Club Air

Upside
Flies between Italy and Albania, Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova.

Downside
Has encountered lots of financial turbulence along the way.

About
With a base in Verona, Club Air flies one of the best route maps for those traveling to Eastern European countries. A smallish airline, Club Air has gone through some difficult financial times in the past; in 2006, the airline shut its doors temporarily, resuming flights in mid-2007.

Club Air is not one of our more stable low-cost airlines, though this may change over time.

Baggage
* Carry-on: One piece of luggage, no more than 8 kg. And, according to their website, “hand suits” (yes, we pictured a mitten wearing a necktie too), or wardrobe bags, count toward that onboard allotment.
* Checked: No restriction on number of bags, but weight cannot exceed 15 kg. There’s a €6 charge for each additional kg.
