Airline reviews
Pros: "We had to come home 2 weeks early due to the virus, and Singapore airlines were brilliant at changing the flights. Even got upgraded to the extra leg room for free"
Cons: "The extra leg room seats were naff, I like getting comfy in a chair and these ones were not. The screen was too far away and the arm rests didn’t move. Also, due to my partner having to swap seats, I was sat on my own next to strangers. They slept the whole way, so the crew never disturbed them meaning I missed out on food and drinks, even when asked"

Pros: "The service was outstanding! All of the flight attendants were amazing!"
Pros: "Smooth boarding"
Cons: "If they could serve a light snack would be good"
Pros: "Crews sympathy’s"
Cons: "Disembarking On economy plus we had to wait for all business passengers to leave and there were that needed wheelchair hence took a long time"
Pros: "Flexible seating due to only very few passengers. On time departure and arrival"
Pros: "Fast boarding. Early arrival. Comfortable seat."
Cons: "I had to ask 3 times for an arrival card from the crew. Bread was dry. There should have been a breakfast served prior to landing, but no food service after 1 a.m. though flight arrived at 7:40 a.m. Timing of meals was not convenient for me at all. They wake you up at 1 a.m. for your main dinner. I would have preferred to sleep until 5 a.m. then have a good breakfast. The amenity kit in Business Class was substandard when compared to other airlines"
Cons: "In flight food service by cabin crew was spotty, sometimes they gave you coffee with dinner , sometime not, they are very forgetful. Please improve on this issue."
Pros: "Nothing special."
Cons: "Meal was disappointing. Beef was overcook and hard. Service quality is just okay."
Pros: "Yes and yes"
Cons: "Not sure because I have never had a better experience."
Pros: "The food selection, there is several pre-order meal based on diet or your religion"
Cons: "The seat pitch at least 33""
Pros: "Seat was comfortable. Crew was not too attentive and kept forgetting to serve me food"
Cons: "Crew should be attentive to ALL passengers."
Pros: "Everything and everyone are Good and Nice ."
Cons: "For a long flight ( 16 hours or more ) , if someday I can afford First Class , that’s make my life . Thanks"
Pros: "Nice crew , good and good"
Cons: "If someday ... someday....I can afford First Class . That’s will be Nice for a long flight ."
Cons: "There is only a food box which contains a small sandwich, a small cake and a small cup of fruit pieces with a drink of 250ml ice tea for this three hour flight. I would think this kind of catering is not good enough."
Pros: "The departure and arrival times were good in order to sleep the night, and wake up in Tokyo refreshed. Cabin crew were fairly friendly, but not the Cathay of a few years ago."
Cons: "NONE of the business class center seats would recline. This meant in order to recline and get some rest, the crew had to dismantle your seat and release the locks manually. This meant the seat was in that position until time to land. So I had to make a choice to sleep or eat, horrible for CX."
Cons: "The flight attendant actually worked very hard. But I don’t think they have enough people working in the economy. I asked for a cup of coffee twice from 2 different flight attendant. Never got it"
Pros: "The crew was nice and friendly, food was ok"
Cons: "Food should request order by the crew, rather then trolly push like an old style"
Pros: "I liked the comfort of my location and seat"
Cons: "No wifi on a over 14 hour flight is ridiculous in this day and age. They didn't have wifi on both my flights. I would think twice before flying an airline so far without wifi."
Pros: "The dinner was one of the top two I've ever had on a plane and I've flown business class around the world."
Cons: "I just don't fit comfortably into the pods and for a 14 hour flight that's a pain in the neck or lower. The seatbelts must be adjustable to allow a pod user to roll on his side."
Pros: "The flight crew were helpful and attentive. Directions were clear and the boarding was organized."
Cons: "The seats! The seat was uncomfortable that I had to use my U shaped neck pillow as a seat cushion. My flight was 15+ hours but within 3 hours my behind was killing me."
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Too much noise in the cabin. Ear protection should be recommended by airline."
Pros: "They are very organized small air line . Our flight was on time"
Pros: "***Our luggage did arrive as promised. ***Our flight from Tortola was cancelled, almost ensuring we would miss our connecting flight from St Martin. Thankfully some employees at the airport (Don't know to what airline they belonged, I don't recall seeing a single WinAir employee the entire time) hired a charter TurboProp for all of us (about 15 people). I think the kudos go to the airport rather than WinAir."
Cons: "*** If you are travelling to the BVI's and travel on WinAir, be aware that if your checked luggage weighs the limit that it will most likely come the next day. This happened to my girlfriend and I on separate occasions. While we did both receive our luggage the next day, there was no communication from WinAir. I had to call them repeatedly and stress the urgency with getting the baggage (I was on a chartered boat. I didn't want to hold the boat up for my bag). My theory is that the luggage gets sent on a boat from St Martin to Tortola as heavy bags can't be brought onto the island hopper airplanes they use to shuttle between the islands. *** After waiting at the Tortola Airport in the departures area for about an hour (about 10 minutes before our plane was to take off) I hadn't seen a single WinAir employee. I finally asked an employee of another airline if they could tell us what was going on. About 15 minutes later someone (Airport rep??) came out and told us our flight was cancelled and that they had booked us a charter turboprop to ensure we get there on time. After about 3 minutes we were ushered out to a plane that was loaded with our luggage and ready to go."
Pros: "I love flying Winair between SXM and EUX. The flights are short, safe, and provide a beautiful view of the beautiful islands."
Pros: "There is a magnificent view of the island on the way in. Make sure you have a camera ready!"
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 hrs. They don't offer connecting the bags with other airlines. I wish it could be a better option"
Cons: "Terrible flight, over an hour late and no one knew how late was the flight...will never fly again with this company, will use Air St Barth..."
Cons: "Flight was delayed up to 45 minutes due to lack of grounds staff to load luggage on plane"
Pros: "Quick, smooth flight (a bit of turbulence). Great pilots and counter personnel were friendly"
Cons: "Left late, no update to passengers to say it was delayed."
Pros: "After booking through kayak, they lost my reservation and I was put on standby. I was treated very rudely at check in and I almost missed the flight."

