Awesome! Was impressed with the hospitality and the thoughtful services. The cabin attendants were superb.

Leg room and flight sound insulation is very bad. They broke 3 of my bags with bad handling

The Premium economy class is not the same as some other airlines because there are no economy seats on these planes. Basically you’re getting an economy seat that’s a little wider. The seats are not that much more comfortable. The service and food experience is similar to economy class on other Asian airlines. There aren’t enough toilets for the entire plane therefore we are forced to share the business class toilets that are closed off with curtains.

Excellent meal served with real utensils, cardboard served hot meals instead of plastic utensils and plastic covers. Quick service, friendly and accommodating stewards.

All in all the flight was good. Love the fact that for airline food it was piping hot

I requested an aisle seat and got a middle seat The flight gate was changed and the flight was delayed

They made me check my carry on even though there was room We un boarded in a strange way but overall it was good

Wonderful service, planes and interior in great condition, very pleasant experience

Every thing was fine. Some ild classical Hindi movies should be add

The premium economy seats were not that great. It could have been more premium than economy seats.

Can you please process refund. Mum died and dad went to Pakistan to bury her after cancelling flight.

Short flight so no entertainment, turbulence so no food service - overall flight as expected

All was good, the only thing was it didn't run on time.

The staff and crew on board were excellent. Business class however, was very weird. I thought we would have individual pods, but the way it was set up was unexpected. Not very private and If you wanted to lay down, you had to have an entire bed made up for you by the crew, rather than how Delta one works where you could just lie down whenever you feel like it. It was a 16 hour flight. I chose not to have my bed made, and that turned out to be a good idea because everybody who had their bed made had to wait for the crew to roll up their mattresses. So strange!

Food was not good. We asked for Muslim food and it was weird tasteless type of boiled veges.

Crew were pleasant, happy to be there and were a joy to be around. Entire operation was professional, well thought out and ran like a Swiss clock.

Couldn’t request a vegan meal somehow but I noticed other people getting them

United flight from SFO to PDX was cancelled. I will ask for a refund. Had to book on Alaska

Good food and entertainment options. Great Staff that were all welcoming and caregiving.

Flight was canceled due to technical issue shortly before the check-in counters opened. Passengers were rebooked on a flight three days later. Request to be accommodated on Air Tahiti Nui could not be processed. Customer service sorted out the refund after calling and being put on hold for almost an hour.

Surprised how empty comfortable seats in economy were not offered by crew to tall passengers. Felt like courtesy hall mark of emirates is changing. We were told in order to get those seats we have to pay $210. Not the emirates I know from past travels.

Food was good, great communication by Pilot and Co Pilot, Crew very friendly. Slow beginning drink and meal service - over 2hrs into flight which disrupted overnight flight sleep. Entertainment systems was 3 Stars, my wife's was nonfunctional and had to call attendant 3 times to get it reset, mine the headphones and jack we're twitchy and keep going to muted volume.

The plane was very old and uncomfortable. Service was very slow!

Always my favourite airline. On time, lovely staff, clean comfortable seats. Well done

First Class on A380 was an incredible experience with a group of very attentive crew. The only flaw of this flight was the boarding process at Concourse C of DXB where no one was managing the queue. I was at Zone A but arrived when they were already boarding Zone C & D. There was no separate gate for Zone A & B to go through.

I liked everything accept the delay try to improve in that area

The food on this flight was just terrible. I have a wheat allergy so when booking I ask for gluten free options. The food given was inedible. The bread rolls were rock hard. Once board I was given one and the only thing I could do was eat the chicken slice and piece of tomato on it. Also given was 4 small cubes of fruit, 2 watermelon and 2 pineapple and a bottle of water. My husband had a regular meal and found his very average. Then the evening meal was also disappointing! Some dried out fish with spinach and 3 sticks of dry white sweet potato. No sauce …. 😳 again, the same fruit and water. The passengers had to wait a long time for the dinner food to be served. My husband just wanted to eat and go to sleep so he was a bit annoyed about that. We got off the plane and I was feeling quite hangry. Not enough food or a good eating experience. Emirates used to be a flight we looked forward to… now we are considering looking at other companies for the future.

Worst ever. No assistance and communication from Emirates crew. No visibility of when the flight is flying. Couldn’t understand if we can go to lounge to take rest. Emirates system at a certain point said flight is not operating and suggested to take the next flight and in few minutes it suddenly opened the gate for boarding. unsupportive and rude crew. Worst experience ever. Flight was delayed by 5 hours so need the compensation for that.

On the Dubai-Gatwick flight the only meal options were Beef or Chicken. No vegetarian option. This was a surprise. I would usually order in advance but did not this time. Would have been good to know that a vegetarian meal is not available as a standard meal. Thankfully it was just me travelling, but if I’d had my kids with me that would have been a big problem for us.

Not that good The crew in the plane were rim professional & almost lost in their work distribution

I have never had a problem with flying Qantas, so this flight was the same as any other.

After British Airways cancelled my London to Sydney and Virgin Australia refused to refund, there was no ways I would try Virgin Australia again, so it was Qantas - what a good flight experience. So much easier to get off an international flight and get a local flight without having to add extra amounts for baggage

Internet on internation flights is a basic comodity. Very disappointed. Same entertainment that has been on for the past year. Update your content for frequent flyers

Excellent plane, smooth boarding Friendly crew Clean flight till end Food can be little better

The seats are too close together and are smaller than they used to be. Makes for a cramped experience.

