Cons: "The staff though friendly was found to be unhelpful. I was literally carrying three bags and a toddler in my arms, and passed by at least three crew members.

You don't flight to Cuba so missed all the next day flight to Cuba but you lost all four bags and not helping to get them back so missed the rebooked flights again, so stall waiting someone to find them."

Cons: "nil"
Pros: "Great service from all staff ,"
Cons: "Nothing"
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: "Everything"
Cons: "Non"
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: "The plane was Dreamliner. It was huge and nice. Great staff on board , very friendly ."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Attention to detail. Very professional."
Pros: "empty seat next to me!"
Cons: "more cramped than akld to doha"
Pros: "legroom"
Cons: "being in the middle of three"
Pros: "Boarding was great as well as comfort and crew. the flight was ok"
Cons: "however there was no internet and bad entertainment. You couldnt really navigate on Oryx One and it was hard to select the autoplay or map. There was no remote unlike the B787 between MAN and DOH. Pre-download things on laptops, tablets, phones or whatever ifyou are not going to sleep on the flight. It also took 3 hours because of UAE and Qatar :("
Pros: "Good movie selection, very friendly crew"
Pros: "Polite crew, food was pretty good."
Cons: "Did not have the duty free item I pre-ordered. I asked the crew 4 times about it, four times because they said that they would check but they never got back to me to tell me that it was out of stock; until I pressed the issue."
Pros: "Entertainment is very good"
Cons: "boarding hall was very small, food was below average for Qatar Airways"
Pros: "another whole row to myself which meant i slept for most of the flight. food was ok, not as good as on the first flight."
Cons: "headrest is no rest at all, very uncomfortable as it does not adjust other then up or down."
Pros: "Choice of flight from Utapao really was a no brainer. 45 minutes from home to departure lounge, had I flown from Bangkok I would still have been on the motorway! Everything went like a dream, a huge thank you to all at Qatar Airways, a true quality service."
Pros: "Excellent service from check in to disembarkation. I was surprised at the amount of leg room, as being a 6+ footer it has always previously been an issue, but not with Qatar."
Cons: "Only downside was the lack of the free traveller pack, eye shade and ear plugs, sleep was denied as I could not block out the sound of the very talkative travellers behind me."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and helpful. And the food choices were good."
Pros: "Excellent service..!"
Pros: "Just that the food is quite small but the variety is OK."
Cons: "Poor service, long layovers with not enough lounge space. Misguiding customer service"

Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "process quick and efficient"
Cons: "average seats"
Pros: "Very affordable flights, good value for money. Most of the journey from Sydney to Oslo (via Doha) went qiluite smoothly)."
Cons: "The only thing I didn’t like about the experience was the fact that you can only check in one piece of luggage on economy class, and one very sour individual at the gate when boarding."
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: "The customer service, the seats were comfortable and the food was great"
Pros: "It was ontime"
Cons: "Plane dirty toilets disgusting, much to warm in cabin, very tight seats and Turkish doesn’t enforce their carryon luggage regulations do boarding takes ages"

Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "WHEN i ARRIVED AT AIRPORT ON JUNE 3,2019 TRUKISH STAFF TOLD ME YOUR FLIGHT IS NOT CONFIRMED BUT MY FLIGHT WAS CONFIRMED.I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I AM DISABLED AND LOW VISION.I THINK THIS IS TOATLY WRONG.20 MAY I WAS SICK TRUKISH AIRLINES CANCELED MY FLIGHT BECAUST I WAS SICK."
Pros: "Staff is the best, very accommodating."
Cons: "It was an old plane so not much comfort in business class"
Pros: "Great crew, confortable seats, free complimentary internet service"
Cons: "Even though the same plane was used, the Cuban authorities asked passengers bound to Caracas to deboard the plane, pass to transit, to have us waiting an hour to re board. Boarding was a complete chaos. We were not handed headsets, so could not listen to inflight entertainment. Food was not good"
Pros: "Amazing crew, confortable seats, great complimentary internet service"
Cons: "Food was not up to standards, the inflight entertainment does not offer enough film or TV shows, enough variety or latest films"
Pros: "Full seasons of resurrection ertugrul would be appreciated. The flight really wouldn’t have felt so long"
Pros: "Dining, crew service, cost of international business class lie flat seat less than half of what the others would have cost. In spite of the weaknesses, would fly again."
Cons: "Chaotic boarding scene at Istanbul-Ataturk airport. Comfort of the lie flat seat on the 777 less than optimal: thin sleeping pad. Lounge at IST crowded, dirty."
Pros: "The food and the entertainment"
Cons: "Boarding was late and they change the number of the gate without telling the passengers. The seats were uncomfortable."

