It was a great experience had been wanting to fly emirates to Dubai for long time. Thank you to all the staff.

everything was great , perhaps lower pricing and more miles incentive and prolong expiration of miles

Enjoyed it very much, excellent aircraft, excellent flight attendants. I will be happy to fly Emirates Air again.

Good service. I wish there was more legroom. The food could be improved with additional options.

The crew was very attentive and delivered great service unlike any other airline. It was our first time with Emirates. Our only critique is the food. Pasta pesto is not very common. Tomato sauce would’ve been more of a crowd pleaser. Beef curry sounds bad because curry can be very tough on the stomach. We were in row 26 and the pasta ran out, meaning no one wanted the beef which says something. The beef was just ok… The rest of the food was very good and generous. The plane speaker sound could be better. It was tough to understand announcements even with headphones. Although we did not need them this time due to the purpose of our trip, we were surprised that 2 checked bags were included. That’d be great for the future. It was unpleasant though that our personal items were weighed (we’ve never had another airline do this), especially when we didn’t have checked bags and almost had our carry-ons checked. Overall it was a good experience, but we wish the prices were friendlier for such a short distance (Miami > Colombia).

It was very exlent flight and thanks a lot kayak

Flight was cancelled without notification. Information on flight status was not available on Emirates's website.

I liked everything accept the delay try to improve in that area

Me and 2 other rows were forgotten during food service. We waited over an hour before they finally served our food. Then only had what was left. They did apologize. Also, they locked the bathroom due to turbulence and my 4 year old had to pee himself because they wouldn’t unlock it for him.

There was a smell front the washroom on flight. There could have been efforts to ensure better sanitation/air circulation once used severally.

We experienced delays in small increments that added up to more than an hour. At the gate, staff showed little concern and compared our delay with the inbound flight’s two-hour tarmac wait, which didn’t address our situation. Once onboard, the flight attendants seemed tired and unfriendly. I understand delays are frustrating for everyone, but passengers shouldn’t feel blamed for them. During the flight, a bright light above the emergency exit stayed on. It was concerning, and no one explained it or offered passengers the option to move. After landing, we waited about 30 minutes on the tarmac for a gate, then waited again for an agent to connect the plane to the terminal. From the Reagan gate staff to the cabin crew and RDU personnel, the service felt dismissive throughout. Overall, this was a stressful trip and a very disappointing customer-service experience

My flight from Atlanta to Oklahoma City was delayed multiple times. I ended up arriving in Oklahoma City nearly two hours later at around 1:50 am the following morning. This was a highly disappointing experience.

My Delta flight 2423 from Atlanta to Oklahoma City got delayed multiple times. It was originally scheduled to depart at 10:41 pm EST with a 11:58 pm CST arrival in Oklahoma City. However, after multiple delays, the flight finally departed Atlanta at around 12:40 am and arrived in Oklahoma City at around 1:50 am. What was even more disappointing was that none of the crew members acknowledged, let alone apologize, for the delays. These delays were not due to weather and were only due to operational/mechanical issues on the part of Delta. As a former Platinum SkyMiles member, I valued loyalty with Delta. However, after having similar experiences in the recent past, I'll be switching my loyalty over to American Airlines going forward. This was a highly disappointing experience.

Love Delta. I'll take connections to stay on Delta even if another airline has a direct flight.

The main issue was the quantity of the drink. The hostess gave only half cup full of the soft drink. I was thirsty and was expecting full glass like every other time.

Delta always provides stellar service. I am always impressed and will try my best to travel via Delta if I can afford it.

Amazing, delta One is extraordinary. Worth the money. They took our bags at the door when our driver dropped Us off at Heathrow.. the Virgin CLUBHOUSE lounge was wonderful and the flight was great. Service food our little pod all near perfect.

This flight was the flight we missed due to deltas delay at our first airport going TO Atlanta.

In-flight: great! Efficient & comfortable, no complaints. On the ground: quite the opposite. The flight was delayed with no real explanation. If you can fly direct with Delta that's your best bet. Connecting flights with them when one is delayed, especially if the next flight is to a small airport, really was a mess. They did correct the problem with no cost to us, but it made getting home a 24 hr journey instead of 8. Also, staff at the gate at Minneapolis was NOT kind at all.

My bike did not arrive in Chicago alongside 2 bags. Hoping we get them tomorrow.

American Airlines seats can be more comfortable and it would be nice if they have screens to watch movies instead of just on my phone.

The flight went great. Of course sleeping is always a challenge for me when sitting up but there’s nothing they could’ve done about that. All went as great as it could’ve. Food great, friendly flight attendants and good entertainment.

