Terrible plane small airbus good for a 1 hr trip I booked business as it is. A night flight and 4hrs trip it was an ordinary economy seat with no one next to me what a joke what a stupid decision to buy business

For the price of the ticket it's probably the best service in the world

Everything was great except food . It as okay not good not bad

Seats are too cramped, but that is a problem with every airline. I actually enjoyed the meal served.

Crammed like sardines into the middle of the middle 4 seat row for an 11 hour flight was a terrible experience. No attempt made to help passengers sleep by dimming lights or shutting window shades. Small mediocre meals. Not enough good movies/TV options. Hopefully we will never have to do this again.

Flight attendant served beverage to everyone during meal service and forgot about me. Had to call her several times until she realized it. Not a good service for a business class flight

The plane was good - on time! But can the stewardesses smile or actually be nice - not to bark the commands

Edelweiss is now Nickle&dimming, not even a complimentary wine on the intercontinental flight. Sitting space is the smallest I have ever seen.

I would recommend flying SWISS to anyone. Very impressed by the quality of food. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. They arranged a shuttle to help a group of passengers make connecting flights when there was a delay.

I have no complaints. The crew was attentive, pleasant and heloful

Turkish Airlines apparently no longer gives you 2 checked bags allowance on international flights, so that pleasure cost me $165 for my second suitcase at the airport. On top of that, they damaged that very suitcase, which happens to be a designer one and part of a set - ripped one of the four wheels right off.

Pretty standard for long haul international flying. Food was fine, tv/movie selection was great, wifi did not work at all, crew was pleasant enough.

Very poor service. Not friendly and special food ordered but not served

Very bad from ISTACC leg of flight specifically the seats. These seats are for economy not for Business class. I suppose when flying to a third world country you can fly any craft and no one questions it. I was very disappointed for that leg of the flight. This needs to change.

Was an excellent experience I have been flying Turkish Airlines for 5 years and always will

It was good. Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines companies. I like a lot to travel with them

Four of my family members was settled in a different seats. I paid extra $200 dollars for 4 seats just to be all together, but they settled us on separated seats. After a lots of time they put us 2 and 2. My kids are 9 and 13 . How i can leave them alone???

It is much better than other airlines but not the best for the price

I did not like the quality of the food and there was no snacks offered between meals.

Awful seats, poor air circulation. Smelled like poop for 3-5 mins after someone used the bathroom. Child screaming for 13 hours

Not enough room between rows and food was gross. $160 baggage charge?! Never again.

Waited for our plane from HNL so we didn't miss connection. AMAZING Service for that, then really clean plane. Nice airline attendants.

Excellent staff helping my 96 year old senior promptly with her oxygen needs

Basics were there, but a 5:15 flight with almost no food ans no entertainment, it is quite long.

Moody attendants that can barely look up at the passengers. I’m all for people having an off day, but you can tell some Untied Airlines Employees have lost their zeal for their jobs

Some of the issues with my UA flight to a connecting flight: United said the SF to Frankfurt flight was getting late making us miss 10:50 flight and could only put us on a flight that left at 4:15 PM from biz to coach. then they canceled the ticket on the connecting flight. I didn’t have a seat, etc., etc., and over an hour dealing with UNITED blaming Lufthansa and Lufthansa pointing to UNITED. The flight itself was fine (food sucked) and we landed in time that I could’ve made the 1050 flight. but the LH gate agent said I couldn’t get on because United issued the ticket and only they could change tix back. Gave up and wasted the next five hours plus of our vacation and ended up being totally wiped out by the time we reached the hotel.

Check-in was a little confusing. I paid for extra luggage, but when i checked in the system didnt seem to know. Arrived in Paris early after a late departure. Luggage arrived on the same flight with no apparent damage.

Flight was quite late as there was no pilot Crew is usually excellent, this flight not as good as usual there were more mistakes, slower and less friendly service But honestly the aircraft was too cramped and uncomfortable for a 4 hour flying get so, do to the aircraft liability the very best you could ever do is mediocre.

It was so uncomfortable for 14 straight hours it was torture

Absolute disaster. Rude, uncooperative staff. Staff ignores and pretends you don’t exist when you are asking them a question. Erroneous departure gate and baggage claim information. Equipment not working for purchase of drinks. Overly expensive baggage check-in fees. Overly crowded. Dirty airplane. Passengers coughing incessantly as if they were being gassed. Circled airport in flight several times and waited on the tarmac for 1.5 hours. The worst experience ever. Consider another industry. The travel industry is not for you.

