Our flight was canceled, then they moved us to a different flight number yet we didn’t receive notifications timely. We had to find out the latest on our own / later AA sent a text with the updated info..
They didn't tell me they changed my flight. So I got confused on what happened to my flight.
Great flight experience although the food served was not up to the usual SQ standards with the main being too saucy.
There were no vegetarian options on flight from India. Then on the next flight there was no chosen entree available. Movie selection was mediocre
It was fine but my trip from Narita Japan to L.A kind of mediocre because did not get the assigned window seat.
It was good overall. What I liked most was the restrooms. Compared to other airlines, the restrooms seem larger and look clean. The seats also look clean. The attendants are nice, except one time during the flight. I was sitting on aisle and a man sitting window. He asked an attendant for a snack. She told him to go ahead and get some snack from the section with food storage (I am not sure how it is called). So, I had to get up to let him get out from his seat. Why she did not bring him some snacks so that I would not have to move, I do not know... I was kind of surprised how inconsiderate the attendant was.
JOKE of a company with the most Ridiculous policies. JAL is amazing, KAYAK/UNDERPRICER is the worst company I have ever dealt with, NEVER AGAIN
Very helpful,I was trapped in a window seat with geriatric people, other stewards brought me stuff since I couldn't move for myself on a 12 hour flight
My ONLY complaint with Japan Airlines is their in-floght movie options. The choices were very limited and skewed towards lesser movies that are pretty much unknown. On a 13 hour flight I'm dependent on there being a solid list of decent films to pick from. The poor choices made the flight seem twice as long. Next time I'll bring a fully loaded iPad for my movies.
Very courteous and professional flight attendants. At least from Delhi to Tokyo leg where a good number of passengers are of Indian origin should have some items of Indian cuisine on the menu other than that great experience.
It was so disappointed trip by unexpected company's fault delay. It had taken 3 hours delay for mechanical maintenance plus another 3 hours for bad weather.
SEA HND sector internet only worked for the last 2.5hrs of flight….. never had this kind of incident with other airlines
12 of the 14 hours were in the dark, all during daylight. Didn’t use my light because it disturbed other people it was illuminating. 14 hours sitting upright in a cramped space was horrible.
I’ve always had pleasant experiences with ANA and that has made me a loyal customer.
UA discouraged people to choose seat on economy class by charging about three times of another airlines. For example, ANA will charge USD60 to choose an aisle seat but UA is charging USD 219.
Roomy airlines. Friendly staff. Timely service. Temp was warm during the flight.
On time. Convenience of a small airport. Excellent service from staff at check-in.
LAX to San Francisco under UA was sooooo stressful! Flights was delayed and no assistance from the airline to the next flight. Flew UA twice and both flights highly distressful.
I thought I bought the ticket directly through Kayak not a 3rd party
Japan and China airlines were incredible. On board service was impeccable. All the flight attendants were helpful, friendly, and always smiling. Airplanes were very clean. The boarding crew was extremely accommodating and very nice as well. Overall I was extremely impressed.
Weren’t even given earphones to use the entertainment system
Very friendly and attentive flight attendants, good food service. Seat was comfortable. However, the in flight electronics were poor. The screen froze repeatedly; the controller died; the headphones are a hit or miss; the wifi wasn't usable. Very scarce communication before the flight (no email reminder). Almost impossible to understand in-flight communications (audio was very poor).
The meals were not the greatest and lacking of appetite but everything else was spot on
Overall, excellent: check-in, boarding, service, and food. The Business Class seating is a little less private and spacious than the world's premier airlines, but still very good for a long haul flight.
On time. Friendly and helpful flight attendants. The plane was clean. Having a wine available would have been nice.
Your staff was exceptional. Could teach the other airlines-rules on etiquette, and service. Excellent landings on flights, carried out by your pilots. Only complaint is long delay on return flight in Beijing, onto Vancouver.
I hate that you cannot check in online and when you are at the airport, there aren't any aisle seats left. Also, they could work a little on subtitles for their movies (not everyone is a native English speaker).
Nothing to complain of, the only reason I am not giving better marks is that I am used to flying with ANA and they are the top.
Communication between the captain/crew and the passengers needs to be improved.
Chinese flight attendants didn't speak english well. They didn't care enough to remember that I (east asian who isn't Chinese) wasn't Chinese and spoke English. Announcement in english on board was poor and I find it very difficult to understand what was announced. Also, a cabin bag allows only 5kg!
The only two things to like were the price and the actual flight crew. Other than that, there is nothing positive to report above making it to my destination safely, yet later than scheduled or reported by the system. The Spring website doesn't work. I was repeatedly advised to check in online. That's impossible. None of the web functions work. I couldn't check in, pick a seat, purchase checked baggage. The phone numbers don't work. I tried every number I could find and was never able to even connect. I tried calling from my US phone and from my wife's Chinese phone. So I knew I would have to pay whatever they said for my baggage. On arrival to the airport, (HRB international terminal is a mess and also poorly run), the staff charged over $150 usd for my luggage. The luggage requirements on the web site are confusing and not close at all to industry standards. They blur the line between "Spring Air" and "Spring Japan". Kayak lists it as Spring Japan, the web site only delineates between Spring Air Domestic, Spring Air International, and Spring Japan, but doesn't make clear whether an international flight to Japan would be on Spring Japan. After checking the 1 suitcase, which took a long time for the attendant to even figure out how to do, I was told later that my carry on was too much and then there was a communication problem and I finally told them (interpreted through my Chinese wife) that I didn't mind paying for 2 bags, but I had to rearrange because I had batteries in the carry on which arent allowed to be checked. That requires the attendant to refund my first payment and te-cjexk both suitcases. She so forgot to give me the bag ticket and came to find me later. I was then motioned to go upstairs to the security screening without my wife accompanying to help translate. Then while about to be frisked, the attendant came to ask me to look inside one of the suitcases. So I went back to the check in a 3rd time to literally show them a flashlight in my suitcase. After all that, I made the tedious path through screening, & immigration. The gate wasarked for my flight. But when boarding time passes, nothing happened. None of the announcements were in English. At some point, they announced something and half the people near that gate got in line, but it wasn't moving. Some people were eventually going up and asking. I did and it turns out there was another flight to Korea link g up at the same gate, unmarked by the board. So I had to guess when that line was finished and my tokyo ight boarding finally started. My flight was scheduled to depart at 10:35am. The line for the boarding didnt even occur until 10:49am. But the Kayak app was reporting the flight as only 10 minutes late. We probably took off at 11:30am or so. I don't believe the plane wasn't ready. They were just having difficulty organizing the crowds into the trams that transport the passengers to the tarmac. The flight was mainly done because it seemed to only be about half booked. So there were many empty seats which helped. But then I find out that the flight crew will only accept Chinese or Japanese CASH for food, beverages, and snacks...even WATER. If I had known prior, my wife had Yuan cash but it is never used in China so I didn't have any. This airline is horrible and I should have paid for a better flight but it was the only one that got my plans very well. My wife later told me that it was well known to be a poorly run airline, but she didn't realize that's who I booked. I didn't interact with the crew much, so nothing to complain about there. The check in staff were nice, but somewhat incompetent. Never again.
