The business class is excellent. I loved the food, and the crew was very attentive and professional. From boarding to arrival, everything felt smooth and well-organised.

Great service and comfort level. You can have more of vegetarian food options.

It’s great, long flight and arrive safe at destination

Everything was excellent as I expected. They also had a very caring crew. I had a headache and asked a Tylenol. The crew members kept checking with me how I was doing.

They were trying to get people to check luggage because the over head compartments were full but when we boarded there were lots of empty places that people could have put the luggage.

My second flight wasn't better than the first one. And this is 14 hours trip, crew came out only to offer food and the choices was poor. This food choices are good for Asian people but not for westerners. The breakfast kind thing was a corn sausage really disgusting. The air-conditioned blower really blow high and cold, turn out on my arrival to feel seek, that makes the trip uncomfortable. The crew didn't not really come out during the trip to offer drinks or snacks. No fruits available. Very poor service

The crew and my luggage was still pretty good after a long flight. They take good care of the luggage.

On time departure and exceptional customer service during the entire flight.

My flight was diverted to Atlanta and I was not given enough time. I paid my travel on April 23, 2023. It was originally Delta from Norfolk to NY, then Korean Air from NY all the way Philippines which is my final stop. Instead from Atlanta to Korea I flew Delta which is okay. Then Korea to Philippines, I flew Asiana Airlines. What I did not like, Ieagle did not sent me an email that my flight was change and so when I went to check in Wednesday the 10th, at 4:30 a.m they told me my flight was delayed at 6;00 p.m and diverted in Atlanta and I am flying Asiana from Korea to Philippines. I do not appreciate that Kayak or Ieagle chenge our flights 5 times and then last minute change again during my day of flight. I hope that you will not make any changes of my flight o Feb 15th because it has to be the same flight with my husband. That is the reason why we made the arrangements early on.

The airport is clean and updates for flight delayed and the luggage status is in a timely manner.

Courteous crew and effective service on-board. Good leg room. Areas for improvement: 1. Limited menu meal menu options. During checking there was no means provided to select meal option. On our return flight the first meal had Pork and Beef options only. Fortunately the second meal had Chicken as an option. Otherwise we would have gone without meal through 13+ hrs of journey, 2. Limited choice and very limited number of movies and TV shows.

I booked this airline twice. The first time, they cancelled the flight due to destination weather condition but without offering any optional flight but only a cancelation notice sent via SMS. I had no choice but to re-book United airline with the same travel date and destination. (no impact on the weather condition Air Premia claimed) The second time, my husband missed the flight due to local traffic in Seoul. Normally, all major airline would helped you to re-book the same flight next day with changing fee only. But Air Premia offered nothing and only requested my husband to re-book a full price ticket.

Don't splurge for the Premium Wide Economy. They compare it to business class. This is not business class, and the seats are very uncomfortable.

For the second meal, the different food choices ran out both times so we were only offered one.

The crews were friendly, professional and courteous. Checking in was easy and smooth. The best part is, as we all know, the price.

Food quality is poor. Flight attendants are very friendly and professional.

As it's a budget airline it's pretty basic. But the quality of crew and plane is excellent.

Maybe the reimbursement voucher should have been larger than a 10k won. That voucher is only for refreshments. The flight was delayed or pushed to more than 5 hours. It should be more than just 10k won and it was already past midnight. Some people or passengers like who was already there 5 hours prior to the original flight departure. 4pm** That was the only unfortunate thing about it . Other than that it was good .

5 hour delay, therefore, middle of the night arrival doesn’t help.

Check-in was an absolute disaster, taking more than an hour and half because they offered no online check-in and Kiosks were not available to use. In-flight entertainment was exclusively Korean media with a selection of only 5 or 6 movies to choose from. Korean television shows were also available. The food was lackluster. My chicken and tomatoes had 3 small pieces of chicken next to a mountain of soggy wedge potato fries. The seats were more comfortable than other airlines I’ve flown with and the staff aboard was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Food could be better it was okay. Entertainment seems dated it was something but in this day and age could be a lot better.

