The flight was delayed and food was averiage - only sandwich. The flight attendants were good and gave outstanding customer service 👍🏼

Great food on both legs and fast customer service from the stewardesses....

Nothing more to say. I was completely happy with their services.

Very nice, I feel I got good value for the price.

Amazing flight crew 👏 one of the best in the air.

Certain flight crew member were rude and short with me when I asked questions.

I appreciate the email reminders for online check-in which made my entry to the lines less stressful. The flight was on schedule and on time. The baording staff were proactively helpful and approachable. The airplane inflight food, entertainment and comfies as well as provisions are excellent even in the economy seating. The airline transfer was smooth and easy! Luggage safe and intact! Thank you EVA airline for making my trip a reliable safe and comfortable experience.

On time service. Seat comfort and the crew service very good .

Eva air is a good airline. The seats on the way to Taipei could have certainly been more comfortable, but all in all it was a pretty good experience.

AAAAHHHH... It was shocking in a very positive way, the attention to detail, the courtesy, the manners of all personnel on board, the constant honest smiling. You can see and feel they take pride in all they do no matter how trivial. The plane in general was very comfortable. I can't wait to do it again

There could have been better spacing of the passengers, it was crowded in some parts of the plane then other while rows were empty

Unlimited drinks and snacks on this long flight. Very courteous Korean staff !!!

The flight was at least 3 hours late with not much of an explanation other than connecting flight was late

Everything about Korean air is great, hands down! Will always prefer this airline from other carriers.

Crew was ok, but some passengers were a bit rude. Again, all outlets were not working, only the really slow charging usb plug on the entertainment system. Entertainment system was also bugged, some features just crash, the touch screen wasn't working and when trying to watch a movie the onscreen display kept flashing off and on making it very difficult to watch.

Great crew, decent food Charging plugs were broken on both seats next to me. Only the USB port was available, and that charges, very, very slowly. Seat was also broken, it would not lock into position when reclining.

I flew Asiana Air not Korean Air which was my original flight. So, I have no say about Korean Airlines right now. I hope you guys will not make any changes of my flight on Feb 15th. I want to fly Korean Air on Feb 15th. and make sure it is the same flightr njumber for my husband also and do not make any changes on either flights. thank you for reading my letter.

I was handled by some very rude CSA's in DFW. I was forced to check my carry-on as I was flying economy. You are now allowed only 10 kg total on all carry-on items. As my carry-on was 10 kg, and my backpack was 2 kg, I was made to check my luggage. I find this procedure unfair, as many other passengers in economy CLEARLY had more than 10 kgs. If KA insists this is their policy, then it should be enforced uniformly for everyone. TO INCLUDE Business and First Class. They are allowed 18 kg now. From my perspective....absolutely ridiculous. This was the first time in over 35 years I have been made to check my carry-on. I am EXTREMELY disappointed 😞

Flight was on time and the crew was very attentive ,friendly and helpful

Flight was late boarding. United crew were not friendly and cordial unlike the ANA crew.

Cabin Crew was excellent. They took care of everything requested. Flight was good

The ROOM was great. We would love to have it on all of our flights. LOL

The pilot was kept warning about the weather terrifying us. The flight attendants were not warm or pleasant.

Flight was good and comfortable, even for long haul economy. No complaints.

Almost 6 hours of delay with over 12 gate changes. Flight was supposed to depart around 6 and instead depart after 12am. No accommodations were offered than some snacks closer to midnight when the crew was planning to throw away some snacks.

Everything was good may improve some alcohol drinks and amenities during fly

Wonderfully pleasant experience. Good meal and beverage selections. Professional air staff.

Wonderful. I love ANA airlines. It's the best so far. My first pick when I travel now.

Loved that leg room was great for economy, and food was definitely better than other American airlines, great selection of movies. My mom is happy.

Big selection and great food and beverages in business class with good service. Full recline but less privacy compared with Qatar.

I spent 45 minutes with supervisor trying to get 2 bags checked for this international flight . He wouldn’t give it to me because West Jet was involved in this booking.

Great. We received a meal even though it was a short flight.

Flights home are always happy, except this time I was traveling to be with my ailing father.

Good service and food. However, we paid over $400 for aisle seats for my disabled husband and me, and we were given window and middle seats. This was dangerous for our health condition on such a long flight. We needed to stand up and walk around frequently, but we were stuck in our seats. Please give us a refund of our seat payment since you chose not to honor our request.

Everything was fine and I have no complaints or things to note.

The economy seats are much indeed roomier. Meals needs improvement.

Food was hood for airline food with good poftion and variety in meals. Frequency of beverage service was very low and amount of soda with meals was inadequate.

From Chicago to Hong Kong was great., but from Hong Kong to manila we had hard time looking for the gate of our connecting flight. There wasn’t hardly any sign.

The flight crew was exceptionally good. Personal needs were well met. The food choices were very nice.

On time. Carry on and personal bag was accommodated on the plane. Entertainment was accessible without bringing own device. Whole can of juice was provided rather than a pour.

Price was crazy watch it if you Chan he your flight

On time, easy boarding. Anytime you sit in an economy seat, it’s uncomfortable. New plane and the bathrooms were in the galley at the back of the plane which seemed odd.

Terrible service - they don’t want to be there and bad food. Entertainment system in economy from the 2000s

No drink service but there was no N/A as an option to choose. Seats were extremely tight. I am under 5.5 and I bumped my knees have no idea how taller people could manage.

Flight delayed, last seat on the plane, no arrival Gate available due to the plane departing late

Kayak booked this flight with only 1h 20min layover in Chicago. This made it impossible for me and several other passengers to reach this flight. Moreover, the gate closed boarding in spite of several passengers still on their way without waiting even one more minute. However, the plane departed with 20min (!) delay, i.e., there would have been at least 15 min time to let the delayed passengers board without causing any delays. I complained and as a "thank you" the attendent booked us on the last (!) flight to Indianapolis ~7h later! Thankfully, I caught the spitefulness and the United customer line rebooked the flight to an earlier flight. Although I can't grade this particular flight since I never had a chance to take it, Kayak made the mistake of a too short layover and the crew at the gate was awful.

Flight did not have wifi service. It was experiencing technical difficulties. Definitely and old plane that needs updating.

This flight has a history of leaving late, however, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not delayed this day. The flight went smooth, except I was in a window seat and the wall and my feet were freezing. I found it difficult to sleep due to being so cold, I also was using 2 provided UAL blankets and could not get my feet warm. This was annoying, but I still made it there on time and safe.

Old 757 with poor entertainment system. United no longer partners with United for free text and email. O'Hara an absolute disaster! Limited gates clauses two hour delay. Unfortunately this appears to be the norm.
