My wife and I liked everything except the cold breakfast
My wife and I liked almost everything about ANA except for the economy seat space and the cold breakfast (croissant which seemed to just come out of the fridge)
The overall experience was ok, though there was certainly room for improvement. My husband was asked to check his carry-on bag at the gate due to claims that the flight was “full.” However, upon boarding, we observed ample overhead space and several empty rows of seats. This made the request appear unnecessary and caused some discomfort, particularly as he was the only passenger singled out for this procedure.
Excellent service and comfortable seats. Friendly and helpful staff. No food for a 3hr flight over lunch time which was surprising (or is that a feature of domestic flights in Japan?)
When booking the flight i picked it because it said flying with ana even on our e-ticket as well but I showed up to the airport and I flew with united. I have flew with both airlines before and I prefer ana for the food quality and comfortable. So I was disappointed in that outcome and felt the food gave me minor ibs. The whole thing was missing leading with not getting what I thought I was paying for. Felt a bait and switched. Do not have confidence in using this app in the future trips
The flight was smooth, but there were not enough options for meals and I was given beef when I do not eat beef. The flight going was much better because we received more snacks.
This was a large plane with an upper deck. It seems like business was upstairs. If it was a US airline then I would say I sat in economy plus, but I think it was just economy. Though since ANA would not allow me to choose seats for the price it may have been plus. Lots of movies to choose from, and good service.
Thankful for the staff who provided blankets cause the plane was quite cold and no way to adjust the airflow in the seats next to the bathroom.
This was the best airline I’ve ever taken. The staff are amazing. The food was great. The pilot was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this airline.
Uh there was a delay, because of the weather. And what took usually an hour flight to Louisville took about 6+ hours. Flight got canceled
The seats are very uncomfortable just was not a pleasant experience
my flight was cancelled an hour before departure and i have not received a refund yet.
A child behind me was kicking my seat and the cabin attendant noticed and kindly asked me if I’d like to switch to a different available seat. Really nice.
The flight crew was very nice. Had a bit of a hiccup on my end when I checked in flying from Tokyo to Sapporo but the staff was very helpful. Definitely enjoyed both flights.
There was no social distancing on the plane. Lots of people sneezing, etc so the coronavirus measures they are taking are not adequate. Very uncomfortable flight. Also hard to get customer service support by phone in English.
Pros: "I did not use this flight"
Cons: "This flight was one of my flights going back to LA from Japan. But They canceled the flight suddenly and so my whole trip was cancelled without notifications and booked me on other flights (which was scheduled 2days later) but I didn’t receive any call or emails or anything. I bought this tickets through KAYAK (budget air) and Even kayak (budget air)did not send any emails or notifications. Budget air account page showed I didn’t have any flights in the future and that was really confusing. I noticed this cancellation on the day I was supposed to leave. I actually think notifying customers regarding flight cancellation or changes was KAYAK’s (budget air) responsibility because I bout tickets through them and they knew the flight changes. I found out the flight operating by Jet star was cancelled by myself and called customer center. Jetstar customer Center call charges expensive but always busy and they make you wait so long with charging. I was able to manage my trip eventually but this experience was very frustrating. the airflight company and this KAYAK should work more cooperatively for customers."
Pros: "Ticket price was cheap."
Cons: "Offer same price for check-in luggage at counter as when booking. Super long lines to check in, open service desk earlier."
Quite ordinary, as might be expected of a budget flight. It was difficult to understand the instructions unless one speaks Japanese, and the seats were quite basic.
Very easy process overall. The staff communicated well and everything was efficient.
Very affordable, smooth check in process, flight attendants were safe and kind, lots of flight availability within Japan.
The seat is so bad Can’t recline the chair
For Travelers with babies, if they can be supported by allowing to carry the Baby stroller upto the Airplane gate, and not submit at the Check-In counter. it will be very convenient. Thankyou.
I didn’t even fly on it can I get my refund
The only two things to like were the price and the actual flight crew. Other than that, there is nothing positive to report above making it to my destination safely, yet later than scheduled or reported by the system. The Spring website doesn't work. I was repeatedly advised to check in online. That's impossible. None of the web functions work. I couldn't check in, pick a seat, purchase checked baggage. The phone numbers don't work. I tried every number I could find and was never able to even connect. I tried calling from my US phone and from my wife's Chinese phone. So I knew I would have to pay whatever they said for my baggage. On arrival to the airport, (HRB international terminal is a mess and also poorly run), the staff charged over $150 usd for my luggage. The luggage requirements on the web site are confusing and not close at all to industry standards. They blur the line between "Spring Air" and "Spring Japan". Kayak lists it as Spring Japan, the web site only delineates between Spring Air Domestic, Spring Air International, and Spring Japan, but doesn't make clear whether an international flight to Japan would be on Spring Japan. After checking the 1 suitcase, which took a long time for the attendant to even figure out how to do, I was told later that my carry on was too much and then there was a communication problem and I finally told them (interpreted through my Chinese wife) that I didn't mind paying for 2 bags, but I had to rearrange because I had batteries in the carry on which arent allowed to be checked. That requires the attendant to refund my first payment and te-cjexk both suitcases. She so forgot to give me the bag ticket and came to find me later. I was then motioned to go upstairs to the security screening without my wife accompanying to help translate. Then while about to be frisked, the attendant came to ask me to look inside one of the suitcases. So I went back to the check in a 3rd time to literally show them a flashlight in my suitcase. After all that, I made the tedious path through screening, & immigration. The gate wasarked for my flight. But when boarding time passes, nothing happened. None of the announcements were in English. At some point, they announced something and half the people near that gate got in line, but it wasn't moving. Some people were eventually going up and asking. I did and it turns out there was another flight to Korea link g up at the same gate, unmarked by the board. So I had to guess when that line was finished and my tokyo ight boarding finally started. My flight was scheduled to depart at 10:35am. The line for the boarding didnt even occur until 10:49am. But the Kayak app was reporting the flight as only 10 minutes late. We probably took off at 11:30am or so. I don't believe the plane wasn't ready. They were just having difficulty organizing the crowds into the trams that transport the passengers to the tarmac. The flight was mainly done because it seemed to only be about half booked. So there were many empty seats which helped. But then I find out that the flight crew will only accept Chinese or Japanese CASH for food, beverages, and snacks...even WATER. If I had known prior, my wife had Yuan cash but it is never used in China so I didn't have any. This airline is horrible and I should have paid for a better flight but it was the only one that got my plans very well. My wife later told me that it was well known to be a poorly run airline, but she didn't realize that's who I booked. I didn't interact with the crew much, so nothing to complain about there. The check in staff were nice, but somewhat incompetent. Never again.
