Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

Flight and entertainment great. Food needs to be improved, only one choice on the menu. Staff worked well throughout.

Crew were excellent and the bar service and chat fantastic. Cheese board delicious. Amenity kit good, very disappointing not getting pyjamas on this leg of the flight and needed to reuse from earlier flight.

Hospitality is good. Should improve on buggage handling because l lost a suitcase. Layover in Dubai was too long , 6 hours

They should resume the fast track for business / first class passengers

Most aspects of the flight were great! The entertainment was mediocre, though, which made such a long flight less enjoyable.

Check-in counter at the airport took more than an hour of standing in queue with online checkin. And after entering the gate the flight delayed more than 30 mins.

My flight was with American Airlines 120. The flight was delayed 3 hours and I missed my connection. When I arrived in Doha, the AA staff told me to call an 800 number to rebook a different flight, which was unacceptable. Eventually a Qatar Air staff member helped rebook me on a flight to Manila, that was 12 hours later. They offered me a hotel and meal voucher which I declined, because I didn’t want to leave the airport. Long story short, I spent 12 hours in the Doha airport waiting for my next flight.

There was frequent beverage ,meal and snack service. The crew was very hospitable and professional.

Good staff, good intent, decent entertainment. More seat space would always be of benefit

Just happy I flew Qatar Airways awesome no wonder they are #1 in the world right now! The food was just delicious, very courteous, professional crew.

They made us deliberate waste time by holding our passports and boarding passes making us miss the flight

Very very poor service. Authorities must take action against this airline immediately. Total failure to follow the rules and regulations of an international airline

Qatar Airlines code share with Indigo has been a terrible experience for me on these notes: 1. Indigo changed by flight without informing me of the change, they did not ask me if I am okay with the change. I discovered this change when I was trying to do online check-in through the Qatar mobile app. When I called Qatar customer support, they mentioned Indigo changed my flight due to the original flight being cancelled, but the fact is that flight was scheduled and departed correctly, it was never cancelled. 2. When asked why my flight was changed without informing me, they mentioned that they sent email/phone call to my travel agent, and it is was my travel agent that did not inform me, which again was another false statement. 3. I called Qatar Airlines (third call on the day of my trip) to request them to put me back on the same flight, they mentioned that they could for an extra $2500, as the original class I was booked on was not available, we are still talking economy only not business class, I said no way. 4. I called the travel agent, and they mentioned that they will work with Indigo and asked me to be prepared to travel on the later flight I was bumped to. While I was making my hotel/taxi arrangements for the new flight, I got a call and email saying they were able to get me on the original flight with no extra cost. So, after 2+ hours of talking to customer support, and a lot of stress on my last day of vacation, I flew back as originally scheduled, but this nightmare is just a horrible experience that I will never fly on Indigo/Qatar again. Thanks and regards, Vijay

need to improve management and air hostess services. Rest of it’s OK.

Good selection of drinks. Meet was fatty unfortunately on Qatar.

Trop from plane to gate at Qatar airport was very long .

The first segment from Atlanta to Abu Dhabi was fantastic, but we got downgraded to a different aircraft from Abu Dhabi to Delhi. We were supposed to be on a flatbed business class when we booked it but just about one week before travel, we were changed to A321 Neo, which just has old-fashioned business class seats that recline but don’t go flat. No TV either. While I fully understand that sometimes these changes have to be made for operational reasons, but I asked for some credit or compensation for that and I did not get any anywhere with that

The crew were really bad mannered! And spoiled all my mood throughout the flight!

The staff was excellent. They checked on my needs at the appropriate amount, letting me sleep when I needed, checking up when I was awake.

Maybe some more information as to why the flight got delayed I understand may be tell your customers that missiles were fired at a specific airport wouldn't be reassuring to the customers and would cause mayhem but something like recent events have cause a delay on your flight or smth

I liked the crew, the food and the foot space. I did not like the comfort of the seats.

In Colombo when I-drop my baggage Sri Lanka air line crew not polite way talk very rude

The check-in has been the very best so far I didn't get to use my priority access which made me feel like a paid a higher price with no benefit for that I loved the food Very tasty and hot The staff friendliness, empathy could be better as it was not linear amongst the whole crew Otherwise, no complaints. I'd still fly again via Etihad Great prices despite the long 6h of waiting time

Etihad broke my suitcase Also over charged me for luggage

Crew did not cooperate… I just asked water twice for one crew member and she didn’t get anything.. and when I asked other crew member he gave me water and he was not respectful.. I kept Hindu non veg meal chicken .. when I get my turn chicken was not provided and then they gave me veg paneer and green peas curry which I don’t like..

