Poor food options for vegi folks n not enough food quantity. Fiji really needs to improve on it. Flight crew is very warm and respectful but don’t know how to cater towards vegi folks n items despite so many Indians staying in Fiji

I thought Fiji and Fiji Airways was great. Looking forward to the next trip. Baggage claim at the end went to sh...t

Left on time , arrived on time. Staff was awesome!!!!! Great flight!!!!

Great food, wonderful staff made a long flight seem short

We have had an absolutely horrific experience so far getting home from Australia on a $18,000 + flight we booked with you. The flight did not deplane in Dallas because there was no available gate or staircase. We sat in the plane for 3 hours waiting to deplane. As a result we missed our connecting flight to New York. American Airlines put us up in a hotel several miles away. We waited 45 minutes for a shuttle and The shuttle driver was horribly rude and unhelpful. They offered us $70 vouchers for food but actually there was no food left when we arrived minus some chicken nuggets and corn dogs. It was awful. Horrible way to end a vacation. There has to be accountability here.

A bit cramped in economy and the people in front wouldn’t put their seats up during meal service, crew did not help with that and I felt they could have done more about it.

The airline is ok, but it needs to improve it schedules.

In-flight entertainment options could use a refresh, Consider a tie-up with Spotify for more current music and with IMDB or other service for newer selections/movie ratings.

6 hour delay and they didnt try to make up any time during an over 10 hour flight

They charged me over a $1000 dollars to bring two surfboard bags as check baggage. Inappropriate and I would avoid flying sgain

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

The crew at Hawaiian Airlines was fantastic. Kind and hard working. The pilots were great with giving us all the updates to make sure we were informed.

We flew first class, and it was worth every penny for that long flight. The crew was great, the service was terrific, and we were so very comfortable. It made the flight so much better. We will fly Hawaiian again!

Food and roominess were better on other international flights I’ve been on.

I like Hawaiian Airlines, however the flight was canceled, which we only discovered upon arriving at the Sydney airport where one, out of several monitors stated the flight was canceled. After finally making contact with a representative in the office in the building, because there were no individuals to talk to at their check in counter, we were informed the flight had definitely been canceled, though no reason why was given. The office staff person said we had been rebooked on a Qantas flight into Los Angeles and on a United Flight from Los Angeles to Seattle. We would not have known this unless I had found the office person in their office to inform us of the rebooking. We arrived in Los Angeles to discover the United flight originally scheduled to depart Los Angeles at 7P.M. was delayed and would not be departing until 9:25 P.M. Again, no reason was given for the changed departure time. We did not arrive home until 4 AM the next morning.

Vegetarian food options was okay taste-wise. We’re happy they are available but quality can certainly improve. Snacks were good!

The main thing I noted as mediocre was the flight crew, especially one of two women attendants, who seemed to wish she were not there, and I think there may have been some kind of problem going on, with a bit of conspiratorial smirks between two attendants, like something was wrong that they were annoyed with. I understand that it is a very difficult job to attend such a long flight, but I had really been anticipating an aloha attitude on Hawaiian and it wasn't there. The next leg of the journey from Hawaii to SFO was pretty bare-bones, only snacks available were for purchase. I can imagine that Hawaiian Air is an underfunded airlines, which I am sorry about, but I'm not sure that can excuse some of the experience. Thanks.

2 hour delay after plane was boarded…sat on the plane for 2 extra hours turned a 5 hr flight into a 7 hour flight

after a really long boarding process to a late plane, we then sat on the tarmac for an hour and 40 minutes. then they brought us back. deplaned, moved to another gate, moved back to the original gate. Replaned and left 5hours 30 minutes late. arrived at empty airport so there were no services at 3 in the am, bathrooms closed all over and no help with luggage. took 45 minutes for the only plane arriving at the time. The airline made no accomodations - I was charged for a full night of a hotel stay. we went past the 2am time line for the airport Embassy suites. lost the funds paid for the hotel and the rental car place charged an additional $57 for the car rental.

