I have to say I was a bit skeptical about kiwi. but I can say that I am pleasantly surprised by the information, either in the application or through support via messages. although I had an extra paid support service and I don't know how it works with the basic service, but it worked well this way. I had a few questions and issues that were resolved and answered. you even alerted me to the flight delay of 20 minutes, which had not yet been seen even at the airport. what I find a little annoying are some packages that I don't need in 90% of the time, but they are presented on the website in such a way that I can't do without them and that I actually have no chance of flying without them.
