Finnair was ok. But some things were pretty bad: 1. Crew was not friendly, especially a crew member named, Maria. She woke me up while I was deep asleep by force just to let me know that 2 people can’t be on the same seat (my toddler and me) for sleeping. 2. There was no vegetarian option in the menu so I had to eat bread for one meal 3. They didn’t have an option for child meal

The food was delicious. There has been a major improvement here in the last few years. Excellent, friendly service. An enjoyable experience.

The crew was friendly, and the flight landed on time

There wore nice leather like sits, in my opinion seats lay out bit tight . Crew was great they did averything possible to make averywone comfortable as possible, food was, think worst I ever head on flight, head chicken and yellow rice. Ice cream was a nic treat.

My American Airlines flight was deleted and you guys never let me know

This has been the worst experiencia I have had traveling overall. More than 3 delays, no one answering questions, no one at the AA counter. No one at customer service and after having to change transportation to airport and spend the night at a hotel paid by me, we were delayed inside of aircraft for more than 2 hours!!! Bad experience!!!

I’m very disappointed, to fly into an airplane for 10 straight hours, and not having a TV even though when I put the ticket I was told that I will have entertainment for the TV. Very disappointed.

Boarding was a shambles, with no proper line or queue and multiple groups joining at the same time. Overhead space was limited. Seat spacing (width) is not generous. My neighbour was invading my space, before he even spilt his drinks over me (twice!) as he struggled to contain his meal on the table. The main meal was very poor. Choice was simply chicken / turkey - the crew didn't know exactly which - or vegetarian. The chicken meal was really poor quality - uninspiring and tasteless; and very little offering of drinks. Half the crew were friendly, half really need to cheer up.

We were not happy bc we paid for our seats differently from the actual seats we got ( last row near restroom )

Check in was awful. Missed our flight because we waited to check our bags for over an hour. Only one or two agents available. Plan on 3+ hours if you fly out of Madrid. Won't use this airline again.

My ONLY complaint with LOT was the lack of WiFi and the food in business class… still, I use them because they have great connections to Chicago and they fly the 787 - which I think is a great wide body jet. Well… now LOT has WiFi (good satellite speeds) and AMAZING food. LOT now is giving Turkish Airlines a big big run for the money. And they consistently have less expensive business class. I am a very happy customer!

Issue with boarding, group of passengers on a religious trip coming back to NYC kept trying to change seats, even standing when the plane was pushing back. Crew/Pilot kept very good composure, some passengers got aggravated and started venting out loud but this group created a serious security risk. Crew/Pilot should've been more stringent and called in security or remove them from the flight.

Amazing crew, delicious food and drink selection. 12hr felt more like a 4hrs. Comfortable beds. Can’t wait for the new business class cabin

Flying business class saves you. Once you get out of the terminal and onto the plane, it’s fine. The traffic at the gate is a horror. No organization at all. The fact that Business class is promised early boarding is a myth.

The seat was paid for but given for some different person .

Horrible communication, flight boarded then we sat on plane for almost 5 hours as the runway was barely covered in snow with no plows in sight and the as we tried to taxi there was a major equipment failure due to poor push off technique causing all passengers to be taken off the flight to ultimately have the flight cancelled. There was barely any communication to passengers as to what was happening or what to do next to get placed on another flight. Arriving to my final destination a whole day later having to take a connecting flight through Lisbon to ultimately end up in New York instead of a direct flight as none available for the next day. Never flying LOT airlines again!

Smooth flight, excellent crew and good food. Not enough space; sitting are too small.

Seats were so uncomfortable, my butt hurts so much, I wish they have more cushions,it really was horrible, Except that, Stewarts were polite food was decent

LOT told me on my first flight that I had missed boarding my second flight and told us to go to a service desk to reschedule. We then were told our flight was still boarding and that we had to run through the Warsaw airport to catch it which is just a long long runway airport. The workers at the airport were not helpful at all and you have to go through two passport checkpoints. I have asthma and was almost dead when I got on the plane and no one helped or gave us water or even acknowledged us. The flight was fine - the crew members are not friendly so it’s a very functional flight at best. Also my bag didn’t make it to my final destination.

