We supposedly bought and extra comfort seat but they don’t have true Econ plus seating.
Very friendly airline staff 👍 👍 Please consider offering some premium snacks (e.g., mixed nuts) in for the 5-hour flight in addition to the breakfast service.
Very friendly cabin crew and great comfortable in-flight experience. Check-in experience at SFO can improve if a separate web check-in/bag drop line can be added.
The only thing plus on this flight was the crew. They made me feel welcome and took care of me on the flights. The biggest issue is that business class always boards first on all airlines. There needs to be separate doors for business and premium class to enter. I had to wait over 40 minutes for economy to be boarded. I didn’t pay 5000 dollars to wait. The other issue not enough food choices , no sandwiches or snacks in between - what the hell. I would never travel this airline again.
Roomy seats and crew is pleasant. Vegi food can be a lot better in terms choices. Inflight entertainment needs to have more options especially for 13+ hour flight. Very nice and warm blankets and seats are roomy than other A350 aircraft’s. Swift boarding and crew is pleasant to deal with.
Boarding had poor communication. Passengers didn't get clear directions to prepare for Boarding. The plane was an older model which had some issues with operating the seats (the staff was great). Due to age the seat cushions were compressed and less comfortable than expected.
Fiji Airways always goes above and beyond. If anything I'd say the food was less enjoyable than in the past. But that in no way lessened the experience with the cabin crew or the excellent attentiveness and service they provided throughout the entire trip!
Again, Fijian hospitality was genuine, very comfortable, only improvement would be the entertainment. Why Do they only have 5 episodes of TV shows and from like season three...
They will look to squeeze every penny they can out of you!! Pick your seat$$...bring luggage$$$$... if they could charge you for the air on the plane they would!!
The part that really made for a poor trip was that we checked luggage, and it took 1.5 hrs. to get our luggage. This made it so we barely got to our next flight. We were the last ones on board.
I like Air NZ, but rather old plane seating in Premium Economy. Not very comfortable , nor very roomy.
Great airline service by the staff. I highly recommend it
Needed more leg room. Leg rest and entertainment system box took up a lot of space and I'm not tall. Breakfast was good. Poor quality of the entertainment options.
Aircon set too high so VERY warm and VERY uncomfortable.
Great! Flight was delayed by 30 mins but all was great. Thanks.
Arriving at Coolangatta, rows 20 forward, took the airbridge across to the terminal. It was suggested to those from rows 21 back, that we take the rear stairs and to be careful crossing the tarmac. That was all well and good. However, when we got across to the terminal we then had to climb three large flights of stairs to meet up with those coming across the airbridge. No elevator! There were people carrying babies and elderly carrying hand luggage that needed assistance from others.. There was no option to turn back.
Flew premium economy, well worth the extra. Much better seat size & space. Meals & snacks were lovely. Crew really pleasant. Internet is not great, not really useful for anything. Couldn't even send messages.
Overall, a great experience from food and crew. The only setback was that this was the Second flight from Air New Zealand within a week that was an hour late for boarding.
The air New Zealand employees who assisted us with wheelchair aid on Auckland made our transfer from flight to the next seamless. Also were amazing in helping with our luggage and customs in Brisbane.
All was good, the only thing was it didn't run on time.
Start with the boarding experience. Our flight from Seattle to Dulles Airport in Virginia was delayed because of mechanical issues with the aircraft. Nothing we could do about that. But the board in the passenger gate waiting area gave a boarding time with the delay, and we watched that. The waiting area was large, and we could not understand anything the gate attendant announced. By the time we four passenger realized the aircraft was boarding before the displayed time, we had missed our board-first opportunity (we were flying full-price First Class) and we were behind all the "Category B" boarders. we had one carry-on bag, and when we finally reached our row, all the overhead bins were full. The flight attendant had to remove some stuff to make room for our bag. He also announced that anyone on the flight could stuff their bag wherever they chose. Second, the food was terrible. I don't believe I have ever had choices that were so poorly conceived, especially in First Class, and I have flown to sixty-five countries. Third, the aircraft itself, a Boeing 737-900, is a pitiful excuse for comfort. Unlike the Airbus on which we flew to-and-from Honolulu to Seattle, the seats did not recline much, and other than a bit more leg room, there was no advantage to having paid the premium to fly Fist Class. I can assure you that we will never willingly fly Alaska Airlines again.
Didn’t call First Class passengers, called priority boarding. I’m old, I was listening for First Class. Family in row 3 made the flight annoying. Out of control child, father the kept getting into to overhead slamming it shut, blocked the isle for a solid 45 seconds during de boarding. Then blocked the door getting off the aircraft. These people should seriously be fined for their behavior, I didn’t splurge on First Class tickets to deal with such things.
