Only regretted that we weren’t aware (perhaps we missed announcement) that my husband who is still recovering from knee surgery was not aware we could have boarded from the forward entrance and avoid the descent and ascent via rear entry."
Pros: "Agents went above and beyond to help. Wish I had names because I was REAL impressed at how much they helped to get our bags checked.

When I checked in on line I was not notified that I should buy the checked backs online so assumed one bag each was free. Instead we were charged $nz120.

Cons: "Bathroom did not work, food was not so tasty"
Pros: "Cabin crew was fantastic! Inflight experience was woderful."
Cons: "Airport personnel were very unhelpful. When I asked them a question, they told me to come back later. I came back at the time they said to and they told me they don’t have time for me. I need to come back another time. I went to another gate agent and she told be to go downstairs to the check in counter for help. That would have taken 2 hours. I called customer service and they answered my question quickly. I just wanted to know if I would be charged a fee to change my flight."

Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Unlike the American flights, they actually served a light snack (not pretzels and nuts) and offered complementary wine and beer. The ride was pleasant."
Cons: "For the economy passengers, we had to go down a flight of stairs onto the tarmac and then back up on a portable stairs to get onto the plane. The same was true when we were deboarding the plane. This has more to do with the airports than with Air New Zealand."

Pros: "Friendly quality staff, good aircraft."
Pros: "Everything! Emirates is the best airline in all categories in my opinion."

Pros: "All good."

Cons: "Not enough recline in economy to really b comfortable for a long flight"
Pros: "The flight was incredibly comfortable, and Emirates reputation is well warranted. Service was impeccable and food was great. Seats were great, especially in business."
Cons: "Overall business class was great, however I didn’t like the placement of the remote at my left shoulder. I hit rabdom buttons a few times and it changed the channels and I would have to re-search for the movie I was watching. Everything else was absolutely perfect."
Pros: "Ease of checkin"
Cons: "Delayed take off Delayed baggage retrieval’s"
Pros: "This was operated by Qantas. Nice movie/music setup. Crew friendly"

