Find Cheap Flights from Japan to California

Pros: The food was not bad.

Cons: Passenger, largely Chinese people, don’t have common sense of not walking around while food is serving, or not standing until the plane stops etc. Instead of being too nice to those bad-mannered passengers, the crew should have made announcements to deter their action.

Pros: Everything but the plane ride to Okinawa while landing was like a roller coaster ride.

Pros: Boarding process was efficient and flight was on time.

Cons: I'm not sure why they served a sandwich at 11pm. A simple snack would have been better. And the sandwich was pretty bad. The seats were also pretty cramped.

Pros: Everything went well - on time and no hiccups.

Cons: The food and movie choices could have been better. The crew was pleasant but not super friendly.

Pros: Staff

Cons: Better movies , better vegan food

Pros: Attentive crews, food on board - Food on board provides couple of choices of mainly Chinese food. I don't claim it to be extraordinary but it is far better than most of food other airlines provides in the economy class.

Cons: There is no individual entertainment screen. The small screen from the ceiling of the airplane was far from sufficient.

Cons: Delayed / diverted - no communications whatsoever

Cons: Chinese airlines often require you to take a bus at boarding and then carry your suitcases up large flights of steps to enter the plane - this was the case in Xiamen. This flight often is delayed and this was the case. The food was below average. WiFi is free but it blocks google and gmail.

Pros: Seating was Comfortable.

Cons: Cancel the day of the flight. Had to leave the next day.

Pros: Delayed and would have appreciated more snacks.

Cons: Airline Lounges

Cons: More movies in different languages

Cons: The crew’s English was awful; this making this Cartier a bad choice for non-Mandarin speaking travelers. The power port is throttled at 20W, make my sleep therapy machine inoperablere so I got no sleep on a 12 hour flight. Food was mediocre at best. Never flying China Eastern again.

Pros: Crew and equipment were excellent.

Cons: Two flights with close departure times used the same gate, leading to an overcrowded gate area at Pudong.

Cons: Even in business class ，every time have to ask for more wine and flight attendants just not care enough ．

Cons: The food was really bad, with no good choices. And the staff were not friendly - most didn't speak English, but that wasn't a big deal for us

Cons: When I arrived to the airport I was informed that my flight is cancelled. They found me a new flight instead, 40 minutes earlier than the original one. Which was fine. But I didn't get information in advance, and some not nice experience while not knowing if there would be another flight instead of the cancelled one.

Cons: on august 14，i got an email tell me my airline is china eastern airline. i have waited for chech -in in china eastern airline for 30minutes,the china eastern told me my airline is not china eastern .maybe hainan airline i walked to hainan airline ,it told me it is not their airline.....

Cons: Got notice a few days in advance of a "flight schedule change". At first I couldn't figure out what the change was since departure and arrival times were the same as original flight. Then I noticed that the actual date had changed from October 14 to October 17. Three days later is the only option! You have got to be kidding!

Pros: On board crew was excellent, nice, helpful and very receptive.

Cons: Three hour delay in flight 3U8720 on 15-Sep-2016 from Lhasa to Chnegdu and subsequently how the hotel and transport was arranged was very poor, especially the communication was poor.

Pros: What did I like??? Um, EVERYTHING! First off I got a great price under $850 round trip to NRT from LAX was a steal! They let you check two large suit cases plus a carry on and a personal item. That all FREE!!! I travel pretty light but it was great to know they don't Nickle and dime you for bags or anything else for that matter. Staff looks amazing and treats you first class even when your in economy. They are so polite and really genuinely want to give you a above and beyond experience. And they over achieve at it! They meals are great and very satisfying. The planes are big and roomy even in economy seats. On our return flight we had a brand new plane which had a sleek touch screen monitor and controller. There mad tons of media available (articles, language games, games, movies, tv shows and more) with USB ports to charge devices on each seat. Plus 10inch personal monitors. Earbuds were included free of charge, aswell as socks toothbrush and tooth paste. They have is two big meals on our direct flight (awesome that they have direct flights). Plus, they offered free snacks too and gave us a full can of soda vs. a small cup. They come through several times offering coffee, tea, water and snacks. All free of charge. This was my first time flying Singapore Airlines and I loved it!!! I wish Everyone was this amazing! Norwegian Airlines was the opposite as far as charging for everything! Had to pay each stop for any luggage ($100 per checked bag). No meals free or charge. They wanted money for everything! And yea a skimpy sandwich was $9.00 :(.

Pros: Crew was very pleasant!

Cons: Cabin area warm for a 9.5 hour flight! Food selection was not much.

Pros: (Previous PE comparisons: Turkish AL, Air NZ, SAS) Ease of check-in, on-time dep/arr, crew attention and responsiveness, seating within the range to be expected of this class.

