Pros: Everything was smooth. MAS staff attitude has changed to the better tremendously. Friendly staff, orderly boarding, pilot announcements were clear with good command of English.
Cons: BKK to KL flight food needs some improvement. Presentation and taste. I had the fried fish with rice. But it was really tasteless.
Cons: The KUL to DPS leg was on one of the oldest planes I’ve flown. A 737 with no seat back screens. They handed out 2 inch thick “tablets” in Business class, with no touch screen and only a handful of 10 year old movies.
Pros: We paid for extra luggage for check in but we were allowed to carry them on board due to the short stopover duration of the connecting flight. Thanks for the much needed flexibility!
Pros: Overall is great
Cons: None
Pros: Gotta love seats in business class that lie flat and even give you a little bit of a massage. Superb crew.
Pros: Pleasant attitude of crew.
Cons: Late...again!
Pros: Flight and staff were great and we landed 50 minutes early!
Cons: It took an hour to get through the check in line at KIX, we weren’t able to check in online.
Pros: All set up for reasonably comfortable short haul flight and prices ok at similar to Thai Air
Cons: Priced the same, but unlike the wonderful Thai Air (my only other long haul experience) my ticket price and 8hr flight didn't include any food (Thai Air had 2 complimentary meals) and no one told us we could pre order and pay for food, so missed out when it was brought round. They charge to rent blankets and pillows (free on TA) and couldn't even help me with a glass of drinking water other than offering to sell me a bottle but at $10 USD as they didn't have any change (TA provide complimentary bottled water plus comp tea & coffee. Think there needs to be clearer info/advice 're refreshments for customers on long flights like this
Cons: No online check in . Seats were so small , you have to pay for water . We had to wait in line for an hour just to get boarding passes and we did not have any checked luggage
Cons: The terms and conditions say that you are not permitted outside food or drinks, but none are provided. Phones are not permitted and there is no entertainment system in lieu of this.
Cons: Gave us false infor for our boarding location and we had to run for boarding to different location when 30 mins left. Very hectic situation.
Cons: Food
Pros: short (14 hours) flight. food is okay as airplane food. seats are pretty big.
Cons: The only complaining is there isn't any Cantonese movies as it supposed to be a Guangzhou (廣東)/ New York bounds.
Cons: 3 hours delay I miss my professional meeting in Shanghai because of this big delay !!! I Sky Team Flying Blue Platinum for Life and this is the first time I got a bad seat and no window
Cons: I lost my bag, its untraceable right now . The airline was not that supportive and i haven't heard from them till now.
Pros: For a low fare airline, this was a comfortable, on time flight. Good entertainment selection and decent food. Crew was accommodating.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Crew still managed to provide me the veg meal, even though they didn't get the request.
Cons: Type of food I chose on the website was not ordered with the airlines.
Pros: This flight was shorter but i felt flight attendants were still very attentive.
Cons: Didn’t have individual screens to watch movies. One movie didn’t have English subtitles. Not that i cared because I was in and out of sleep, just pointing it out.
Pros: The airport transfer for boarding transfers. There was no assistance for those who have transfer flights in the stop over in shanghai
Cons: Pls provide assistance for those who have transfer flights. Like which gate they are going to transfer. I had to ask around where my gate was since it was not indicated in the ticket. I would save time if there was assistance feom the crew.
Cons: I didn't get notification that this flight was cancelled. I had to call the airlines to help me book a flight back to HK International. What happened?
Pros: The full refund.
Cons: Jetstar cancelled my New Years Day flight on the evening of New Years Eve “due to crewing requirements.” It was a blessing-in-disguise because it forced me to fly Virgin for the first time. Not only was my last-minute Virgin ticket cheaper than Jetstar, I didn’t have to pay the ridiculous extra baggage fees Jetstar charges, and a meal with alcohol was included in my flight. Virgin all the way!
Pros: Price..on time and a smooth flight.
