SCAMMED: When a boarding agent think he works for the German border police and refuse to let you board

Not only they refused to let me board a flight I paid for, but also they didn't offer any alternative solution. They literally scammed me. And all of this because their uneducated agent didnt understand the German residence papers I had. And after complaining to their support they offered to return 13EUR only and without even apologizing for their mistake.

I have been working in Germany for almost two years and am well-acquainted with the travel and immigration requirements. However, when I presented my valid papers at the check-in counter, one of the staff members adamantly refused my boarding. Despite my attempts to explain and clarify the legitimacy of my documents, he did not listen, displaying a level of arrogance and rudeness that I had never previously encountered. I asked to see the boarding manager, but I was informed that she wasn't there for the whole day (which is shocking for airlines).

To my dismay, his decision was not based on accurate knowledge of entry requirements into Germany. Another agent from Nouvelair, recognizing the validity of my situation, consulted with Lufthansa representatives at the airport. They promptly confirmed that they would have allowed me on board with my current documents. Despite this, the staff member persisted in his incorrect judgment, leading him to abandon his duties, close the check-in counter, and leave me stranded.

The subsequent handling of my situation was equally disheartening. I was informed that rescheduling my flight wasn't an option, leaving me without the service I had rightfully paid for and without any compensation or alternative solution.

Subsequent to this regrettable experience, I approached the Tunisair (another airline) office in the airport. There, I was welcomed courteously, my documents were duly checked, and I was confirmed for a flight the next day. I successfully boarded a Tunisair flight and faced no issues upon my arrival in Germany. This unequivocally proves that my travel and entry papers were in order.

In choosing Nouvelair, I had anticipated a level of professionalism and service, but I was sorely disappointed. Due to this mishandling, I have:
- Lost the value of my initial ticket with Nouvelair.
- Incurred an additional cost of 1261 TND for a new ticket with another airlines.
- Paid for overnight accommodation.
- Spent extra on taxis.
- Faced inconvenience at my workplace due to the unexpected absence.

DO NOT USE THIS AILINES. YOU WILL GET SCAMMED

Flight denied with no logical reason

My mom was not allowed to take her flight, booked online, at 6 AM from Tunis to Paris on August 24th 2023.
She lives in Italy with a regular Italian residency permit. They asked her to show an extra tiket, either by bus/train or plane from France to Italy in order to give out her tiket and let her go!!!!
She took several similar flights with different companies in the past and this STRANGE request was never happened before!! They did not gave out any written excuse that we could use to ask for a refund from the online company we booked with. We believe that we were SCAMMED by this unprofessional and rude company.

Flight with Nouvelair Was awful

Flight with Nouvelair Was awful. I usually don't give bad reviews but:
2 hours late, 1 hour because of delay on the Flight, 1 hour because air hostesses couldn't manage the luggage and there was no more space for the suitcases so half of the people were jammed in the corridor and couldn't move, 1 hour to manage the boarding, absurd.
No wifi. No telephone charging. I repeat awful

Worst Airline I Have Ever Experienced

Experience over 8 hours of delay on both flights en route and return flights. I have no idea how this company is still running. I would give a 0/5 if that was possible. Please avoid using at all costs. There is no way of contacting the airline to discuss compensation either.

The worst flight experience. Wish I’d read reviews before..
- Delayed flights and no updates were ever given
- Sped through the safety briefings
- Flashing lights on the plane internally
- Let passengers smoke on the plane

Not the one.. don’t do it!!

Worst company yet!

I have never had a bad experience with any flights until this one. Delayed both on the way to Tunisia and the way back! Aircraft attendants were rude and one member sat in the back on her phone while the other lady was working. I must admit the pilot on the way back to London was amazing and funny had the whole flight laughing. well done to the pilot of flight BJ844 24/06/23 from Tunis to Gatwick you made my day.

I've never had such an awful experience with an airline.
3 hour delay going out.
4 hour delay going back.
No communication either, we was just left waiting around to be told something.
Not even an apology either when we finally got on the planes.
Very rude staff.
Woman was ill on the plane and they was reluctant to even give her a cup of water!
Disgraceful airline. Avoid if possible.

I’ve never had such a bad experience flying. Rude staff, flight delayed by 4 hours+. I can’t believe how they’re still operating personally. If you have any sense, please spend the extra £50 and avoid this horror show.

4 hours delay, connection missed and they refused any compensation

I recently had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience with Nouvelair on my flight from Tunis to London. The airline's complete disregard for customer satisfaction and refusal to take responsibility for their mistakes left me utterly disappointed and inconvenienced.

To begin with, my flight was delayed by a staggering four hours. This kind of delay is completely unacceptable, especially considering that I had an important connecting train to catch in London. As a result of Nouvelair's incompetence, I missed my connection and had to bear the burden of additional expenses and tremendous inconvenience. I arrived 5 am in the morning instead of 10 pm at night as there was no more trains late at night.

Upon approaching Nouvelair's customer service to address the situation and request a refund, I was met with an astonishing level of indifference and unprofessionalism. The representatives displayed no empathy or concern for my predicament. They simply shrugged off the issue, stating that the delay was due to technical issue and that the airline held no responsibility for missed connections.

What truly infuriated me was their outright refusal to provide any compensation or reimbursement for the financial losses I incurred due to their delayed flight. It is evident that Nouvelair does not value its customers or their time. Their lack of accountability is simply unacceptable, and it leaves me questioning their commitment to customer satisfaction

Worst customer service

Worst customer service

I booked a ticket for Tunisia on 8 Apr 2021, unfortunately we weren't able to travel as the country went into the 'red zone and I have to cancel the tickets. They told me they would give me a voucher valid for a year and if not used will be refunded.

Fast forward to today I haven't gotten my refund. It's really annoying when you paid for a service that was never used. I emailed them but never gotten any response.

Such a waste of time and money chasing them.
