Sri Lankan airline had less entertainment choices and Sri Lankan national carrier did not have language choices

Too many carryon bags with size of checking bags. Because of that space was not there to put carry on backpacks.

Very poor. The flight was delayed for over an hour. Also, our baggage, including that of many passengers, approimately 180 bags did not arrive, and we are yet to receive it.

Flight was on time.food is as usual good.Aircraft is old.old A320, seats aithout any display.crew serve well

Was got free upgrade, on old A320.aircraft is out dated kind of.bt service ,cabin manager, tried there best.and food was excelent.

When flying from Indian Sector, should be more prepared with Indian food

KAYAK Real time status update is not accurate.the flight inbound rejected and go around.and came back and land. Delay abt 30 min.still shows ontime.track ur self if u wana real time.and cabin crew s are nicer. Aircraft is jst ok.old airplane.and in midflight ,seems have some compressor issue.airconditioning was nt work properly either.I could litarary see guests were cheking if AC is working.bt on landing it start to gv cool.which probably some one intentionaly kept .which was so bad.even breathing was bit difficult.otjer than that.for me all ok.

Smooth takeoff and landing. Best service experience in all our travels over the years. Caring and attentive crew. Loved our flight to and fro.

Aircraft used fir this route was pretty old. Seats 💺 were hard & difficult to reclaim although it was flat bed

I changed the flight, there was restriction from srilanka to india - airline is not allowing me to board with that ticket, i changed the ticket for my travel. Thanks!

Paid for the seat 17D. I found that that seat has no lean back facilities

Flight was short but turbulent giving uneasy feeling :( ; although views were mesmerising ;)

Flight boarding experience with journey was smooth; can describe it as a less to minimal turbulent flight!

No food/drinks included for BOM to BKK I paid 675£ for LHR-BOM-BKK (return) flight.

Just fly from point a to b. rest holds zero stars. And with zero competition, what do you expcect

Flight was delayed and due to this we almost miss the connection flight

Worst checkin experience. Lot of delays. Checkin agents rude. Flight delayed. No regrets by the airline.

As usual invariably delayed Lots of time in getting chkd in baggage

INDIGO Never On Time & Always Prefer to Shuttle Passengers Like shuttle Corks

I was unable to check in online. It said PRN is not correct few times in spite of it being correct. I could not book my seat. I travelled from Mumbai to Chennai & Chennai to tiruchi. I raised my problem to staff in Mumbai and they were not helpful. They kept saying I needed to do it in Chennai. They said they can’t print my boarding pass since it started from Chennai. They could have helped me with online checking. Customer service is very poor and not helpful. They could have done a better job.