Cons: "Staff not bring drinks regularly enough"
Pros: "Nice airplane, good entertainment, good food, ontime service, pleasant cabin crew"
Pros: "EVERYTHING"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Good service"
Pros: "I flew round trip on their flagship Airbus 380 from Toronto to Dubai, about 13-14 hours. Crew was great, plenty of food and drinks, about 3x meals, lost track of how many drink runs, maybe 5x. It was almost too much food & drink! The in-flight entertainment was great, touch screen was fantastic, USB port, even power outlet, on back of seat, plenty of entertainment choices from movies, to video games, to trivia, I even got a kick out of all the camera's mounted on the outside of the plane with all the flight tracking details available on screen, plenty of bathrooms. Its such a big plane it didn't even feel like you are flying. I'm 6'4" so I always choose an aisle seat so i can at least stretch one leg out, the crew was even mindful not to bump my elbow or even my leg when it was extended out into the aisle while i was asleep...which was more than accommodating to something I shouldn't have been doing! Overall Excellent, I wish every airline was like Emirates. They're bringing back the old school service and class airlines used to be like. I know people don't dress up while they air travel anymore, but I'll be dressing up the next time I fly Emirates! ;)"
Cons: "Nothing comes to mind."
Pros: "Decent food, real utensils, free wine, excellent entertainment system, free limited wifi. Try finding that on a budget airline"
Pros: "Friendly crew and more leg room on the Emirates flights"
Cons: "Passengers that leave the bathrooms dirty with urine on the floor etc. Not sure what the airline can do about that during the flights. But for longer flights maybe a damp mop or something along those lines would be helpful."
Pros: "Pretty uniforms and good service: Polite, gentle, helpful"
Pros: "THE ICE"
Cons: "Luggage handling for overwait hand luggages"
Pros: "They were on time and excellent service all the way. It couldn't have been better."
Pros: "Everything!"
Cons: "Not a single thing. Emirates is terrific!"
Pros: "Entertainment and crew service are very good."
Cons: "boarding could have started on time."
Pros: "Emirates is my carrier of choice, and that's due to their continued service standards, friendliness and rates. This flight was pretty empty so service was even better and I was able to spread myself out. Also, well done to the crew. They continue to maintain high standards."
Cons: "This is the first time it's happened to me, but I was scheduled to leave Oslo on Wednesday, but Emirates cancelled my flight and put me on the next one. It would have been alright had they offered some sort of compensation or made it up to me in one way or another, but that was not going to happen. They cancelled and the cost was on me (as per the T's & C's I was told) and that was pretty much that. Here's a hint, it seems like their Scandinavian flights are underperforming and in a cost saving effort, they're randomly cancelling flights. I subsequently found out they did it to someone else in the area causing them to miss two days of a pre-booked vacation. So, if they cancel, it's going to cost you a lot more in a city like Oslo to wait a day - not to mention the costs involved in missing work or vacation, so maybe shop around then. I still like Emirates, but I'm feeling a little burnt after this episode."
Pros: "The plane. The thoughtfulness of the crew. My seat's location. I was lucky to be in the front center! The flight information display. Flying at night across the Tasman Sea it was as though we were stationary (apart from a little vibration as we crossed the Southern Alps). Besides, the Air Bus is so quiet (comparatively). Oh yes. One other thing: the fare."
Cons: "We are vegetarians (not vegan). I wasn't keen on the chicken/fish option. But I didn't complain."
Pros: "The experience as a whole was great!"
Cons: "My meal option wasn't available."
Pros: "Online checking"
Cons: "N/ A"
Cons: "Headphone was taken by crew the moment plane landed."
Pros: "Emirates doesn't fail! Great service!"
Cons: "On a long flight to Australia- the crew can occasionally tidy up the bathrooms"
Pros: "Price on my ticket was great and comfort was good"
Cons: "The ground staff at Bangalore in India had no idea on crowd control. Before they started boarding they made no announcements. The agents would talk amongst themselves but there were no announcements. With the result that everyone rushed at once for boarding. The lady agent who was scanning the passes kept yelling at people to form a line but by then it was too late On the flight, they ran out of vegetarian meals by the time they got to my seat!!"
Pros: "Really comfortable, good service."
Pros: "Excellent highly diverse crew. Good food. Very comfortable. Fantastic entertainment selection."
Cons: "Expensive. Great to have wifi for nominal fee but problems getting and maintaining connection."
Pros: "F"
Pros: "The economy was just as well served as Business Class. There were 22 different countries represented in the crew on the flight. We were served a hot meal and a cocktail. Also, had more leg room than normal. Very efficient boarding system, as well."
Cons: "There wasn't anything about the flight to and from Sydney to New Zealand we didn't like."
Pros: "I requested a blanket for my Son and was told there was none available....."
Cons: "On disembarking I notice a various overhead compartments with bags full of blankets. Why was a deny a simple Blanket? This is unacceptable in an airline that praises itself to be one with the best customer services.......Bad, really bad...."
Pros: "Emirates is always excellent however the crew were not very engaging"
Pros: "Crew are awesome, helpful"
Cons: "Emirates pizza is not good."
Pros: "Fantastic service all around"

Cons: "Baggage took close to 2 hours to get to baggage claim on return trip"
Pros: "seats reclined nice, movie selection great"
Cons: "i didn't care for the manner in which you are charged for baggage fees"
The free movies were great. Crew and airport personally exceptional. Way too cramped cabin. Although boarded at 8:20 and had 4 hour flight, offered no breakfast. Only offered one biscuit with high amounts of high fructose corn syrup. Inedible. I'd prefer a 'breakfast bar' or low sugar muffin. All in all a good flight
Pros: "The scedule"
Cons: "We repeat soon"
Pros: "Crew was amazing, seats were really comfortable and the food was hot, delicious and filling"
Cons: "I will never fly with Copa airline again"
Pros: "Copa messed up the first flight on 2nd of august for me by overbooking. And today they had me wait till everyone boarded because they made some sort of mistake and couldnt verify online or web checkin"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Entertainment. Games were blocked. Movie section was poor."
Pros: "all"
Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "Even thou the flight was packed everything boarding, unboarding and the overall flight went very smoothly."
Cons: "There were a couple of “companion dogs“ in the flight. Personally I think that dogs should not travel in the passengers cabin except in very particular situations, but lately it seems to be becoming a trend."
Cons: "Good service"
Pros: "Crew was not aware of the drunken state of the 2 passengers sitting next to me . The 2 passengers got on the flight each with 2 beers . They finished it even before the flight took off . They then requested more drinks from the crew which they were given. I personally told one of the crew not to ser"