Pros: unexpectedly about an hour into the flight an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was something like this : Attention Attention please pull on your oxygen mask when it drops and place it firmly over your mouth and breathe calmly. I was shocked and everyone that I could see looked shocked. Then nothing. It was the announcement that you never want to hear when on an aeroplane. About 5-10 minutes later another announcement that it was an error and a wrong button had been pushed. It certainly was the wrong button to push.
Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: It’s okay
Pros: Crew
Cons: Delays
Cons: Aircrew took my carry on away while I was waiting to board saying it was too large; left me without the essential items I wanted during the 19.5 hours in the air and two plane changes. Other people were allowed to keep carry ons bigger than mine so I don't understand why they did this.
Pros: Well organized boarding, friendliness of staff, food service
Cons: Flight was delayed by about an hour.
Pros: On time Smooth landing and take off Airport was beautiful, nice clean toilets Lovely and polite staff on board Food was okay Nice range of in-flight entertainment
Cons: Air port does not have automatic internet connection We were there for 8 hours with no internet because we had no international roaming to receive the PIN via SMS. The four PINS generated by the counter staff did not work. We all took turn to try to no avail. by then we have walked too far from the counter we could not be bother going back. No airport that I've been to had poor internet service connection like this airport, yet it is supposed to be THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE AIRLINE. We boarded at 11.30pm, last time we flew with them they gave us supper. Last night they gave us only water. We went to sleep hungry till the morning. Since when they started to operate like those cheap airlines that you have to pay for your food? And the night package did not have eye mask.... how could we sleep... ? Singapore airline could learn from Qtar. Very very disappointed.
Pros: The inflight entertainment was great, lots of movie selections
Cons: The leg room was horrible. Honestly the worst space I've ever had in a flight. I was shocked considering Singapore air is considered one of the best airlines
Cons: Less gate changes
Pros: Kind crew
Cons: Food is terrible.
Pros: Food was delicious and service excellent
Cons: Slow customs in Honolulu
Pros: Although this is a small plane the seats seemed to have more room than the larger plane from Sydney to Brisbane We weren't delayed by much. The onboard snacks were nice.
Cons: The plane from Wagga Wagga to Sydney was hot while we were waiting for take off as no air was circulated until we started to taxi.
Cons: Baby stroller was sent to baggage claim. I had to walk with small baby and a bunch of bags through all steps instead of using the stroller.
Pros: No problems for the price
Cons: Ok no problems for the price
Pros: Flew business class. Cabin crew was some of the most attentive I have experienced. Food was very good and nicely presented. Pillows could be better, but had two. Same with blankets. One thick and puffy, the other lighter. Nice for temperature regulation.
Cons: First leg lax - Tao delayed almost 3 hours. Fortunately the 2nd leg was delayed 1.5 hours. 3rd leg on this itinerary was also delayed, I could have made the flight, but they gave my seat away. It was a bit of a Charlie Foxtrot rearranging flights and overnighting Hotel. 2.5 hours. A supervisor was needed to sort it all out. We will see if the above was bad circumstances or not. I run the same itinerary in reverse on the way home in a week.
Pros: 1. Friendly crew and attention 2. Affordable direct flight from LAX to XMN 3. Good timing
Cons: 1. Seat cushion is too thin, resulting in painful butt after 12-14 hrs flight 2. The in-seat screen doesn't tilt, thus when front passenger reclined seat, the screen is right in front of your face (less than 5-inches). You need to crank your neck down to watch any programming which results in neck pain 3. Entertainment and food have much room to improve
Cons: We meet different problem in this flight. First, the boarding start late and we arrive late more than one hour. They could organize the entrance with range of number. The food was ok, but the beverage is poor, just half glass of wine or juice. no more. one small bottle should be normal fro lunch or dinner.
