I lost my lock from my luggage, I don’t know someone took something from my bag.

I lost my lock from my luggage, I don’t know someone took something from my bag.

Except for the uncleaned tray, and the delay in serving food for our section (which may have been due to the location of our row) everything else was good. The crew were very professional and responded to our requests promptly throughout the flight. We as a family were not disappointed by Emirates.

It was great, a little more leg room would have been better particularly since we were in premium economy

The boarding process was smooth and the stewardesses were nice. Some delays with drinks at the end of the flight, but no issues.

Thay crew was so nice.Air hostess il ham was so nice.my mom was little scray with airplan turbulence she help us alot.

Seat 💺 was all the way on last row. Food was okay .

Charged for internet that never really worked. The food selection was just ok.

Boarding, seats, entertainment and service were all great. Food was great except for the fact that there were too many sweet items.

The entire crew went above and beyond. This was our first flight with our 3 month old, and they were accommodating and friendly. The crew is attentive and marks a HIGE difference to the regular runs with Avianca and LATAM.

Business class on this plane was adequate, service, amenities, swag, and crew was amazing!

Despite the booked seats in front of the land we were moved to the back of the plane even first like 8 lines were totally without pasangers. When I tried to sit on empty seat flight attendant asked me to go to my dedicated seat in the fully crowded back of the plane. She was not able to explain why. Food was very poor on flight LAX - VIE.

We had a wonderful experience overall. The only issue was check-in our luggage at the Split Airport counter. It was very confusing because we needed to pay for baggage.

Austrian Airlines help and service was fine, but Kayak misled us into believing we had purchased a Business Class ticket. In fact, the tickets were only upgraded Coach Class tickets with luggage restrictions that belonged to the Coach Class. Very disappointed! Paid over $$$$ 9K for the two tickets. Very disappointing!

Quick and organized boarding process, friendly staff but not as many snacks and drinks as the previous flight overnight

Landing was a little hard. Food was not great My prior review was for the flight to nyc too

Five star experience all around except for my seat, which was broken. It would only go down 70%.Of the way. It defeats the purpose of buying a business class ticket if you don’t actually get to lay flat..

I love this airline.God bless CAO and the whole staff of this company

Great staff, efficient and knowledgeable. Very helpful with others and considerate towards those with children

WiFi would have been nice and some more powerful usb ports, available ports could not keep my phone’s charge much less charge the phone.

Not so good. I paid for a preference economic seat, and I couldn’t incline it back because it was blocked. They explained me that because is the last before emergency exit. The company new that but it was not explained in the seat selection

I was travelling 3.5 years after. Agree Economy is no business class but the food was mediocre. Ordered a Hindu meal, the salads were bitter . The food was really below quality and had no tast from what I had in the past. Indian Railways probably have a better quality food when compared. However the kids meal was really nice and really appreciate how they were taken care of. The restrooms were dirty .

My flight was with American Airlines 120. The flight was delayed 3 hours and I missed my connection. When I arrived in Doha, the AA staff told me to call an 800 number to rebook a different flight, which was unacceptable. Eventually a Qatar Air staff member helped rebook me on a flight to Manila, that was 12 hours later. They offered me a hotel and meal voucher which I declined, because I didn’t want to leave the airport. Long story short, I spent 12 hours in the Doha airport waiting for my next flight.

Overall the experience was neat with crew being nice and caring especially to parent with kids. The free snacks option was okay. The kiosk at Philly airport didn’t work.

Reason for travelling Tampa to Orlando is to fly Qatar Airline. we end up with American Airline. This was the miserable experience I ever had in my entire travel history. Flight attendants were rude. They hit my knee with the food cart and I was holding ice pack for 2 hours. I still have the pain after a week. WE boarded the flight twice because of the temperature inside the plan.

First keep the airline as you promise. Reason for travelling from Orlando to Tampa is to go with Qatar Airline. We end up with American Airline. As expected the service was horrible.

Not sure how we end up with American Airlines instead of Qatar Airways. From Philadelphia to Qatar they boarded us then they asked us to unload. After 30 minutes later they board us again. The inside the plane it was burning hot and we were sweating like crazy. Crew members are absolute rude. The way they served the passengers were horrible. One of the crew members hit my knee with food cart and kept going. I was holding an ice pack for almost 2 hours. I am still with the pain.

I felt that when I was rerouted it should have been to business class.