Whatever was good was diminished by the late delay from Nairobi which caused the missing of our flight to Seattle then we were connected to another flight to Miami which also caused the missing of flight to Seattle again delaying us for several hours in Miami

One hour before landing was the most scary part of my life. The plane just dropped from the air . No explanation or apologies from the captain. Women and children screaming everywhere. Would like to know what happened

My laptop in checked suitcase disappeared. The check in lady asked about it and found this very curious. She made me sign something when I insisted it remains in my checked suitcase. Robbery without violence.

My flight going to doha had economy seats that had a little more leg room. Coming back the leg room was not there. I'm 6'3" and my knees were against the chair in front of me. I couldn't slide my feet under the chair. The 15 hour flight felt like torture from the lack of sleep I was getting being so uncomfortable. Food and crew were great though.

It was excellent except for at the very end. I woke up about 1.5 hrs before touchdown and wanted to order food in the Business class. I was told they had shut down food service. It would have been good to get a heads up before they closed the service. Anna the air hostess was wonderful. She did get me 2 bowls of fruit and I was very appreciative of her. Wonderful human and a hostess.

Flight canceled twice. Second cancellation with no notice. Qatar only got me to Copenhagen even thou flight from Copenhagen to Helsinki was code shared with QR they made me purchase a separate ticket for over 200€. At check in only 1 check in was allowed. I had to argue with staff to allow the second, carry-on sized, bag to be checked in for free. My original tix allowed 2 full size luggage as checked luggage. My 14+hr flight turned into a 60+ hr journey. 😢

There was not enough food for everybody. Some dishes were missing.

My carry on bag was taken by Alaska Air as we boarded in LAX! She said there was not room. There was plenty of room. I told her that my meds and personal items were in it. She did not care. She said it would be sent to my final destination, Nairobi. Well it got to Nairobi the day I was to fly home. The handle of my bag was crushed so could not retract. So I had to remove it. I had to buy converters, malaria medication. personal items. I filled out the missing form at the Nairobi airport. I asked that it be shipped to the Kisumu airport. When it was obviously not going to make it for my time in Kenya. I asked that it be sent to John Wayne Airport. NONE of that happened. I only knew it was at Nairobi because my air tag indicated it was finally in Nairobi the day I was leaving Kenya! Now I need to purchase a new carry on bag!!!

Good could be better. Crew is good but not great. Not much snack options for kids. Bathrooms were not cleaned on time

The crew were really bad mannered! And spoiled all my mood throughout the flight!

Limit the number of usage of wine or please arrange our seats. The passenger was drunk on this flight and not on Thiruvananthapuram to Abudhabi.

The seats seemed smaller than other business class offerings. The entertainment menu was limited. Flight crew was good.

It was excellent service in the snow storm gives us hotel and transportation. It will be more better if u can add one more meal because it’s a long flight boring journey. If you give extra meal time passes faster and can enjoy the trip better

Food quality and varites were very minimum. Surprised to have no desserts. Business class tickets should have lounge access and seats selection. They should be allowed to board while people with wheel chair, secial assistance and family with childrem.

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

Good flight. There were a few issues with the flat bed. It was some technical issues. Otherwise everything was good

The crew could have been more friendly and could have offered to make the beds. Also, Ethiad should have more vegetarian food options.

From the start of my vacation at Logan Airport, Boston it was chaotic. I'm praying my flight home is better .I'm grateful that we landed safe

I'm a nervous, autistic adult. The staff were very friendly and answered my questions and came by at regular intervals to check everyone's comfort. They even resolved a fight between two couples in front of me!

Such a comfortable flight! Food was yummy and staff was very friendly! Will absolutely fly Lufthansa again.

There was a stewardess walking up and down and keep spraying room refreshner on people heads and faces. I had to bread this and smell like a room freshener afterwards not to mention was keep falling on my face. It was terrible.

The flight from FRA to SFO was uncomfortable. The crew allowed people to change seats after boarding finished, but then made some people move back to their seats but not others, which resulted in my wife and I having to sit in two middle seats for an 11 hour flight. The entertainment system was not working well throughout the flight, and stopped working completely around hour 8.

Inflight food quality is definitely declining. Only one hot food was served and rest of were boxed meals. That’s not how was done before. Better to fly Asia or Qatar carriers for better service.

Economy plus on a long flight with Lufthansa was wonderful. Service starts with a pillow, blanket, slippers and care package waiting on your seat. An it just gets better from there.

Not to bad but it was hard changing my seat

The special meal was not correct. But the female stewardess who handled the problem did such a good job correcting the issue. She deserves recognition for understanding and providing customer service and having patience.

This was my first time using Lufthansa, from he friendly and courteous crew and great captains this was a great experience.

The issue I had with the flight was with Lufthansa support. I missed my connection due to a flight delay and they wouldn’t rebook online, only in person. This took a lot of time and visits to the airport waiting for a Lufthansa agent to arrive 5 hours later than posted and almost paying full-fare price for the new flights and refusal to add my special meal orders. It made for a challenging journey home and I didn’t feel valued as a customer.