Pros: "Excelente"
Cons: "Ordered a vegetarian meal and did not receive if"
Pros: "The flight attendants were great. Extremely easy going handled everything thrown at them with great poise."
Cons: "Not Copa's fault but had the WORST family sitting behind me that allowed their young children to run up and down the 1 aisle at whim. Can't believe how they thought this was okay. Again, probably not Copa's fault, but why on earth do we have to go thru a 2nd round of security AT OUR GATE in Panama City, when we've already done it in a much more secure manner just to access the terminal? Having to give up my water before getting on the plane for a 6 hour flight makes ZERO sense. I hope this requirement is due to some stupid TSA/USA regulation and not Copa. If its the latter, please re-evaluate this."
Pros: "Victor was wonderful and took care of everyone’s requests with a smile. He worked very hard the whole trip even when not in our view. I also can’t remember a time that I’ve seen a steward deliver the Safety demonstration with such care."
Cons: "Our flight was cancelled minutes within booking but still charged to our credit card for 10 days, meaning we never actually made it to rio and lost our deposit on our hostel."
Pros: "To do bien To do muy. Muy Bueno"
Cons: "To do"
Pros: "The crew was really nice"
Cons: "There weren’t good options on food, and even it’s a 5 hours flight there was not internet or screen on the chairs."

Cons: "My connection flight arrive extremelly far from the bogot flight gate, there was no onborad entertainment, some of the crew were rude to other passengers, poor comfort I wouldnt recommend copa to anyone"
Pros: "The flight was on time"
Cons: "Again, I ended in a middle seat. Your web site does not allow to select seats ahead of time. I will select another service next time."
Cons: "No non-meat option for food"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Seats: on one leg (Panama to Mexico City) the seats are just like in Economy class, only a wider and more legg-room. But no FOOT REST, which is essential in a long flight. Laniding in Mexico was via a staircase and a bus (no fault of Copa). Reservation via BOOKING turned out to be a problem (could not make changes in flights). I had to do it via "influence", a pain in the neck."
Pros: "Food was ok, Some of the crew were friendly better then Mia Panama."
Cons: "The airport personnel did not help me with adding my miles to my Cops Cinbect card, they said it was no value and that Cops Connect membership want Copa, Worse they broke my expensive Nautica luggage by losing a wheel and my luggage was not even 22 kilos"
Pros: "Plane was clean, crew professional, flight was on time, food was decent. Thanks Copa, better than any US carrier!"
Cons: "All was good"
Pros: "Lisa Gilliard attended to us in business class. She was efficient, professional and top notch. Service was excellent under her leadership."
Pros: "I really liked the flight I had on Copa Airlines this morning . I am please with the professional air that was shared. I will use the airline again and again."

Pros: "Overal a good experience"
Cons: "Just couldn't eat most of what was served cause I'm vegetarian."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "In Panama City we had to go through a secondary security at the gate and had some of our belongings taken from us.. belongings that are normally allowed through security in the U.S... and because of this we had to have our fragile items put below with all the baggage and be sent to baggage claim.. which was extremely scary for us and frustrating. We were held inside the security of the airport without be allowed to leave to use the restroom, buy water or eat food."
Pros: "I flew executive class. The staff was very friendly and professional on the ground and on the air. seats are comfortable and there's a lot of storage space. The plane left on time and entertainment option aboard is great. What I did not like is that being seated in row 3, for four flights, I never got to eat the meal I wanted. It's seems the option always dies in row 2, just after less than half of the passengers flying executive class have ordered they meal. The rest was great and I would fly copa again!"
Pros: "The flight was on time and enjoyable."
Cons: "I accepted an offer to have my carryon taken down on the plane for me which I gladly accepted. When I reached my destination, I found that a cell phone had been stolen! Very frustrating to have such kind of service delivered for what should be a highly reputable airline."

