Had to take a shuttle bus from boarding gate to the plane and climb steps to the plane. I already knew 737-Max 8 was a small plane with only two toilets at the back for the entire economy cabin. If you sit among the last 5-6 rows closer to the toilet you will have passengers standing at the single aisle queuing to go toilet next to you as there could be more than 5-6 of them waiting at each time especially after meals. That said the crew was prompt to ensure the toilets were checked and in good order at intervals and they remained clean for use. The plane ride took close to 6 hours rather than 6.5h and despite taking off late some 25 minutes we arrived ahead of the scheduled time due to a shorter flight duration. In-Flight was challenging due to narrow aisle and quite slow. Food for breakfast was served rather late and a bit of rice grains were not fully cooked. good variety of juices and fruits + yogurt served. Flight was smooth.
I paid extra for assigned seating. When I checked in my seat had been changed to middle seat middle aisle. There was a reason I paid for an aisle seat. I did not sleep the entire 14 hour flight, preceded by a five hour flight from Kathmandu to Singapore. When I arrived in San Francisco, I had gone 40 hours without sleep. My immune system was compromised and I caught RSV flu. These days I hate flying!
Flight attendants were awesome! Very helpful and patients. Some food were good but maybe not serving fish that kinda make the whole aircraft smell fishy. The “fried pork” was tasty but too much skin so it doesnt taste that great.
They ran out of the second choice of food was stuck with fish
The staff on the plane were attentive and friendly. The frustration with the cabin crew was that we were served second to special diet people. And, we were in economy section. The boarding staff was mediocre. Got scolded for requesting to sit with spouse on 14 hours long flight home. Was told they cannot break up families for us. Didn’t understand how we were denied sitting together as we are husband and wife. After many words of exchange, we were accommodated. Cleaning crew did a horrible job! Bathrooms were unsanitary or dirty from beginning of flight! Didn’t expect sparkling as its economy, but did except decent.
Crew and service was excellent, but passengers should be offered a welcome drink before take off which did not happen. Food was very good. Unfortunately the lie-flat bed in business class was one of the most uncomfortable I have experienced. The configuration forces you to sleep with your legs at an angle instead of in a straight line, plus there is very little padding on the bed so it wasn't possible to sleep for more than 2-3 hours on an 18 hour flight. For what the airlines charges for a business class ticket their hard product leaves a lot to be desired.
A 16 hour flight from Singapore to Los Angeles had only 2 meals. Please make it 3 meals.
Once again the meal served was delicious - we got chicken rice
When boarding, after business class should be premium economy, but economy class already lined-up at the gate blocking premium economy to board. Singapore airline crew should done a better job to organize this chaos :( Thank you.
Cleanliness Help for boarding and sitting Food should have been better
HAVING ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR PEOPLE TO BOARD ACCORDING TO GROUP IS ESSENTIAL N ENSURING N CUTTING OF QUEUES, EXCEPT FOR PRIORITY CLASS PASSENGERS ON A SEPARATE Q
We still get drinks and a snack. Love the gift bags too.
Need to improve on punctuality. My flight was delayed by 1 hour.
Terrible. It’s like they are stuck in the dark ages. I brought a standard carry on suitcase and a back pack - I was told I could only carry on 7kg per bag - in business class, I was forced to remove articles from the suitcase and put them into my backpack! That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever encountered in all my years of flying. The two bags weighed the same amount but one could not be more than 7kg. Holy cow.
The boarding efficiency was good. A couple of the flight attendants did not seem in the best of moods. Overall it was a good experience.
Entertainment is limited with a relatively old catalogue. Wi-Fi never works and the cabin and lavatory had evidence of a lot of scuff marks and temporary repairs. Nothing unsafe, but a bit tatty in places.
The transfer from Domestic and International was a bit confusing but I am easily confused. I did not eat any food, but the food on the other leg was decent. It was nice they turned the lights off on the night flight. The plane was in good shape, but was a little cramped in economy and I am small. They gave me a customs form to fill out and nobody looked at it as I went through customs. Not a bad flight.
Increase the number of available films, including variety. All other aspects were great.
Check in was a disaster. 90 minutes and only 2 economy check in desks open. Had to rush to catch the flight.
Thai Airways is one of the best airlines in the business. Looking forward to fly again with them.