Horrible trip. Plane was late , so late . the flight conditions were very uncomfortable.

Tv didn’t work and left the gate late but everything else was perfect.

Service and food were very good, I liked it a lot. I liked the little gifts we all got , but I don’t think I’d fly on Turkish airlines to go to New York from Istanbul or from New York to Instanbul anymore. Flight is way too long.

Great service. Seat was a bit small but it was fine. Food was great

Could have been better. Bag rechecking could have been eliminated. Gate location and direction need to be clearly stated.

Older plane with finicky seats. Crew often seem to focus on "pet" clients and over extend services to some over others. I get less attention since I'm not a regular business class client. Regardless, I've paid the money and would expect equal attention.

Be honest of what you sell: This was sold as Business Class on all three legs, while the JetBlue plane didn't even have business class seats, and wanted $164 for extra legroom seats.

On Turkish it is all about the food and the service. I am overwhelmed with the quality and variety of the dining service offered on business class. I prefer the updated A350 to the older B777 cabin layout, but both are comfortable. Flights left and arrived on time with updates from the captain. I will definitely fly with them again.

Requested food options were always finished. Supplied food items were good but of course not the desired choices.

Very bad experience with turkish airline tk 0001. Very uncomfortable seats and food ran out and crew was not helpful

Worst experience with boarding once we left the wheel chair even traveling business we had to wait with all the crowd for the bus to take us to the plane then climb the stairs with our bags When you pay extra for comfort and convenience and you don’t get any is disappointing

not good missed my connection SAS did not leave me anywhere near enough time to make my connection. Ended up adding about 10 hours to my travel day

I travelled business class with my spouse from ATL to Helsinki and back from Riga to ATL. The seating was not very comfortable. Bread crumbs and left over disposable items from previous passengers were not picked up. The cabin was extremely noisy as the crew keep talking and laughing all night long making it difficult to relax or let alone sleep. Crew must make sure to keep the cabin as quiet as possible. The seating should add a privacy features such as curtain or something. Food choices are limited and average at best. I travel very frequently but this was my first time with SAS. I would try to avoid travelling with SAS in future and would not recommend it to my friends or family. My return flight Aug. 9th was cancelled for no specific given reason or explanation. The new flight on Aug 10th was delayed by 45 mins even though it took off on time. Sorry, if you are disappointed to read my survey but I have to speak the truth. Nayyer Islam, MD

From my last trip nothing except for the luggage fee

I loved the food. The veggie option was delicious. I also appreciate the sense of sustainability with Airline's choice of packaging. Hosteses were super friendly and courtous. I also appreciate that checked luggage was included with the airfare. The entertainment portal could see some improvements. The touch screen responsiveness in Solitaire game was poor and it doesn't seem to be hardware related as other screen functions were just fine. It was hard to move cards between piles and system skipped cards from the deck. Also, there was no option for winnable vs random draw. Sudoku was cumbersome regarding touch screen, too. In addition, the difference between medium and difficult levels in Sudoku was huge. Medium was actually too easy.

This was my return flight and it was 100% different than my out bound. Better seats and great food for sure. As i was disappointed last time but this time they made up for it

You cancelled my flight and didn't arrange another. Sent no info except YOUR FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. HERES WHAT TO DO NEXT. and the rest of the email was blank???

Yes avoid JFK airport at all costs. A horror to navigate.

Airline left me stranded in the U.S. gave me an unrequested refund of 40% of booking and canceled my trip back! When I asked why, the said “we don’t have to tell you why”. “But you can rebook”. Never again! Paid 2x and rebooked on Austrian. What a joke!

Missed a connecting flight and SAS was at fault. I was awarded a $20 voucher in exchange for 8 hours of my time? Gfy.

The check in computers were difficult to use, we waited a long time to get off the flight and the food was terrible on the outgoing flight.