LAX to Copenhagen was very nice…business class…great service and comfortable seats…great value…Copehagen to Barcelona…business class was normal coach seating…a little cramped…box meal….good service

Had recurring problems with the touch-screen entertainment system repeatedly making up inputs, resulting in the movies randomly jumping forward and backward. With the lack of proper controls, it was also difficult to get back to where the movie was up to. These phantom inputs were so comprehensive that the system even changed the language setting. Despite a schedule 6.25pm boarding time, it was announced in the Delta lounge at 6.15pm that boarding for the flight had started, so of course everything started to head down. While the gate continued to show a scheduled boarding of 6.25pm, it was 6.32pm before boarding actually started. No, not significantly different, and we ultimately ended up landing well before time (and landing time is arguably more important than exactly when boarding starts). Seat comfort was fine, although only a small nook for personal items, food was satisfying for me, and crew was pleasant.

Entertainment system caused delay. But order was restored within one-hour into the flight. Service was good.

I did not go. I rebooked my ticket. Despite that you keep sending me emails and now this survey about a trip that you should know by now did not happen. Very bad, impersonal customer service. Shows you have no idea what's going on with your customers and that you're just spamming with automated, careless communications

It was my wife and me traveling together. We purchased more expensive Economy Plus tickets, but the seat selection was not available, although this was the main reason for buying the more expensive tickets. When I called SAS, I was told that the seats could be selected once check-in is open, i.e., 30 hrs. before departure. On the inbound flight, I could check in only the first leg (Boston-Copenhagen) but the system would not allow me to check in for the connecting Copenhagen-Split flight. On the return flight, I was not able to check in and, therefore, select two seats together at all. I even received an email from the SAS stating that the check-in was open but when I attempted to do it, the system would not allow it. Trying to get help by calling SAS customer service was no help at all. Although there are signs at Boston Logan Airport implying that there is a Scandinavian Airlines lounge, there is not one. We were sent to Delta Priority Lounge where we were told that it is for business class passengers only, although the terms of Economy Plus state that the fare includes access to a lounge. The seats and the legroom were no different than standard economy cabin seats. On the flight to Copenhagen, my table was broken (not unfolding completely), so I had to hold the food tray with all the food in one hand while trying to eat with another. Overall, it was definitely not worth it paying for the Economy Plus tickets. Based on my overall experience, it is very unlikely that I will consider flying SAS in the future.

Flight delayed 3 hours 45 minutes. Connecting flight changed. Would have missed cruise ship. Had to cancel return flight, because we couldn't just cancel flight to Nice.

Pilot made us late 45 minutes with no explanation, missed our connection, they didn’t care

First off, numerous things were misrepresented. When we purchased the Economy Plus tickets the fare allegedly includes access to lounge. At Logan Airport where the signs points to, there is no longer SAS lounge. We were directed to Delta lounge, which is located at the other end of the terminal. When we got there, Delta reps told us that it is for SAS business class passengers only. The advertised seat selection 30 hrs prior to departure did not work online. When I called SAS, they told me that it was more than 30 hrs before our connecting flight in Copenhagen, although it was less than 30 hrs before the departure for Copenhagen. Customer service representatives would not provide any assistance. The tray table in my seat was not fully unfolding to be able to place the food tray on it. Therefore, I had to keep it on my laps.

Passengers need to be consistently told by the stewardesses to position their seats up from recline when eating. This is not something passengers should have to request. Common courtesy...

This is my fifth time flying with SAS and I love it

No fast track available, no organisation. Unpleasant boarding system at gate 20 at JFK. When giving feedback to the lounge team I was told to talk to the manager instead of taking the feedback.

The whole experience was great. The only improvement would be the entertainment selection

Flight attendant kept banging her cart into my aisle seat. Hard. Couldn’t lean seat back. Should be warned of limitations when booking seat

I will travel by BA only in future also. Only suggestion is they should give aisle seat in front near washroom for senior citizens

Economy extremely cramped. Dinner was not good. Breakfast was quite good. Crew was excellent.

It was good overall. Entertainment was ok, one of the TV screens had issue. Bit old plane but leg space was good. Overhead luggage had good space. The worst part was experience at Heathrow airport, it was total chaos.

Comfortable, pleasant staff, quiet, good entertainment, food, drinks. Better than American (flight back) when we were crammed in and staff sometimes indifferent.

I was disappointed with the quality of the food and the fact that I was not given a toiletry bag for an overnight international flight

Food made us sick for the rest of the day. Terrible passenger in front of me kept reclining and banging his seat, it hurt my knee multiple times. I kindly asked the attendant to intervene, she would not. Way too many sick people coughing on the flight without wearing a mask. Sick passengers should not be allowed to fly unless they wear a mask. I hope we don't get sick for our 2 week vacation

Tv screen didn’t work asked twice and never got an answer. 10 1/2 hrs no entertainment screen
