Nothing special. The crew never went out of their way for anything.

Nothing special. The crew never went out of their way for anything.

Three seats in first class were broken and while they were able to still acommodate us it was looking very touch and go and they had others they could not acommodate

The way BCN airport handled boarding was a huge improvement over our trip to Spain from JFK. Instead of gate-mosquitos edging in before their zone was called, in BCN they had clearly marked lines for Zones 1-8 and people just lined up correctly. The flight itself was uneventful. The meal (curried chicken and rice) was one of the better meals we've had on Delta. Entertainment options were plentiful, power chargers were available in Main Cabin, and seats were decent. Flight staff were very friendly and positive throughout the 8 hour flight.

There are 4 flights in consecutive gates with about the same departure time. Two flights were boarding at the same time. One was delayed or boarding would be happening at the same time. I am not sure what Delta and LAX need to do to have a better layout at the end of Terminal 2

Boarding was organised and relaxed. Crew were fantastic! Seats were lacking padding causing butt pain and stiffness.

Excellent flight, the planes were newer, they did a nice job with boarding, great service overall.

5 hours of delay that could've been much shorter if Delta had taken the 1 hour delay they imposed on the flight before boarding to run any of the plane checks required for flight to find the hydraulic issue that required nearly 3 hours to fix. $24 of meal credit buys a sandwich and a soft drink. Poor communication within the terminal about what gate we'd be re-boarding from and when we'd be re-boarding.

Delta is better for short flights and very low need for customer service. Avoid for longer flights

Delta changed our flight a few months prior to our trip and we couldn’t get as good of seats on the new flight. Because of that we couldn’t sit together which was very disappointing. On the flight after a few hrs the bathrooms were filthy. The seats were comfortable - we were in comfort plus. The food was not good. The dinner was average but the morning snack was uneatable with horrible coffee. We have always preferred Delta comfort plus for our overseas travel and usually the food is decent, but not this trip.

Simply outstanding. Their new lounge for Delta One customers is a cut above the rest.

Outgoing flight was cancelled due to labor issue but the airline found be another flight just a few hours later than the initial one.

There labor disputes cancelled my flight less than 24 hours before my boarding time but there customer service/website was easy enough to navigate and they rebooked me for no upcharge.

Staff was not frankly. I asked about what beverages you have and air hostess told me like before so very rude answer.

There were a lot of empty seats so we were able to spread out and be more comfortable. The food was decent enough. The crew, however, there was one flight attendant who put a hand on my grandson as he was walking to the bathroom and told him to stop. He’s 13 years old and didn’t need an escort so I don’t understand the necessity of putting a hand on his chest and saying “stop”. My grandson was confused and embarrassed with no explanation.

The 787 Dreamliner that we flew on was relatively new and a nice aircraft. We flew on a 777 which was noticeably older and the seats were average” but the 787 was very nice, especially for the price. No window blinds anymore, instead high tech adjustable polychromatic glass!! Nice.

Really good, super comfy flight and the stewardess was great.

Very clean plane, staff were courteous, complimentary wifi and beverages are nice, and it was nice to have a whole row to myself! I do miss having seatback entertainment, though. And the prices are getting ridiculous, especially with the different teared tickets. But the flight overall was great.

I think overall both Air Canada and Air New Zealand did a good job the their flights. It is nice to have movies, music, podcasts etc to watch for the long flights. Just wish the seats were wider and had a foot rest to change my leg positions during the trips.

Everything was OK, except one moment. After online check-in, Air Canada have sent me two same boarding passes. I asked to resend, but it comes the same again.

an absolute disaster and nightmare on air condition. IT WAS FREEZING!! everyone around us had hats, hoodies, gloves outdoor jackets on. that segment of the aircraft had a fault I assume...no amount of suggestion to turn down the air con helped. otherwise all good.

Left on time, arrived on time, despite weather, excellent service and food

temperature was too cold there should be free blankets, seat are very uncomfortable, entertainment is limited.

Good Poor. service onboard No food. Low quality for economy plus

Easy and organized getting in and out of the flight

It was hidden that I needed a special fee to bring my guitar on. They charged me an extra 69 euros at the gate and did not refund me the checked bag I paid for and the over head bag I paid for which I didn't use because I had to pay for the special guitar case. Criminal behavior. They were very unkind about it as well. Terrible experience. I'd like my money back for the extras I paid for.

Basic service for a decent price, all amenities are à la cart

This was a short flight. We sat in business class so we we were served a warm meal, which was nice. The flight attendants were very attentive, professional, and kind.

The flight was great; I don't see any area of improvement.

The plane needs upgrading, the seats are uncomfortable, we are a family of three and they split us and did nothing to group us together, and the food is horrible compared to other airlines bu

Horrible almost missed my flight because my 1st flight was delayed. Airline crew is so unprofessional. The people on the plane do whatever they want kids running screaming. Will never fly this airline again Suitcases never arrived
