Airline reviews

Although lauded as a superior carrier, I found nothing out of the ordinary about the flight. Even in the AirBus 380, there wasn't much space in economy - especially when the seat in front was reclined. Admittedly, the toilet was more spacious than I've ever seen on an airplane, but the ill-fitting divider between the cubicles left a visible slit that was quite disconcerting. The crew were ok, but they were clearly "just doing their job." There was little enthusiasm - although given the number of the passengers, I'm not surprised they were jaded. I'd fly Emirates again, but I don't hold them above other carriers.

Although lauded as a superior carrier, I found nothing out of the ordinary about the flight. Even in the AirBus 380, there wasn't much space in economy - especially when the seat in front was reclined. Admittedly, the toilet was more spacious than I've ever seen on an airplane, but the ill-fitting divider between the cubicles left a visible slit that was quite disconcerting. The crew were ok, but they were clearly "just doing their job." There was little enthusiasm - although given the number of the passengers, I'm not surprised they were jaded. I'd fly Emirates again, but I don't hold them above other carriers.

Boarding in New York was smooth and well organized. However, the boarding process in Dubai was less convenient. Passengers were asked to board an hour before departure, but after that we had to wait in another area that did not have enough seating capacity. To make matters worse, the flight was officially delayed by an hour, followed by an additional 45-minute delay while on the aircraft. The food was excellent and exceeded expectations. Seating comfort was decent for Economy Class, and considering the fare category, I have no major complaints. The entertainment system was outstanding. Being able to watch a FIFA match live during the flight was a completely new and enjoyable experience for me, making the journey much more engaging.

What a great trip . From check in to the upgrade we received a big shout out to Cleverson who was able to help us navigate the whole process super patient and was just one of the best customer service experiences we received in a very long time . The amazing staff on the flight who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable amazing food and service if you have te opportunity to upgrade it's a must and well worth it.

They changed the flight time without telling us and were unwilling to help with rebooking because we booked through orbits/kayak

It was great, a little more leg room would have been better particularly since we were in premium economy

Worst flight I ever had I payed for special seats with underpriced which I never recieved. I will like you to make sure that I am refunded my 134.00 dollars that I paid for the seats that I never received. I am looking forward for Kayak to look into this issue with underpriced because they took my money and never booked the seats for me with the airline.

I am vegan. The food was balanced, tasty and enough. I enjoyed the ride. The crew was very friendly and went out of their way to please the passengers.

On time take off and early arrival, what else can one want

Staff were friendly, and provided great service. The food was plentiful and delicious. Food could have been hotter.

I was traveling business purposes and I only had one carry on and a personal computer back pack . My carry on was 8.5 kg little more than allowable. At jfk airport check in they did not let me carry it . I was little disappointed.

Security interview by El Al staff at NYC was deeply unpleasant. Apart from that everything was good.

The entertainment was mostly Israeli movies and tv shows. Food was good though. Flight was incredibly full with very religious Orthodox Jews. Maybe they had a convention.

Flight was super full. I had to check in my carry on bag. They didn’t give me a seat until the very last minute - during boarding.

We got upgrade to premium It’s another way and feeling flying premium then economy…

Underpricer was a nightmare to deal with they would not help us and blamed the airline and the airline said underpricer just lies. So no we were not happy! The crew on the plane was wonderful.

The crew were incredible, especially with how unruly many of the travelers were. Loved the pots and hummus and the food in general. The leg room in economy was plentiful, which was a very pleasant surprise!

Check-in was quick and boarded plane on time. Seats were comfortable, large screen entertainment, slept almost entire flight. Staff was pleasant. What is great about ELAL is their safety, and ability to take a large carrey on trolley and no one cares about size or weight. No one is taken out of line because of excess hand luggage like they do on Wiz or RYANAIR.

I liked it as a half empty flight, I didn't like to wait 5 hours to fly which wasn't my fault.

The food is horrible!! The staff not smiling and looks that they don’t want to work

El al is the best choice for flights to Israel.

To get to jet blue at JFK from any connecting flight you have to go through security again.

On time, great food, good drink selection! Only down was alcohol-free lounge. Lufthansa had a much better offering!

For that price on Business class, I expected to have the pod seats. These were configured as 2/3/2 and my seat mate talked half the flight with a friend across the isle, loudly. Very uncouth.

It was an amazing experience. Flight crew's service, hospitality, and the food were phenomenal. I don't think I'd want to try any other airline company after this. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Turkish Airlines !

Not good. I was supposed to be in Mint but got in economy class

Not up to Business Class standards. Two of the three toilets were out of order. The hostesses were aware and didn’t show any responsible act to do something. Food quality was not what we expect from Turkish hospitality. Overall we were not impressed and disappointed.

I was not given basinett seat.The connecting flight was missed due to airline fault i was not accomodated for hotel.Drinks were normt served frewuently.Never travelling again on tirkish airlines.I always travel wiyh family by turkish airline but no more.zero stars

This is really the rating of two flights. JFK to IST then IST to NQZ. New York to Istanbul was good. Good crew and all positives. The flight to Astana was so bad that brought it all down. Crew was nonexistent above the minimum, seats were cramped, and it was hot on the plane. Turkish Airlines seems to be slipping down to US based carriers level.

Everything was very good, except that the plane was an hour and a half late

Professional & courteous cabin crew. Food was very good even in economy class

Very good in business class but not so good in economy.

