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.

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.

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 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.

Amazing airline accommodations. The cabins were so great. The food was very good and the flight attendants were so nice. Made a 15 hour flight seem easy.

I paid extra for seating when first booking flight to be in a comfortable economy seat They still changed it to a middle seat regardless. When I asked for it to be changed back to aisle, they could only give me one at the back of the plane in the least comfortable seats.

Same as already mentioned. This was more comforting as I got my aisle seat for my knee.

The American/Hollywood movies in the entertainment system lack english subtitles, they tend to have only arabic subtitles. Coupled with the low quality airplane earphones and cabin noise, it sometimes is difficult to follow the movie dialogues.

For a short flight, Qatar Airways offers very good onboard service.

Excellent hard product, excellent staffs. Lousy app and website that can’t be trusted. App says I have to change my flight due to operational issues. Message was cryptic and misinformation. Have to contact my own travel agent to make sure flight wasn’t cancelled despite Turkish Airlines app and website both denied checking in. Went to airport and had no issues checking in and boarding passes issued.Frustrating and anxiety ridden 24 hours before flight time.

Excellent!! The flight had a chef onboard and each course was served separately from a gourmet cart. Haven’t had this experience for a long time for business.

Boarding was slow -- we ended up being late to take off. It was a packed flight, and there is no effort to board in any orderly fashion. The signage went up pretty late too, so figuring out where to go added to the chaos. The food disappointed me this flight with choices that were not totally to my liking.

Everything could be better.Call center is so bad.You can't fix anything with them.

I’m leaving it really bothered me. My bag did not come in on time and I had medication in that bag that needed to be in the refrigerator and I still throw it out. Are you going to buy things because it came so late

The food and drinks were good. Other than that airplane cabin and bathrooms were dirty and airplane was HOT.

I did not like 2 3 2seating. The food quality was declining. The appetizers were good. But the main course was limited and I had to send back my lamb chop which was too dry. The meal before landing was disappointing and not appetizing.

Very good. As expected. Have used their service several times. Highly recommend

Again the lounge boarding process were the only flaws. I was sitting comfortably in the overcrowded , under-catered business lounge at IST and got a notification in my phone that boarding had started. I rushed to the gate only to stand there an additional 5 minutes before boarding actually began. I could have enjoyed additional time in the lounge. At least they clearly separated business and economy classes in the boarding area so it wasn’t a total mob scene.

I paid for the seat and found out that the seat doesn't recline. The staff didn't help in arranging an alternative.

I need an upgrade to business class but they ask for bidding. Never mind...

Very poor service, will never travel through saudia airline also worst experience at jeddah airport, all the people act like very racist even we belong from a same religion but they don't have any humanity. Very big language barrier no one speak proper English so they don't understand us very poor service. I was traveling with family and with infant they give us very hard time. No one like to answer a question and there attitude is extremely no welcoming. Not recommended specifically jeddah airport and their services and staff. Will never take layover or any flight through jeddah. Thank you

Horrible, by all accounts. Delays, lack of communication, just horrible.

They destroyed my baby’s stroller and the seats was broken

It was a disaster. The crew was so rude and had no professionalism. She dropped something onto the floor, then took it from the floor and put it into the food tray. Also, when she got some spilling, she went straight to the toilet, got some tissue and started cleaning the food trolley

Economy seats are better than most other international airlines. Crew is nice, food is halal and pretty good. Seatback tv selection is ok, not great. Wifi is poor and crazy expensive, "free" messaging lasts 15 minutes and capped at 3mb, full flight plans are $50 USD and still very tightly data capped.

Riyadh to Dhaka was disaster! Passengers were standing the whole flight blocking ways for using restrooms. Bathrooms were extremely dirty. Food quality was very poor. Overall Riyadh to Dhaka was extremely poor and bad experience.

This booking was as a result of stolen identity and hacking my debit account. I reported it to my bank. The thief tried to book two flights, maybe more. Hopefully, Kayak will be able to block fraudulent bookings and charges better in the future.

Food could be better. Bread should be warm served with butter. Bread quality is bad and cold served.

Since it leaves at 2:00am you sleep through most of it.

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.

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

On this flight...fine. The one from India to Abu Dahbi, awful.

My inflight entertainment unit was not working. The chair compartments were broken. The suite door would not latch. Given the cost of the total ticket, I was extremely disappointed in the service. The flight crew was not very helpful.

7 hours is a very long flight - the crew was ever present and helpful. The cabin was comfortable - WiFi was a disaster as was the entire entertainment and flight info system. They could have helped passengers by explaining that the information available on our screens and our continued attempts to entertain ourselves with our phones would be in vain. Other than that - all was well! Very comfortable seats, amenities galore and lots of crew attention. They might have benefitted from more crew as very few served the premium and basic economy,

The boarding area was crowded with inadequate seating. Flight delayed which made it uncomfortable.

Terrible we had to wait out in the cold for transfer bus to take us to the plane. Once we finally got on the plane seat had no cushioning not comfortable at all. Food was overcooked and dried out. I was skipped over when they served drinks I had to call them back to give me a drink with my food. Overall terrible experience this time. I have used BA before and never experienced service like this before. If this keeps up I will look for other options

My experience on this flight was good. The seat I had had a lot of leg room, but it was so close to the aisle that the flight attendants kept bumping into my visual monitor connected to my seat to watch tv.

It was fine, but it cost me twice as much to return to Boston as it took me to get to Heathrow from Boston two weeks prior. I flew on Jet Blue over and it was half the cost of British Air.

Staff and comfort were great but first choice meal was unavailable even in row 21.

I have flown on British Airways, many many times and will continue to do so! Always the greatest service and staff!

Terrible. A 6 hour delay and no one could be bothered to communicate or help change routes to avoid unnecessary delays and frustration

App totally screwed me up trying to check in. Would not let me select a reasonable seat and therefore I was stuck in a totally uncomfortable seat for 7 hours. Will not take the chance again and use other airlines in future where no issue choosing seats
