Cons: "nothing"

Pros: "like all the crews. nice attitude and friendly. very helpful to your needs."
Cons: "selected our (3 in a group) seats 24 hours before. but in Doha, the ground crew named Mohammed changed our seats . usually in usa you need to ask if you could do that. but that guy printed the new boarding passes and then said we change your seats. i told him that was rude and not courteous to passenger. he had no answer."

Cons: "The flight was 3 hours delayed - and the captain never told us exactly what was wrong. The boarding lane was a chaos as well - and the tv screens never really worked. Terrible!"

Pros: "Perfect"

Pros: "Food was good and crew"

Pros: "Great food, great seats, everything was smooth overall"

Pros: "The crew was very attentive and professional"
Cons: "Food wasn't great"

Pros: "From Doha to lax my assigned seat was 20K and some Isidore changed it before I arrived to Doha. Then I called in to get another window seat and likely got 29K. When entering the aircraft another moron changed to to 38E. I’m so definitely getting my refund for this customer service/ flight !"
Cons: "Take a while guess"

Pros: "Everything- leg space, crew were great, relaxed atmosphere, great entertainment systems"
Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "Need FREE WIFI and CHARGING Ports Which are ABSOLUTE MUST IN ANY AIRCRAFT."

Pros: "The service as usual on Qatar is excellent"
Cons: "2-2-2 setup is old style for business class and while the seats were nice it means either you are stuck by the window or need to move to let others out in the aisle"

Pros: "Crew was exceptional. QSuite very comfortable."

Pros: "Very efficient and comfortable flight."
Cons: "The airline appears to have done away with the courtesy pack, and this was the one time I was travelling without ear plugs!"

Pros: "seats were awesome, so as the food and the occasional snacks were delightful"
Cons: "My entertainment screen wasn't working, but since I got a window seat I didn't complain. Long time for a 12 h flight without video or something to occupy myself, but at least the USB port was working..."

Pros: "Friendly crews. Excellent food. Great service. On time arrival."
Cons: "They could provide hotel for transit passengers with long layovers."

Pros: "The flight attendants were outstanding. Anticipated requests, were readily available and attentive without hovering over you. QSuite was superb. Food was excellent."
Cons: "Nothing. Everything was fantastic."

Pros: "crew amazing,"

Cons: "Qatar Airways always goes beyond expectations in every detail of its serivices . Always top niche of Aviation company and wonderful travel experience."

Pros: "Flight was on time, touch down smooth"
Cons: "The screen for my seat was not working correctly so could not do anything except wait for flight to finish"

Pros: "Seat where comfortable and thank needed more leg space"
Cons: "Good was poor bcz going and back was same menu of choice of food."

Pros: "Liked comfort and srvice"
Cons: "Doha to Lahore flight plane was a bit older than Edinburgh was new and exciting"

Pros: "Food was good, and the crew were very patient and polite - went out of their way to make us comfortable."
Cons: "The aircraft seemed to be really old. The entertainment system on the seat I was allotted did not work, and I had to change seats. In the new seat, the entertainment system worked, but the seat didn't recline, and I had to change seats again - from an initially allotted aisle seat, to a middle seat. Also, the food service time was weird - we got a full lunch about an hour before we landed, which didn't make sense, and had to wait almost 5 - 6 hours between brunch and our next meal - a movie snack. Most passengers were famished by the time the lunch was served. Also, why was there no wifi?"

Pros: "I really like the Qatar flight from Auckland to Manchester. But beware now that the Akl leg leaves 1 hour later the transit in Doha is officially 1.15hr. But since the first leg is always getting in and you have to bus to the terminal, transit time is about 30 mins. Although they are efficient and i made it this time, i wouldn't want to do this with kids."
Cons: "Short transit time"

Cons: "Entertainment for a 4 hr flight was terrible"

Pros: "Museum of Islamic Art,"
Cons: "No"

Pros: "The service was excellent & food satisfying."
Cons: "The liquor variety could be better."