Cons: Plane condition: Cosmetic plastic panel below monitor and seat back pocket on Seat 31E fell off when foot rest was lowered; had previously been secured by adhesive tape. Panel removed by crew. In-flight entertainment system: Persistent intermittent loss of sound while listening to movie or TV program. Food: Tried to use "Book the Cook" feature touted by Singapore's website. Was unable to get on site for that purpose. The last try a message appeared (late September) that site was being "rebuilt." On the flight, there was no menu of choices; we were offered 3 vaguely worded choices which boiled down to beef, chicken or vegetables. Those appeared in not particularly appetizing forms and combinations--P.S., we like east and southeast Asian cooking and had just spent 3 weeks in Japan. Failure to provide information about possible delays due to WRG deplaning location at LAX: Although we are frequent fliers to and from LAX, we'd never heard of the WRG. It would have been helpful if the crew had informed us upon arrival that there could possibly be a wait on the plane as buses were used to transport us approximately 1/2 mile to TBIT. Generally: We chose Singapore because of its reputation for excellence. Belying the name of the class, both Turkish AL and Air NZ treated Premium Economy passengers as "junior" business class. Singapore treated us as coach with a roomier cabin and seating pitch.

Pros: Check in and boarding were flawless. The flight left about one hour late. The seats in coach are getting smaller and smaller. I got an aisle seat to have a little extra room (I'm 6'1") only to get hit big time by the food cart (they did apologize). The food was plentiful, but mediocre at best. The flight attendants were working hard, but we're abrupt and tired. Overall, I have three stars, when in the past, flying SA was always a five star experience. It got me back home though. :)

Cons: Better food. Serve bottled water not from pitcher (?tap water).

Pros: They are all very friendly

Pros: The food was pretty good and the crew was very attentive. Checking was easy.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Friendly crew. Comfy seats. Timely meals and snacks.

Cons: Food is too salty

Cons: I think Chinese people just don’t like Americans.

Pros: Crew amazing, seat comfortable

Cons: More new movie and menu for food diversity like noodles sandwiches.,,,

Cons: Layover in Seoul at 3.30am. Nothing is open - even the lounge does not open until 5am

Pros: Crew was really helpful.

Cons: There could be a vegeterian food option.

Pros: Good

Cons: Good job

Pros: Clean facilities, polite staff. Hits the right notes on a trip to Korea or connecting to other Asian countries.

Cons: Being notified in advance that the flight was going to be delayed 40 minutes instead of waiting until the scheduled boarding time to say there was a delay and the delay time was undetermined.

Pros: Crew was great food was great flight was safe

Cons: More room

Pros: Crew pleasant and friendly

Cons: The food is terrible. Selection of beverages and meals very limited.

Cons: Luggage didn’t make it to JFK. Expecting it will in the next 24-48 hours.

Pros: I booked my business flight through kayak, but looks like kayak is using Flyus.com who’s has a nasty customer service. Even requesting meals cost money. Air China can’t do anything with my flight and are sending me to the kayak.com. I will never again book through kayak and will be reporting this

Cons: Don’t sell services through Flyus.com.

Cons: The flight was always delay.

Pros: Yes very much

Pros: The crew was friendly and polite. Cannot complain. The seat in Premium Economy was better than expected. Certainly worth the upgrade.

Cons: The food was good but could have been better. I don't really know what to normally expect. The cloth napkins and metal flatware were certainly appreciated.

Pros: Crew hospitality was/were noticeable

Cons: On time food service If possible — provide 3 choices for food — Vegi. Meat (poultry), Fish Provide at least adequate/standard seating spaces (in comparable to other international airlines ) While booking, passenger must know (clearly) price differences (among same class) -& its benefits

Pros: crews were amazing and friendly.

Cons: i couldn't think of anything at this time.

Cons: 90 minute delay

Pros: Nice crew

Cons: No leg room for 6’6” person.

Pros: Crew was nice the flight was smooth and comfortable seats.

Pros: It was a safe journey good rest and a very smooth operation

Cons: More vegan options

Cons: Electricity didn’t work in my pod

Pros: Thier food tasted excellent!

Cons: Wish there was a vegetarian option too.

Pros: Friendly, clean. Great movie selection.

Cons: I wasn't allowed to reserve a seat - apparently they don't allow Kayak customers to reserve seats now. I was forced into a middle seat and was uncomfortable and dehydrated the majority of the trip. Nice girl at baggage check said she'd ask a manager to move me, and to let them know at the gate, but the people at the gate said no. I felt discriminated against because I didn't book through them and/or I'm not Japanese. They historically love to put mushrooms in their food, like a fetish. This left me with one choice for the entree - some version of oyakodon - eggs and chicken. In my box there were two enormous chunks of fat/skin and another unidentifiable part of the chicken, and about the amount of edible chicken as 1 1/2 nuggets from Chick-Fil-A. There was more lotus root than chicken, so basically I had a box of rice and scrambled eggs with garnish. For the second meal, it was the Yoshinoya gyudon - a small serving of thinly sliced beef with rice. If I bought this fresh at a Yoshinoya restaurant, it would cost about $3. It's the rough equivalent of serving you a McDouble - cheap and filling and a coin toss if you get stomach pains. I lost that coin toss. Unless there is a big fare difference or I find out that their reserved seat policies are changed, I will choose ANA or another carrier. I used to enjoy JAL, but I cannot abide by idiotic decisions that seemed designed to punish people for using 3rd-party booking sites or who are not Japanese.