Pros: "Nothing"

Pros: "Big plane, friendly staff, good food."
Cons: "Sometime, it gets a bit too cold."
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"
Cons: "Trip delay"
Pros: "Entertainment options good"
Cons: "The boarding and deplane process could be better for business class. Also the seats only have two settings upright and sleep. Several airlines have intermediate setting for meal/movie. To be 5 Star they need to keep up. The lounge (although large) could use better organizing. Too many people walking all around. Very limited space, if any, for a little quiet."
Pros: "Boarding was fast and efficient, entertainment options are good and crew is quite responsive"
Cons: "Pitch of the seat is bad for tall passengers at only 31" and on older aircraft the touchscreen is atrocious."
Pros: "nothing"

Cons: "The seat at the back of the plane does not go down"
Pros: "The staff were very welcoming and the seats were very comfortable"
Cons: "Flight was a little delayed"
Cons: "The food - I always have a v-meal - is sadly inadequate. Not enough of it, and very unimaginative. And they always supply the same thing, unless I was just unlucky to have the same thing three times in a row. Boarding was chaotic - a full flight crammed into a departure lounge with far too few seats. There were many families trying to board and the staff could barely cope."
Cons: "Totally desorganized boarding, wrong door on ticket, no priority line....just not the way you expect things done by Turkish Airlines"
Pros: "Comfortable, on time and as always good service from Turkish Airlines"
Cons: "They cancelled my returning flight WITHOUT me knowing and expecting me to pay for the penalty fee for misisng the first flight even tho I DID not cancel the returning flight which obviously I was gonna take. The staff was RUDE and INSENSITIVE. Qatar was better in overall customer service. Worst customer service from Turkish airline."
Pros: "E"
Cons: "The food was a far miss to my other flight from BBK to Istanbul . I know it was a different flight also being a bit tired after other flight did not help . Otherwise the were excellent ."
Cons: "My entertainment set didn't work"
Cons: "I missed my connecting flight in Turkey as flight was delayed. It was my worst flight experience because nobody wanted to help me. It took an hour of being ignored by various TA staff to eventually get my boarding pass to the next available flight to London. I nearly missed that one as well because of it. The staff in Turkey was rude and unhelpful and most didn’t understand English properly. There were a number of others having the same issues, it was an awful experience."
Pros: "Another excellent business class service from the team at Turkish Airlines. The food offering was high quality, and the little cultural influences made it an enjoyable experience."
Cons: "The cabin design is perhaps looking a little dated and tired compared to some of its business class competitors. This was also true of comparing the 3 flights I had on a Boing 777 model versus one of the short haul legs on a more modern Airbus."
Cons: "I could not use my ticket I was trying to extension date but customer services terrible"
Pros: "Flight was on time, relatively clean and the food was quite nice"
Cons: "For a flight leaving at almost 1 am, it's quite annoying to be force fed dinner and prevented to sleep for the first two hours of the flight. Dim the lights and do "on demand" dinner please."
Pros: "Entertaiment was good with choices on the latest movies and live sports channels. Boarding was fast enough and the crew are friendly."
Cons: "The seats are not able to be lowered and for a 11.5hrs flight, thats really painful. Food wasnt really tasty and portion seems smaller compare to other flights i had been on."
Pros: "The services was excellent."
Cons: "Delay around three quarter an hour."
Cons: "I didn’t like being in a middle seat"
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: "Comfortable and uneventful flight - just the way it should be!"
Pros: "Free meal and drinkd"
Cons: "Flight was delayed but we were not informed of what’s happening Too hot, air conditioning did not work"