They need to take training from emirates or Singapore airlines, it’s premium in pricing but poor in standards
Great! Internet is below its competition. Poor connectivity quality and speed.
Nice staff, only one of the food services had a vegetarian option. Premium Economy was good - big seats and footrest. A little slow bringing welcome drink and often didn’t have the prosecco left on the tray - as though they are discouraging choosing that option. My only complaint is the wine/drinks served in a paper cup - I ordered a cognac on our previous flight and it came in the bottom of a paper cup, wine is poured into the cup like it’s a bucket!
I do not think there was much that could have been done to make it better. The delayed flight was due to bad weather. The turbulent patches were very unavoidable. Am simply thankful that there were no sudden and / or sharp drops during the flight. I do extend my compliments to captain Marcus I believe was his name and the rest of the crew. They all did an excellent job. My only question is whether I get a refund since the seats I had chosen and paid for were reassigned.
The flight experience was good for a long flight over the pole, but it got my wife to the Far East in time.
The morning in Hong Kong was ridiculous. Very chaotic. The flight was delayed. Missed connecting flights. Kathy should be more competent in getting the planes ready ahead of time so that flights can depart on time.. totally ridiculous and unnecessary. Very poor performance.
Close to excellent. The only problem is when I try to charge my phone on the USB in front of my seat, the battery level is decreasing rather than increasing. Why?
The flight was cancelled. I wasn't informed where to check in, how and when. It wasn't easy to get in contact with Cathay service representative, and they were not very helpful... The staff on the airport - Air Canada (I assume) were the most helpful, kind efficient, patient... Thank you for all your help and care, for your patience, for your professionalism!!!
My seat was sold off to someone else. Had to wait 9 hours to catch the next filght. Definitely will never use Cathay Pacific again. Bad, very bad airline. will comment on google reviews too.
In flight entertainment system including wifi were down and passengers got tortured for the 16 hours flight without any of these. Food was spoiled as well for the first meal provided but second meal was Ok. Overall a horrible experience which was not at all expected for such a long haul flight which was expected to be THE most memorable part of my planned trip for family.
transit accommodation. if you dont travel with partner , it would seem fairer to only charge half the room cost to make up the difference.
The barcode on the boarding pass could be made for everyone not just the wechat user.
We were taking the flight MU 8649 from Shanghai to Osaka and the original boarding gate was 20 and we didn’t receive any notification or broadcast about gate changes, and by the time we missed the original boarding time we check thr electric board and realized the gate was changed to 208 Also the flight was delayed by almost an hour and the crew member didn’t provide any explanation, after we finally boarded the aircraft was very hot, the crew member told me the air conditioning was not working and tried to calm passages down by offering iced water, all of us sat in the aircraft for another 40 mins before it finally took off
Not good - chair back could not move back for premium economy. Not worth the price
The back of the chair - premium economy could not move back - not worth the price
We were diverted to Chengdu, because of bad weather and finally made it to Chong King about 7 hours later
Never got the wheelchair service when my parents arrived at LA . My mom was 74 , also my dad was 84 years old, both don’t speak English. I double checked with the front desk at Phoenix airport, making sure that they will be taking care of.
Had some luggage loading delays but it was still a good experience
The food was perfect. The boarding process is a bit long. Given the late boarding time, I felt very tired by the time I was seated.
Traveling with the Chinese airlines , their service superior to the US Airlines , they are much more friendly and the seats are comfortable , In the past I flew with United , now ,United Airline will become history for me .
The food served was the best of the 3 airplane flights we took on this vacation. Stewardesses were very nice.
Food no choice just give it seams trying to finish what ever you have in hand
Jia yung was the flight attendant that made this a miserable flight.
AC not working, just slowly blowing room temperature air. Long taxi time does not help as well. Sweating all over the whole trip.
The IFE is quite unconvenient if using our own device. Not all passenger brought their own earphone/headphone.
No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed
No recognition for one World Emerald member. I got row 1 in business class and it was pathetic. No leg space, cramped space, less recline
I had purchased extra leg room for all legs of the flight but due to a delay in leaving Perth I was put on another flight but with Emirates. My luggage was initially lost but later found and my suitcase was broken. I ended up losing my upgrades
Prompt and efficient boarding. New MH-awards streaming worked first time on my personal device.
On-time & very well priced. All you need on a short flight.
