I flew Air Tahiti Nui to Tahiti six years ago and now flew to Paris. Both experiences were excellent. The seats in premium economy were very comfortable and roomy with space between my seat and the seat next to me and recliner leg rests. The food was excellent and generous and the cabin was very comfortable. The flight attendants were friendly and helpful.

I flew Air Tahiti Nui to Tahiti six years ago and now flew to Paris. Both experiences were excellent. The seats in premium economy were very comfortable and roomy with space between my seat and the seat next to me and recliner leg rests. The food was excellent and generous and the cabin was very comfortable. The flight attendants were friendly and helpful.

It was so hot. Check in and flight attendants not very friendly

Gate change at boarding was announced last minute and was far away from the original gate, and no text or email was sent to alert you; they kept spraying air freshener ugh! You could barely hear the announcements;

Really good experience. Was reasonably priced, Boarding was easy, on time, and service was great. No complaints at all :)

Seats were roomy. Staff was great offering free drinks and refills constantly. Everything was very clean.

Reclining seats with leg rest! Amazing flight crew! Loved the food! Everything was perfect!

Very friendly and professional crew from check in to be working to flight crew to disembarkation.

Tahiti Nui Was great we did some business class, I don’t know how the regular seats were. LAX is horrible. I wish Tahiti Nui flew through San Diego

Flying with Air Tahiti Nui is always the best flight experience.

The trip was seamless. Attendees are wonderful. Plane brand new.

The boarding was fairly good, the flight attendants were efficient & patient, we had a decent snack for food, the arrival was smooth. Very happy with my overall experience!

Flight went well, 2 hour delay was disappointing but understandable if there was a maintenance issue.

Flight was delayed by almost 2 hours due to air control and no available plane. We didnt land until after 1:30am. And it changed my whole vacation, no sleep the 1st night

It was awful. I will never appreciate this type of connection where i have to wait 12 hours which turned into 18 hours due to Alaska's delays after flying over 15hours already. The 15 hours already made my body suffer as soon as I deplaned. I struggled to breath and was about to faint,but being alone, I tried to hold on my carry on luggage I wasn't able to take it anymore, so I informed the airport people who then assisted me. My husband had to book me a $200 hotel room so I can rest. I stayed for only 4 hours in that expensive hotel in order to catch my 8 in the morning flight to Spokane only for it to be delayed until 2:17. We finally left LAX before 3pm. Alaska was also inconsistent with their gate assignments. Our first gate was 64A, after the delay they sent us an email that the next gate was 68,but the arrival and departure board showed gate 60. When I asked the desk 60 agents, they said it will be gate 61. All these experience contributed to my exhaustion and stress which affected my heart and well being.

The best airline!!! Their customer service is beyond wonderful, especially over the phone.

Crew attitude was poor. Crew announced 3 meal options and by the time they got to our row, they just handed us pork without asking because there was nothing left. Food quality was also quite poor. Drink service was simply “any drinks?” And did not list any options. My leg was slightly in the aisle while I was asleep and crew hit it hard with the cart. One crew member was audibly complaining when we landed because we did not have a jetway. Avoid American Airlines in USA to Japan routes. Fly ANA or JAL, and you won’t face the humiliation you would on American Airlines.

It was nice this is not the first time flying with Alaska

Both flights were on time and without in-flight issues. Although we had to check our carry-on bags at the last minute (cabins were full, no more room), our bags were on the baggage carousel very quickly. (Happened both ways.) Staff was friendly. Boxed water tasted weird (a little like cardboard?) but not a huge deal. Overall good experience.

Flying into PAE was so easy because it’s baggage claim is quick and accesible. I had a car rental and the counter is inside the baggage claim area, very convenient.

It was a very short flight so there really wasn’t any entertainment my. The little pretzels were good though and the cabin crew was awesome.

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

Rude staff from baggage check to gate crew. Poor instructions. Inconsistent application of baggage rules.

Requested an aisle seat at the gate and got it. The staff so friendly

Had to deplane 2 x due to problems with plane. Delayed over 6 hours ans was given a $12 food credit which barely oaud for anything and limited to wear incoukd redeem.

more room in seats, larger snacks, more comms with delays

Gate agent and flight attendants were efficient, but more stern than warm.

The seats were great and the service was even better. Thank you!

I was impressed with how quickly the baggage transfers were made.

DL482 did not wait for about 10 of us including a mother and 3 children when we were in the same terminal on DL486, where we were switching from waiting for a jet bridge fix, to moving to a neighboring gate. I understand taxiing delays are ok either but man. We only needed 5 more minutes. DL482 did not adjust from their times at all. This was my first time with Delta.