Pros: I liked playing tetris and pacman with a controller that was like that of a console. My flight had a lot of empty seats, and I noticed they staggered the seating so that there was nobody in front of me or behind me. Flight crew was genuinely nice and helpful even though we didn't speak the same language. The little cup holder was actually pretty cool. There even seemed to be ample leg room compared to other Chinese international flights I've been on. I've flown previously with china southern and China eastern, so that is my basis for comparison.
Cons: They didn't give me boarding passes for both flights (had a long layover in china). Other airlines printed both at the start of trip. This added quite a bit of confusion for me, seemingly unnecessarily. Also, I'm a bit disappointed in their free hotel room deal for long layovers. When I had a long layover previously with either china southern or china easter (can't remember which one), I got my own free hotel room, a free meal, and a free ride to and from the hotel. That was a real perk for my 12 hour layover. The deal with xiaman is you get a free hotel room, but you have to share it with a stranger of the same gender, and you have to pay for taxi to and from the hotel. Although you do supposedly get a free meal, I chose not to take them up on the hotel offer. Instead I took them up on their transfers lounge. This is a dark, quiet room full of dingy, dirty padded chairs and people sprawled out and snoring. I would have stayed more than 15 minutes if there were more phone charging plugs, but instead I went and ate mcdonalds and found a plug in at the kfc. Aside from all that, I would suggest getting some better Hollywood movies to choose from, as xiamen's competition has them beat there as well, in my opinion.
Pros: Attentive, polite,, cheerful attendants, very service oriented. Very nice airplane and nice business class at very good price.
Pros: Paid a little more for the bulk head seat in economy so had more leg room, however, less storage. Direct flight from SFO to MNL The flight attendant were okay
Cons: Boarding process in Manila is confusing as once you go through security they run your bag through again AT THE GATE. I don't think I've experience this at any airport and I've been to many countries. Also, once "corralled" in your assigned gate, there is limited seating. Getting in and out to go to the bathroom or get something to eat is a hassle. PAL international has it's own terminal (2) but all the airport lounges are in 3 or 1, and you have no access to those terminal once your in 2. Finally, the food option at PAL terminal is awful. For a major Philippines airline, I wish they would upgrade their terminal and make it more appealing for international travelers. For these reasons, I would consider flying another airline from US to Manila, e.g. Cathay Pacific, United, etc.
Pros: Flight was delayed 1 hour
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Food, be ontime, inflight entertainment
Pros: Great crew.

Pros: Comfort was decent.
Cons: Late due to crew.
Pros: Singapore to Hanoi flight.
Cons: Boarding is thru T2 airport bus which brings all passengers to Flyskoot plane parked somewhere. Not good for those with strollers. Will avoid Flyskoot if going to Hanoi.
Pros: On time.
Cons: Food
Pros: Clean
Cons: I am not sure why they were delayed.
Pros: Overall it was a good flight.
Cons: No offer to book my seat assignment during the booking process. A kiosk check-in would be a nice addition.
Pros: i did not see any entertainment.
Pros: The crew on the aircraft were great.
Cons: The boarding crew need to be trained on streamlining boarding procedures and how they communicate and interact with passengers. Room for improvement
Pros: Price
Cons: Not much comfort, no free food, although cheap.
Pros: Quick boarding
Cons: The air steward and stewardess were so noisy throughout the flight. I stood at the last row where it was close to where they sat and toilet. They took non stop and laughed literally loud. can you imagine the other way round - I am chatting loudly in the midnight and they are trying to get some sleep? They just didn't have professional mannerisms and service awareness.
Pros: Fast boarding ND excellent service
Cons: Very limited moving space
Pros: Nothing!
Cons: $165usd for two 20kg (50lbs) bags on a 7hr flight for two passengers is ridiculous! Not being able to get free water on a 7hr flight is crazy! I can under short local flights having all these extra charges but long haul flights like most other carriers shld come With at least 1 free checked bag and at least free water or soft drinks on a flight.