Pros: "Great service in the airplane plus they offer some amenities like slippers, tooth paste and toothbrush, they offer you wet towels to clean and refresh yourself during he flight. Really good."
Cons: "Turkish airlines used to be airline offering good food, now you only get sendwich"
Pros: "Good comfort, staff friendly and smiling. Passport control, security and boarding were straightforward."
Cons: "No boarding pass available online in advance for flights from Nicosia (neither electronic nor printed). Only to be collected at the airport. As a result , although I had no hold luggage (only cabin bag), I had to queue at the check-in/drop-baggage desk to obtain my boarding pass! This is the old prehistoric system dating back to the last century."
Cons: "there was 2 hours of delay and the crew didnt announce anything in english"
Cons: "So hot on the plane and cramped."
Pros: "New planes. Spotlessly clean. Hard working helpful staff. Good boarding. Adequate legroom by modern standards. Food typical of economy these days. OK. But really good staff."
Cons: "Fried rice breakfast out of Rome. Mushy. But overall food out of Sydney, Rome and Shanghai, fine."
Cons: "plane parked too far from main terminal. long bus ride delays arrival time."
Pros: "The washroom maintains its cleanliness. The inflight tv/movie shows is a help especially with long flight."
Cons: "Food needs improvement. Could probably offer the same menu with improve taste. The seat is not comfortable, it is somewhat hard."
Cons: "More in flight entertainment options."
Pros: "MU had been terrible on this trip. My flight MU544 was delayed from 00:55am to 12:10pm due to weather in Shanghai as they said. This made me miss my next flight to HNL. Next day i’m flying to LA and hotel they put me in in shanhgai was terrible :("
Cons: "Could be honest about delay cause. Could put stranded passengers in better hotel rooms and not make strangers share a room. Could send bigger van so everyone and their luggages fit. (I have pics of packed van)"
Pros: "Plane was okay/good. Crew was good."
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "Plane was good (Economy class)"
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "The crew was very nice, but not very professional. Food and comfort in business class was pretty good."
Cons: "Departure - there was no gate number shown for long time, but in 15 minutes after the gate number appeared on the list, there was announcement, that gate was going to close. Arriving - it took more than an hour to get out of the plane after we landed. No announces about why and how long..."
Pros: "OK"
Cons: "Ground service staff (not individual) in PVG showed poker face to customers not only to me."
Cons: "MU ground service in PVG was fair during check in, it was not as polite as in HK."
Pros: "Seats are comfortable."
Cons: "Check in agents could have been more professional"
Cons: "The crew except one were professional, food was afool, no one at the desk in China spoke Englight. No hotel was provided after flight transit hours had increased to 10. Never travel theough Vhina Eastern"
Pros: "The airport transfer for boarding transfers. There was no assistance for those who have transfer flights in the stop over in shanghai"
Cons: "Pls provide assistance for those who have transfer flights. Like which gate they are going to transfer. I had to ask around where my gate was since it was not indicated in the ticket. I would save time if there was assistance feom the crew."
Pros: "Left on time."
Cons: "Food very unappetising. Poor movie selection"
Pros: "Food was okay, though they didn't get the variety of our vegetarian meals correct once again. Flight was timely."
Cons: "Worst thing was changing our pre-reserved seats saying it was an improvement, then sticking me from an aisle to a middle seat. It's one thing to do it, but it's egregious to lie about it. Crew was cold and not so friendly. They were a little rude as well, but some passengers were also rude. They were efficient, however. Earphones didn't work properly. Movie selection was just okay. Layover too long without a supplied hotel (16 hours)."
Pros: "Temperature on the plane was finally right. Food service was quick."
Cons: "Food options not as good as flight over from the states."
Pros: "Loads of space. Super crew,"
Cons: "Nothing. It was perfect."
Pros: "Food and worker take care very good"
Pros: "I didn’t expect to get the food that we did."
Cons: "This flight was over 4 hours and there was only one entertainment option. There were 2 screaming babies the entire flight but that’s just poor circumstances. It was way too warm on the flight."
Pros: "Punctual"
Cons: "I was surprised for an overnight flight, no pillows provided, no toothpaste available, need to take hus from plane to terminal"