Delta is getting worst by the minute. Where this was at one point my only go to airline, it has become like a budget airline

At the last minute, the airline changed airplanes and downgraded us from premium to economy. The seats were very uncomfortable and very tight.

Our flight delayed, due to the incoming flight arriving late from Paris. AF caused us to miss our connecting flight, also booked through Air France directly. They couldn't accommodate us until later that night, and we had to be in AMS earlier than that. They won't do anything else to help us and wanted to charge us more money to rebook us too. Not great service, since it was all their fault.

Seats! The eternal problem in economy. They are like stones!!

Everything is good except the seats are tightened no rooms for the legs,

The plane's pilots, including the captain himself, thanked me for the flight. I know it's just marketing, but it was really nice to see these people. It's a great idea. Airplane food is never "good," but the entire crew and flight organization were top-notch. I really liked Delta, and I think I've traveled all over the world, and that was something new for me. Maybe even the old planes, the B767, but next time I have a choice, Delta will be my first choice. Thank you, a satisfied passenger :)

It was a great experience. The only thing I would have changed was that the bathrooms were never cleaned and they got very dirty.

It was an OK flight with below mediocre service by their flight attendants

The only reason the overall rating wasn't "excellent" was due to problems in claiming luggage. The bags are delivered to the main area (Cinta 35) for domestic passengers, but to a DIFFERENT ROOM for international arrivees. After waiting 30 minutes, someone (who didn't appear to be from Air France or the airport) told us to go to another area. There we found our bags, which appeared to have been awaiting us for a while. We had to go through a bag check before leaving the airport. If we had been alerted to this possibility, or better yet, been to go directly to Cinta 34, we could have eliminated quite a bit of waiting.

Business class in the second leg - CDG-EVN was a disaster.

No birding was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

Totally uninformed of the situation. Not yet sure about compensation. Highly disappointed.

It was decent, there was no WiFi on the flight but the FA’s gave everyone a warning once we boarded the plane. Unfortunately it didn't give me enough time to download my entertainment content.

American Airlines was horrible! The layover flight to DFW was delayed with no clear communication and for us having to stay the whole day which led to staying a night in Dallas was comped with 2 $12 dollar vouchers and a crappy hotel. We missed a whole day in Tokyo for our honeymoon and stressed the whole 24 hours. We were supposed to leave at the same time the following day, but that was delayed hours again. And instead of letting the delayed flight go first, they let the flight that was scheduled ahead of us. American should refund us the day wasted in Dallas that should have been in Tokyo! We had lost out on paid events that we can’t get refunded. When we finally did leave, it was a good flight. You would think that was the only issue with American but we from the LAX layover, we were delayed 6 hours and were given a $12 dollar voucher that covered a drink only. The only communication we were given then was that because they were delayed in a prior flight we were delayed again. I don’t understand why it was only with American that we had such a bad time with! They have definitely left a sour taste in our mouths for our honeymoon! And then they did send an email saying we could have 2K miles…. For what? To be delayed into another day and miss our flight again?

I was able to enlist on standby for an earlier flight, and eventually made it (last row). However, the experience was poor and felt unfair. On the standby list, I was ranked #2 (#1 had been cleared a seat). The person ranked as #3, who was also in the queue alongside me was given a seat much earlier - with group 4 boarding (a seat within the first 2 rows after business class). When inquired about why I was skipped-over on the priority list, the gate agent first paused (likely cuz she couldn't explain) - and then gave me the standard expectation that if a space opens up, she'll give me the seat. Despite my priority ranking being higher, I was unduly held-back, and could have missed the plane - unfairly giving advantage to someone else. Luckily one seat opened up; but given the unfair assignment of standby seat by gate-agent, this was a subpar boarding experience.

The airline was small and the seats were not comfortable to sit in for that length of time.

Flight delayed 6 hours. Would mean I would miss My connections to Glasgow and my reason for going back. AA staff were completely useless in figuring out how to re ok me. My wife 200 miles away was on kayak offering suggestions. Also NO alerts from AA by phone or text about this delay. Just a $12 voucher for compensation. I ended up on BA

British Airways canceled our original flight and rebooked us on Air Canada one day later. As a result, we lost one day of our Geneva trip and incurred financial losses for a prepaid hotel night and a day trip that we were unable to use.

On time and stellar premium class service. Not liking non LCD display in seat backs - miss the convenience of not using your own device.

It was my first time flying with Alaska Airlines and it was a pleasure!
