Very poor experience and will never travel with JAL again. With Business class ticket i was told that there is no veg option for the 1st leg of my journey from Delhi to Tokyo while served horrible plant based meat on the second leg of journey even though i selected Vegetarian meals. Also entertainment system is worse than domestic flight with hardly any Hollywood movies and no hindi movies at all
I always enjoy flying with Japanese Airlines. The whole experience is always a pleasure. This flight was no exception. Thank you Kayak for making it so easy to decide.
Very smooth onboarding and offboarding. Food provided was cold and not the best.
Service and the plane itself were terrific, but the extensive delays both before we left and after were a real pain.
The seats were narrower compare to other airlines traveling to Asia, which makes them uncomfortable after 6 hours The plane was worn, my tray table wasn’t level, You had to pay for WiFi and no Bluetooth option to use your own headphones. The crew was excellent in servicing the food and drinks. However I felt they needed some extra hands to serve the two sections of economy at the same time. They run out of one of the food option as they got to the rear section of the plane. Having travel on other Asian airlines during this trip; American Airlines can learn a bit from them, but I wonder if their service is geared towards a clientele that has become accustomed to not expect to much from an airline.
The crew was great, food was good. My concern is about the plane itself. It wasn't super clean, and during the landing process (after attendants had to take their seats) the air conditioning vent above my daughter's head started leaking a lot of water. It leaked for about 30 minutes, until we landed. I let the attendant know about the leak as we were getting off the plane, and she was very kind about saying she'd look into it. Given concerns about hygiene on planes, plus the fact that my daughter had to hold the blanket over her for 30 minutes to avoid getting soaked, that was not a great situation.
I am trying to select a seat during booking but it respond that set assigment will be given during check in, and the seat assignment they give is in the middle seat and 2 row from the rest rooms, i am the person who pee a lot in this case I disturb so much the person beside me ,this trip is from Haneda to Texas, the trip from Texas to Cvg is a much better because its a smaller plane few passenger
Boarding and crew service were excellent. Food was mediocre, not as good as our last trip four years ago.
My first issue is the lack of clarity with the airlines. I know that Japan airlines and American Airlines are partners, but I couldn’t figure out which airline I was flying with. I got the flight info for Japan airlines and ended up on American. After my Kayak booking (via Underpricer) I got a phone call to see if I wanted up choose a seat and pay for luggage fees. both American and Japan airlines offer 2 carryons and 2 regular luggage checked in at no additional fees to Tokyo. Having already done my research, I opted out on their “Offer” and just contacted the airline directly to pay for upgraded seats (Which were cheaper than the Underpricer deal) My top complaint was the flight delay from HND to LAX it wasn’t until I had already made my unchangable airport drop off car reservations , that I received 3 hour flight delay email. I was forced to be there 6 hours prior to the departure. They were kind enough to give us a limited restaurant food voucher- which was 1900 yen ( I saw Delta food vouchers were 2000 yen). My teen and I ate food court pizza. The flight arrived when expected, The food was mid on the flight. I slept and woke up about 1.5 hours to LAX. I had waffles ( which also contained 1 mushroom and 1 tomato in the same tray) and 3 small pieces of fruit. All went well, just remember to check on your 3rd party ticket companies. Some seem to be sneaky All in all it was a very long day, we made it back safe.
service was excellent. crew very polite, courteous, and good service especially to passengers like me who is a wheelchair passenger
My son flew and had a great experience.. thank you for taking care of my baby
One of the business class panels where we were sitting was broken and it didn’t close. Therefore, the be privacy was limited.
Choice of movies dated as with the screens. Major room for improvement on the software to sort and select choices.
The neck support for the economy seats is poorly designed. It’s hard to sleep even on inclined position.
As always, there is that one or two flight attendants that could be better.
Flight was excellent. Transfer from one airport to another airport for a connecting flight was difficult and stressful.
I loved everything about my experience!!! The staff were absolutely incredible. I can not wait to fly again with them.
ANA split my family of 4 by seating us each separately which didn't seem to make much sense. Both ways we were not seated together and the glitch int he online check in system meant we could not change our seats or get boarding passes without seeing a person at the airport counnter. The staff however offered good service in the air.
Delays, plane transfer due to malfunction, no entertainment, limited beverage service.
The food was not great and the seats you need a little bit more space to put your things down around you: the blankets and toiletry bag were good. Flight was on time and bags etc no issues
It was good. Just a very long stay over in China to get the second leg to London
Seats not comfortable. We had requested vegan meal and it wasn’t given.
Poor seats. Not helpful crew. The food was awful.overall very very bad experience. Traveled with the family of 5
The airport didn‘t give me the ticket. I called customer service to ask for a refund but they kept giving me a perfunctory response and refused to refund me.
