Good could have been better. Emirates used to have really good food and lately it’s been sub par

Check in and check out procedures Check in and onboarding was delayed by interval of 15 minutes .. total delayed by 90 minutes Bags took more than 2 hours to come out at Bali airport .. a very big wait after a 30 hour flight Bags were delayed for a very big crowd … 2 flights came in and their passengers were out sooner than ours

Flight from USA to Dubai was comfortable. There is some serious miscommunication between the staff who does checkin and immigration staff in India. Air Suvidha rules are enforced here as a requirement by the Indian government and without it not allowed to board the flight. The Indian authorities don’t even bother to check it. Please update either side of aisle. Vegetarian food from Dubai to Bombay was not that great at all. It was cold and chewy. Dubai being a hub can provide better options. Staff is very good and took good care of passengers. Please appreciate their hard work.

Pros: "I had to pay two tickets for same flight from Islamabad to San Francisco and going from San Francisco to Islamabad it’s been cancel and I am fighting for my money back they don’t want to refund it"

Cons: "An airline not only with the best service but the best looking flight attendants. They genuinely smile"

Cons: "Food availability a minor challenge but crew handled it very nicely."

Pros: "Quick boarding, good choice of movies"

Cons: "Would have been nice to get offered beverages more often. Was hard to get water as much as I needed without disrupting my fellow seat mates."

Cons: "flight left very late. couldnt make up time on the way. had to struggle to make it to the connection."

Pros: "Brought me to liberty. The Kingdom of Thailand. Great Airline. Reasonable Price. Excellent treatment at Dubai international airport. TSA was also good at Liberty International Airport."

Cons: "Long boarding lines at Liberty International Airport."

Pros: "Plane was modern and more comfortable than most"

Cons: "I do understand that it was an overnight flight but the crew came around only during meals and at no other time did they check on us. I hit the call button and nobody came - call button just went off. I was in the middle next to a sleeping passenger and could not get up."

Departed 3 hours late. Missed connection and they rebooked the convention but didn’t announce that in the cabin. Crew seemed stressed. Polite but not friendly. Cabin service in economy didn’t offer the usual water, soft drinks, coffee or tea, only offered things for sale. Had a roasted veggie sandwich that sounded so good but it was shrink wrapped, with cold, soggy bread, and a minuscule amount of vegetables. It was awful.

Flight on an 80 passenger plane was overbooked by 10 people. Next and last flight also overbooked, so that I had to overnight in Seattle and catch a flight the following day. Although my ticket had been purchased from Air Canada, it had been purchased by a third party, so the airline refused to pay for my overnight hotel. The gate agent was polite and did her best to get me on, but she could not do the impossible.

Cons: "The flight was delayed by 3 hours making me late for the next two flights and ultimately costing me an entire day longer in transit. While I understand these things happen, Air Canada's response to me asking for help was abysmal. Ultimately, they didn't care and told me it was my problem. Sadly, one of the first people I talked to really did want to help and arranged flights that would have gotten me back on track but he was prevented from confirming the changes due to management. I will never fly with Air Canada ever again."

Pros: "Cancelled 30 minute flight up to Vancouver which reaulted in missed flight to Australia. Air Canada the refused to put us on another flight. Went round and round for 5 hours with Air Canada until they finally put us on 3 separate flights getting to our deatination almost 48 hours late.Horrible"

Cons: "Notify passengers if short flight has more than 20% chance of being cancelled. We could have easily driven to Vancouver. If flight is cancelled, then own up to it and put people on next flight."

Pros: "N/A"

Cons: "Boarding in the rain is definitely not a good experience! The flight delayed so long that some of us who had connecting flights had to run from gate to gate (including clearing Canada customs) within 20 mins. Last but not least, Taipei Taiwan should NOT be listed as China."

Pros: "Boarding was easy and efficient"

Cons: "We paid an extra $100 for each ticket for premium seating, supposed to be a step above the basic coach ticket with more leg room (my partner and I are 6'+), but our seats were no different than anyone else's. In fact, the seating chart the agent provided for selection when on the call to add this was not for this plane, as it turned out. We will be requesting a refund!"

Cons: "Unreliable flight, always late, not staff at the check in terminal"

Cons: "Food was mediocre, I’d expect a bit more for the price paid."

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "Took 3 hours to get our drinks. Completely out of inventory with food and snacks. Very hot on the plane . WiFi didn’t work/ they charged for headphones which i haven’t even heard of. My tray table was completely crooked , i had to place my drinks on my husbands table. Overall, just terrible."

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "I was unable to board because I didn't have an ETA - I was unaware of this requirement until check in. I was only transiting thru Canada - the ground staff were horrible."

Pros: "Trip from JFK to Wuhan was a pleasure unfortunately flying to China has great problems if you are Transit passenger as Iowa's continuing to Bangkok Bangkok"

Pros: "The crew was ok but the seat was not so good, the toilets are clean. The workers on check in were nice"

Pros: "TV was okay when it was working, however crew was not around when I needed help and it was no longer functioning the last 3 hours of the flight."

