SharonFlew with Air New Zealand-Mar 2024
I had 12 hours before my flight at 7 PM so I called Air New Zealand to ask when the earliest was I could check in for the flight and they told me three hours. However, that turned out not to be true for business class customers. you could check in as soon as they open and take advantage of their lounge. Not knowing this, I stored my luggage at a facility which was right near the air New Zealand check in. I was also told by Air New Zealand that there was no luggage storage available at the airport, but there is. This is nothing against Air New Zealand, but I just want to let you know of the options, which I wasn’t aware of until I got to the airport.

The flight was delayed and it was delayed on my trip from Seattle to San Francisco also, my luggage didn’t get to me 5 days later after my arrival.

This is not what I paid 6000 dollars for this seems like a joke. The lounge was pitiful with one shower for 100s of women. The food was scarce at best. There was curry, pasta and beef. What if someone was on a diet and allergic to stuff in the curry? I couldn’t eat anything there. I really would like a refund even a partial refund.

Poor food options for vegi folks n not enough food quantity. Fiji really needs to improve on it. Flight crew is very warm and respectful but don’t know how to cater towards vegi folks n items despite so many Indians staying in Fiji

I thought Fiji and Fiji Airways was great. Looking forward to the next trip. Baggage claim at the end went to sh...t

Left on time , arrived on time. Staff was awesome!!!!! Great flight!!!!

Great food, wonderful staff made a long flight seem short

Food choices perhaps not the best. Only offered beer and wine, when it appeared other liquor was available. Entertainment wasn’t so good.

Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.

The A350 aircraft business class experience was very good. Comfortable and well appointed pod, and supplemental bed pad available for sleeping. Food was very good.

Excellent service all staff where very friendly patient and efficient solved a boarding problem for me due to me not being able to access the visa portal for the USA.

Premium economy seats and food we're very nice although the price could be more affordable so we can do it more often.

mechanical issue, so delayed take-off (hence the low boarding rating) and made a number of people miss their connecting flight. Also took a long time to get our checked baggage. I luckily made mine with 5 minutes to spare, but it was nerve-racking.

A better selection of entertainment would have been nice. I found nothing that appealed to me as a middle-aged traveler. The flight attendants were gracious, helpful, and attentive. It also would have been nice to have more bathrooms as the flight was full and the plane was big.

The Premium Economy seats were very comfortable and the food was quite tasty. I did not use the entertainment system, but I was able to charge my phone and tablet with the seatback connection.

Air New Zealand over sold our flight and tried to bump us to yesterday. After several calls we got booked to United about 6 hrs before our original flight. No apologies!

Please add more Bollywood movies and recent movies to the entertainment.

Flight was delayed by 2 hours. Got lucky that i had a long connection, else would have certainly missed my connecting flight. Food is just okay, specially the breakfast is worse . Asked for water 30 mins before landing, the response is that we are landing so everything is packed . I guess traveling in economy that’s what we get. Probably business class passengers would get a different answer. Only good thing is that wifi service is available from auckland to lax for most part Next time will try united or American and then compare.

Great except paying $240 usd for 2 pounds over on a checked luggage. Outrageous.

Service was excellent and they’re very helpful and nice

Not a comfortable trip, the seats are not good, and they look old.

good in general food is just snack and beverages (same snacks all the time) could you try to change them?

We experienced delays in small increments that added up to more than an hour. At the gate, staff showed little concern and compared our delay with the inbound flight’s two-hour tarmac wait, which didn’t address our situation. Once onboard, the flight attendants seemed tired and unfriendly. I understand delays are frustrating for everyone, but passengers shouldn’t feel blamed for them. During the flight, a bright light above the emergency exit stayed on. It was concerning, and no one explained it or offered passengers the option to move. After landing, we waited about 30 minutes on the tarmac for a gate, then waited again for an agent to connect the plane to the terminal. From the Reagan gate staff to the cabin crew and RDU personnel, the service felt dismissive throughout. Overall, this was a stressful trip and a very disappointing customer-service experience

My flight from Atlanta to Oklahoma City was delayed multiple times. I ended up arriving in Oklahoma City nearly two hours later at around 1:50 am the following morning. This was a highly disappointing experience.