Pros: "Same as earlier flight"
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "Service is great, planes were on time or only minimal delay. Wifi access, food is pretty descent, blanket and pillow plus small package with toothbrush. Stewardess very friendly and helpful!"

Pros: "Fabulous service from start to finish Excellent cabin, spacious & impeccably clean Super choice of food and drinks We travelled in the business cabin which I have to say, rivals many so-called 'First Class' products. The crew were courteous, addressing us by name and nothing was too much trouble."

Pros: "Fabulous service from start to finish Excellent cabin, spacious & impeccably clean Super choice of food and drinks We travelled in the business cabin which I have to say, rivals many so-called 'First Class' products. The crew were courteous, addressing us by name and nothing was too much trouble."
Cons: "Boarding at Bali Airport is chaotic. This can hardly be attributed to Qatar Airways but this needs to be sorted out. When boarding began, it started with "Group 1" rather than business and other priority customers. It ended up rather chaotic with boarding halted at the end of the escalator causing a very uncomfortable situation as people struggled to get off the escalator."

Pros: "Good crew, fair choice of food and drinks and served whenever you want it. Good array of entertainment on offer but our flight was a 'sleeper' so after a fumble with the controls and the limited new releases, I opted to read instead. Not sure we like the Dreamliner configuration and levels of comfort more than the 777 or Airbus offerings but it was fine."
Cons: "A couple on our flight decided it was OK to have their 4-year old run around the cabin shrieking and causing a lot of fuss. Most of us in the cabin complained but these parents were pathetically weak and elected to allow it to continue. No sleep... spoiled experience.. miserable flight in this respect. Terrible Business Lounge 'Aspire' in Gatwick; dirty and poorly equipped - not even Prosecco on offer without paying £5 for a small glass. Qatar should stop using this dreadful place. Crew seemed to have stopped referring to the passengers by name and offer a less-personalised service in Business than we have become accustomed to. The food choices while good, have been paired back as have the selection of wines."

Pros: "I got an aisle seat. Bathrooms were not bad in terms of cleanliness."
Cons: "Service was ok. I was forgotten to be served items that other passengers were given. Seating ended up being kind of cramped as passenger in front was relaxing a bit too much. Entertainment was ok."

Pros: "The plane was Dreamliner. It was huge and nice. Great staff on board , very friendly ."
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "The crew were nice and very helpful. Vegeterian meal was great"
Cons: "It was cold almost for everyone and everyone used blanket, some people asked for second blanket."

Pros: "empty seat next to me!"
Cons: "more cramped than akld to doha"

Pros: "In time ,food"

Pros: "Very polite and friendly crew. Very helpful."
Cons: "Did not have the duty free item I wanted in stock"

Pros: "Overall a good service with good food."
Cons: "When flying from New Zealand to Doha, we departed Auckland at 15h25 and due to the time zone, most passengers body clocks would have been expecting sleep within a few hours. However we were flying West and thus into daylight. Sadly the window seated passengers were not asked to close their window blinds to block out the sunlight and many were left open. This made the cabin very bright and a difficult environment in which to sleep. Too much advertising before the on board videos, but otherwise content was good."

Cons: "My seat would not go back. The food was all carbohydrates and quite cool instead of warm. There was only one tiny piece of chicken in chicken roll."

Pros: "comfortable seats good service"
Cons: "nothing"

Pros: "The airplane seats in economy were comfortable for the very long flights I took with Qatar Airlines. The seats had enough room between the back of the other seat. The seat reclined to a comfortable position. The seat back provided a built in head rest. The TV's in the seats were the largest I have ever seen on a flight in economy. The staff were helpful and great. The food and drinks provided were decent!"

