Great food on both legs and fast customer service from the stewardesses....

Overall was good but it would be good if the airline is providing snack such as sandwich or instant noodle between meals for LA to Taipei

Premium Economy seats were more comfortable than other airlines I have recently been on. Great staff. Food was unremarkable.

We were very impressed with the modern plane its amenities, as well as the services of flight attendants.

The crew very accommodating and food too is good. Keep up the good work

Very good service and food. Crew was professional and considerate. Cabin and restrooms were kept clean

The food from Los Angeles to Taipei made me throw up. The flight is also not comfort. But the staffs are very friendly and nice.

I was sleep when they brought the food. They had put a note on my seat. There was no food when I asked for food later. There was just one main meal served in this 14 hours flight. They offered me sandwich with ham which I don’t eat since I am pescatarian. Long story short I had to wait to get to TPE to get something to eat. I am extremely disappointed from the service. I have been flying EVA since I was 1 year old. Perhaps no more EVA for me. Seems EVA glorious day is long gone

The app was awful. No accurate info. Paying for internet is a negative (Delta is free). The crew was very nice for the most part although you are not guaranteed to get good service. Some crew would ignore requests for things as simple as a cup of water if you were sleeping when the first serving was made. Food was great. Male crew member was exceptionally kind and responsive.

It was a good flight. I would highly recommend it to family and friends.

They cancelled the 6am flight around 12:30 AM the day before. I was luckily able to book through another airline. I called for a one way fare refund, the new flight is much more expensive. I lost $$$ in the difference and this caused lots of stress. I intend to take action following my trip, really off to a bad start and I will never fly Alaskan again

The gate agents begged us to check our carryons. They BEGGED us, over and over, and said that the flight was completely, totally full, and said that if we don't check our bags, it will cause huge delays. They finally said that "group suchandsuch will be required to check bags!" So I checked mine. Well, the flight wasn't close to being full, and many of the overhead compartments were *empty*! Moreover, my bag was delayed at the carousel, and it wasn't on the carousel that was posted. COME ON, AIRLINE, you can look at the seating for the flight on your computer and decide whether it's really necessary to beg and beg and beg people to go through the hassle of checking their bags! This is annoying as hell and makes me not want to use your crummy airline ever again.

My only complaint was how far it was from plane to baggage claim

SBP to PDX 2/17/2026. One person ahead of us at the counter. One ahead of is at TSA. First to board. First row, first class. First to be served. Food and service very good. First off the aircraft. Flight was nice other than some moderately hard bumps on climb out (please find a way to control that!). Air Force landing (none of that Navy slam you to the deck stuff). Wheel chair at the bottom of the ramp waiting for my wife. Luggage out quickly, walked right up to the parking shuttle bus. First stop on the bus. I like the EMB 175 aircraft. This was as close to a perfect flight as I will ever see. Bravo!

They changed our flight from a one stop 3 hour layover to a non-stop. Saved us hours and got us there sooner.

Departing flight to San Diego was delayed. Return flight from SD to SBP was delayed. Not terrible but not ideal

The flight was delayed for an hour, while we sat in the plane.

Flight was initially delayed 1 hour, but said come to gate at scheduled time in case plane shows early. Then the flight was delayed several times over for a total of 3.5 hrs for 1.5hr flight. The only compensation was $12 to get a water and some chips. Cant seem to fly anymore without some issue.

No prob with entertainment-would have selected n/a if it had been an option. No entertainment-flight was only a short hop. Great flight,

It was adequate nothing special no entertain because flight was short. Crew pleasant.

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

No charging outlets worked. Other than collecting trash attendants didn’t come around. No one could hear flight attendants announcements during the flight. Seat pads were horrible. Sitting on a board for 5 hours. What happened to Hawaiian airlines comfort, hospitality, and extras? Our pilots did an excellent job trying to minimize turbulence and incredible job in landing in windy conditions.

I like that if they asked you to checked in a bag at the gate they give you priority to board

I received several emails about my 3:10 flight. When I showed up to the airport at 12:30 to check my bags I was told the flight was actually at 1 pm. They grudgingly rebooked me for a flight at 5:22 to Vegas to get a connecting to LAX. I did find the gate for my original 3:10 flight but they were booked. I proceeded to receive status updates and gate change information for the 3:10 flight, even though I was apparently never supposed to be on that flight

The food options were limited and very specific. Some type of entertainment option for a 4.5 hour flight would have been nice.

The Kayak confirmation number did not work for checking in the day before. I checked in at 8.30 using my ticket number. When I arrived at the airport, I was informed that the flight was overbooked, and since I had checked in late, I did not have a seat. The Next flight was not until ten PM. I called my wife, who had been taking care of our kids all weekend, and she was upset, calling me a liar and telling me to stay in SD. It turned my weekend getaway into a nightmare! I blame the Kayak website and will not book flights using your app in the future.

comfortable but the food is horrible. I have flown Hawaiian several times now and no matter what they say the food is its the same squashed bread with melted goop inside. Tastes fake and isnt what they represent, its quite nasty. What happend to real food? And there is NO entertainment!! so not sure why they are asking for a review on that.

Good and friendly staff. Nicely enjoyed the complimentary drink and snack.

I was very, very cold and a stranger loaned me her sweater next to me. I didn’t wanna buy a blanket just for a four hour trip when I did not need the pillow or the earphones. I don’t mind purchasing a blanket, but I only needed that not all of it accessories. Cold air pretty much blew the entire trip. Two people in front of me both bought the blanket packages. Maybe that’s the idea. The crew was exceptionally nice and passed through multiple times.. the restrooms were very clean and usually accessible.

Maria and her partner In SLO are phenomal! Great customer service!

The back to back mechanical delays from Denver to San Diego and then on my return flight from Denver to Great Falls it added extra time both ways

The pilot was late so we didn’t take off til almost 2 hours late.

