The biggest problem was that I originally had a seat in the first row of premium economy as I had booked months earlier. I checked in and my boarding pass showed the seat in the first row as I had specified. When I got to the gate, the agent took my boarding pass and changed my seat to one in the last row in premium economy against the window. I had specifically booked the first row early for the legroom and for my ability to easily get out and use the restroom when I needed, since I do that quite often. The gate agents explanation was that the food tray on the seat in the first row was not working, so they gave me the seat in the last row. However, when I got on the plane, somebody was sitting in my original seat, and they sat there for the whole 14-hour flight with the tray working perfectly well. I was cheated by someone at the Cathay gate in Hong Kong. It was an outright, unforgivable lie by the gate agent or someone else at Cathay Pacific. I think this is very poor and inexcusable conduct by the people at Cathay Pacific. Perhaps somebody paid the gate agent extra money (bribe)to switch my seat and make it very difficult for me, or something else, but t was a sad experience and a very negative mark on Cathay Pacific.
They need to take training from emirates or Singapore airlines, it’s premium in pricing but poor in standards
Boarding crew at the gate mostly were being difficult. But one on board much better experience with crew and service!
Good. However the passenger in the search next to mine kept coughing. When we landed in Dallas we had to pick up.bags instead of going strait to the destination (which passengers do in Atlanta)
Although I am a lifetime Gold Premier member on another airline association, I was placed in a inside passenger seat on both legs of my journey from SFO to HKG and onward to NRT. However, i was lucky enough to have befriended two other passengers (who were related) in my row (row 62) and therefore was kept entertained with conversation for a large portion of the overnight flight from SFO to HKG. Normally, on a Star Alliance carrier, I typically can have the seat of my choice (aisle seat) and also a Premier seat (wider and longer legroom). I was a bit disappointed that no recognition of my Gold Premier status was acknowledged by Cathay Pacific on either of my flights on Sept 26-27. The food was actually very tasty unlike the typical economy class menu. Also I appreciated that the dinner drinks were served first (prior) to the main meal on the HKG to NRT portion of my flights but drinks were served AFTER the meal had been distributed (less appealing for thirsty passengers). I was happily that there appeared to have ample cabin space for most everyone's bags ---although I did have to pay more than $400 in extra baggage fees as I had brought 4 bags with me Overall, I was impressed by the diligence and professionalism of the flight crew.
In between two meals period they're not providing something like banana / cup noodles or bugger. It's really fell sad that I was asking have to wait for 3 hours for second meal. (breakfast)
The crew are timely, friendly and professional. I was very impressed.
They overbooked the flight and reassigned my seat. To add insult they lied that my assigned seat was broken and promptly gave it to someone else
Jain veg meal I opted was super in taste but there was no sweet/desserts with it. I was a big missing in the meal...Please add some sweets to end the meal with 😊
The meat-and-rice combination was a good idea, but the food could use some improvement. The meat looked a bit mushy and almost like ground meat, which wasn’t very appetizing, and the flavor was just average. Other than that, everything else was great.
This is the flight that I was not able to upgrade. Airplane had more empty seats than full.
Putting people that close to the bathroom, where you have to look into the bathroom as people are exiting and entering was not great and the smell was also not great. I know the airlines are desperate for more chairs, but that seat is a crime.
Every staff member was professional, friendly and courteous. The pizza twist was ok. It was warm but too much dough.
Flight attendants were friendly & good service, food sucks, seats uncomfortable, not many Asian movies or shows flying from Hong Kong
Very comfortable (upgraded to business class). The audio on my screen didn’t work, but I managed to play the audio through my phone while watching the screen.
I needed to make changes to my flights. When I called customer service, they assisted me with care professionalism.
It was my first time with United Airlines and I would say it was very good experience and best of all the flights were on time. Will definitely fly with United Airlines next time.
I found that it seems that the space for personal bags or luggage is not enough( the cabinets for personal bags or luggage over the seats) .