Cons: "Doesn't had blanquette"
Pros: "I loved the food and the flight attendants' customer service. It was awesome and they were very nice."

Pros: "they had a vegetarian meal for me :)"
Cons: "they don;t let her board they saying ticket is not confirm and we have itnerery with all confirmation and we lives in belize from belize to cancun in bus 8 hours .so overall very unconvinence"
Cons: "I had a conection of 1 hour in panama and missed it because i dont know which guy you thinking am I and your employes taken me to a room and had to wait more 8 hours in the airport because of thier stuped thinking and i told them i have a flight and im just for connection there. In the start your employ spoke that its possible i pay for new ticket and thats because his fault and i run all the airport 2 times because he didnt checked that the gate changed thats iresponsble on the mind and freak me out there and i didnt get nothing more.... even no vuocher for food or something like this... I hope you do something like this because no one need to pass what i passed"
Pros: "Pontualidade"
Cons: "Num vôo para o Brasil, esperar-se-ia todas as comunicações também em Português."
Nice to have free meals. Polite helpful staff.
Our flight was delayed and we missed our connecting flight in LA. Staff literally rolled his eye's when my husband requested creamer for his coffee, they didn't have enough pretzels. And we had to wait an hour and a half for a hotel voucher when we arrived in LA. Over all it was a horrible experience. Don't recommend United Airlines.
Provide blankets and a real breakfast
Missed

Cons: "No complaints"
Pros: "Multiple rounds of drinks/snacks"

Pros: "Boarding was easy, staff were okay."

Pros: "Once in the air the flight attendants were very attentive"
Cons: "Doing the online check-in my wife and I were assigned seats on opposite sides of the aircraft and it was painful trying to get it resolved. We kept being put off to someone else and despite being among the first at the gate we ended up being among the last to get it resolved because of being put off to other people only to see the same person help someone else. It was finally resolved satisfactorily thankfully"
Pros: "Ran out of food so we had no food for a 5 hour flight Las airport is a nightmare; so much walking involved. For seniors ask for assistance"
Cons: "Everything"
Cons: "Purchased a non-stop flight leaving at 530 and arriving at 6:30 pm. After flight was pushed back to 830 pm departure, it was pushed back again to 1130 pm departure and 1230 am arrival. Rebooked through connecting flight and arrived at midnight."

Cons: "Plane malfunction delayed flight two hours"
Pros: "All the United personnel from gate agents to pilot and crew were very nice and pleasant and friendly. They seemed to take pride in their work."

Pros: "The crew was awesome."

Cons: "Over two hours late leaving"
Pros: "Thank you for making this connection available from charlottesville to dulles. It beat driving! Everyone was helpful"
Pros: "Do delays everything when smoothly"
Cons: "Took a little long for baggage to be released"
Pros: "They gave me TSA pre-check. I don't know why, since I'm not signed up."
Cons: "Prices should be discounted for being in the last row (e.g., seats don't recline), especially on a 5 hour red-eye that was packed. These are the narrowest seats and aisles I've ever experienced in over fifty years of commercial flying, and that includes Asiana. No food offered, even for purchase. One flight attendant was sarcastic with me with no provocation on my part."
Pros: "Very friendly staff. Easy flight, no issues."
Cons: "Little more leg room. Eye mask would have been nice."
Pros: "The crew was the most polite, calm and reassuring crew I've ever come across. When faced with the mounting frustrations of a cabin full of delayed passengers, these guys were smooth as silk. Bravo!"
