New plane,comfortable seats, modern entertainment

Ethiopian Airlines check in staff made a pigs-ear of my check in process. First they claimed I'd missed the flight (my ticket said 2335 on 15 Dec, they changed flight to 0010 on 16 Dec, but claimed that as my ticket was for 15 Dec my booking was invalid). They proceeded to re-issue me with a new ticket a (for the 0010 fight on 16 Dec), but then also tried to change my connecting flights by one day - even though they should remain the same (in effect the flight was only put back by 35 minutes, so why change a booking for connecting flight by 24 hours?). Fortunately on arrival in Shanghai, air china check me onto the correct flight. However, to compound matters, my luggage has gone missing and, bizarrely, Ethiopian airlines issued all foreign passengers with landing cards for Japan - not China!

Food was better than most. The crew was nice. The flight departed promptly.

The touch screen didn't work, and the bar below the chair that one can step on couldn't hold itself up, and I constantly had to reposition it. The audio port of the seat next to me didn't work either. The plane definitely needs a renovation.

Nothing

I couldn't sit next to my partner even though we booked under one booking and I didn't get a meal when everyone else did.

Much improved from the 'old' Qantas. Crew friendly and attentive.

Boarding at Sydney a little messy. Only one attendant at gate. Longest queue ever.

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.

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.

Good house of entertainment and food was good for a short flight!

Nothing that stood out overall a good flight but I've had better.

Tempting fare for a long haul flight. Luckily they had new air craft 787 on this sector.

Bad food.

China Southern's economy seats are spacious for legroom and seat width and the entertainment system is well stocked with movies/TV shows/music. Some entertainment systems will also com with a USB port to charge your device (if it's allowed to be used). All seats come with pillow and blanket to keep you warm throughout the flight.

Any mobile devices that can be used as a cell phone are not allowed to be on or used while on board the flight. This includes mobile phones in flight mode (China Southern explained to me that this is Chinese law), so don't expect to do anything with your mobile phone which means you're basically using their entertainment system. They will stop and tell you midflight to turn off your phone. Food was horrible, no soap in the bathrooms, and boarding/deboarding in Guangzhou was a test of patience. Having been through Guangzhou twice, despite there being multiple gates for planes to pull into for arrival, they'll always deplane you to the tarmac where buses will be waiting. They'll then drive you to an arrival's terminal where you're forced through a long line that leads to a China Southern desk for them to stamp your boarding pass to wait for your next flight. This line was 30 minutes long for our plane alone and increased as more arrived. Boarding was the same where you get on a bus, stand for 10-15 minutes while they drive you to a plane that was for whatever reason was attached to another gate that no one had access to and you've climbing stairs to board again. The airport itself is devoid of many food or coffee shops and what's available is expensive and of low quality/taste. Expect to see endless construction, many unclean bathrooms where the toilet seats don't even fit the toilet they've been attached to, and lack of soap in the bathrooms.

Courtesy and smiling faces.

I actually have no complaints. All went well on both legs of my flight.

Delayed flight.

Nothing... Entire experience horrible for my 17 year old.

Everything. Will never use American Airlines again

First class

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.

Every one was very gracious and helpful. Thank you!

Everything was very good

Comfort and friendly crew.

Electronic entertainment can be better.

I got two beers and a decent meal

The aircraft was old and dumpy. The IFE is very insufficient and needs to be renewed.

Flight was delayed then after many hours got to know that the flight was cancelled. . It was terrible and didn't expect it.due to this my plans and work for effected. Now after my arrival to USA I received my laguages after 2 days. when I received my laguage Many of my stuffs are missing. I'm highly disappointed with this service. I'm never ever going to use air China again. I won't recommend to my friends too. A very bad service

The on time schedule.

Never enough room on the plane. No leg room

The flight was comfortable and left on time. It was a short flight, but we were offered food and drinks. The plane was modern with screens behind each seat.the

Airline equipment (aircraft ) in poor condition... International transfer flights point , poorly manned by Chinese imagration..(they just didn't care if you made your connecting flight)

after all the schedule changes the flight was on time and boarding was easy

the food should be better and have more variety also the movie could be more updated; the changes of the departure time should be more stable

Never got on this flight. We were never given an email to self check in, and we're unable to board 45 mins before at the gate coming frim anotthe flight. They overbooked this flight & sold our tickets, and then told us we couldn't get on flight. Now we are out $2500 buying new tix!

All the above. A simple check in email would have averted this problem. All the other airlines do this. We were under the presumption that we had to check in at airport when we didn't get check-in notice. Furthermore, they sold our tickets, so we're down $2500 and they doubled their profit. It would be hard for me to say I will use Air Canada or kayak in the future.

The crew is very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent.

Delayed three hours in Amsterdam then caused me to miss my connecting flight to Seattle. Then they only gave me the option of being late a day. On top of all that they lost my luggage. Time to retire that 767.

Good service

Staff efficient

Abit slow at check in with queues

The personal entertainment option worked fantastically. Food was also very good for such a short flight.

The cabin crew were very pleasant and helpful. Boarding was on time and general flight was good, except for landing which I think was due to the wind but it was a bit like a roller coaster!!!

The flight was ok but the seats were cramped with very little leg room. The entertainment was dated with nothing particularly modern to watch. The screen was the old fashioned type and had to be fixed on to the chair in front. There wasn't much information on the flight journey. The food was awful! What sort of snack is pizza and a Mars Bar!!! Terrible nutrition in this day and age and where was the fruit we were promised.

Had to pay to pay extra to watch t.v. was $7.99 for a 2 hour flight. Could go to a theater for those prices. Everyone in my group complained about it.

So many maintenance delays, I wouldn't make any connections. Gate attendants were crabby and not very helpful.

Friendly crew

Having to pay extra $$ for seating and not enough together

Arrived twenty minutes late. AA refused to accept responsibility for this and compensate me, even though my transportation had departed without me as a result of their tardiness.

Good price and got me from point A to point B as desired.

I am a small man but the seats were small even for me. I can't imagine how normal sized or large people can stand flying.

It would be nice if WiFi was offered but not a biggie

Nothing

Flight was a series of late take offs, the food was really bad, people are so crammed in there is no space to even move around, one entire area was blocked with people's stuff which led to exit doors and this is not safe....time to demand airlines provide decent space to at least be able to cross ones legs, can't even do that anymore

Quantas was great

Bravo fly scammed me - booked & charged 3 tickets for one passenger!

Nothing ride staff no water

Everything. Late, delayed without notice. Completely screwed our travel plans

If ever possible I never fly air China though Beijing again. This flight had horrible service, the crew was rude, the airport staff in Beijing were rude. there wa no inflight entertainment on a 5 hour flight.