All things were below standard. There were 2 crew on the flights but didn't ask for water. The flight connection was poor for 4 hours.

Flight delay was informed at the last minute. Food quality is not up to Qantas standard I was unable to book an online boarding pass on any of my 6 flights.

1) crackly headphone jack 2) one of the emergency seats recline. Usually second row does. But in this case neither did 3) food was scrambled eggs or fruit. 4) fruit should not be the option to eggs 5)miserable unpleasant crew not a smile. Thought that was a virgin thing

Business lounge in Melbourne mediocre. Look at Emirates or Qatar, Qantas! Great friendly crew. Food was good but Emirates is a level above. Business seat good. But can’t compare to Qatar. Main reason for booking Qantas is loyalty and terrific connection via Perth to LHR.

Wonderful crew, good food. Absolutely loved the wine spritz and wish I could buy it!

The terminal for this flight, 4S, was INSANE. So many Iberia desks, and it wasn't clear which ones were for which destinations. When I checked in, I asked if I could check my bags to LAX, my final destination, but was told no because my next flight was with another company--I would have to gather my luggage and then deposit it again in London. Annoying, but okay. Then I went through Security, where I was asked to open my luggage, berated for having water (which I offered to throw out), and just generally hazed. After Security, I went up and down countless escalators and then boarded a tram, which literally went miles. Following the tram, there was ANOTHER escalator and ANOTHER line, this time for passport control. At 10:25, I told officials there that I was on a 10:40 flight, but nobody seemed concerned. So after clearing passport control, I RAN all the way to the gate, where my boarding pass was scanned, and then ran along the gangplank. At this point, I expected to board a plane, but what I encountered was a STAIRWELL, with steep stairs leading downward. Astoundingly, I didn't see any elevators or escalators. I lugged a suitcase, large bag and jacket down three to four flights of stairs, expecting to board an aircraft at the end, only to encounter a bus outside. After all the hoops we passengers had just jumped through, I was floored by this. And because the bus driver was waiting for other confirmed passengers, the rest of us were standing on the bus for at least ten to 15 minutes. Once the bus FINALLY set off and then dropped us at the plane, which was sitting way out on the tarmac, we all had to cart our luggage and bags up ANOTHER steep set of stairs onto the plane. In 100-degree heat. Parched from the physical marathon I had just endured, I was thinking that once we were in the air, the flight attendants would pass out water. Instead, they went down the aisle asking if anyone wanted to order and pay for a drink, but they never asked me or many others if we wanted anything—they picked and chose passengers to ask. I raised my arm to try to get their attention, as I was desperate for some water, but they were avoiding almost all eye contact with the passengers. So I arrived in London completely dehydrated. Then I went to baggage claim. After waiting for about 20 to 30 minutes for my bags and not seeing anything that resembled mine, I started looking at my phone. That's when I saw an email from Iberia saying that there had been an incident with my luggage, and that my luggage had not made the flight, even though I had done the Madrid baggage drop in good time. Also, if I hadn’t checked my email, I don’t know how I would have found out that my luggage was missing, because there weren’t any reps at baggage claim. When I spoke to the Iberia representative about it, she said that the luggage would be arriving on another Iberia flight at 3:00 p.m. that day, but I was scheduled on a Virgin Atlantic flight departing London at 3:45, so picking up my luggage at 3:00 p.m. and rechecking it wouldn't be an option. After everything that had already happened that day, this was really disappointing. I didn't see my luggage again for two days. Honestly, it was just such a bad overall experience that I can't imagine flying Iberia again. And it was surprising, because earlier in the trip, I had been on the Renfe high-speed train from Barcelona to Madrid, which was a really good experience, so I had high expectations for Iberia. This could have been an aberration, but since it has been my only experience with Iberia, it is my only reference point.

Our trip home was uneventful, but BA misplaced/failed to deliver many bags, and one of those was ours. The other bag arrived without incident. Instead of putting the delayed bag on the next flight, BA waited for the second flight (24 hours later than our flight) and later cancelled it, so the bag remained at Heathrow. They again put it on the second flight the next day, so it arrived at our airport at 8:30pm, and they did nothing with it until the next day, arranging for it to be delivered the following day. So we arrived on a Wednesday, it's now Saturday, and they might deliver it on Sunday, but they said it could take 48 hours once the bag's picked up at the airport. BA obviously puts their customers first, delivering bags "within about a week" of travel. Nice job, BA!!

The flight was delayed by more than an hour and my trousers were stuck by chewing gum that was on the back of front seat. The crew was helpful in providing me with some ice to remove the chewing gum and upgraded my seat to business class

Entertainment was limited, especially for toddler age children but the rest was great.

They canceled the flight and would not rebook us within several days

During breakfast the fligh attendants missed one side of the plane for tea/coffee. I was on the other side and received tea. Unfortunately my husband and friends did not.

Horrible check in process. The app was unusable and the website very confusing

The seats were comfortable and dinner was good.? I ended up with food poisoning, not their fault. I caught it somewhere in Barcelona. I didn't tell the flight attendant so it was up to me. It is a good airline. I was just ready to be home

There was a problem in the luggage because there were not porters

It was a flight operated by Aer Linus for BA and the plane and crew were very good but the food selection was average.