Pros: "Never spending too long waiting for anything."
Cons: "More realistic options to upgrade. Example I can board a train in London and upgrade to first class for £20 to Edinburgh. If you have a coach class or business class empty. Have capacity to feed extra or not. Last minute upgrades can be both a revenue stream and another option to further satisfy some customers. Particularly older generations that can afford and would fund such a win win appealing."

Pros: "Pilot's landing was top noch."
Cons: "During boarding there was a crowd with no possibility to maintain social distance. Crew should have given propper instructions to avoid that."

Pros: "As always, Turkish Airlines takes care of their customers with the best service."
Cons: "Seats could have been a little better."

Pros: "comfortable"
Cons: "some food was frozen when served (salad and cheese). Coffee wasn't that great either."

Pros: "The airplane was clean and nice The flight attendants were kind The kit (toothbrush lip balm, etc) provided was nice"

Pros: "Staff is the best, very accommodating."
Cons: "It was an old plane so not much comfort in business class"

Pros: "I did not like anything from this trip. I just learned my lesson not to travel with turkish airlines ever again."
Cons: "flight was canceled from previous flight so we had to overnight in istambul and the whole situation was handled very poorly nobody took the time to explain to me what to do and mind this I was traveling with three year old and I found myself crying at midnight at the airport not knowing what to do."

Pros: "Good food, excellent lounge in Istanbul and super comfy seats in the longer leg"
Cons: "Boarding crew did not have the required knowledge of visa process and made us wait 40 mins"

Pros: "For me everything was good"

Pros: "Amazing crew, confortable seats, great complimentary internet service"

Pros: "Food and service in business class were splendid."
Cons: "Absolutely nothing"

Pros: "Boarding and traveling comfort was good .As always staff were very good and attentive.Food not very good snd boring."
Cons: "Cc"

Pros: "The check in assistant put us on an earlier flight to Istanbul we didn’t mind as our next flight was at 8pm so had hoped to leave the airport."

Pros: "Really like the airline, sat in the front rim of economy. My husband is over 6ft and he was happy with the leg space. As was I since we flew right our 1 and a half year old boy."

Pros: "Good crew. Clean"
Cons: "A little late"

Cons: "Flight arrived 20 mins late. Luckily my connection is 12 hours later"

Cons: "My bag was lost"

Pros: "Crew and flight itself was great."
Cons: "As expected, the plane and seats were okay (borderline mediocre). The food wasn't enough and the choices (rather the lack of) were poor. The seats could be better and not particularly comfortable for a long haul flight."

Cons: "being treated like a drug dealer at the boarding gate #312 and having passport / boarding pass checked several times"

Pros: "todo la gente la comida la chltura me encanto esta ciudad espero visitarla pronto"

Cons: "Trip delay"

Pros: "Lot of empty spaces"
Cons: "Lot of rubbish on the plane"

Pros: "Largely pain free experience"

Pros: "I liked everything, from the inflight catering, check in, etc! I had to cut short my trip to Istanbul due to a family issue- they couldn’t do enough to facilitate a flight home at short notice at a minimum cost and most importantly expedited my return with the minimum of hassle- thank you Turkish!"
Cons: "No negative points to make."

Pros: "Nothing much to shout about this flight. It got there safely?"
Cons: "At 31" the pitch is terrible for a tall guy like myself. The screen was old and unresponsive, and there wasn't even a pleasant crew to supplement. How it won Best European Airline befuddles me."

Pros: "The staff were very welcoming and the seats were very comfortable"
Cons: "Flight was a little delayed"