Flight crew made us feel they did not want to be there - the seats in Business are uncomfortable compared to other airlines and no inseat entertainment is not fun when you are kept waiting on the tarmac in both directions

I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !

Very good overall. Highly recommend for all flying to Australia

Qantas is always subpar beyond comfy chairs for a domestic flight

Airline running better than post Covid, proper boarding process now implemented, some aircraft feeling a bit old and tired, crew fine, online experience better.

Inflight entertainment, poor that there are no headrest screens on aircraft used for an international flight.

Touch screens were very difficult to use, generally being laggy and unresponsive- it was quite an art to get it to play the thing you wanted rather than some thing at random. Selection of films and Tv was good when touchscreen decided to finally respond.

Their aircraft are old and amenities lack way behind other international carriers leaving from BNE. Even in economy

The old Plane had not been cleaned properly in a long time.

Top notch service, good selection of snack and meal options, generous accommodation for luggage, and great selection of in cabin entertainment. I really appreciate the offering of pillows, blankets, sleep mask, tb&paste, and earplugs. The only complaint I can make was that my seat was horribly uncomfortable and lacked cushion.

An extremely long flight packed in like sardines. But they feed you often with meals,drinks and snacks. They have a lot of movies and audio books

Flight stewards were sometimes short when passengers made requests at the same time. The requests were simple but a smile & a remark of "I'll get to you soon" instead of a curt & passing "Wait a minute." Flying is not cheap & good manners should be a given when taking care of people cramped in seats for longer than ten hours. The food tasted great but doesn't look appetizing. The mid-meal break food or merienda were great in the last two flights I was on.

It was amazing with great service. But the seating could have been better if there was ample arm rest areas

Flight attendants did very well, they were all friendly and very helpful .

Absolutely terrible. I will never fly that airline again. The problem was with the constant emails changing my seats, arrival/ departure times and the aircraft. The staff at the airports and onboard were great. Between making the appointment in May 2025 and my actual trip I had over 50 emails announcing changes. I was traveling with 3 other couples and they experienced the same thing.

Excellent! All flight related was memorable ! My first experience with Mabuhay Lounge,,, not so good

Crew excellent calling me by name ! Only downside was no inflight WiFi

Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.

Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow

My biggest concern was with all the schedule changes. Both inbound and outbound flights times were changed, including a time change less than two days before the scheduled departure.

The check in crew is rude. They are strict in luggage. How about you buy something in duty free and then they tell you to remove some of your stuff you’re ending up throwing everything. The crew are nice. But the seat is really hard it’s not comfortable in long flight. I’m not planning again to book a flight in Philippines airlines it could been better if you trained your check in crew to be compassionate and nice. I travel a lot in emirates qatar but never experienced anything like that.

Flight on time. New plane. No entertainment screen just device. No offer of water. Didn’t order food.

Jet star delayed both trips with poor communication. Passengers were made to change gates often and then left to stand with no seating. As someone getting over surgery this was very trying.

stuck in the aircraft for over three hours due to engineering work, significantly delayed and made a lot of passengers missed the connecting transport, no mention any compensation

Very quiet plane!! One of the quietest planes we have been on.

Comfortable seats, boarding was easy and staff were very nice.

The crew were great. The seat was older than an old Holden with a big metal bar sticking right into my back. The passenger next to me complained that hers was the same. The pre purchase system for food was disappointing as the pie/quiche took 20 mins to warm up, arrived too hot and with no utensils. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on.

I got what I paid for - flight was clean, staff were friendly

I was allocated an exit row seat and was told to move so it could be given away to someone who had purchased two extra legroom seats and one regular seat but wanted the three to sit together. I was also charged for entertainment after booking but before checking in, and the ground crew couldn't do anything about refunding it. When the whole plane was given access to the entertainment as an apology for the flight being four hours late, I was told they couldn't do anything about that either, so I was charged for something I didn't want even though it would have been free anyway

The plane layout is built for short haul domestic flights. 3-3-3 configuration in economy is ridiculous for ~10 hour international flight.

Every single one of my flight were delayed. On top of that when I asked for water I didn’t get it the first time. I had to ask for it multiple of time.