Cons: Where are my bags ? So my bag was on the flight but it’s been 2 hours and no bag ? Talk about ruining the whole travel experience because after a 16 hour flights your bag isn’t here and no one seems to know what happened . So they have you waiting 2 hours diiddling yourself and no one has any information . Go China southern yeah ! NOT
Pros: I was expecting less and China Southern delivered a very good experience on their.international flight from Auckland to Guangzhou. I was able to meet up with my son who flew them from SFO and fly on to Cambodia together. Guangzhou airport is stellar, clean, spacious, and transit was comfortable. Will flutter again with confidence.
Cons: The usual complaint thatevery airline's economy seats are just too small.
Pros: Timing, Price, Service, Food,
Pros: First time doing China southern. Their lay flat beds are more narrow and getting in and out was tight. I ain't that fat but my beer belly made it tight. Food outbound was better than return flight.
Cons: Beds could be more comfortable. They don't lay 100% flat.
Pros: Never flew with China Southern before. Really excellent service.
Cons: Need sweeteners for beverages besides sugar.
Cons: I haven't even made it to my destination yet.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Changed gates 3 times . No one knew what was going on. Late flight. Request for wheel chair not fulfilled. Very tight transfer. Very far to another gate when transiting from kL to Yangon. Ridiculously far. My first n last time with Malaysia airlines.
Cons: Food Seats cramped
Cons: No seat back entertainment. Very old plane.
Cons: The air con totally not cold!
Pros: Great service
Cons: Air Asia no tienen el mejor servicio de atención y si quieres algo de comer te cobran el doble que en el aeropuerto.
Pros: Fast boarding ND excellent service
Cons: Very limited moving space
Pros: The price! Efficient and friendly service. If you don't need to be fed every 4 hours, don't need onboard entertainment and can handle the slightly less legroom than standard carriers then AirAsiaX is highly recommended
Cons: You get what you pay for, or in the case of budget carriers you don't get what you don't pay for. AirAsiaX is no frills but that said it is efficient and gets you where you want to go for the lowest prices around. The meal you receive with the 'bag upgrade' pack is ok but nothing special.
Pros: The staff were attentive. The service was good and overall was okay
Pros: Terrible experience with sick passenger next to me
Cons: Terrible experience with sick passenger next to me
Pros: For a budget airline, it was an excellent flight, on time, reasonably good seats, with vegetarian food as ordered.
Cons: It was slightly disorganized, with not a lot of smiles from the crew, but it was fine anyway. I wish food portions were a little larger.
Pros: While the business seats weren’t as comfortable as the pods, they did go flat for a decent sleep but they aren’t as wide,you need to be traveling as a couple if you have a window seat if you want to get out while the other person is asleep.
Pros: The whole flying experience was great for a great price!
Cons: We have to claim the baggage outside and then come back to check in and get the new ticket to Bangkok again it’s terrible
Pros: Everything from booking, online check-in, self printing of Boarding Pass, BIz Class lounge, Flight. Flight too short (KL to SG) for me to eat and enjoy the inflight entertainment.
Pros: The service is exceptional!
Pros: Excellent service, made a very long flight very pleasant and enjoyable.
Pros: Got bumped to Business Class
Cons: without any possibility to call back. or to call again while being late, when arrived with plenty of time before departure. nobody was on the gate. when tryed to do all myself whithin minutes tsa didnt bother to speedup process and it took forever. i missed my flight literally in seconds.
Pros: Not much
Cons: Left late with no explanation
Pros: easy securityand boarding at kl
Cons: food bland
Cons: He is cheating telling normal taxi cant for two adualt and three chalidren to buy taket for double price for min bus or van , that person in charge is laieing and not respecting i hope to take acsing because they are the face of malysia visitor and i think no boday will except cheating even for one ringet . If need any details for the person can contact me.
Pros: We paid for extra luggage for check in but we were allowed to carry them on board due to the short stopover duration of the connecting flight. Thanks for the much needed flexibility!
Pros: Hard landing which gave passangers a shock.
