Fine, the process or boarding was a bit slow but the flight itself was quick and smooth. Not over booked and pleasant overall

More check-in counters or faster processing. I arrived early but got to the gate just in time to board the flight, I didn't even have time to use the bathroom. The plane was really dirty, encrusted dirt is everywhere and the plane smelled bad when I entered.

I couldnot board the flight since my previous flight from Lisbon to Madrid arrived too late.

The flight was on the time and everything was very smoothi

Asientos y tener espacio para maleta de mano y no tener que facturar

And it takes 35 min to get a ticket priority checked bag

We traveled on Business Class called Crown class, and the experience was outstanding. Separate check-in area. Private separate entrance to Passport Control and Security. Excellent lounge not too far from gate. Fast seamless boarding. Very attentive flight attendance. Excellent service in board.

They did not have my AA status (Platinum Pro) in my reservation. They don't accept KTN at Dulles so I could not go through TSA Pre - terrible....

Excellent service all around thank you Royal Jordanian crew for the attention you have given us

It was a very stressful trip for me and my husband, main reason for the discomfort, kids behind our seat kept kicking the seat behind , screaming all the time of the flight , the seat in front of us has a kid with autism and a young sister with the dad , a nonstop all the 12h hours flight screening jumping overhead, stuff in his hand almost dropped on us and we have to be on alert for any move, I do understand that there will be kids but the thing is no one of the staff even bother to came near the seat and find solution , I believe there has to be a way to seat family with kids ,I’m a person who travel long distance almost every year and I used to take mostly air Canada, Lufthansa,British airways. I figured to use Royal Jordanian this time but it looks it wasn’t the right choice for us and I hope we don’t have to deal the same on our way back.

RJ is very good and nice don’t have luxuries flights but the staff are so helpful in YYL or AMM and their office at 7th circle are amazing

Was so surprised that for a short flight we were served a sandwich lunch

Entertainment content is outdated. Food; I chose the chicken meal with rice, I would like to know the thought process of serving rice and chicken to be eaten with only a fork?! I don't eat spicy food for health reasons, I found out that the rice is very spicy after the first bite, so I didn't eat.

It was operated by Oman Air . So old airplane so dirty and so hot till we were flown We paid a full price for this flight but it’s not acceptable The plane was parked in cargo parking it was very far from the airport

Some entertainment would have been appreciated on a 5 hours+ flight, the aircraft was quite old, even trays kept falling down with each minor turbulence. Meals were also bad.

Bad experience. Old food that wasn’t even covered. Flight was delayed with no announcement. Boarding gate very far. Rude flight attendants. Refusing to serve Coke Zero for a diabetic person. Refusing to provide diet sweetener for a diabetic. Refusing to provide milk for coffee. Very uncomfortable seats. Dirty toilet. Poor screen entertainment selections. Wouldn’t fly ITA again very bad experience overall. I paid for nothing.

ITA changed our 9 hr direct flight without giving any reason to 4 stop overs 24 hrs flight without delays.

I did not leave to Italy yet. We had technical problems on flight from SF to Maimi and had to land in Denver and wait for another plane to take us to Miami, so I missed my plane to Italy. I am still waiting for the Agency to fix my flight till today the haven’t done anything and I am paying for my Hotel stay. Everyday they are promising to fix my flight, they are not doing so and they are not even looking for another solution

Boarding was chaotic. Service was poor. Attendant was slow and rude. In business class, I was not offered a drink until 1.5 hrs,after takeoff. Food was inedible.

The flight was great. I don’t know about the food because I was asleep and they didn’t leave me any.

Flight on time, flight assistants super nice, business class very comfortable. The whole experience was very good.

It is the worst ever airline. All employees I spoke with over the phone were pompous asses.

We booked and purchase our seats in February for a September flight. We choose seats then also, did the online check in on the app the day before and all was fine. At the airline check in they charged our seats and we were not even sitting together after paying for business class seats. They separated us with no explanation and would not change them back. I was very upset. On the return flight, they tried to put us on standby! When again, we purchased seats in February for this flight. The plane was old and smaller and the business class seats were not comfortable like the flight from NYC. Flight attendants were hard to find once the first meal was served, luckily the flights were smooth.

