Welcome to this new Flight Report where today we will be flying from Madrid to Tenerife North, one of the busiest domestic routes for Air Europa.
This trip starts in Madrid Barajas Terminal 2, UX Hub. Check in area was almost empty on this quiet Sunday evening:
Views of the Check In Area, there were only a Business Class counter available, but enough
Security was a breeze and after a few minutes I was on the airside which is quite old style and not so comfortable for boarding
Since I came early to the airport it's time to visit the Aena Lounge, Air Europa doesn't have their own lounges
As can be seen, lounge offered outstanding views over the Runway and take offs were able to be seen from your seat :)
Food and beberage Options were enough and it was an assisted Buffett, but there were sandwiches and drinks available too
Our airplane, a Boeing 737 came little bit delayed from their previous flight so big queues were made in order to board the plane, passangers in Business Class and Sky Team Elite Members boarded first
Once we boarded a cleaning wipe was provided and Mood lighting was on UX Colour: Blue. Seats were quite comfortable and the middle seat remained empty the whole flight.
Seat Pitch was enough for a Business Class standard:
Contents of the seat pocket were only the BOB menu and the safety card, no inflight magazine
Pre departure drink was offered and it was a choice of Orange Juice or Water
One hour after take off dinner was served and it was really tasty, there were no options just meat, wine and alcoholic drinks were complimentary served.
The rest of the flight continued quietly and we arrived at Tenerife North slighty delayed due to some technical problems before take off.
Air Europa still uses Old Style video screens and some pub from their destinations and corporate videos where shown, there was a limited Wifi connection to watch series and movies on your device but no onboard magazine.
It was an incredible flight where cabin crew did an amazing job !
Meal was great and enough considering the route and time.
Really recommend to fly on UX Biz!
Hope you have enjoyed and I remain at your disposal for any feedback you may want to share with me :)

That's crazy to me considering this is their main/only hub. I guess their operation isn't large enough to bear the cost of operating their own lounge.
Nice. PDBs are very rare these days, especially on short/medium-haul. They're just beginning to beginning to be re-introduced in the US. No PDBs on my recent IB short-haul J flights though, just a few weeks ago, so UX are doing better here
Wow, very impressive catering for a "domestic" flight! One thing Spanish carriers consistently excel at is good catering in short-haul Business class. Too bad there was only one option, but then again I imagine if someone requires a vegetarian meal (or other special meal type) they can be pre-ordered. Either way, looks great.
Thanks for sharing!
Now UX runs it with mostly 737 and the afternoon flight departure from MAD is usually a 787 for cargo reasons, flying domestic on a 787 is a unique experience nowadays :D
Regarding the lounge, as you mentioned their operation it is no large enough for that. They have 3 or 4 big departure waves during the day and the rest is just a few PMI/TFN flights..
Catering was trully tasty and a decent ammount, the dessert was the only one thing that was not my cup of tea.
Once again thank you for your comment, highly appreciated :D
