Traditional economy class. Not a full flight so spare seats. Food and drinks were good

10.0 ExcellentPeter, June 2025MEL - HKG

Traditional economy class. Not a full flight so spare seats. Food and drinks were good

Was bumped to a later flight because of inefficiency on part of the airline.

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

The Emerits/Qantas flight was cancelled to Wellington. We need a refund. Had to buy another airline ticket. How do we get the refund. Still not in Wellington.

Delayed QF59 flight once again, Qantas doesn't fail in maintaining there delayed departures and arrivals. USB points do not work nor do the power point sockets on the plane, Qantas staff admitted that on the flight. Don't expect to your charge devices. Saving grace, was the ice cream. Bottom line, if you expect to fly to HND and make it on time avoid Qantas and if you're interested in ice cream - visit 7/11.

Pretty excellent. I don’t know what the pilot could have done better with the bumping ( there was a storm) nor what happened to my ears coming down into bendigo. It doesn’t happen coming down into Sydney just the return flight. I wonder why?

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

Airport and crew experience was excellent. We had to queue for the runway - no one’s fault, but it did mean we were 30 minutes late leaving

Overall good experience with flight and airport wheelchair staff. Also got Indian food in the flights

Boarding was mayhem. Late boarding by 15 minutes because of lack of staff (missing 1 flight attendant. We had to wait for an arrival of another plane before we could board). Flight was a little rough, but cannot blame on airlines.

The food was the worst I’ve had on any flight I’ve ever been on.

Flight was On time and landed 30 mins early considering we were flying into Newark. No complaints.

The flight was canceled the day of the flight. United says it was FAA issue, with some 35 flights canceled and more delayed.

Mostly the experience was good except for the flight changes made by UA which meant longer layover in DC

UA28 was good service and meals. UA is upgraded, I would like to book for next flight by UA Thanks Liao

The tv monitor in front of my seat was not responding. The flight crew reset it and it still didn’t work.

Great. Food going from Australia to the US was better than other way around, but still needs improvement in terms of quality and quantity!!!

Everything was good. Flight was on time, luggage pickup was quick. The staff were great. Could not ask for anything more.

It was 4 hours late. Almost missed my connecting flight no food or drinks on connecting flight. Overall terrible experience

The plane was probably full boarding was easy. We were able to check our carry-on luggage for free. It was a return flight through Philly to LA. Never saw a stewardess do a demonstration of emergency Procedures. I think my flight was pretty full

The pilots are always hauling in the sky. No issues with boarding only problem was layover was shortened too much by weather but luckily the next flight was still boarding and did not missit

Was a normal flight but it was delayed, and there wasn't an explanation.

This was an overnight flight. There was no meal service in first class, just a simple snack basket was offered along with beverages. There should have been some type of continental breakfast prior to arrival in PHL. As an Executive Platinum American Airlines Advantage member, I received no name recognition from the first class flight attendant. When disembarking at PHL, the flight attendants were more interested in their cell phones than saying "thank you" to the passengers as they disembarked.

Nice modern plane. Can use your own device for entertainment. Get a snack on the plane.

Great experience. Flight boarded easily. Departed early. Smooth flight. Great arrival in DC--almost no taxing! Almost direct to gate from runway. Crew was terrific. Same cookies and beverages in main cabin. I did not use the entertainment system on this flight.

Flight didn’t get dinner on business. I was starving!

Angela was the best fa ever. She made that 8 hour flight a breeze

Paid for a window and was assigned to a middle seat with 2 very large people on each side of me. Flight was sold out and I feel I need to be refunded foe paying for a window seat and being put in a middle one..

The service and food needs to improve to catch up with other international flights