Cons: "Seat Spaces awful"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "1. Flight late from Berlin to Istanbul. 2. That's mean missing my next flight from Istanbul to Riyadh. 3. I add extra baggage in TKL Airport : my original bag is 23 kg I have until 32kg, The extra baggage was 20kg, So I pay 247 Euro each extra kg 19 Euro. 4. In Istanbul airport they said your next flight tomorrow at 20pm. 5. I have important meeting in morning and my jop in the evening. 6. They changed my teket from turkish airline to Saudi airline 4.00pm, That's mean no different. 7. I ask about my baggage in turkish airline deck they said don't worry every thing will be okay. 8. I ask for hotel they said you have to make visa cost 60 dollars and you know I have to pay taxi and Chang money... Pla Pla, Actually this is not respecting and very bad organization. 9. I didn't make visa and stay from that time until 3.pm in primum lungs. 10. I went to Saudi airline deck to take my boarding. 11. They said you have extra baggage, I explain them that I payed already to turkish airline. 12. They said you have to go back to turkish airline deck about this extra kg's. 13. I did going back to them they said we cannot do anything, leave one bag here and we send the other one later. Actually this stupid airline and this stupid employee's dealing with me like a stupid, all my time I walk every where in that stupid airport, they just gives me orders and I have to follow like it was my mistake. 14. I showed my alfursan membership to Saudi airline deck and they helped me. 15. When I arrived to Riyadh my baggage wasn't there, this is mean that this stupid turkish people that the have to work on barbcue and haircut, but airports jop needs professional people. That's was my first and last flight with them."

Cons: "Small seats in the economy class"

Cons: "The worst airline I have ever flown with, worst disruption management"

Pros: "Food"
Cons: "After bus arrived at steps kept on it 20 mins. 2 more buses arrived in this time. Still wait. Then let out all at once. Massive queues to board. Poeple not dressed for this. Poor babies crying Maybe 15 mins waiting in 2am cold on tarmac."

Pros: "Infinitely superior to BA on the London to Istanbul route , in economy but especially so in business. Great entertainment whilst BA have non. Also full service meals in economy whereas BA make you pay on boatd"

Pros: "kayak was poop for help for me."
Cons: "The flight from BTV to JKF was cancelled day of departure, within a mere 4 hours of take-off. I only received an email.... This, in turn, caused a domino effect for the remainder of my flights and travel plans. I had to PURCHASE brand new tickets and go through a refunding debacle, not through Kayak but another third party whom actually held the tickets. FIASCO is the word! Kayak did not even recognize the cancellation and continued to try and check me in to flights i was not on. Such a headache.. I will not be using this service in the future"

Pros: "The flight was comfortable and the entertainment was good."
Cons: "There are not diverse food choices"

Pros: "Facilities are really nice"
Cons: "I only got one boarding pass at the check in."

Pros: "Hello the service was excellent"

Pros: "I am a disabled passenger. Turkish look after me well."
Cons: "No complaints. Good service"

Pros: "The services was excellent."
Cons: "Delay around three quarter an hour."

Pros: "The crew is always very friendly and helpful. Plenty of space in the overhead bins. Food is very delicious and you can always get either one of the options, whereas, in other airlines, you have to settle for the least favorite one if your seat is closer to the tail. They have sandwiches and cakes available during the whole flight."
Cons: "The seats are cramped just like any other airline."

Pros: "Turkish Airlins is so wonderful, and I really appreciate being treated like a human being at IST (unlike Schipol, De Gaulle, other airports to connect at around Europe)."

Pros: "Again a good solid basic service with good food well prepared and agreeably served by a pleasant staff. Thank you"
Cons: "Planes are a little small for a fairly long haul business service. Nice but small - so basic amenities."

Pros: "I liked the overall plane journey."
Cons: "Flight was delayed which caused us to miss our connection flight."

Pros: "Loved the flight and Aeroflot! Couldn’t be more punctual, the transfer is a breeze, very smiley and attentive crew and the food was soo tasty!"

Cons: "3 1/2 hours late!!!!!"

Cons: "More space between the seats"

Pros: "Evry thing but the dilay"
Cons: "If we arrive on time"

Pros: "Seat was very comfortable. Very helpful crew."

