About

Airlinair was a French regional airline headquartered in Rungis, France. The airline operated scheduled regional flights (some which were on behalf of Air France) as well as aircraft lease services. Airlinair had operating bases at Paris-Orly Airport and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport.

Airlinair was founded in 1998 and began its operation in May 199. The airline was founded by four principal shareholders: Lionel Guérin (80.5%) and Brit Air (19.5%).

Airlinair ceased all of its operation in March 2017 after its merger in HOP!.

Baggage Policy

Airlinair had different baggage policies for carry-on and checked baggage.

Carry-on Baggage

Airlinair passengers were allowed to bring one personal item no bigger than 45 x 36 x 20 cm(including any handles and wheels).

Carry-on baggage must fit in the overhead lockers and under the seat in front. 

Checked Baggage

Due to international health and safety regulations, checked baggage couldn't weigh over 32kg and it couldn't exceed the permitted size allowance.

Miles which were earned through Flying Blue can be used for award flights, upgrades to cabin classes, purchases of additional ancillaries and more.

There are four tiers within the program: Explorer, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The higher the member you are, the more benefits you get such as priority check-in, extra baggage allowance, lounge access, and more.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