Cons: "Food wasn't great. Not many options. Nothing vegetarian, of course I brought my own food, however it wasn't anything hot."

Pros: "China Southern CZ657 SFOCAN on a 777-300ER. Seating configuration in economy is a comfortable 3-3-3. They use some memory foam-like material for the seat padding and it is very comfortable. The crew was professional and friendly throughout."

Cons: "The price for this trip was just under $500 roundtrip CNXSFO. The food was nothing to write home about but during the flight, they offer endless Cup of Noodles and finger sandwiches and the vegetarian ones are very tasty."

Pros: "The crew was really nice."

Cons: "The check-in process was a disaster. First we couldn't check-in online, so we couldn't choose our seats. When we arrived at the airport and asked to be seated together, they said there are no 3 seats together anymore. What's the point of traveling together with friends if we are seated far away?"

Pros: "Crew very friendly."

Cons: "There was no place for me to enter in dietary restrictions to get a special meal, so they were not prepared for a meal I could eat."

Cons: "Cabin crew doesn’t speak much English. Food isn’t great but what airplane food is?"

Pros: "Flight was on time, crew was very professional and worked hard to please the passengers in service and care. Food in business class was really good, and in fact, were generous portions. Surprisingly good choice of movies in entertainment."

Cons: "No sweeteners fondrinks like coffee, just sugar. I would really suggest to China Southern to stock sweeterners for passengers who don’t use sugar."

Pros: "The boarding was easy"

Cons: "My luggage was lost even when there was 4 hour layover. I have no clothes to wear."

Cons: "It’s a very long flight and I had the unfortunate luck of getting a broken entertainment unit."

Pros: "On first and off first"

Cons: "For paying for a business ticket and to be offered a bag of potato chips is unacceptable though I did have a few alcohol drinks. Seats were also well worn."

Pros: "Got to San Antonio finally"

Cons: "Not having maintenance issues on the same flight from the prior flight to our airport then having more maintenance issues prior to leaving."

Cons: "I missed my flight from Dallas to Houston because the flight from Frankfurt was late. However I appreciate the promptness with which Lufthansa customer rep attended to me and put me on another flight. Excellent."

Pros: "I was able to change my seat."

Cons: "Five hour delay, no entertainment, no food... A really poor experience."

Pros: "Staff found us two seats together. Food was good."

Cons: "Email telling us about pre airport arrival check in and seat selection."

Pros: "The crew was magnificent"

Cons: "Be nice to offer a glass of water to your clients!!"

Pros: "The crew in first class was amazing. Friendly and helpful."

Cons: "Vegetarian food on first."

Pros: "Seats are pretty comfortable - appreciate adjustable head rest, both side flaps and vertical movement. Staff very friendly, pilot communicated well."

Cons: "Staff to offer whole can of beverage."

Cons: "The delay was horrible and the captain said it was because they needed extra sleep. I found this offensive as i was trying to complete a very long trip and was exhausted."

Pros: "Not a whole lot."

Cons: "Everything. The flight was delayed by 4 hours. There was no food in first class. The luggage was put on an earlier flight ans delivered to a different gate. The person handling luggage in Gate A was rude. We had to go to the other gate at 1am to pickup our luggage."

Pros: "Dated entertainment on the inside televisions and some of the headphones and movies were hard to understand because of the audio quality. But the bottom line was I couldn’t find a cheaper flight for my trip and overall I look for savings and my airfare."

Cons: "Customer service from the flight crew was pretty dry, my biggest complaint though was that there was very much stagnant air quality and no ventilation at HC location like I am normally a custom on most other planes."

Cons: "China Eastern seems to be cutting corners in Business Class - cheap headphones, significantly reduced food quality, non-functional WiFi and cabin attendants with very limited English fluency."

Cons: "The food was really bad, with no good choices. And the staff were not friendly - most didn't speak English, but that wasn't a big deal for us"

Pros: "The flight delayed over 2 hours and there is no faculties to help my transferring. No one took care of my hospitality"

Pros: "Business class pod was excellent. Free WiFi"

Cons: "I could only use WiFi on one device. So choose preferred smartphone or tablet ahead of time."

Pros: "nothing. flight was delayed. i have connecting flight but then the plane left i had to stay in a hotel."

Cons: "it could be better if my connecting flight waited for me"

Pros: "good seat in business class. Outstanding crew."

Cons: "The food for dinner was tasteless, and the breakfast was incredibly greasy."

Pros: "OK"

Cons: "Ground service staff (not individual) in PVG showed poker face to customers not only to me."

Pros: "My screen on the first leg didn’t work too well. It would turn on and off on its own, but since it was an overnight flight and I was tired, I slept most of the way so didn’t complain. Just had to dim the screen for the times it would turn on automatically while I was trying to sleep. 2nd leg had"

Cons: "I understand it is a Chinese airline, but I wish there was more English spoken, or the flight attendants not assume everyone who is Asian understands Chinese, especially since the flights are international."

Cons: "Awful. No eng speaking staff. No check in line mamaged."