We tried for days to use online Alaska Airline app we needed to know what Gate to depart from . When we got there we were given a paper boarding ticket with the wrong gate on it . We almost missed this flight . It caused great stress and caused a health side effect. The previous flights April 24 started hour late mechanical issues . We were not allowed to depart plane in time to get correct gate and missed our flight .
Had to buy a snack box as I am gluten free. They should be free in extra comfort. Food they provided was awful. Not enough water stops.
it was good except the too big men in my personal space.
Free WiFi was awesome. I hate the five hour delayed take off.. arrrgh!
Overall, we had a very good experience with Alaska Airlines on our flight from Honolulu to Seattle. The First Class cabin was comfortable, boarding was smooth, and the crew was friendly and attentive. The meal service was solid and the overall flight felt well organized. One thing that stood out negatively was the drink service. I was in First Class and, while quietly watching movies and not causing any issues, I was cut off after four drinks. I understand safety policies, but the cutoff felt a bit premature given the context.
Cancelled the flight cuz they sent the WRONG plane and then they promised to rebook us and let us know within the hour what our next flight was. I have heard nothing after 12 hours and can’t get ahold of anyone.
I paid for WiFi but it never really worked. That was frustrating.
I flew Hawaiian Airlines three times during my trip. Each time, when we went to baggage claim, it took about 45 minutes to an hour to receive our luggage.
Despite having numerous passengers held up by American Airlines delays. Qantas (an AA partner) closed boarding with 0 flexibility
Boarding , crew and meals were all amazing. Couldn't wish for a better LOOONG flight from Dallas to Sydney .
Boarding was effortless, the food was outstanding, the seats in Premium Economy were extremely comfortable, and the staff and crew were excellent.
PREMIUM ECONOMY - excellent !Brilliant new plane. Excellent tv catalogue. Good food. Good communication and service from all friend Australian crew. Good communication from captain. Best travel experience in years.
I couldn't hear all of the announcements. It was nice when they put them on the screen.
I liked boarding the plane. The staff were rude, the food was appalling and the chairs the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced
One of the best Qantas business flights I've had. Quality product
Loved the staff. The economy seats could have been bigger.
Experience was great. My only advice is to have a pasta dish on the menu. Otherwise everything was excellent.
Ok flight, except for the lack of a clean airplane. The obvious quick turn around in schedule means that Qantas hasn’t allowed enough time to clean the plane from previous flight. So food scraps and old packaging is nearly always found around the seat and seat pocket. Not to mention the walls and all fixtures.
Everything was fine except they changed the gate number and we ended up running all over LAX because of it.
My flight in Dallas had maintenance issues. Which caused us to missed our connecting flight in LA. We had to stay overnight in Los Angeles. American Airlines booked us a hotel. The hotel was the Holiday Inn. It was horrible. The whole hotel smelled like weed and there were people rambling all night long up and down the hallways. The carpets in the hallway and the room has stains. There was dirt on the floor. It was so nasty that I slept in my clothes.
The screens were inoperable for movies and such, but everything else was just fine
The flight crew was rude. We were in first class and no one even offered water until an hour after we were in the air. Horrible experience
Boarding gate in Honolulu was staffed with a great clerk with a soothing voice despite the flight delay of over an hour. Flight attendants in the plane were all grumpy, not pleasant looking bunch. Their sour attitude showed throughout the flight. Inly able to get a select few movies started. Most of the movie links in the “free entertainment” did not work.
Plane, flight, crew, captain were all great. The first flight had a Chipotle box lunch...delicious. this return flight not as tasty, but filling.
Flight boarded from Gate 39 at OGG, the farthest gate in the terminal. There were no Hawaiian themed amenities for the flight. The first class service was mediocre at best; I received not special welcome or recognition as an executive platinum member of American Advantage program. The flight attendants were more concerned with their cell phones than saying "thank you" to the passengers as we disembarked. Fortunately, the flight arrived at LAX a few minutes early.
What, first class and not even a cup of coffee before landing at 5 am in First Class? Really?
RE Food: Wish there was a choice for No Rating. Flew from Honolulu to Los Angeles on a Red-Eye flight (11:00 pm to 7:30 am). Other than a package of cookies with a beverage choice offered soon after take-off, and a beverage choice shortly before landing, no other food choices were offered. Everyone slept or rested for most of the trip. Nothing to rate. RE Entertainment: Everyone was sleeping most of the flight. Only saw one passenger watch about 30 minutes of entertainment on his iPad. I never attempted to access any entertainment options.
I can say I will not be taking this airline again any time soon. Seat were uncomfortable and too tight. Lack of chair screen and little overhead space.