Pros: Entertainment options were good

Cons: Food was mediocre and long waits for restroom

Pros: Yes Crew were indeed amazing!

Pros: Nice entertainment on this flight, modern movies and TV programs. The food was good, more than enough to fill you up on a 4.5 hr flight.

Cons: The business class configuration on the 777s operates on this flight is not worth the extra price paid. I found that the level of recline (120 degrees) made my back ache and it just wasn’t comfortable. I’ve flown this flight several times now and this is an issue for me. I’d like to arrive refreshed

Cons: The best

Cons: Food was lacking, everything else excellent! Not enough components to the meals. Be nice to have cheese/crackers. Better salad.

Pros: Nice space on the seat!

Cons: Washroom could’ve been bigger

Pros: Friendly and smiling

Cons: No fruits after service for dinner

Pros: Nothing

Cons: At least nicer flight attendant and better service

Pros: Kind workers and excellent food

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything but the plane ride to Okinawa while landing was like a roller coaster ride.

Pros: The stewardess was nice and the pilot got us home early

Cons: the food was gross, I got a horrible stomach ache when I got back for 3 days and a migraine. The seats were uncomfortable even though I am 5'2 pretty short but it was a painful flight. The 5 hour layover was terrible but I understand it was the shortest we could find.

Pros: You are served right away. Made to feel comfortable and welcome. Headphones were provided. Bags were included.

Cons: It’s better If no delay 30 minutes.

Pros: I liked playing tetris and pacman with a controller that was like that of a console. My flight had a lot of empty seats, and I noticed they staggered the seating so that there was nobody in front of me or behind me. Flight crew was genuinely nice and helpful even though we didn't speak the same language. The little cup holder was actually pretty cool. There even seemed to be ample leg room compared to other Chinese international flights I've been on. I've flown previously with china southern and China eastern, so that is my basis for comparison.

Cons: They didn't give me boarding passes for both flights (had a long layover in china). Other airlines printed both at the start of trip. This added quite a bit of confusion for me, seemingly unnecessarily. Also, I'm a bit disappointed in their free hotel room deal for long layovers. When I had a long layover previously with either china southern or china easter (can't remember which one), I got my own free hotel room, a free meal, and a free ride to and from the hotel. That was a real perk for my 12 hour layover. The deal with xiaman is you get a free hotel room, but you have to share it with a stranger of the same gender, and you have to pay for taxi to and from the hotel. Although you do supposedly get a free meal, I chose not to take them up on the hotel offer. Instead I took them up on their transfers lounge. This is a dark, quiet room full of dingy, dirty padded chairs and people sprawled out and snoring. I would have stayed more than 15 minutes if there were more phone charging plugs, but instead I went and ate mcdonalds and found a plug in at the kfc. Aside from all that, I would suggest getting some better Hollywood movies to choose from, as xiamen's competition has them beat there as well, in my opinion.

Pros: Crew's Services

Cons: Snacks and water ran out during the last several hours of the flight. For shorter people, their feet would have difficulty touching the floor.

Pros: Nice flight; very comfortable

Cons: Short flight; so no in-flight entertainment (no problem though)

Pros: The flight was fine

Pros: Crew was accommodating, food was to be expected as it’s airline food.

Cons: Seats were stiff. No room of person in front of you reclines.

Pros: The crew are Good

Cons: It could have been better if they improve the meal and crew are smiling. Please do not serve meal with hot Chilli sauce it irritated my stomach

Pros: Great service at check in, very nice flight crews.

Cons: The food was...well...airplane food.

Pros: I bought tickets with just less than 4 hr layover, but when we were returning to the San Francisco, we had mire than 12 hour layover. I saw this in the listing when I was booking and did not buy this ticket. HK airlines just gave us food allowance not even enough to buy a descent meal!

Cons: HK Airlines should have notified us the reason of the long layover. I got perhaps this treatment because of the cheap ticket

Pros: The company seems to be good based on their tv advertisement.

Cons: Seems like the crew doesn’t pay attention to people who does not speak mandarin or don't want to pay attention to a different race, gender or color of people. They kept at minimum contact as possible even neglect to collect the snack rabish until called by their fellow Chinese who asked for that to be removed.

Pros: 787 Plane, leg space, polite and beautiful staff + service.

Cons: Need to improve on food

Pros: Great crew. Food. Lay flat bed.

Pros: Good entertainment system

Cons: Chaotic boarding process