The food is good, but i am nit used to those foods so I can’t really be more detailed.

I had been keen to try this airline and I found the food great and appreciated the metal utensils. I found the seating space smaller than most. I am 177cm and was unable to reach down and pick up something off the floor because the seat in front was too close. One of our seats couldn’t be locked in to recline and the staff were sour and unhelpful. We were on 3 flights in a row and were only provided a total of about 700ml of juice / water for the 24 hour period. I recommend taking your own bottle on board because staff will fill it for you. I had to keep asking for water and they couldn’t come up with any better solution than 100ml at a time in a cup. I asked them to give me 2 x 500ml bottles of sparkling water that we could have to ourselves and the lady I asked didn’t want to give me the whole thing until another staff member understood the problem and overrode her. It would be handy to suggest people bring a refillable bottle on board.

Sri Lankan airline had less entertainment choices and Sri Lankan national carrier did not have language choices

Very poor. The flight was delayed for over an hour. Also, our baggage, including that of many passengers, approimately 180 bags did not arrive, and we are yet to receive it.

Poor, They have damaged my luggage and I have filed a claim at Colombo airport. They promised I will be in touch by the team within next 2 days but there is no One contacted me at all after 1 week. I then follow up again and received an email acknowledging my claim and claimed that they will reply in 12 days on investigation. Again, no response at all after that… Very disappointing…

All good, on time, depart.only bad side was, airxraft is too old to be in business.hope ailine will manage somethinv somewhat.all good

Was good, comparatively. A330, with good crew set.on time depature. And crew try there best, to make thing efficient.

Spesific ,Crew and cabin manager, look after all pax on board despite being in a old A320 equipment.Got free seat upgrade as well,but old style seats, no much comfert on it.But food and the spesific crew, was amazing.maintain airlanka standerd.the cabin manager, who was so much keen,keen operate as per SOP.

The staff was absolutely phenomenal but the other elements of Sri Lankan Airlines need some serious adjustments. The day started off with terrible news that the flight was cancelled from Male and that the plane went to Malta. As an American, when such delays occur, the airlines find suitable ways to accommodate their customers such as putting them in an Airport hotel or lounge while waiting for the next flight. A 1.5 hour trip turned into 12 hours with no accommodations from the Airlines except a ticket to eat breakfast. For such a Billion dollar industry, a cheap breakfast is an insult toward the customer and something greater should have been done.

Many changes need to be addressed from airport check in to flight departure. If they observe other major airlines, then they can expect what Sri Lankan airlines need to update their procedures.

Smooth takeoff and landing. Best service experience in all our travels over the years. Caring and attentive crew. Loved our flight to and fro.

The sitting for business class was very poor. It was cramped. Some of the seats were defective and could not be kept perfectly upright. If the passenger in front reclined, the passenger behind was trapped in a narrow space. I would consider other airways in the future.

Disappointed as we discovered when checking in at the airport 6hrs before the flight was scheduled, that we had been offloaded onto standby after having purchased these tickets months in advance. We had tried checking in online the night before but were unable to. BA had obviously over sold the seats, and we were told they couldn't confirm we could get on the flight until check in closed. Eventually we did get on but were not seated together. That was a bit of stress we just didn't need.

My flight from Athens to London was delayed 30 minutes. I got automatically booked on a different flight before the plane landed. However, I never received any notification about the new booking so I had zero knowledge about the flight number or even where to go. Checking in: it was absolutely impossible to check in for my flight online. I literally had to call British Airways to check in for my flight and select a seat. It was very inconvenient and a bit stressful.

I ordered a drink, but never got it. I ask what type of drinks they had and they could not tell me and there was not printed copy that I could find that is usually on most airplanes. They served dinner and never walk back to see if any need a drink or anything afterwards until they served the snack just before landing.

Check-in wait time was quite long (understaffed for the volume of customers), but energy and hospitality of flight crew was great!

I really enjoyed the flight…and food and the hospitality but didn’t get the food I requested for.

Everything was terrific. Kevin, and the whole crew, were exceptional. Five stars all around! Thanks so much.

Flight held at gate for other passengers. We ended up being late and missed connection

Should have more cosmopolitan food choices - too many Indian dishes - the only entree not Indian was lamb which I don't eat

The plane was ancient, and its technology was in disrepair. None of the charging stations worked, and the screens were barely functioning.
