Whatever was good was diminished by the late delay from Nairobi which caused the missing of our flight to Seattle then we were connected to another flight to Miami which also caused the missing of flight to Seattle again delaying us for several hours in Miami

My laptop in checked suitcase disappeared. The check in lady asked about it and found this very curious. She made me sign something when I insisted it remains in my checked suitcase. Robbery without violence.

Flight canceled twice. Second cancellation with no notice. Qatar only got me to Copenhagen even thou flight from Copenhagen to Helsinki was code shared with QR they made me purchase a separate ticket for over 200€. At check in only 1 check in was allowed. I had to argue with staff to allow the second, carry-on sized, bag to be checked in for free. My original tix allowed 2 full size luggage as checked luggage. My 14+hr flight turned into a 60+ hr journey. 😢

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

Very efficient and professional staff. Food was good and so was entertainment selection.

There was not enough food for everybody. Some dishes were missing.

My carry on bag was taken by Alaska Air as we boarded in LAX! She said there was not room. There was plenty of room. I told her that my meds and personal items were in it. She did not care. She said it would be sent to my final destination, Nairobi. Well it got to Nairobi the day I was to fly home. The handle of my bag was crushed so could not retract. So I had to remove it. I had to buy converters, malaria medication. personal items. I filled out the missing form at the Nairobi airport. I asked that it be shipped to the Kisumu airport. When it was obviously not going to make it for my time in Kenya. I asked that it be sent to John Wayne Airport. NONE of that happened. I only knew it was at Nairobi because my air tag indicated it was finally in Nairobi the day I was leaving Kenya! Now I need to purchase a new carry on bag!!!

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

My Tv don’t work the whole from Doha to New Delhi. Overnight didn’t work from Bos to Doha and had to eat food without light

We encountered a glitch when we tried to board the flight because our boarding passes had been printed by Qatar Airways in Jakarta. Those were not recognized by Alaska’s system also we had to step out of line and have new boarding passes printed.

Very poor service, will never travel through saudia airline also worst experience at jeddah airport, all the people act like very racist even we belong from a same religion but they don't have any humanity. Very big language barrier no one speak proper English so they don't understand us very poor service. I was traveling with family and with infant they give us very hard time. No one like to answer a question and there attitude is extremely no welcoming. Not recommended specifically jeddah airport and their services and staff. Will never take layover or any flight through jeddah. Thank you

They lost the stroller and car seat which they found after 4 days, and on the way back they damaged the stroller.

Apart from chaotic boarding - which I totally understand was outside the control of gate staff. It was comfortable mid haul flight. Well done to cabin crew for their patience and hospitality with largely elderly passengers returning from pilgrimage.

I think the staff was short. Being Vegan, I ordered a custom meal. The meal was not provided both two ways. I assume they forgot. They were short on staff. It was taking for ever to provide service. people were getting restless.

It’s very tiring journey with only 3 seats in a row and not good for family of four. Online checkin don’t work and unable to select the seats while going.

Economy seats are better than most other international airlines. Crew is nice, food is halal and pretty good. Seatback tv selection is ok, not great. Wifi is poor and crazy expensive, "free" messaging lasts 15 minutes and capped at 3mb, full flight plans are $50 USD and still very tightly data capped.

Make all food options available, than running out even before mid way through the service

Food could be better. Bread should be warm served with butter. Bread quality is bad and cold served.

Route from DC was ok nothing special or bad From Jeddah to cairo horrible First flight got delayed by 3 hours no explanation so what ever Arrived in cairo to find lock on my bag Saudia crew in cairo didn’t know who did could not open had to break my bag zipper to open my luggage

Good variety could have been better; crew not as friendly

The cabin crew were kind, helpful, and polite. However, my flight from Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt was delayed, causing me to miss my connecting flight. As a result, my journey was significantly extended, leading to a much longer travel time than originally scheduled.

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

Early arrival. Good boarding. Deplaning this flight is very slow both coming and going. Baggage arrived quickly for Pearson

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

Poor boarding with incorrect gate numbers. Poor service they told me to throw away brand new water bottles. Poor immigration officers most likely American who hates Muslims. Poor service in the plane with no Urdu language sign posted anywhere. Horrible seats with no comfort at all they think people traveling in economy are animals. Slow food and water services. Slow baggage arrival.

The seat was like there is no leg space....there were no proper option for food in the airline. It seemed like the airline was at brink of bankruptcy. The crew was helpful except for a few.

Good range of movies but lacking decent tv shows. Wifi was really expensive on this flight, considering flights under 7 hours have a $9.99 USD charge for streaming, to jump up to $24.99 for a 7 hour 40 flight seemed a little bit of a rip off. Staff are inattentive, and really need to improve on the customer experience. The new airport is fantastic, as is the new lounge, a huge upgrade from the old airport and lounge!

Good leg room and I picked the seat in last 24 hours. Food was tasty with 2 full meals and first one smaller. The crew as expected courteous and on their toes serving extra water and items in between.