Terrible. I showed up at airport and they cancelled my ticket. I wanted to go to Rome only and not finishtel Aviv part since they said that part got cancelled hours earlier and they refused. I lost money on hotel and an entire day at the airport driving back and forth. Awful experience

The programming in the entertainment features was very out of date.

During the direct flight to egypt with egyptair the crew was very rude and forced me to accept food when i had asked if they had juice because i was not hungry and did not want the food he just yelled and gave me the food and so i asked my husband to ask him in arabic to take the food back because i did not ask for this and he told my husband to keep the food my husband is palestianian jordanian and i am irish american so clearly some discrimination towards me took part here not my husband as he respected my husband in his tone , i had been to egypt alone before and other parts of the middle east alone long before i met my husband and i have traveled with my family since a baby by plane for extra perspective as half my family is upstate new york and the other half texas . So every year of my life on planes before solo traveling and this is the only time my entire life i was given by force food on a plane by a flight attendant and yelled at to keep the food and felt unsafe the entire flight to egypt and the entire return flight from egypt because the plane was not the best quality and the return flight the entire flight the air conditioning among other things did not work . I will definitely try my best to find other options in future travels to egypt as i love egypt and loved egypt long before being married to my husband and i will be back even if alone .

Hello, I did not take the flight from IAD to Cairo- Istanbul on July 14 and could not travel because my next flight was from Istanbul to Tehran. Due to the tension there, I was advised to not to travel. Indeed, I was at the IAD airport at the boarding time 9am, on july 14, I informed egypt air counter head then that I am not taking the flight to Cairo and istanbul!, the team head gave me the contact of local office of egyptair in vienna, VA but they were not in the office on July 14 and I left three voice messages and email explaining my situation to them, but no reply came back from Egyptair Virginia office yet.!! I then informed underpricer customer support on whatsup about the situation and there auto reply sustem said that the support team would call to arrange for rescheduling or refund. but no one contact me yet. Can you provide proper support ?? Thank you Alaa Mohseni B 703655 1662 conf no. CYFFHW

Overall it was a good flight like any other normal flight staff could a littler nicer pretty short and was their to do their job so overall good services can’t complain

The experience exceeded my expectations and reflected the significant progress.

My flight was great. Service by the crew was great. Only issue I had wss it got extremely warm mid way thru the flight. To the point it was a little uncomfortable

As usual, the flight was late with the typical excuse of "a technical issue beyond our control." This is the same excuse they use every late flight which is EVERY flight.

To be honest, there has been a significant improvement in the level of EgyptAir in terms of service and food quality.

Flight was delayed for 3 hrs and there is nothing at the terminal except going back through security again. Food was offered but no vegetarian option

The worst experience ever, me and my little daughter suffered a lot on this trip. If there is zero or below-zero evaluation, definitely, I will give them.

Food was terrible (I tried the beef plate). Service is improved. The plane is new so it was good enough

wifi was iffy at best. Movie selection could have been better

Boarding was chaotic and confusing. The seats were so close to the row in front that my knees were up against the seat in front of me the whole trip. The beverage service consisted of a small plastic cup of warm water. This was truly a very bad experience.

A basic, cheap flight from Bucharest to Prague. No Frills, but we got there safely.

It was cancelled you imbeciles! And then you have the gall to ask for reviews? Here! Have this review, you damned cretins!

Upgrade to business was great. The crew was nice. Disembarkation in Bucharest was very slow through the rear door to a bus to get to the terminal. The business lounge was not clean with bugs running on the floor.

I rated food and entertainment with the lower score because I did not have N/A. No food and entertainment from Bucharest to London.

Poor service ! Water need to be free and a little snack for 3.5 hour during the flight. Tarom company need to take lessons from Turkish Airlines.

There was extreme turbulence for 10-15 minutes a bit after takeoff, which of course is no one's fault. This was a short regional flight with no amenities except water. Departure and arrival wete close ro on-time. The Suceava airport is very small but pleasant and efficient. My baggage all the way from Washington DC, checked through Paris and Bucharest, arrived without a hitch. There was really nothing to complain about except a regrettable 5+-hour layover in Bucharest.

This experience was atypical. The flight left three hours late because of engine technical issues, which meant a very long wait. Unrealistic announcements made it worse by discoursgong leavimg for water, reatrrom, etc. But the crew did its best and apart from the delay, it was not a bad flight. Good entertainment and drink service.In the end, I made my connection anyway.
