Fast and efficient boarding, pleasant flight with plenty of leg room in economy delight. Food was good and the afternoon tea was a nice touch. Was a little delayed in Canada due to CBSA checking all passengers at the jet bridge but otherwise great flight

Fast and efficient boarding, pleasant flight with plenty of leg room in economy delight. Food was good and the afternoon tea was a nice touch. Was a little delayed in Canada due to CBSA checking all passengers at the jet bridge but otherwise great flight

Lounge was top notch h with great variety of food and drinks. Cabin crew were great. Smooth flight.

My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Food was excellent. Service was very good. Staff was very helpful to all passengers.

Your flight delayed at Heathrow n I almost missed my mother funeral.you idiots. I had to waste 10 hours in different airports. Thank your stars I'm not suing you.

Seats were old and dirty, for a long haul flight you expect to be able to recline and for the av to work properly. Choice for vegans was fruit….

Old plane, WiFi Media Player did not work, food only one Option was left, no running water in one of the toilet to wash hands, one of our bags was forgotten or lost in the departure airport (still not received it after three days) , the other one WE only could pickup the next Day from the airport

Very good in business class but not so good in economy.

I cant wait for planes to have shorter rows with more space! otherwise, all fine thankyou

My gag was left at liayad airport when I landed at jeddah airport 9 am I waited for my bags at jeddah airport till 2.45 pm almost 6 hrs bad very bad

Ok, the flight was not full yet I had people on both sided and the chairs were tight. Only 2 kinds of snacks didn’t even have milk for the coffee.

Very old airplane with old and seat for business class

Entertainment on all 4 business class seats were terrible audio and could barley hear. The 11 hour layover in Riyadh was a nightmare and no one told us that nightmare matter what we do or what we were willing to pay there were no places to rest or sleep and nine of the lounges allow you to enter them no matter what unless you are 4 hours or less from flight time. With a 78 yearold mother with me this is ridiculous. The employees of the airline in Riyadh and of the lounge treated us like servants or lower class people. Never again

J’ai mon carte de fidélité Sky team gold À Dubaï je me sui présenté avec mon carte je sui rentré dans le louange Maintenant arrivé à Riyadh on m’a refusé que je rentre que parce que c’est la carte de Air France Et pourtant il y’a le partenariat bon brefs Tout ça c’est du racisme parce que je suis un africain

Flight was delayed, but there was no explanation why. Seats were comfortable and service was good. Food was good and there were more snacks than I expected.

There was not enough meals to serve in business class. The crew was busy and not very accommodating. They talked to each other more than attending to the passengers needs. Not professional at all and not properly supervised at all.

I have paid extra money for my special meal service but I received the the local food. Which is not acceptable.

More entertainment channels and better food, whatever food requirement you select.

The flight from NY to Bangalore was very good but the return flight from Bahrain to NY was mediocre

Pretty much what you'd expect for an economy flight. The crew were excellent as usual. The food was ok, but nothing special.

The Senior Flight attendant was just amazing on our Flight GF 284 on 30/11/25. She was so attentive, helpful and caring not just to us but to all in our cabin.

The drinks should come before food. Unable to have any fluid unless after food. Thanks

Gulfair were on top form and everything went as planned

Aereo nuovissimo e con tanti servizi malgrado la durata del volo Spazio per le gambe ridottk

The boarding at Heathrow is chaotic. That's partly due to the lack of space and seating at gate 8, and a Qatar flight from gate 9 at the same time. That's down to Heathrow rather than Gulf Air. I've had a similar experience here before. Another problem which isn't specific to Gulf Air or Heathrow is announcements, and those for boarding in particular. They are difficult to hear with all the other noise and for me with hearing problems it's even worse. A simple tv screen would help, so long as it's updated of course.

This itineray had to be cancelled as the connection time in Paris was only 55 min which is below the 90 min required by Paris airport. Nether Chat deal/Kayak, nor Gulf air nor American Air picked on that. I called American Air for unrelated question was then told that boarding would be denied due to the short connection time. This should have been an automatic notification from Chat deal/ Kayak or Gulf air and itinery cancelled. What is the point of inconveniencing the passenger?? The return has still not be refunded. Shame on Gulf Air, very poor customer service for an airline that has so good flight crew!

Very timly. Great service !!! Pick up after meals can be swifter.

Straightforward boarding process. Pilot kept us informed during the flight, especially highlighting the fact that we would experience "significant braking" when we landed on the short runway in Florence. The flight attendants were pleasant. My chief complaint is that I was stuffed into a seat in the rear of the aircraft (row 29?). The seat pitch was soooo tight that my knees were hard against the seat in front of me as soon as I sat down. One inch more room would have made a difference. Thankfully it was not a super long flight, but it was quite uncomfortable and I had to work out the kinks in my knees once I deplaned. Is it really necessary to have the rows this close together??

Would not let me board with my fragile guitar so had to check it in. Who knows what the icicles did to it. Not happy. Had to run to catch my connection in Heathrow. After a bus and a train? Was asked by a guy in the middle seat to change my window seat with his girlfriend's middle seat further up in the plane and I was insulted. What nerve! The food was unhealthy and the seat was cramped. Could not wait to exit.

need more US friendly food options. Directions on getting to the next gate were terrible - resulted in long walks to the terminal and then finding I couldn;t enter there and had long walk back, then train to security then train back to where I started in the first place

We never made this flight due to the flight from Barcelona being delayed, which I have reviewed in a separate review. But I can tell you that the Delta Airlines flight that did get us home, I am extremely happy with them and their crew. The only one person that I would praise within the entire part of BA is the girl I spoke to in the call center in India. Who completely understood, was dedicated to a resolution and was a complete realist in the situation. Unlike some of the people who don’t care about the human element and stick you on a flight whenever. She got us home.

Wonderful service and comfort. Attentive and careful. The food was also better than US carriers. Highly recommend

Very good baggage check and boarding pass service at Heathrow. Boarding was well organized, given the number of passengers. Food was very good. Cabin temperature was lower than expected and we were not prepared. Overall good experience.

better seats (very uncomfortable), access to wifi was a nightmare, and food was blah.

one meal and one breakfast or sandwich instead of two meals.

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.

The flight was never confirmed, I was not sent a ticket, and my account was charged for this flight. I’m trying to get my money back for a flight that was not booked or confirmed. Terrible experience

Flight from London was delayed and we had to hurry up to catch the connecting flight to Riyadh

It was like moving cattle around. Very abrupt, uncomfortable and not much hospitality

All good but air not give the pasing er any food even glase of water

Flight delayed by 1hr when we already boarded because someone had to get off. Leg room is terrible for 6ft people like me.

The crew was utterly non helping and non courteous.I asked for a water. The air hostess could have said it's paid . She informed me that I will come later after serving but never turned up. The seats were never comfortable.My first and last flight with Pegasus.I am not taking again

The plane left Istanbul 1 hour late and the AC was not really working great it was so hot inside and no air. This was my worst flight in a long time since I had a flight with Ryanair.

Cheap and cheerful. It’s a super cheap, no frills flight. Very professional and as it’s an A320 relatively spacious. Seats do not recline. Happy with the service. You get what you pay for. Can’t complain

I had 4 flights for less than a week and there were no delays and issues. Thanks to the crews and for perfectly organised service.

Pegasus is a clean safe and most importantly CHEAP way to travel. If you travel a lot on a budget, it can be a great option