Not good - chair back could not move back for premium economy. Not worth the price
Never got the wheelchair service when my parents arrived at LA . My mom was 74 , also my dad was 84 years old, both don’t speak English. I double checked with the front desk at Phoenix airport, making sure that they will be taking care of.
I love flying Chinese airlines in general but China Southern is probably the worst of the lot. The service is poor and food is below par.
We bought the business class tickets. The check-in staff and onboard crew were excellent, providing commendable service throughout. However, it was disappointing to find that China Southern Airlines does not have a lounge at SFO. Instead, passengers were provided with a $35 per person food voucher, which fell short of expectations. Furthermore, the quality of the onboard food left much to be desired, marking a significant decline compared to our previous flight experience in 2019, prior to the pandemic.
No good but was short flight. Both of our China Southern flights were on time. No surprises.
Quality flight from start to finish. Customer service is evidently very important to this company. The staff really exceeded expectations.
Basic long haul decent price but U pay for what you get. Over 5hrs of transit and terminal was pretty bare with nothing much to do except the lounge
While boarding at PVG, there was a ticket checking by the gate, then there was another ticket checking right at the bottom of the escalator, which created quite a dangerous congestion. Don't understand why the duplication?
good flight. food is only so so. I actually did not eat the snack. it does not look too good on the passenger next to me.
Pillow and blanket are dirty. My son got multiple bites during the flight
The crew were excellent, service amazing, blankets and pillow good, cabin temperature perfect, the flight on time, food was unusual selection however plentiful, price for tickets unbeatable through Kayak. Older aeroplanes used by China Eastern was the only down side.
Better good than most, if not all European airlines. If you’re stuck in an economy seat anyways, China Eastern is a good choice because of shorter flight time, being able to overfly Russia
Price is the main attraction. Staff is OK but difficult to communicate with them due to general lack of English. Food is truly abysmal, the main courses (4) were barely edible. The choices for breakfast served at 5:30 am prior to landing at Gatwick airport were Spaghetti Bolognese or seafood fried rice. Choices offered for all 4 mains were either something rice or noodles. Shanghai airport layover is much too long in a very poorly serviced airport. We were unable to use WiFi; private lounges required cash only payment with no ATM or cash exchange open.
I think it’s time that somebody set a standard for the temperature in the cabins. I would rather it be colder than anybody that wants to have a blanket have a blanket to keep it so warm at times is unbearable and quite uncomfortable. That’s the only thing I would add.
The landings were smooth . Being unable to check-in online was terribly stressful and the queue at Haneda exemely long. We paid extra for window seats and did not get them.
Couldn’t fly since they wouldn’t issue a boarding ticket. Something to do with not taking the departing flight since it was cancelled due to weather. No notice or anything about the trip being invalid. The app made it seem like I was all good for it. Never trusting travel agency
I can't believe you have to pay L 3.20 for a Cup of British tea on an airlines with the name British on the plane.
As seats on planes seem to get smaller over time and people’s bodies get bigger significant mismatches occur. I was seated in the middle of a four seat center row on a 9 hour 10 minute flight from Heathrow to Seattle. The woman seated next to me was such a size that she required a seat belt extension in order for her to fasten the seatbelt around her. She occupied fully 1/3 or more of both my seat and my table. Her and her stuff also occupied most of the space for my feet. Not an enjoyable way to spend on a 9 hour flight. My most miserable flying experience ever.
Pleasant staff. Entertainment system was down in many rows for a while the staff did rectify it in the end.
Everything worked well. But nothing really stood out. BA is a reliable work horse for international travel. Moderately priced, reliable but not outstanding in any aspect. I will definitely use them again. The morning flights out of India a definite blessing.
I liked BA land team for boarding, the food, entertainment should be considered to be improved
They had about 20-25 people overbooked. Including me. Why is this?? I was put on a flight to NC an hour later with a 4 hour layover. I was supposed to be home at 1045am instead i was home at 7:30pm. An extra day to pay for dog care.
Flight was delayed by 7 hours and it caused all kind of issues
Great little city hopper plane. Unfussy and roomy. Nice little snack provided too
Some of the crew weren't really nice. The seats were uncomfortable. Absolutely no entertainment system at all. The pilot was good though and completed the trip in a shorter time than expected which was great for me.
Supervisor at the check in area was very rude, unhelpful and unprofessional. Checking in was rowdy and stressful. Boarding was the same. Food on flight was horrible. Could not get drinking water onboard. Told by flight attendant that they had limited supply. Flight attendants were very disturbing throughout the overnight flight. They cared less about passengers trying to sleep and kept bumping into people as they walked along the aisles with their bodies and trolleys. Just very bad and disrespectful experience.