Flight was late, the only reason I almost missed my flight was that my connection was also late.

Baggage claim signs were not updated with my flight information, so I had to guess. The app wasn't updated either.

It was a short, comfortable flight. It did leave an hour late due to the pilot having to be replaced (family emergency) but that didn’t inconvenience myself & my friend. The situation was explained, eventually.

The seats were very uncomfortable. I paid for the front economy. i swear they added a row of seats in there. It was so tight, that I could measure the distance between my seat and the one in front from my elbow to the tips of my fingers plus six inches. The seat cushion was completely worn out. The dinner was very good. Thank you for having a vegetarian option as a standard. But breakfast was nothing but sugar. that's not food. The crew was crabby and rude, especially in regards to coming to the back gallery. And the entertainment choice: why would you put violent movies on the choice? the Godfather? Some movies with black women being beaten over the head with clubs? What the heck? You know that when there is a movie on a plane, everyone gets to watch it. Why choose the most violent titles possible? The total number of movies were very limited, and the television, even more so. No games were available on the set. The wellness section was nice, thank you. I appreciated a galley in the middle where I could stand. The seats were unbearable.

UA594 was delayed multiple times. I ended up getting picked up so I can make it in time for work 6AM on Monday, 7/6/2026

Boarded from a very small gate at LAX. Staff at gate had us line up, then waited 25 minutes to board without a word of explanation. Plane arrived on time then waited 20 minutes for a plane to vacate our gate. Majority of bags arrived after 15 minutes but it took an hour for a small number of remaining bags to be off-loaded despite my “priority” bag tag.

Excellent communication from the staff. We actually arrived early. Very friendly and professional staff.

Boarding took a long time for a couple of flights. We arrived at our final destination an hour late. Others missed their connecting flight. We had no time to eat between flights. My checked in bag was delayed because it was in another flight. At least they gave us a voucher because of that. The staff was very kind.

Our experience with American Airlines was extremely disappointing and honestly made an already exhausting international journey much worse. After flying all the way from Melbourne and dealing with significant jet lag, the American Airlines experience at LAX was the last thing we needed. The terminal and boarding area felt very old and uncomfortable, with little to no air conditioning and only old fans running in the area. Boarding was also through outdoor stairs rather than a jet bridge, which felt especially inconvenient after such a long journey. Even though we were traveling First Class, the onboard experience was surprisingly poor. There were no meaningful snack options, no decent coffee available to order, and the aircraft was so small that there was barely enough overhead space for carry-on luggage. The staff experience was also disappointing and lacked the warmth or attentiveness we had experienced on our international flights. To make matters worse, the flight departed late, extending an already very long travel day. Overall, the combination of the outdated terminal, uncomfortable boarding process, limited First Class service, small aircraft, poor staff experience, and delay made this an extremely unpleasant final leg of our journey. It significantly worsened our exhaustion and jet lag rather than making the connection home easier. Unfortunately, this experience was bad enough that I do not plan to travel with American Airlines again in the future.

I was so hungry. No meals. Staff very nice. Seat arms armed too tight and didn’t go up. I was scheduled for First class, but was put on Standby, even though I made my reservation a while ago. Thank you.

Gate 461 the worst in LAX Boarding lacks professionalism And as usual, your food sucks.

With a 24 hour delay, the Flight stared off rough. They had a nationwide IT Outage but communications to Passengers was very bad. Ground Staff and Ticket Agents were extremely rude and unhelpful. Perhaps they should take ground training from DL or Qatar. The food was horrible. Seafood was mixed with Bacon. Those two don’t have any space for Jewish or Muslim Faith Customers. The Airline needs new management.

Flight attendant made the flight very enjoyable. He was courteous and gave great care to the passengers

My seat had a worn out cushion, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the flight was excellent.

American was the airline that Starlux contracted for this trip. I arrived in time to make the connecting flight on American, and then the baggage-handler debacle happened. For some reason, the first class and premium economy passengers' luggage was unloaded first. Never seen this happen before. They had handlers removing the bags from the carousel for those passengers. Meanwhile, all of the economy passengers were waiting for their bags, including me. And there were a lot of bags because it was an international flight packed full. While waiting for 45 minutes, my bag didn't show. Meanwhile, an American representative showed up asking if anyone has a connecting flight to Phoenix. Of course I spoke up, and they proceeded to try to find my bag because I had to take a bus to the actual terminal to catch my flight. Which I was not informed of before I arrived. After another 15 minutes of searching, my bag was finally found with the first-class passengers' bags because they had pulled it by mistake. So I rushed to the terminal with the American representative to catch my flight, and they informed me that I missed it and could not get another flight until the next day. Of course, after being on an international flight for 18 hours, I was in no mood to hear this. Now, to be fair, there were a few American employees who tried to help me. After hearing about the missed flight, they got a supervisor to talk to. I expressed my situation to the supervisor, and she was not helpful until I asked for compensation. She agreed to get me a hotel room for the night. So I agreed, and she disappeared into her office, and I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. While waiting, I was asked by three different employees who knew of my situation if I had been helped. I told them I was waiting for the supervisor to get the hotel room, and they said they would check. Finally, after waiting for 75 minutes, one of the employees who had asked me if I had been helped arrived with my hotel room and arranged a ride to the hotel for me. Never saw the supervisor again. It was now 8 o'clock; I arrived at 5:45! My rebooked fight was scheduled for 6:11 this morning and I have now been informed it has been delayed until 10:00. So am I happy with American? NO I'M NOT!! ;

4 hours late, including over +1 hour waiting in plane to take off. Baggage left behind too.

Do a bit better with n first class offer some real food and pillows

It was Christmas and the crew was awesome. And the passengers were patient.
