This is somekind of home work we had to do, we had to compare air fares...so..

AIR BERLIN

I think that the image of air berlin is quite okey,prices are normal or even quite cheap. Service is good and air planes are quite okey. Once I had a really scary experience,I was flying from german back to finland and we were flying with this really small airplane and it was rainy and windy and the hole plane was wubbling like it was a bout to crash!
