, but this did not lead to a solution. I also contacted the main office. On Friday, I finally received a reply with a reduced ‘goodwill’ change fee, but it came with a strict deadline. Unfortunately, I was not well during that time and missed the email. As soon as I noticed it on Sunday, I responded right away. Even though there was no fare difference, the change was requested over 30 days before my departure, and I reported the mistake immediately, the goodwill offer was taken back. I was then informed that I would have to pay nearly the same price as the original ticket—simply because I missed the response time while being ill. There was no flexibility or understanding applied. While I comprehend that rules are in place, the lack of phone support and refusal to consider my illness or circumstances is troubling. How can such an unfair decision be made when I attempted everything possible to resolve the issue?

One of the most unreasonable baggage policies...

The company has one of the most unreasonable baggage policies in Europe. An 8kg combined cabin limit is already absurd, but charging €60 for two travelers due to one bag being slightly over, while our checked luggage was within limits, feels like blatant fee exploitation. We were traveling together. Their initial action was to impose a €30 charge per person. Only after redistributing our belongings did they “permit” us to pay €30 instead of €60 — as if they were granting us a favor. There’s no flexibility or common sense. The staff seemed cold and robotic, clearly trained to extract fees rather than assist passengers. This is not about safety or operations; it’s purely about squeezing extra money at the gate. A disgraceful practice. I would recommend avoiding this airline.

Lack of customer support

The FAQ section is underdeveloped, and there is no customer service available, leaving no options for finding guidance apart from standard information regarding baggage.

Unpleasant experience with baggage fees

This morning, I had my first bad experience with the company. Weighing bags at the gate is not something even the lowest-cost airlines do. I was barely over the limit and charged €75 for what they claimed was heavy luggage! Outrageous for just 13kgs. It seems this policy was introduced recently. The new leadership appears to be playing games with passengers. Many were charged this morning; do they think passengers will spend money during the flight or leave in a good mood? I will avoid this airline in the future.

Annoying marketing tactics

The company can disturb your sleep early on the morning of the flight with an important message titled - shop on board at excellent prices! Quite bothersome.

Consistently delayed flights

I don’t understand how they can sell tickets for connecting flights with just a 30-minute gap, especially when delays are frequent. It puts passengers under constant stress, as there’s no guarantee the connecting flight will wait.