Long wait transit service wasn’t good also I couldn’t check in online never happened me before other websites

It is almost 7 hours journey ,you should have provided with TV entertainment and mobile charging

Ok, the flight was not full yet I had people on both sided and the chairs were tight. Only 2 kinds of snacks didn’t even have milk for the coffee.

There is issue with first name and every thing is correct, and they did not onboard, it was really bad experience I recommend not to buy ticket and support team is very poor ever though online support is very bad

The entertainment system on my seat didn’t work for the whole length of the flight, staff was not helpful. Horrible experience. Its so hard to go through a flight from LA to jeddah with no movies.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Would definitely fly Saudia again.

The seats’ reclined like premium economy seats, ie, not much.. but leg space was a lot l, so it did not feel cramped. Crew was very friendly and helpful.

Route from DC was ok nothing special or bad From Jeddah to cairo horrible First flight got delayed by 3 hours no explanation so what ever Arrived in cairo to find lock on my bag Saudia crew in cairo didn’t know who did could not open had to break my bag zipper to open my luggage

The menu options in business class were few and the crew kept running out of the desired options! So what seemed like 4 options for meals turned out to be just one option! The entertainment system had very few movie selections for Hollywood and Bollywood movies. The audio in the headphones was poor as it was difficult to follow the dialogues; my fellow travelers had similar complaints.

Poor customer service, not keen to do the job, almost rude, no courtesy or even interest in customer service what so ever !

Me and my family had a flight from Dallas USA to Amman Jordan and as a foreign passenger I thought this company would be good because it has a direct flight but You can’t imagine how much we are disappointed from Royal Jordanian it’s something unbelievable. It was a nightmare and a crazy experience that we had since we got seated in the airplane. The flight attendance was being rude with pretty much every passenger in the airplane. We were a family of five members, during the flight, my sister started bleeding from her nose. It wasn’t one drop or two drops. It was a bad bleed. We asked the flight attendance to help and get us some napkins or any first aid tools. She saw my sister bleeding and She saw us panic and she said she will be back, but she never been back. We never seen her after that all along with our flight!!!! What is that Royal Jordanian !!!????? we tried based in our knowledge to help her and put some napkins. We kept her head up for pretty much two hours, and some of the passengers help us with water and napkins as well to clean her up, but we didn’t get any kind of help from the flight attendance. What a crazy attitude what a crazy customer service it’s more than the word Bad. !!! is that how you deal with a medical condition in the airplane? Are you guys care about the passengers? I have never ever experienced this bad customer service in my entire life. I never even think that this would happen in the airplane without getting any help from the flight attendance. Do you guys care about human rights? Do you guys care about passengers? Do you guys care about somebody bleeding in the airplane and need a medical assistant???!!!! what the hell is that Royal Jordanian?!!!!!!! also during out fligh , one of the flight attendance her name is Sarah was screaming and yelling on my mom , my mom is an elder lady, and the flight attendants was asking her what she want to eat, but she was yelling. I called the flight attendant and I told her nicely please can you lower your ton when you talk to my mom you don’t have the right to yell at her. She said well I was working all day with other flights and I’m exhausted. I told her this is not my damn business. You can’t have this excuse to be yelling or being rude with the passengers and you can bend a little bit and talk to her nicely. You can’t just keep standing and yelling at her. If you can’t hear her while you standing how do you think she will hear you while she’s sitting if you need something you have to bend and get closer to her and talk to her you can’t scream or yell just like that she gave me a look and she just left. Royal Jordanian, you don’t deserve a penny for your ticket we are a family of five passengers We paid over $7000 for the ticket just to get a bad customer service and bad behavior with my sister medical incident I will make sure my experience will reach to the highest position in this company. No one will accept this kind of behavior or attitude. No thank you,

I originally purchased and selected window seats G12 and L12, and I also placed a bid for K12. These were the seats I specifically chose and paid for. However, I have now been reassigned to D11, E11, and F11, which are middle-row seats. I did not purchase these seats, nor did I bid on them. Due to a medical condition, I am unable to sit in middle-row seats. Sitting in the middle section causes me to become dizzy and nauseous, and I may become sick during the flight. This is the reason I specifically purchased and bid on window seats. I respectfully request that you restore my original seat assignments or provide comparable window seats. If this is not possible, please refund the amount I paid for the seat selections so that I can make other arrangements. I have attempted to contact your customer service multiple times without success. I called approximately ten times and also tried calling your office in Jordan, but I was unable to reach anyone.

This is my second time within two weeks using them. I have bad experience with their Internet. They charge me $35 for Internet worked only for 15 minutes and then disconnected and they don’t even give me a credit or refund my money or give me a voucher about the food. It’s very bad test. There is no test actually and barely cooked still raw.

They cancelled the flight while we were at the gate. Then they rebooked me for the next day but then that was missed because I now have a connection and the first flight took too long to get to the airport. Right now sitting in the hotel until the next flight. Worst trip

Excellent There was no hot beverages in the last hour

POOR. The gate changed 5 times. The plane was late. The waiting crew and the desk staff were gossiping and chatting amongst themselves about the maintenance and plane issues. No water service on the plane after the long delay. Even after I asked for a water. I was in seat 1A. Single crew member we saw sat in the seat the whole flight on his phone. After a stressful boarding process and delay- it was REALLY disappointing.

I’m still stuck with no hope in sight. They haven’t even provide a hotel for keeping us for two nights.

I like the boarding on time , I like the respect from the male flight attendant but the female attendant could be better. Didn’t like the food

Staff were rude! Chairs are incredibly small! Comfort was minimal and food wasn’t edible.