Pros: "Great gifts for children! However, there was no food for kids - apparently, I was supposed to request it in advance. This is something new, and I wish we were notified as soon as we purchased the ticket. We flew to Moscow in Sept. 2018 as well, and child's meal was provided without special requests."
Cons: "When I bought the ticket, it looked like 2 seats near the window or wall, but in reality there were 3 seats in the middle. The flight was comfortable but not what I expected. If I knew those were 3-people seats, I would've picked something closer to the front of the plane."

Pros: "The service por a 85 years old was poor"

Pros: "Movie selection is great."
Cons: "- Food is mediocre at best. - Slow boarding at Moscow, due to tiny waiting area. People had to queue long through small corridor and stairs, and then stand some more in the bus to the airplane."

Pros: "Crew was awesome."
Cons: "The transfer at Moscow airport is too slow. A huge jumbo jet of over 200 passengers gets re-checked only by two teams of security check assistants. Elderly and families are eager to pass the check-point as quickly as possible. And those guys in the airport are just not seeing the problem."

Cons: "Flight delayed after previous flight had been cancelled, no communication, awful customer service"

Cons: "Flight cancelled without communication, zero customer service, awful experience, will never fly Aeroflot again"

Pros: "best good food"
Cons: "good breakfast"

Pros: "Service was excellent. For this long flight, we chose premium economy. It was very good and a lot more room then standard economy"

Pros: "Comfortable flight and good timing."
Cons: "Vegetarian food is very poor quality."

Cons: "Can bend the seat, don’t have to walk and back on the airport"

Pros: "-"
Cons: "Old fashioned jet with no screen or wifi"

Pros: "Smooth boarding, excellent crew."
Cons: "Quality of the food could be better for a business ticket. Bread like a stone and not warmed."

Pros: "Both legs were not yet so I was able to spread out a little. Both flights were punctual, despite having to de-ice the plane before take off."
Cons: "The announcements were spoken very quickly. Both Russian and English. It was hard to understand , especially with the English translation"

Cons: "There are no screens and the entertainment app needs a lot of work, it’s not smooth. Add screens or make a better app. also improve the movie selection available."

Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "Everything nothing"
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "A simple connecting flight turned into a complete joke!!! Somehow, despite flying Aeroflot all the way from Sofia to St Pete, the tickets sold to us were sold via Bulgaria Air, which meant we had to collect suitcases and re-check them at Moscow, all while we were not checked-in for the second leg!! LastMinute.Com is hands down the WORST travel website in the history of travel websites, as the above was not disclosed at any time. NEVER again will I even entertain booking via them."
Cons: "LastMinuye.Com - the worst experience ever ... and now thankfully never again"

Pros: "It was a nightmare"
Cons: "It was a nightmare"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The flight attendants were slow and unprofessional. It took 3 hours to get dinner. Other airlines manage to feed passengers in Economy within an hour on the similar flight. But the worst part was that my luggage went missing. After it was found nobody let me know so it was just sitting there for three days before I could get a hold of someone. And then after multiple calls they finally said it would take another 5 days to be delivered 200 miles. So I ended up having to go get it myself. Not as much as an apology from them. Aeroflot is absolute garbage. Stay away from them."

Cons: "There’s not enough room for boarding all of the passengers. No sitting only couple seats. All people boarding that flight in Moscow were standing crowded in corridor!"

Pros: "Nuff said, having a gold Aeroflot card is nice"

Cons: "Food was horrible, boarding was in between 2 gates, easy to be missed"

Pros: "Plane handled takeoff, turbulence and landing incredibly well. Entertainment system was great. I was worried about my bag as I was coming from a connection from Sochi, but my bag went all the way without my having to retrieve and re-check it in."
Cons: "Special ordered the "Russian" meal. Absolutely delicious, but I had no idea what I ate."