Pros: "By phone I could easily and quickly change my flight but online it wasn’t possible immediately as they have to ask for a quotation first."
Cons: "All Cheapticket email where in traditional Chinese characters, even if the ticket was bought through and English interface."
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"
Pros: "clean cabin, nice service, smooth connection"
Cons: "some of the crew didn't understand English very well, not much movie choice on board"
Pros: "Punctual. Seat space better than most airline"
Cons: "Food is meh"
Pros: "The price and availability was a plus. Food and drinks was too. No personal entertainment....short flight anyways. If leaving or arriving from HKG, you will be taking the shuttle on the Tarmack, so you maybe out in the weather for a few. Clean and friendly. Would fly again."
Cons: "They rescheduled my return flight a few hours earlier, but offered no compensation....also it was about 30 minutes late. So what was the point in making the flight earlier?"
Pros: "Love the A321 aircraft"
Cons: "Food and no IFE on board for a 4 hour flight"
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Pros: "Compared to my most recent experience with Air China this crew, food and comfort were far superior. Admittedly that's a very low hurdle but this crew was quite good. Considering experience with three different flights the previously arranged wi-fi worked on none."
Cons: "Unfortunately terminal personnel for mainland Chinese airlines have so far been horrible across the entire spectrum. Customer service never enters their minds. My reserved business class seat was given away because I did not check in at the gate in Shanghai before others. I don't know how that would be possible to accomplish when I checked in for the flight (same ticket) around 11 hours earlier in Kota Kinabalu. My connecting flight from Kota Kinabalu arrived over 3 hours prior to this flight departing and my checked bag did not make it onto this aircraft. When asked just about any question the answer was "we don't know" even when the answer is readily available. E.g. when asked whether the aircraft at the gate was that which we would be taking--same answer. I would hope it's not universal with these airlines but so far it's 2 for 2 considering my flights with Air China and China Eastern--they just don't seem to care about their customers. I've flown multiple times with EVA (Taiwan based) and never experienced such conduct."
Cons: "They did not inform me of a close to three hour delay."
Cons: "transfer process in Shanghai choatic. Need to wait for staff to take me to transfer area. Airport staff in Shanghai rude."
Pros: "the crew were fantastic thank you"
Pros: "Personal, comfortable, easy"
Cons: "The breakfast pack was ok but the scroll thingy was dry and not very nice!"
Pros: "The staff was excellent and nice . Looking after everybody same"
Pros: "same as before Staff excellent and nice with everybody"
Cons: "the foods"
Pros: "Everything was perfect! No complaints."
Cons: "No complaints!"
Pros: "good selection of movies"
Cons: "food"
Pros: "Good selection of movies"
Cons: "The food were not fresh and ill prepared"
Cons: "The seats were very old. The fabric was hangin off of them."
Pros: "Terrific price! Fast flight getting home from Shanghai. 7.5 hours. Seats are always comfortable with good recline. The A330 planes configuration works best for me."
Cons: "Not having my luggage connect for flight leaving the next day. Originated in Thailand with layover of 16 hours. Pick-up bags and recheck them the next day. Would be fantastic to have them held for the connecting flight."
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: "The staff Food and drinks Smooth flight"
Cons: "Checking in"
Pros: "Good flight!"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Staff very friendly"
Cons: "Choice of food. Very limited for business class. Movie selection very limited also."
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: "Food was good, bathrooms well kept, cabin was comfortable"
Cons: "Slight delay"
Pros: "In flight entertainment system was good and had a nice selection."
Cons: "Almost could not board my flight back home from Korea as China Eastern changed the departure time of my connection in Beijing by 20 min. After dealing with customer service for over an hour they let me board the flight I already paid for! Middle isle, middle seat at the back of the plane for 14 hours. 1st meal had a very fishy smell so many on the plane didn’t eat it. Someone was smoking in the bathroom too which added a nice smell to the cabin. 2nd meal was a bit better. My seat was pretty tight. (I am 6’2” 230 lbs) Every time I take China Eastern I think to myself never again, but every now and again I have no option. Customer service is almost non-existent if anything goes wrong. They are the only airline that I have issues with almost every booking."