Horrible! I paid for a straight flight from Chicago to London. A week before trip it changed and now I had a connecting flight. Our flight was delayed an hour and a half because our flight crew was still flying in from CA. Forty passengers ran from one plane to the next. The next United Airlines flight was delayed two to three hours because of mechanical difficulties. They had to ready another plane which took time. I missed my scheduled excursion in London. 😢
The service was non existent . Crew did very little didn’t even answer call button . Premium economy in this long haul was the worst I have ever experienced . Never again flying with them .
Captain smooth landing, Crew efficient and helpful. We saw Mt Fuji from the plane. Thanks.
On time and smooth flight from San Juan direct to Sint Maarten.
Just to be expected on a budget airline. Since all the flights were either late on the evening it would help to offer some food for purchase Since you tourists cannot buy decent food withoit local vaccination record in hong Kong this would really to help Using phone to submit electronic data is great but for the elderly this is a hassle
Flight cancelled without notidication, had to book an emergency replacement flight at the counter
Cebu Pacific is just ok. Not really a budget airline as tickets can be pricey especially the add-ons. Releasing of checked-in baggage also took a long time to be available for pick-up. I also have a pending issue with Go Rewards where the my membership ID was automatically removed from the booking so the points were not awarded, and it has not been fixed for months already.
The staff were excellent, the seat comfort is very poor on a three hour flight, Scoot Airline seats were poor quality also, they are okay for a short flight time of no more than one hour!
It arrived 18 minutes early. Attendant are good. For baording , they should improve especially carrying thru bus.
The seats are too cramped, there is barely enough room to shift weight. This could be easy to endure in a one-hour flight, but not more than that. The crew did not clean up shortly after meals. The tray table remained open because of the meal and ate up what is left of the little seating space. The crew were just idling by for 45 minutes before they collected the trash. The airline did not inspect carry-on luggage. Most of the passengers brought too many bags, too large and/or over the weight limit. This undermines safety and discourages those who pay extra for checked bags just to comply with the airline regulations. If the airline is not inspecting carry-on luggage, why should I pay more just to check in some bags?
The front desk and early check in was fantastic and the flight did not have any turbulence
better handling of the checked in luggage. they destroyed mine
Crew was very helpful because I used a wheelchair to get around
The flight was delayed for 3 hours and I missed my transit flight.
Poor service in Bangkok. Flight attendant is not friendly. You have to buy everything like water and coffee. Expecting for International should have free food or free snacks.
Waited Over 5 Hours for a 1 1/2 hour Flight. Manila AirPort is absolutely pathetic. This was after Cebu Pacific personnel tried to overcharge me for excess baggage.
Our luggage broke and what we get back was only 26$ plus the transit in hongkong was terrible and the airline itself the screen wasn’t working but there was a proper seat space and the crew was nice and professional
speedy loading helpful staff. and clean. food is not that great
Departure date of the ticket was ONE WEEK LATER than I purchased it for. Total failure on trying to get it reissued for the date I was to fly on. Will NOT use Kayak next time due to this screw up on Kayak's part..
On-time takeoff and arrival Cabin crew very helpful, especially the crew manager (I think) (young gentleman with glass)
I cannot check in online , and not able to select my seat
Watch for "bait and switch" - cheap prices, but not obvious at all at point of purchase that there will be an undisclosed charge for baggage - and less obvious that you will have to purchase baggage at an eye-watering level. Better still, if you go this airline, leave your gear behind and buy a complete wardrobe when you arrive in country and still be ahead. The staff were very pleasant, both at counter staff level - they were clearly unnerved by having to charge - and on board.
No entertainment service which equates them with budget airlines. But their fare are regular airline fares. Aircraft are old and seats are worn.
The crews at check in counter are not professional, they are talking and playing around. Also no entertainment on the plane
2 failed landing attemps before going to Nagoya airport for refueling. After 3 hours of taxiing, we still needed 3 attemps before a succeeded landing (after the 5th attempt finally!). In total, 11 hours inside the plane instead of 4h30, and with only a crappy piece of bread to feed us. A shame.
