A Deceptive and Disappointing Flight Experience
We flew with Fly Lili on an organized trip from Israel to Finland, both outbound (02/03/2025) and return (07/03/2025). Although we purchased tickets for a direct flight, both flights included an unplanned stop in Bucharest, extending the flight time by 3.5 extra hours – all without any prior notice or explanation.
On the outbound flight, we at least received a notification before departure, claiming the delay was due to "bad weather." However, on the return flight, we only found out about the extended flight upon boarding, leaving us unprepared. This time, the excuse given was that the plane was "too heavy" and needed a refueling stop.
Of course, after checking, we discovered the real reason: the crew had already worked 12 hours and needed to be replaced. Instead of informing passengers honestly, Fly Lili chose to lie and provide misleading excuses.
Moreover, the aircraft was not equipped for such a long journey – there was no coffee, no basic soft drinks like Coke, and no proper service for an extended flight. The seating was extremely cramped, making the experience even worse. During the stop in Bucharest, we were not allowed to leave the plane, forcing us to stay inside under uncomfortable conditions.
In conclusion, Fly Lili demonstrated a complete lack of transparency, misled its passengers, and failed to provide adequate conditions for such a long flight. A huge disappointment – we would not recommend flying with them. 🚫✈️
