Reviews of the top 5 airlines flying to Africa
The staff were fantastic and the food was tasty. My check in experience was good too.
The staff were fantastic and the food was tasty. My check in experience was good too.
The quality of food is going down comparing with old history of excellent food. It was cold and a bad quality. The crew is always excellent and caring.
The journey was nice, all the crews were very good and services are excellent
Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.
We loved flying with Emirates in business class, the staff were fabulous, going above & beyond
The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.
Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.
Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees
Fresh energetic and friendly crew, great food, brand new plane and non stop entertainment
The food was pretty good and the crew were excellent. It would have been excellent all round but for screaming children. Six hours at least of a 10 hr flight. Mostly 1 child clearly on the spectrum and probably ADHD but I really felt for the parents and grandparents who were obviously struggling and doing the best they could under the circumstances. No reflection on the airline of course and we all need to be more tolerant with these challenges . Slept for 15 hrs when I got home.
Checking in wasn't organized, too many so-called diplomats were jumping line while everyone was waiting in line. They should have their own line not to impede on other passengers that was also waiting to be served. We all paid money and there should be no discrimination because everyone's money should have the same value diplomat or not! If they want to give diplomats some special treatment then let them create their own check in desk and not treat other passengers some that are (elderly, some with children, pregnant women) making them stand longer in line than necessary just because people are jumping line 😡
The flight is packed and it feels like the space per individual has gotten smaller. Excruciating for a 14hr flight.
The hygiene was super bad. Smells bad and air refreshment is highly advisable. The crew made some one else sit in my spot and no one is checking seat number and people are jumping to sit on other people’s allocated seat.
worst was delayed luggage. could see luggage was still in Singapore but they insist I wait till all luggage are unloaded before filing a report. took 2 days to arrive and I had to collect it myself from the airport
My experience was great. The flight attendants were very helpful and nice, and the food was very good.
Food was really not appealing. There was a blocked sink in the toilet. Toilet is cramped and the wall between the 2 toilets are not secured properly.
The food needs to improve especially the fish as there where only 3 fish cubes in my plate.
Am Wowed I did not ever thought African has such an amazing airline before.
The crew were extremely unfriendly. The plane was dirty and the entertainment system did not work, so they did not even give out earphones to anyone.
The food really sucks And they really need to work on entertainment The movie selection is herendous .
Many issues arose with the plane and after 3 hours of delays, we had to return to the London airport as the plane was unfit to cross the ocean. It was highly concerning that this aircraft was in operation with so many problems.
I was upgraded to Busines Class from premium economy which was a great surprise. But......the service was not marginally better than premium economy. After the welcome on-board drink, I only saw a flight attendant twice...... when she delivered gluten free meals. In between, during a 8 hour flight, she didn't check back with me to offer water or collect trash. I had to fetch my own! The gluten free food was not good - they gave me the same meal whether I was in premium economy or business class.
You're asking 2 different questions. The flight from Los Angeles to London (and from London to Faro) was on British Airways. Those flights were awful. The app didn't provide detailed information, the WiFi that I paid for didn't work, the form I had to fill out to re-enter the UK was not communicated clearly so I nearly missed my flight. British Airways is significantly behind every other airline I've traveled in every way. American Airlines flight form London to Los Angeles was great. In the future, I will avoid flying British Airways when I can.
Premium economy was not what was shown, no leg riser, seats were broken and do not recline more than economy, food, we couldn't eat it was so bad, no menu 1 item and it sucked.
Our original flight was cancelled. This was a slightly earlier flight. We were business class and it was very good. The staff were marvellous and very helpful. Pity our baggage didn't make it!
British Airways is very good... Taxiing after landing took 35 minutes, can't really blame the airline but the terrible infrastructure at JFK.
Our section of the aircraft in premium economy was very cold. We asked the attendants twice to raise the heat but it never happened. Even with the blanket it was chilly for 10 1/2 hours
Really slow transfer after getting off the plane at Manchester, and lost luggage! Take the train, terrible experience on arrival
Because kayak scammed me with false advertisement saying 23kg was included but I ended up having to pay another £200
The flight was canceled and I was directed to Air France two days later than my plan departure day. This involve getting two more days of hotel and also not being able to get a boarding pass until I got to the Istanbul Air France boarding desk. It has been a troubling time.
The experience exceeded my expectations and reflected the significant progress.
My flight was great. Service by the crew was great. Only issue I had wss it got extremely warm mid way thru the flight. To the point it was a little uncomfortable
To be honest, there has been a significant improvement in the level of EgyptAir in terms of service and food quality.
I lost my bad at Cairo’s airpor… it wasn’t shipped with me on the plane
Has upgraded from inside from leather sets to new version of touch screens ,,thank u
The plane was falling apart. Screens didn't work. My chair didn't work. My tray didn't work. It makes me nervous about the maintenance of vital functions for flight. The food is horrible. We never eat it.
Our flight was delayed for more than three hours due to mechanical issues. Please compensate.
Nice flight, friendly crew, and a decent in-flight meal.
The seats were broken, crew didn’t really care about service, boarding was not priority for business class, my bags arrived last
Egypt air needs to improve its crew; they're not polite.
Left my baggage behind on my arrival had to wait 3 days to claim my luggage
Taking the bus from the terminal to the plane isn't an easy experience, especially when traveling with an elderly person and have to carry the carry-on bags up the plane stairs.
Easy flight, on time, easy check in but long lines.
The Airline canceled my flight and don’t want to refund me.
I would like to praise one of the stewards, Mohamed, who was swift and efficient to help me as I was not feeling well at some point during the flight.
Due to the operational delay with Southwest, I missed my connecting flight in New York. Southwest rebooked me with Turkish. Southwest paid for my accommodation in NY, but did not provide food at the hotel. I ended up spending 34 dollars on my dinner. Moreover, in Istanbul, where I transited, I had more than 10 hours of layover without access to the Turkish Lounge. I spent 117 USD to have access to the Yotel cabin for only 4 hours of rest and recuperation from jet lag. This was the most painful trip I have ever had in my life.
When the flight landed, it was still going towards the gate, when everybody got up. Nobody cared that the flight was still in "active taxi" mode. But seems like this is common on Air Maroc flights.
There were a lot of hidden fees I paid extra for my luggage at JFK which was my leaving point and I also had to pay another extra at the Casablanca’s airport for my carry on and my backpack which is insane, when i refused to pay they threatened to call airport’s security on me. And they actually lost my luggage once I got to my destination. I seriously will not fly with this company anymore from now on and I advise you to do the same
Comfort and organisational prowess of the entire crew. Baggage handling can be better. No had all my luggages after 6days of the flight.
I lost my connection flight from Casablanca to Marrakech because we arrived late to Casablanca. I had to rent a car to continue my trip . I need refunds
