I like the food and the service plus the entertainment on the Telvision

Nice food, wonderful entertainment.

Old fashioned seat, no usb to charge my phone, battery went ;off and couldn't make a call to my family to assure them of a half way safe trip while stopping over for almost 6 hours in Ataturk Intl. Airport, Turkey.

clean

online check in was difficult. flight delay (20-25 minutes) due to mechanical problems

Boarding is always a bit confusing as I stand around unsure of when to board. The crew is very courteous and professional and even on a short flight the food is great, especially the chocolate.

The entertainment was not great but it was a very short flight.

transfer accommodation

the custom checks flight delay

I saved money by accepting a day long layover in Cairo. Air Egypt made it easy to get out of the airport and their hotel partner provided great meals. Sightseeing in Cairo for a day was great!

the crew was very attentive and was good with the customers. have no complaints there.

the international flight was good bu the choices of movies and music left a lot to be desired.

New boarding system of putting your hand luggage on ready was good.

You have to pay for food and entertainment even though flight over 4 hours.

The service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!

Not much

We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.

cheap(?)

everything - absolutely no frills

The food was good, the service was excellent, and we had achance to sleep.

Nothing

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Shoved on like a sardine

I generally am biased in favor of SAA, because they have better legroom, they provide blankets and pillows for the long haul and the cabin crew is acceptable.

First, I had ordered Hindu Meal; the caterer in NY does not seem to know what that means. I had some colored rice with a spiced tomato suce, with no vegetable or anything else in it at all; a Hindu meal can comprise meats other than beef and pork; and there was chicken on the regualr menu - they did not have to make me special meal. They gave a small meal (to every one), not realising that the stretch between that and the breakfast is over 10 hours; to their credit, there was some food - bare minimum - available for the picking up. The crew looked tired (or "lazy"); they served the two meals well, and then virtually were not around, except for a water and sandwich round. I do not expect them to be serving hands and foot, but in other airlines, I have enjoyed better. The entertainment offering was lmited, in the Asian segment, to some chinese offering, but very little, if any from the Indian subcontinent. There is an over one billion population in that region and they are travelling more. SAA is trying to expand: I think they can, but these little kinks need to be removed; there are more people with special food needs in the world today than in the past. These are not complaints; I took the time to write so SAA can do better, and create a position for itself in the world of aviation.

All.

I liked everything about the flight except how the layover was handled. The original aircraft for the leg of the flight from Doha to L.A. had to be changed, and it seemed like confusion descended, and 2 hours later, we were finally boarded on the new aircraft.

The added time to my layover was hard because it was unexpected, and was handled poorly, in my opinion.

The crews are ok

The seats are not too comfortable

we were stranded in aberdeen due to flooding and were to miss our connection to vietnam. we were expecting the worst when we called BA but the service representative could not have been more helpful or efficient. she had us booked in the next couple of days all the way to our door. she was positive and we could tell she really cared about our plight.

cramped seats, but that is cattle all over

Orderliness

Staff showing ignorance on "checking-in once for one trip", say from Abidjan to Blantyre. They kept me waiting but with little help.

The plane is spacious. It gives leg comfort

The service provided by the airline crew was magnificent. I enjoyed the entire flight from my departure point to the arrival point. Turkish Airline is my to go airline herein henceforth. I will implore prospective travelers to give the airline a shot (try). I can unequivocally attest that the decision to do so will not be regretted.

N/A

Boarding was on time and the service was nice. The cabin crew were nice too.

We have bought our seats, but in the airport it was found that our seats were assigned to somebody else and nothing could be done to give them back to us

None

Terrible flight had to delay few times , we had to wait inside in the plane for more than 2 hours , they had me to check im my carry on in geneva layover even i had a personla stuff inside and with no lock , rude crew i never even fly with suiss i had toncome back with lugthansa because they had to delay the flight again

Everything best airline I've ever flown with great job

The crew were wonderful.

Never got on this flight. We were never given an email to self check in, and we're unable to board 45 mins before at the gate coming frim anotthe flight. They overbooked this flight & sold our tickets, and then told us we couldn't get on flight. Now we are out $2500 buying new tix!

All the above. A simple check in email would have averted this problem. All the other airlines do this. We were under the presumption that we had to check in at airport when we didn't get check-in notice. Furthermore, they sold our tickets, so we're down $2500 and they doubled their profit. It would be hard for me to say I will use Air Canada or kayak in the future.

The crew is very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent.

Delayed three hours in Amsterdam then caused me to miss my connecting flight to Seattle. Then they only gave me the option of being late a day. On top of all that they lost my luggage. Time to retire that 767.

The seat was comfortable, good leg room for a person of my size (5' 8"), the entertainment was excellent.

Customer service was excellent

Delayed flight making it ease to miss your connecting flights..

I flew with multiple international airlines this summer and KLM was by far the best. The crew of KLM were exceptionally attentive, polite, and helpful. The meals were by far the most enjoyable of my airplane travel meals; and I learned that KLM does not charge for it's drinks on international flights, unlike most other international airlines that I traveled with this summer. In a sentence, flying with KLM was a very pleasant experience and I will recommend this airlines to others.

If I were going to list any negatives, I would say that the little travel pillow that was given to the passengers was so thin that it was practically useless, but I brought my own with me, so I was none the less comfortable.

Nothing really

The Amsterdam airport is super disorganized, with rude employees great at making excuses for their incompetence. The boarding crew really struggled to organized the boarding and wouldn't really care about people's status. We had to take a bus to the airplane, and even though both plane's entrances were open, they sent everybody to the front entrance. The comfort of the plane was horrendous, with seats over 20 years old and their business class was the same as the coach, but with no one sitting in the middle (can you get any lower than this?) The flight attendant woke me up to shove a food tray that I didn't want. We had to wait over 45 minutes after the plane landing to start seeing some luggage show up on the conveyor bell. The overall flight experience make southwest look like a luxury airline. This was my first and last time flying on KLM.
