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

Seats too close together. Seats should not recline without additional space between seats.. Meal service and seat reclining is a huge problem.

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;

Our flight was canceled a few hours prior to our scheduled departure. I was advised to book a new flight on another airline and we would be reimbursed for the original flight. Of course, that was denied and we're out $700. Many Alaska Airlines were canceled that day due to computer issues. This is completely unfair to us and we should be reimbursed for the extra money we had to spend.

I’m not an airline food fan but the service was excellent!

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

The service was really nice. The wine was great and the food was good. More water offered during the flight would have been nice.

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!

Our trip to Spain turned into a stressful ordeal with cockpit issues and FAA air traffic disruptions. Our American Airlines flight from Raleigh to JFK was delayed nearly four hours, causing us to miss our connections to Madrid and Jerez. We were left stranded in New York with children, even running out of diapers while trying to sort everything out. American refused to cover hotels or rental cars, leaving us to arrange and pay for them ourselves. The delays also disrupted our prepaid rental car reservations in Spain. It was a frustrating and expensive start to a family trip we had spent months planning.

Very cold on board it was like having 16hours sitting in a fridge

Old dirty plane but great lie flat seats in business class

A crew member's attitude towards a couple passengers who couldn't speak English was rude. Just because they didn't understand what the passenger said, they were not given any snack.

Great. Clean. Seats comfortable. Food was free. Had new release movies.

The boarding crew was very helpful with a little special problem I had. The inflight crew - so-so.

They kept us on the tarmac for 6 hours after already delaying our flight by 2 hours. No one had any answers. They sent our gate checked stroller to baggage claim instead of giving it back at the gate.

There was a big delay and I missed my connection flight

I don’t like the music section but I believe it was a cost decision. I changed my flight last minute due to work issues and had to sit way in the back. The seats were way closer together than I would have preferred.

Our particular exceptional experience was with Johnny at JFK at check in. He was the kindest, most accommodating agent I’ve ever encountered taking extra steps to help my husband and I with our extra baggage. I hope that he knows how much he positively affected our trip.