The aircraft was massive (A-380) and became crowded with 400+ passengers on board.

Coming back to America was a peaceful flight everyone and everything was perfect

Staff always with a smile and very helpful with my mom who has mobility issues.

The seats felt very small. We were supplied with pillows and blankets, which was nice. Lots of noise from the bathroom, plus exterior noise. Made it hard to hear the entertainment system, even using my own noise-cancelling headphones. The food was really bad. I generally request a vegetarian meal and one was supplied, but the pasta was cold and hard and there was nothing pleasant about it. Two meals were served on this flight; one was a repeat of the meal I had had on the flight immediately preceding this one, which was bad enough I didn't even try it. Drinks were very limited. All I wanted was water, and on a 10.5 hour flight, I was given 3 cups of about 3 ounces each.

We took business class, It was comfortable and I was able to sleep.

Great service. They could offer vegetarian food and do more to reduce waste.

Very comfortable seats, delicious meals, and friendly and helpful staff

The legroom in economy was better than other airlines. Since my legs are long, that means a lot. Also, the A380 from Los Angeles to Incheon gave passengers a smooth ride. Everything went smoothly from boarding to disembarkation in Incheon. I'd fly Asiana again!

seat is so tight other then that it was all right

WiFi was slow as compared to trip down. Maybe because it was a night flight and more people were using it?

Excellent except for the 2 screaming kids who wouldn’t stop crying and screaming for the entire flight but what are you going to do? The flight was early- good experience

Terrible service - they don’t want to be there and bad food. Entertainment system in economy from the 2000s

Boarding was a complete mess. The whole system went down. People got wrong seat for the first half an hour.

First time flying business class. Very comfortable for our long flight to Europe.

Flight was late to take off Plane broke down Had to move everyone to another plane Told we weren’t going to LGA but Newark Also told we would be taken to NY But United lied and we ended up at Newark at 2 in the morning Horrible experience. And the experience of trying to get compensation from United is just as bad. They could not care less about their passengers Never again!

There was no room in overhead bin to place our luggage despite we had tree seats. It means a lot of people had more than 1 carry on bags. When I asked a crew member to help she said that it was not her responsibility.

There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!

Wheelchair assistance was not complete. The person left me at the departure gate without informing the groundstaff of my requirements. I had to walk to the departure counter to ask for help to reach the plane door. The crew informed me that in future they were not allowed to help passengers like me, senior citizen and Wheelchair passenger with placing their carry on bags in the overhead compartments!

Very bumpy flight & the crew was not happy to be there

Delayed as usual with Air Canada. Checked the status of the fly online it said took off when the plain was still at the gate.

Extremely turbulent landing. Crew was friendly and plane comfortable. Airport and US pre clearance was understaffed

A sandwich and a drink would have been better thank a snack bar...

1 hour late No hot drinks No restroom in the back of the plane

I had wonderful wheelchair assistance through the Montreal airport onto the flight. Air Canada was excellent in this both at the Fredericton airport and the Montreal one where an attendant helped us through customs as well as transport and baggage security.

I had a very disappointing experience with customer service. I was suffering from a severe viral infection that included a rash and persistent cough, leaving me unable to even sit upright. Given the circumstances, I requested travel credits from Canada Air, explaining the potential health risk to others onboard. However, the airline showed no concern for my condition and stated they were not in a position to make decisions based on health considerations. Despite my illness, I received no support or flexibility. Ultimately, I chose to forgo my flight due to their lack of responsiveness. It’s unfortunate that airlines like this operate without prioritizing passenger health and safety.

Flight got delayed for no reason. And Air Canada was doing 3 boardings via the same gate. It was chaotic!

Friendly efficient crew, but plane had no way to charge phone. That is a near necessity with today’s travel where we carry out travel documents on our phones.

Registered my luggage at 5pm. Arrived at JFK at 1:00 am. Worst trip ever. Never again

Air Canada never runs on time. You’re lucky if your flight is not cancelled or diverted. Worst airline in the world for gas lighting its customers.