Pros: "Nada, esta ha sido mi peor experiencia con una aerolinea."
Cons: "Yo venía con ellos de Nizhny a Moscú para luego agarrar el avión hacia Vienna. Llegamos con 2 horas y 45 minutos de tiempo antes de que saliera el siguiente vuelo. Bajando del avión nos atrasaron 40 minutos. En el counter mas de una hora y en migración otro poco de tiempo. Nos saltamos la línea al ver que no nos iba a dar tiempo y así fue. Llegamos 18 minutos antes y no nos dejaron entrar. Lo peor es que Aeroflot no nos ayudó y nos dijo que nosotros fuimos los que llegamos tarde. Lo mismo le sucedió como a 10 personas del mismo vuelo y cuando estabamos poniendo las quejas vimos por lo menos otros 10 de otros vuelos con la misma situación."

Cons: "No tv screen from cai to moaco9"

Pros: "Airport"
Cons: "They don't take visa if u have excess lugguge"

Cons: "Good service"

Pros: "on time efficient boarding - comfortable seating"
Cons: "no entertainment but who cares on short flight"

Cons: "I was in the cue to board the plane and the Aeroflot employee just told me that bording is closed, then 7 other passengers came after me and no one was allowed to bored. They literally just didnt let us enter the plane saying that boarding is complete and they don’t care."

Pros: "Don’t dare travel as two people and hope to seat together . You cant pick your seats during check in, they pick for you ... SMH"

Cons: "Very hot and stuffy in the plane, as usual."

Pros: "Good crew, good food."
Cons: "Bad airplane SSJ-100 (new, but noisy). Boarding was terrible!!! They started boarding 15 minutes early and we were waiting in bus 20 minutes to go to airplane and were going to airplane 15 minutes yet!"

Cons: "My flight got cancelled. We waited 2 hours inside of the plane and waited on a line at the register for another 5 hours. Horrible service from the airline. I was not willing to fly with them anymore."

Pros: "Good aircraft. Nice flight with professional crew. No delays."
Cons: "Poor snack (one sandwich and mineral water only)"

Pros: "Plane, level of service"
Cons: "Passport control at the UK border"

Pros: "Easy boarding from terminal directly to plane, no bus transport in between."
Cons: "Check in crew not very accommodating, although I was the first person to arrive at check in at 1:30 a.m., the desk operator professional, but not friendly."

Pros: "Generous meals with great food choice. Professional crew. Excellent choice of entertainment to fill the sleepless night."
Cons: "Unless I was doing something wrong, long-haul economy seats barely recline. Combine that with quite limited legroom, and an overnight flight can turn into a questionable experience."

Pros: "Generous meals with great food choice. Professional crew (even though live announcements are barely understandable). Aircraft seems quite new."
Cons: "Not once have I seen an Aeroflot flight to take off at the advertised time. Yet, online reports show a perfect picture, with an occasional departure ahead of schedule. However, that means only gate being closed. Further preparations take quite some time more, and actual take off can start much later than expected."

Pros: "I have flown Aeroflot 6 times so far this year. They have, by far, been one of the most courteous, helpful, polite and pleasant staff to work with."

Pros: "I travel quite a lot, domestically and internationally. Compared with United Airlines, which I use often, Aeroflot is way way better and ahead. For example, food alone, I can give 9 (in the scale of 10 with 10 being perfect) to Aeroflot, while I honestly think United deserves 1. In terms of service, Aeroflot is also very good."

Pros: "the crew was very good but the food was very bad frozen can't eat it is will never fligh again with this flight"

Pros: "Fast boarding at Sheremetyvo Airport."
Cons: "Food was awful. No tea or coffee after the meal. Long delay at Sheremetyvo on taxeyway for de-icer. Audio system on in flight entertainment was high pitched. Screen was dark even with added contrast. Seats rather cramped."

Pros: "Some of the typical premium economy features in the economy class - like the slippers and eye masks, open snack bar, menu for meals."
Cons: "Limited choice in alcohol. No whiskey. No healthy options in snack bar."

Pros: "Some of the typical premium economy features in the economy class - like the slippers and eye masks, open snack bar, ice cream between meals, menu for meals."
Cons: "Limited choice in alcohol. No whiskey. No healthy options in snack bar."