Delay flight more than 8hours waiting and poor customer service!

Plane was extremely small so mind the size of your carry on

Pros: "Nothing!!! Horrible airline with horrible staff members."
Cons: "Everything. The staff and crew of Intercaribbean airlines are very unprofessional and not helpful at all. On top of the flight delays all the luggage for that particular flight was left in Kingston. Everybody was rather nonchalant and unapologetic about the situation. I was told I would get the the following day. The next day only two of my three bags showed up. I was not compensated for the inconvenience and was told point blank that they will only deliver one of my bags to my address even though they were the reason I had NONE of my luggage in the first place. They are disgusting!!! I would never recommend this airline to anyone."
Pros: "Nice people"
Cons: "A long walk to the D3 gate, but there were no amenities there I.e. snacks (to be fair a new terminal is under construction)"
Cons: "There was no air. I understand when you are on the ground it can be limited but even after getting to altitude there was no air conditioning."
Cons: "The flight was delayed for over three hours, apparently it is a regular occurence."
Pros: "almost nothing"
Cons: "The plane had a problem that forced us to turn around right after take off and as of this writing we still don’t know what’s going on or how long we are stuck here. Planes are old and apparently maintenance could be better."
Pros: "Crew was good. Got there safely!"
Cons: "Maintenance issue caused us to have to get back off the plane, causing delay. Better safe than sorry, though!"
Pros: "The crew member was memorable in a great way. Enjoyed his job and it showed."
Cons: "Arrived admittedly later than i normally would due to ferry issues but it should’ve been plenty of time to board the flight. No one was at the check in area and 20 min later when we located someone from intercaribbean we were told it was now too late but we could get a refund but later refused"

I paid an additional fee for specific seats because I was flying with my two children. I even checked in online and confirmed my seats, so at the airport did not think to double check my seats. The lady at the check in desk gave me different seats that were not together, nor did she say anything, even though she could see I was flying with children. Got to the plane and only realized what had happened then. Scoot refused to refund me that extra fee or take responsibility for what had happened.

U could offer everyone a drink ,juice or water.. coffe or tea ...ur air craft isn't a flea market ,where someone has to buy a tea or water!!

Instead of the flight attendants talking to each other they should have been monitoring the passengers. The person beside me took a phone call literally 30 seconds before the plane landed. As we were going down the runway ( from landing ) a person in the row in front of me and behind me made phone calls; CRAZY

Cons: "arrived one hour before flight, all counter staff had disappeared. On-line check-in was not available as an option, could not get checked in and as a result missed my flight"
Pros: "The crew were super patient (a must when dealing with the quality of passengers from Trichy who were lacking in manners and etiquette)."
Cons: "Boarding was chaotic. The majority of passengers seem to not be used to the normal manners and etiquette of queuing and it was chaotic with pushing. Some discipline and order needs to be enforced by ground crew (and this will no doubt make the cabin crews' lives easier)."
Pros: "The flight was smooth despite bouts of turbulence. The crew ensured everyone was strapped in and the pilot made a prior announcement before flight take-off. Most Pilots don’t."
Cons: "The check-in process took extremely Long as there were only two counters open. The boarding process was a joke. Despite the announcement to board by rows, there was no enforcement whatsoever and it was free for all."
Pros: "Head rest not comfortable. Short distance okay not long one."
Cons: "Plane is old i think. Take off and landing time plane some shaky and sound not pleasant."
Pros: "Extremely rude."
Cons: "I got sick on the flight from some food poisoning and the crew acted put out when I asked for some water."
Pros: "I hope never to fly Scoot again."
Cons: "Extremely rude and uncaring staff. I hate not being booked through with boarding passes. You have to wait in line at every stop, go through security and wait to get your ongoing boarding pass. The Scoot transfer people in Singapore are the most rude people I've ever met."
Pros: "Loved the tinted windows on the Dreamliner! And the rainbow lights at the end of the flight. Scoot personal were excellant!"
Cons: "Things to know: Need to download an app before getting on the flight to get ScootTV. Plane was a little loud."