The flight was smooth Thank God but the delays and changing gates for 3-4 times made me so tired of walking back and forth with heavy bags I thought I was going to pass out with heavy headaches but Thank God finally found the final gate and home safe. These delays happen anytime for important reasons so just be patient when you come across these situations.

This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.

All the crew members were too slow and rude. Most of the times the registers were empty, while hundreds of customers were waiting in line, and it was impossible to get a supervisor. Despite being in line on time, I missed my freight, plus a some customers who were ahead and behind me.

The crew were very hospitable and pleasant. The food was pretty good. Unfortunately, there was a flight delay of more than 2 hours. We're not sure why but it appeared to be outside the control of Turkish Airlines.

Bough tickets with luggage, but made me pay at Airport as well

The economy seat was so uncomfortable, had not enough leg room for 13 hours flight, front seat basket was broken and couldn’t hold anything, food quality was horrible( we got food poisoned ) we charged for logged which used to be free. We paid too much for this flight and very disappointed. Turkish air line better to make satisfy and respect people instead of find different way to scam people.

This is really the rating of two flights. JFK to IST then IST to NQZ. New York to Istanbul was good. Good crew and all positives. The flight to Astana was so bad that brought it all down. Crew was nonexistent above the minimum, seats were cramped, and it was hot on the plane. Turkish Airlines seems to be slipping down to US based carriers level.

The 2 agents on the check in counter were super nice , helpful and very polite. Boarding was like a 1 2 3, I would recommend Turkish airlines for your next trip.

Everything was very good, except that the plane was an hour and a half late

flight with heavy turbulence old boeing 777 rest wasnt clean dashboard doesn’t work

Light and recline did not work on my seat. Very uncomfortable and could not read in the dark

Bad experience; they are not good anymore. They charge too much for luggage seat are so uncomfortable, Flight delays which may miss your next flight, they don’t care if you miss the flight or not. Zero customer services for front desk representatives Istanbul's airport I’m not using this airline any more.

I’ve been traveling for 20 years. I tried Turkish airline for the first time horrible horrible service and it would be my last time even if I get offer for a free ticket, I will not accept it. They have races and the worst Flight attendant

Excellent service all around thank you Royal Jordanian crew for the attention you have given us

I like the boarding on time , I like the respect from the male flight attendant but the female attendant could be better. Didn’t like the food

Very good and good customer service and seats very comfortable

Short handed at the check in counter. There was only one person and so many people waiting

Plane is old and dirty. My recliner wasn’t working and I was in business class. And my entertainment kept freezing up Plane needs serviced and better maintained. And you may need to teach the crew a little customer service.

Staff were rude! Chairs are incredibly small! Comfort was minimal and food wasn’t edible.

It was a very stressful trip for me and my husband, main reason for the discomfort, kids behind our seat kept kicking the seat behind , screaming all the time of the flight , the seat in front of us has a kid with autism and a young sister with the dad , a nonstop all the 12h hours flight screening jumping overhead, stuff in his hand almost dropped on us and we have to be on alert for any move, I do understand that there will be kids but the thing is no one of the staff even bother to came near the seat and find solution , I believe there has to be a way to seat family with kids ,I’m a person who travel long distance almost every year and I used to take mostly air Canada, Lufthansa,British airways. I figured to use Royal Jordanian this time but it looks it wasn’t the right choice for us and I hope we don’t have to deal the same on our way back.

The flight was fine. There were a lot of babies and toddlers that did not do well on a 12pm flight that lasted for 13 hours. Some were awake and cranky all through nap time and bed time. I don’t understand why Royal Jordanian does not have WiFi on its planes, even for a fee.

Not reserving the bassinet seats for babies who need it. Baggage allowance isn't good. Food quality very poor.

Not so good. Within 24hrs of departure, I checked the seat map and 6E, 6F were available. So i selected them. After reaching the airport, the staff said that those seats were taken away by someone. I told how could that be possible since the seats were taken away by me. But she insisted that someone paid for those seats. I disagreed because the seats were assigned to me. So she assigned us seats all the way down. When we boarded and plane took off, those 2 seats were vacant throughout the journey. To add salt to the wound, one of my bags went missing. I was left with only 1 pair of clothes which was in my carryon bag. After so many followup calls, my bag was returned on the 4th day. I don't recommend Royal Jordanians to anyone.
