Flew REX Adelaide-Coober Pedy and back. What can I say? The check-in was easy, the flight left on time, the plane was small but seats comfortable, the onboard staff were professional, the snacks... don't remember, the flight arrived on time, our bags weren't lost. No complaints.

Absolutely woeful

published

Having flown almost weekly with this airline for 10 years I have seen it become more of a joke every year, as flights are seriously delayed about 70% of the time. If any other airline flew my sector I would not fly Rex.

Bad service

Left my luggage behind and called customer service they say they dont handle baggage and really didnt want to help me

Recent trip from Burnie/wynyard, Melbourne & return

published

My wife & Myself had the recent occasion to travel with Rex, wheel chair assist required at each end of journey,
Car pick up at MELBOURNE conveyed to reception, assisted with luggage, wheelchair assist to taxi ramp, which had been ordered prior to arrival by Rex,, Attendant waited until departure., exactly The same assistance provided on return journey. Excellent service, that some of the larger airlines could learn from. What a delightful experience, WELL DONE REX we will travel with you again in near future, Good Flying,
Rob & Muriel Brakey

Great flight and on time

published

Fantastic flight, flight attendant and pilots were helpful and friendly, and arrived on time in Sydney. Last minute booking and cost was great.

Don’t book REX without insurance - appalling mismanagement of flight delay

published

Passengers not notified until 5hours after decision taken to delay flight. Engineers not bought down to fix plane overnight. Charter planes not considered. Travel agents not informed. Passengers not priority booked onto next flight. Appalling service, truly appalling. I suggest that the regulator look into why maintenance schedule is clearly failing.

Completely unreliable.

published

Arrived in Sydney late yesterday afternoon from a Perth flight, only to find they had cancelled our connecting flight to Newcastle. So after paying another $270 to another airline, and an $80 cab fare, we finally arrived home! Never fly with this company, they are just plain unreliable, and ignorant. I think their excuse was that their pilot or crew had not turned up! Wow, good excuse. Also told us when we inquired for a refund, that we would have to go through Webjet (who did the booking) and that would take three months to get our money back. What a Company!!!

Consistently late

published

Consistently late - second time in two weeks that the delay has been 2 hours going Wagga to Sydney. No Apology or explanation. Avoid where possible.

Terrible service and rude

published

Flight delayed, no explanation and treating paying customers like cattle. If you book with them you deserve what comes your way

Rex what a joke

published

My daughter who has a disability travelled to Sydney today for medical treatment and was due to fly back to Taree tonight on the 6.05 flight. When she was dropped at the airport she was informed that the flight had been cancelled. No real reason was given nor was there any assistance offered to her. We have used Rex numerous times in the past and although not completely satisfied with the service thought it was a safe way for our daughter to return back safely. I will be going out of my way to ensure people in the Manning Valley and Forster areas know the risks when booking travel with Rex. Totally disgusted with them.

Complaint

Am disabled not very good with learning the lady at the departures desk was the rude I would love an like to here back about yous getting in contact with her an teaching her some customer service skills I all ready feel bad about my learning and working out skills and I only asked her a simple question and made me feel a lot worse about my learning skills. Her name was [name removed] and if I was as rude as her I could say a lot more about her I think she has more problems then me.

No understanding

published

I have 5 return flights booked for my family to travel to Parkes to see my Mum, Unfortunately mum fell ill and passed away before our planned visit. At the time of her falling ill I wasn't thinking and booked new flights for myself to see her and additional 2 return flights to attend the funeral with my husband. Obviously upset and not thinking I could have changed 3 of the existing return flights. Now with some time elapsed, I called Rex to explain the situation. We have no reason to visit Parkes at any future date. Rex offered only to place the flights into credit. I don't expect a full refund but a refund of 3 returns really should be a reasonable request.

Flights always cancelled with comments of “Oh but there will be another flight tomorrow”

published

No reasons given for flights cancelled between Adelaide and Port Lincoln today 6th Oct. NEVER again, thank You too Qantas for getting my Wife home albeit 2 hours later.
Not the first time either.

Amateur Hour

published

A mixed experience flying Sydney to Orange. A coffee voucher was provided on checkin which was welcome. Terminal arrangements were however poor. When delayed and disembarked due to technical problems we had to return via security again. Bus to aircraft and bus back. SAAB aircraft shabby and clearly in need of better maintenance.

Choose another carrier

published

I've been flying for business for 30+ years and for the first time today I was asked to surrender the tiny bottle of wine I had purchased in the flight from Sydney to Orange, NSW. I had consumed about 100ml and thought I'd keep the rest for later. Whilst rules may be rules I gave NEVER been treated like this by any other airline.

Not only was I required to surrender this little bottle, I was asked to do so in front of all the other passengers in the line to leave the plane and had to unpack my bag on the spot.

Terrible service - next time I'll drive to Orange.

Fantastic Service

published

I fly with Rex every week for work, and the service both at the airport and on board is very professional, 10/10!

flight delayed with 8 hours notice !

published

I received a text message at 11.09pm advising my flight had been delayed from 7.25am to about 10am. This was from Newcastle to Sydney ZL353 on 22/3/17. When I tried to call REX their office closes at 11pm, just before the text message.
This meant I would miss my 11.15am flight to Singapore. Had a chauffeured car booked to pick me up at 6am to get me to Newcastle airport by 6.40am, about 45 mins before my REX flight.
Luckily the hired car was prepared to take me to Sydney but it cost me $450. Thanks a lot Regional Express !

Never, ever again.

J.K.L.asked

I understand that connecting to an international flight within 24 hours after flying with Rex, the baggage allowance is 23 kilos. Does this apply when returning on an international flight then connecting with Rex?