Cons: "I had a very bad experience with my trip. I was not allowed to get on the plane from miami to moscow because i did not have a russian visa, even though i had a visa for Belarus, my final destination. How would i know that the flight from russia to minsk is a domestic flight? There is no information online about needing a russian visa when being a transit passenger in Moscow. I was not offered any refund for my ticket and the cheapest option was to pay an extra 600$ and fly in 2 days to NY JFK and from there to fly to Moscow-Vilnius. My flight from Miami to JFK was very delayed with American Airlines and i missed my connection to Moscow. I had to pay another 100$ and fly the next day to Moscow. That fight was again delayed and AGAIN i missed my connection to Vilnius. I got to the gate 20min before the take off time but i was not allowed to get on the plane.I had to fly later that night. The whole trip, which was supposed to take 14 hours ended up being 4 days and almost double what I originally payed, not to mention the stress and waste of time. If i knew how the trip would pan out I would never have taken this route."

Pros: "Actually everything"
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "Yes, very clean ,respectable and helpful."
Cons: "A cup of coffee early in the morning would have been magic but, we were told it's a short and fast trip. They served a very nice fresh sandwich and juice."

Pros: "Being direct flight"
Cons: "Food, seats"

Cons: "How you book for me two tickets and you take the money for same day going and retuning"

Pros: "The captain"
Cons: "Food"

Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "I liked the new airplane. Compared to my jfk-cai flight the plane was spotless and everything worked. I didn’t feel like I was on a flying greyhound bus. The crew kept the bathrooms cleaner which was great."
Cons: "I was very disappointed that I couldn’t bring water through the gate security in Cairo to jfk. There was nowhere to purchase water after the gate so I felt dehydrated and inconvenienced by having to ask for water so many times."

Pros: "Airport facilities"
Cons: "No entertainment at all in the plane."

Pros: "New planes"
Cons: "Timing"

Cons: "Food was not it should be for business class"

Pros: "Crew was good."
Cons: "Business class is very basic. Flatbed seats, but they are side by side, like economy. So if you have a window or center seat, you have to climb over someone to get out to use the bathroom. Very annoying, especially for the person being climbed over."

Pros: "Friendly and professional staff."
Cons: "Better food options, being a vegetarian, nothing was available"

Pros: "It was cheap but I would not do it again"
Cons: "I made friends with another passenger who when texting his number introduced himself as ‘XYZ, flight from hell’. That pretty much sums it up but here’s a laundry list of issues I faced on the trip 1. They landed us in a different airport in China and did not inform us on how to get to the other airport (PVG). After several failed attempts of catching a taxi that accepts Visa or US dollars, we finally got a bus that ferried us 2. They also did not automatically transfer the luggage, so I had to carry my two checked in bags to the other one and then stand in a 45 min queue to get them checked in again 3. Unhelpful ground staff 4. Delayed second flight. After a shitty eight hour long layover, we got another 2 5. Horrible food 6. No ear plugs are available in the plane 7. Not a single apology from the crew about the delay Also, anyone who doesn’t speak mandarin needs to understand that the crew in China is not well equipped to understand and help you, so be prepared to have the translation struggle"

Cons: "Food is meh"

Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"

Pros: "Short layover, very good price."
Cons: "Very obvious the crew (at least in my section) have a problem with Non- Chinese people. Their attitude changed to others as well as me when they are asked for something. Very noticeable!!!!!!"

Cons: "food"

Pros: "Good selection of movies"
Cons: "The food were not fresh and ill prepared"

Pros: "I do not think the check in staff could have been any more useless, they wanted us to collect our luggage at every transfer, the plane was cramped, obviously made for people a lot shorter than my 6 ft, majority of the food was not edible for western people. I will not be using them again."

Pros: "Friendly staff"
Cons: "Very disappointed with seat, choice of movies and food was not edible. Very poor when compared to business class on other airlines."

