Find Cheap Flights from Sydney Kingsford Smith to San Francisco (SYD - SFO)

plane was new and clean short destination fly was good

The woman who checked us in helped us a ton by getting our seats switched to be near each other for both this flight and the following flight from nadi to LA. She was great. Most helpful person I came acrossl.

Great entertainment

Beautiful air plane Nice flight assistants

The security person was incorrect about my Lithium battery causing me 45 minutes at the security check. I was also disappointed that even a coke needed to be paid for extra.

Very little good things to say besides it was a new plane

They had one of four meal options left by the time they got to me, a platinum member. The seat also would not recline to 180 degrees

Nothing.

United should have known the Sydney plane was overloaded with cargo and passages and took action before having passagers on board. I missed my UA connecting flight by 3 min. United should have provided support to connect to my next flight. They rebooked to another one 6 hours later even though they have flights leaving every 2 hours to Las Vegas.

The service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!

Not much

We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.

on time

very rough ride

No any explanation to delayed about 2 hours that resulted in missing the connected flight for more than 10 hours.

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

The airline attendants were very friendly.

We had a free movie on a 3.5 hour flight but not on the 6 and 9 hour flights. It's time to step it up for long haul flights!

The boarding was fine and the flight did not feel unreasonably crowded as some international flights can feel.

The food was really quite bad. Also, the entertainment devices are out of date (double-pronged headphone jack, slow-functioning controls), but function decently enough.

Cabin crew was efficient and friendly. In general, your baggage policy is horrible. Only airline I'm familiar with that only allows one checked bag?? I believe your aircraft baggage capacity is equal to any other aircraft of the same model so why the one bag limit. The landing in Nadi was horrible. The plane hit so hard on landing that it bounced up and hit hard again. Everyone was scared and holding tight to the seat in front of them. What was equally disturbing was that neither the pilot or co-pilot ever came on the speaker and said ANYTHING! No explanation, apology or anything-complete silence.

This was very unprofessional and makes me wonder what was going on in the cockpit? Seemed to take an in ordinarily long time to clear food trays after the meal. They were offering seconds on beverages before they had even cleared the trays.

Service

Long time to load luggage. 45 min late

The Qantas agent controlling access to the International Terminal from the Domestic Terminal in Sydney was the best I have ever encountered. Not only did he unravel a very complicated situation created by United, he helped get cell phone to the connecting flight after I left it on first flight. Service on the flight was good and better in Economy than Business First on United.

Price we paid was excellent.

It was just my wife and myself and we didn't even get to seat together. They want extra for being able to select your seat in advance. Food was terrible. Seats recline probably 2" at the top of the backrest so no comfort there at all.

Tim Tams! Great in-flight entertainment system. Very friendly crew. Over 12-hour flight, but went by quickly.

Burger slider / hot dog "roller" was not good. That middle "snack" meal on a long flight is never any good, frankly. The eggs at breakfast were pretty bad too, probably inevitably.

We had a whole row of 4 seats to ourselves. There were almost TOO many movies to choose from, but a great variety of current, arthouse, and classic films.

Breakfast fruit options was practically frozen

If ever fly to Canada again will go direct via Air Canda - Sydney to Vancouver and avoid USA immigration which took 2 hrs to get through