Etihad checkin boarding and insight experience is one of a kind that i have never experienced in other fights. The flight crew was very kind and helpful when i traveled with my broken leg. Overall i rate the highest

The legs room was not enough at all. The seats are not comfortable enough for long journey but other than that it was very good

Goin to Kenya from JFK was great. I was able to tell I needed help as I can not fly long distances in the economy idea of a middle seat. I became aware on a flight to paris where after the flight for about a month I had a pain in my right leg I feared might be a potential aneurysm + a weak bladder. Coming back at baggage check-in a let the attendant know and she changed me to an aisle, On check-in at the gate they asked if I paid extra for that seat and i said no and I told them what happened the lady downstairs just changed my flight seat and sent me to the gate to wait, the guy then said no the seat is a (I forgot the exact word he used) for sale seat and I said well she did not tell me that downstairs and then he said someone else had this seat and I said she was looking at the same computer screen earlier and I told her my conditionand she changed my seat. He sai come back later ans he'll see what he can do. I came back and he said the plane is filling up fast there was nothing he could do. On the flight there was an open aisle seat that I was able to take (a little earlier than the attendance liked I would admit - but the door was closed and we were about to take off) on. It turns out the seat was not "sold" because the tv screen and control were not working - no sound and no movies - they attendants said they tried to reboot but nothing fixed and it turned out someone knew the condition and just didn't tell me. It's embarrassing to have to tell everyone you see that you have an issue especially at airport gates where it seems everyone's impatient tempers are on full tilt. Beyond this the flight crew were professional and great -food was as good as airplane food can be (I have not yet tried business class to compare) and it was hot too. I will fly Kenyan Air again and recommend to whoever will listen. If you have a policy or mechanism on the Kenyan side I would appreciate knowing ahead of time what my options are. On the JFK side knowing I was a senior and had an issue got better attention. Thank You.

Flight was late! Why ? No one seemed to know. Looks like the planes windows were never cleaned. My phone camera refused to take a picture of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Flight was originally postponed and then delayed further. No communication at boarding gate or via What's ap or SMS to inform you of the new time so you can plan around it.. No explanations or apologies for the delay.

Horrible airline that charged me $300 for my luggage saying my bag was excess luggage when that flight was super empty. Absolutely ridiculous never flying with them ever again!

Flight was on time. Crew was amazing, minimal announcement interruptions, clean facilities and spaces.

Flight was on time and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food options were good.

Flight delay from Nairobi to JFK causing me to miss my connection. While at NBO waiting more than 5 hours for departure, no Kenyan Air representative made any announcement as to why the delay or when a new time would be given.

Very terrible airline. The flights were delayed for long hours and the customer service is terrible. Never flying with Kenya Airways again.

Paid an extra USD 100 for so-called Comfort seats. All of these (the bulkhead seats) had parents with babies and infants who were screaming much of the time. One mother even decided to change nappies on the seat. This was anything but comfort!

Front section of economy cabin is better than rear. Paid for seats selected.

Boarding was seamless, crew were great. Less disruptions on the night flight would have improved the experience and turning off lights earlier.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced on a flight. They downgraded my seat without giving me any other options, then sat in a seat with an arched back for 10 hours. I was not able to get ahold of any customer service representatives to understand what alternatives I might have, or how they will be handling a refund for the difference in fares between business and premium economy that I was downgraded to.

British airways needs to improve their luggage handling process and communications. The luggage was lost/left in UK. But, this was not communicated to me as a traveler and because of the wait at the carousel in Seattle (we have to go through customs and immigration on arrival to US) I missed the connecting flight and had to be rebooked. No one informed me that the luggage wasn't there, and there was no one there at the carousel to check with or help me get through security faster. I wasn't the only one- there were a lot of people waiting for luggage that didn't arrive.

My bags were lost. I waited in a line for 5 hours after I landed and got no resolution to the issue.

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.

Poor experience at Bengaluru Airport. Slow check-in process. Boarding calls were unclear and by number (no clarification given for priority groups) and were caught in wrong queue with infant based on what was written on ticket. Aircraft seat was not comfortable. Slow initial service for flight at 03:00 where most passengers wanted to sleep - did not seem right to be serving meal after takeoff. Poor quality breakfast in morning, not offered any tea/coffee alongside Only saving grace was that this was a night flight and the plane had free high-speed Starlink wifi.

Long haul flight and was really good. Comfortable plane and seats. Really great service all round and always willing to help. Lovely food and drinks (Tanqueray is my favourite Gin). Media was great and helped for the long journey.

Food and crew were consistent with a high-end airline. App is on the level of what you’d see for a small regional carrier. I was charged $600 in fees that the gate agent in London assured me I wouldn’t have to pay, additionally, the app charged an upgraded seat choice and then put me in a less expensive seat. No response to emails to BA asking for help with refund. Probably won’t use BA again if I don’t get a response. In the air, BA is a world class airline. On the ground, they seem to operate on the level of a discount airline like Spirit.

The wheelchair service was good. Staff and crew were helpful/supportive. The business of 'being overbooked' ....."you may not be able to travel tonight/we may have to put you in Economy'" was rather unsettling. Even Economy Plus in a MIDDLE seat felt cramped. The seating and experience felt very basic even though I had struggled to pay for extra - Economy Plus.

The entertainment system in the plane ✈️ didn’t work in our row… makes for a MUCH longer flight.