Cons: "The food!"

Pros: "Food, service on board"
Cons: "Im not realize that my luggage is not direct to nagoya, so i need to claimed my luggage, re-check in and imigration in shanghai. I just have 2,5 hours to do all stuff. Thanks god i make it to onboard in time with help other passanger that let me do immigration check first."

Pros: "Friendly staff"
Cons: "All was good."

Cons: "Quality of the food and entertainment on board were both appallingly poor!"

Pros: "Everything was great! Except that we took forever to depart! Would still recommend it. :)"

Cons: "Website doesn't work Customer service unreachable by phone Not able to check large baggage (musical keyboard) without prohibitive fee (1000 usd +)"

Cons: "The flight was delayed for half an hour, and then waited in the plane for another three hours before take off. I guess a few hours of delay is normal when you fly in China. The passengers waited seating in the plane for more than 3 hours not knowing the reason of the delay nor when will it take off. There were no choice of meal. The meal was very basic and was with too authentic flavor and material. Rice was undercooked and compressed in rectangular shape probably by food producing machine. No individual grains can be seen. There were no individual monitors or entertainment available, but understandable, considering that it is a two and a half hour flight."

Pros: "Cabin service was awesome!"
Cons: "Food was quite poor."

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"

Pros: "Good! I slept through the whole thing."

Pros: "Terrible"

Pros: "Staff were friendly"
Cons: "Delayed for over three hours!"

Cons: "Our flight was delayed by more than 3 hours. I knew about it because I got email messages from Kayak informing me of this delay about 4 hours before scheduled takeoff. But the airline officials did not tell anyone about the delay and the Gate kept showing the scheduled time. Even when we asked the officials, they would not say how delayed the flight was going to be, although Kayak knew about it. It was very insensitive on their part to keep passengers waiting indefinitely at the Gate when they knew all the while how delayed the flight was. I wish they would learn to be more honest with their passengers."

Pros: "Great service, start to finish. Food was good, great hostesses and hosts, smooth flight."
Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "It was the best airplane food I have ever had, service was good"
Cons: "No phone policy is a huge con and will probably make me avoid China Eastern in my future, and this particular plane wasn't too comfy"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Rude flight attendants that don't speak good English, food is horrible, they need better options, did not accommodate my peanut allergy"

Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing ... all went well"

Pros: "Staff"
Cons: "Food"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Arrived 2 hours before flight time (1315) but massive queue at bag drop and security. When got to security it was already 1230 and gate is closing in 25 minutes, I talked to people for a quicker access but to no avail. When I got through security, it was 1305 and the gate was closed. About another 12 passengers on the same flight could not board the same flight. When I talked to someone At the end another is arranged at 1625, only delayed until 1900 for boarding, and took off at 2000."

Cons: "Just horrible"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Don't plan on being able to use any of your electronics on board the aircraft. Terrible in flight entertainment from the American funniest home video days that you watch on a community 12 inch monitor from down the aisle."

Pros: "Smooth flight"
Cons: "Long layover in shanghai"

Pros: "The crew on the plane were very nice. The staff at the check in somewhat redeemed themselves when I had asked for an escort to the next service counter they sent me to and to notify customs and security that I would need assistance getting to my flight. I was traveling solo 5 mo the pregnant with a 3 and 5 year old that had been sleeping in strange places and standing in line after line to get us home for 2 days. They got us through efficiently expediting us through lines to get us to our gate as they were boarding, I had never been so glad to leave an airport so much in my life."
Cons: "The service/ check in at the domestic terminal Was extremely chaotic and haphazard. I was directed to the international check in desk where it didn't open until 8 am and our flight was at 9:05. I and some other travelers waiting had an issue with a women at the international terminal where the service people would not call security or escort her from the area where she was making other travelers feel unsafe and uncomfortable. When finally checking in after waiting 2 hours for the counter to open, I was told to go to another service counter to check in."