My Delta flight 2423 from Atlanta to Oklahoma City got delayed multiple times. It was originally scheduled to depart at 10:41 pm EST with a 11:58 pm CST arrival in Oklahoma City. However, after multiple delays, the flight finally departed Atlanta at around 12:40 am and arrived in Oklahoma City at around 1:50 am. What was even more disappointing was that none of the crew members acknowledged, let alone apologize, for the delays. These delays were not due to weather and were only due to operational/mechanical issues on the part of Delta. As a former Platinum SkyMiles member, I valued loyalty with Delta. However, after having similar experiences in the recent past, I'll be switching my loyalty over to American Airlines going forward. This was a highly disappointing experience.

Love Delta. I'll take connections to stay on Delta even if another airline has a direct flight.

The main issue was the quantity of the drink. The hostess gave only half cup full of the soft drink. I was thirsty and was expecting full glass like every other time.

Delta always provides stellar service. I am always impressed and will try my best to travel via Delta if I can afford it.

Amazing, delta One is extraordinary. Worth the money. They took our bags at the door when our driver dropped Us off at Heathrow.. the Virgin CLUBHOUSE lounge was wonderful and the flight was great. Service food our little pod all near perfect.

This flight was the flight we missed due to deltas delay at our first airport going TO Atlanta.

In-flight: great! Efficient & comfortable, no complaints. On the ground: quite the opposite. The flight was delayed with no real explanation. If you can fly direct with Delta that's your best bet. Connecting flights with them when one is delayed, especially if the next flight is to a small airport, really was a mess. They did correct the problem with no cost to us, but it made getting home a 24 hr journey instead of 8. Also, staff at the gate at Minneapolis was NOT kind at all.

Poor. Flight was delayed by 50 mins. Poor quality aircraft. Aged, few parts broken. Bad plane.

Overall, it was a very good experience. I would have given it a 10/10, especially based on our flight from SFO to Melbourne. The cabin crew on that flight were wonderful and incredibly attentive. They took extra care when setting up our beds so we could sleep comfortably without being disturbed. Dinner was served promptly and smoothly. I woke up quite late, when the flight was already preparing for landing, and the crew still made sure I was taken care of. They brought me English tea in a proper cup, and when it was time to prepare the cabin for landing, they thoughtfully transferred it into a takeaway cup so I could continue enjoying it along with some breakfast. Those small, thoughtful gestures made the long flight feel much more comfortable and special. The service from the SFO to Melbourne crew was truly excellent.

I want a refund. I had to switch flights and buy another airline ticket because this one was delayed.

We booked with Qantas instead of Delta and we instead flew on American Airlines. American is not our favorite to go on. No leg room and the width of seats are a joke. Your are packed like sardines on American flights.

they ran out of fruit for breakfast and so I just had a yogurt instead. other than that the flight was good

I liked the service, the menu, and the comfort of the seats! Even tho we were seated by the bathrooms, the reclining seats and movie selection was very good, my husband and I didn’t mind at all

Everything was great from the staff to the seats and food. The plane was timely taking off and landing.. I couldn't have asked for a better experience (especially on such a long flight)

Flight delay was informed at the last minute. Food quality is not up to Qantas standard I was unable to book an online boarding pass on any of my 6 flights.

My bag didn’t make it but otherwise it was a great experience.

Overall a positive experience. As long as you are not connecting-I found the discount offered by Kayak and the customer service to be very good.

The flight from DFW to SAT started out with a 2 hour delay. It was a five hour delay with no real explanation as to why. In addition, the time of arrival kept changing from 10:00 pm to 11:00pm to sometime after midnight. Driver picking me up in SAT was as confused as I was. Flight attendants were patient thank goodness since folks were a bit upset about a 2 hour delay that stretched into 5 hours.

The flight crew was amazing. Zac was very attentive and polite. Loved talking to him and the other flight attendant. My problem was that I was not able to get the meal that I ordered…Short rib with Mac and cheese. Very disappointing.

There was very little premium experience. The check in was awful with a 40 minute line and service making me feel like I was putting them out. The lounge and gate experience was scattered and not well organized. the only good thing was the seat. Food was bland and barely edible. Overall I found it wasn't premium at all rather a cheap low class experience.

Flight was good- arrived early ! But ticketing with Underpricer and Kayak was poor at best- unnessacarily difficult due to how the ticket were issued

Flight attendant, forgot her name, was in front cabin, she was great

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

awful delay, awful communication, zero updates throughout the experience of a giant delay

It was decent, there was no WiFi on the flight but the FA’s gave everyone a warning once we boarded the plane. Unfortunately it didn't give me enough time to download my entertainment content.

On Time. AA is late due to maintenance all the time.

We were upgraded to Business Class. So comfortable with great service and food options
