Dis Guy: He'll like to anyone to share their general experience i presumeyeah, that's more like it. Do they provide good service? How's the quality of the flight in general? How safe really? Am billed to travel with them this weekend. I need to know how good they are so I can either do this or make alternative arrangements of mine. |

Medview booking was good. I booked on Friday night and travelled Monday. My flight was for 12. So checked in at 11. Got my boarding pass and at 11:30 we we called to board. We showed our I'd card and some dudes had a soft copy of theirs. Flight was for 12 but we were delayed for 15 minutes. No explanation was given and we didn't ask for one actually. Go to Abuja at 13:22 after dept Lagos at 12:15. Refreshment was served Their air host are a little unprofessional but it generally was an ok flight 2 Likes |

Okay. So, I travelled with MedView and will like to share details of the flight. I hope this will help someone else make their own decisions when they decide to travel with MedView: Booking: Booking online is pretty straightforward. MedView's website is good, displaying flight times on multiple dates at the same time. This is in contrast to Arik's site which displays flight times on only one day. Among the options of payment is a kind of Aero's book-on-hold which lasts one day. Check-in: Flight time was 1900hrs. Got to the airport with a shuttle at 1500hrs and was able to check in without problems. Boarding pass is typed out with name, flight number and other details. This is unlike Aero and sometimes Arik(?) who write out your flight details by hand on the boarding pass. Check-in attendant was friendly. Service was prompt. Flight departure time:very punctual. Boarding started exactly 30mins earlier as stated on boarding pass. Flight departed exactly 1900hrs. Never had this kind of service in a long time with either Arik or Aero. Plane:When we got on the tarmac and were about to board the plane, all my admiration for the company kinda sank. The moment I saw the plane, I knew it was a 737, but certainly not a modern one. It looked rather dirty with dust patches on some parts of the plane. It also looked old. Entered the plane and finally confirmed it was a 737-400. 737-400s were last manufactured in 2000, making the plane at least 13 years old. Certainly it'd be much older. Later learnt their fleet has got many 737-400s in it, with perhaps just 1 737-800. Aero has got quite a number of 737-800s. The plane's interior also looked old. Flight:Flight was riddled with turbulence. In spite of that, the Nigerian pilot didn't leave the seatbelt sign turned on. I thought that was unprofessional as flight culture demands seatbelt signs are left turned on if turbulence is much. And it was much! In spite of that, it was a fairly okay flight. Take-off was smooth. Landing was the usual you get with most pilots without finesse. The plane bounced at touchdown. Apparently, nothing to do with plane, but much to do with pilot's competence. Overall, I would say the pilot conducted a good flight. Very few number of people in the plane itself. Evidently, the company is yet to gain wide trust. Crew:Rather unprofessional crew. Reminded me of what someone posted here earlier about that. Chief flight attendant kept screwing up her English as she made several announcements over PA. Crew was friendly though, but always had that hostile "Nigerian girl" look on their faces. They looked poorly dressed and tired, which is forgivable since it was a night flight and they might have had to make several trips already. Before take-off, they continually blared Nigerian songs over the speakers, even some with lewd lyrics. Refreshment was served, handed out. Pretty much the best you can get on a local flight. Conclusion:Landed in lagos, MMA2. Flight was a good one. It was usual and routine, even though I didn't enjoy it cos the state of the plane itself kinda worried me. So, that's the detail for anyone wishing to take MedView on their next local trip. 5 Likes |

Medview airline is one of the emerging airline in Nigeria and first ever to use Boing 767 aircrafts. So far I dont have any issues with their services. They are soon commencing their operation to london so i guess you can book your tickets at www.medviewairline.co.uk if booking from london. Keep an eye on early bird offers and save money on advance booking. Prices are usually cheaper if you book well in advance. |

Anyone flown medview from London Gatwick Airport? Kindly drop your general overview of flight, your experience!!! NB : Check in experience, inflight experience etc etc etc Thank you |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Rishard(m): 1:40am On Dec 24, 2015 |
Lexusgs430: Hey check out @BMshelia on twitter. He recently travelled on medview from Lagos to London and he provides a fair review. Check it out |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Lexusgs430: 3:16am On Dec 24, 2015 |
Rishard: Thank you. Read his detailed and pictorial summary. If I fly them, I would also post a review. Compliments of the season. |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Rishard(m): 8:23am On Dec 24, 2015 |
Lexusgs430: I'll be flying them too. You're welcome and compliments of the season to you too. |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Lexusgs430: 8:58am On Dec 24, 2015 |
Rishard: I don't blame you o, £429 return is tempting!!! |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Rishard(m): 11:41am On Dec 24, 2015 |
Lexusgs430: Exactly and a free ticket on the gatwick express to Victoria. 32kg luggagex2 it's a no Brainer really. The monopoly BA and Virgin have over the London-Lagos route is alarming. They treat naijas like crap on their old planes too. Hopefully Bankole goes right with Medview where other airlines have failed. |
Re: Has Anyone Flown With Medview Airlines? by Lexusgs430: 12:10pm On Dec 24, 2015 |
Rishard: Which Bankole? Dimeji? |
