Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable I slept 30 min at a time on my 14hr flight. The food is nice but a bit bland the first time its amazing but after more than 2 planes mix it up plz"
Pros: "Staff are great and on board service was good. Boarding is always well organised from Changi however it was a full flight and as always half the passengers exceeded their carry on allowance. Rather than addressing this bags were flung everywhere no nowhere within your actual reach during the flight. Very annoying when you are a passenger who does the right thing."
Cons: "See above. No in flight entertainment makes you feel like you're flying with the low cost carrier rather than a full service airline."
Pros: "In general it was all very good - I flew Premium Economy but I didn’t see much difference at all between that and Economy. There was a bit more leg room but that was about it, Having said that Singapore Airlines overall is pretty good - toilets kept nice and clean and everyone well taken care of."
Pros: "Excellent crew"
Cons: "My seat was very hard"
Cons: "With no food preferences specified, it takes a significantly longer time to get your meal as there are a lot of people who have special dietary requirements on certain routes."

Cons: "THE WEBSITE LISTS PRICES IN SINGAPORE DOLLARS AND IT IS ONLY IN THE FINAL STAGES OF A BOOKING IS ONE TOLD WHAT THE US $ PRICE IS. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. WHEN YOU CALL SINGAPORE AIRLINES THERE ARE VERY LONG WAIT TIMES."
Pros: "The business class bed was the best I have yet encountered. The food and service were great. And the stews? Gorgeous and so agreeable. One young lady even helped me with my back injury; turns out she was studying physical therapy. You can't find a better ride than that,"
Pros: "The service crew served us well. They are friendly and helpful"
Cons: "Too many Indian movies"
Pros: "Efficient boarding and arrival"

Pros: "Crew was nice"
Cons: "Aircond isn’t working at seat 60 onwards. Warm. Sweaty."
Pros: "Delayed flight from Shanghai due to air traffic issues, so I had a 10 minute window to make my connection in Singapore. Ground staff was waiting for me with a small car after I disembarked to drive me to the gate. And I somehow made my connection. Excellent service. Obviously my checked bag didn't make it, but I was told in advance and was kept updated before boarding and immediate after I disembarked at my final destination. When I went to the baggage service counter, they were already ready for me, had filled out my paperwork, and just needed an address to confirm the delivery of my suitcase. I'm super impressed to this attention to detail."
Pros: "Some of the Korean food was tasty The flight wasn't full so we had a spare seat between us, That made economy barely tolerable."
Cons: "The seats in economy are now Way TOO SMALL! You better start calling Economy - "Stearage"! Food was not as good as on past flights with SA. Movie selection not as good as past SA flights. Earphones supplied are horrible!!!"
Pros: "Good reliable SQ service"
Cons: "I got the seat with communications box on the floor under the seat in front... no foot room :-("
Pros: "The crew is friendly and helpful"
Cons: "Equipment rather poor, screen isn't very clear, hard to read subtitles."
Pros: "Overall treatment of boarding & crew staff was courteous, friendly & helpful. Movies selections were great but I was too tired to watch."
Cons: "Food can be improved. Couldn't eat pork or shrimps, so wished they served either vegetarian or chicken noodles instead of pork or stuff with shrimps. Fish, chicken, beef, or vegetarian options are better options."
Pros: "Had good experience on Bangalore sfo return journey. In particular your ground staff and aboard the flight were so warm and receptive. Only thing is that seating in the economy class could a little more better. Thnx SA"
Pros: "The air stewardesses took their time to get back to me about a question I posed to them. It took 2 stewardesses and 3 efforts."
Pros: "The hot towels, the legroom in economy, exceptional service. The helpful crew who don't hesitate to help with luggage. The choice of entertainment. The convenience of a direct SFO to SIN flight with a fast connection to Indian cities."
Pros: "Courteous, Professional Crew. Amazing Service."
Pros: "Attentive Staff - Fabulous"
Cons: "Delayed two and a half hours! Scheduled flight to take off at 0010hours was already a no brainer. Taking off at 0330hours is a killer!"

Pros: "Flight arrived earlier than expected and the flight attendants were good and polite."
Cons: "old facilities"
Pros: "Great food, friendly staff, on time... what else do you need?"
Pros: "Hot/Cold towels, great movie selection, more space, good meals"
Pros: "Comfortable seats."
Cons: "We were supposed to fly back to Los Angeles from Tokyo on Wednesday, August 24th. We got to Tokyo Narita a little later than planned due to the Narita Express train being delayed. I had received emails that our flight had changed gates, and was then delayed, but when my sister and I went to check into our flight, we were told we were unable to board because it was too late. I thought it was absurd because the flight had not even started boarding, and I had gotten an email saying it was delayed. We tried to reason with them, but they would not let us on the flight. It was imperative that we got back to Los Angeles on Wednesday, but all our plans were ruined due to them bumping us off the flight. My sister had a connecting flight to Boston, which she then had to reschedule and was charged for. We were stuck another night in Tokyo, where we had to spend money on a hotel. The Singapore Airlines attendants eventually informed us that we could get on a flight the next day. This delayed us by 24 hours, which was highly inconvenient. It was also especially unnecessary since due to the flight being delayed, we would have absolutely been able to make it. I do not appreciate being bumped off of a flight due to airlines wanting to make more money, especially being stuck overseas. Its not like it was a domestic flight where we could just hop on another one in the next few hours, this totally derailed all of our plans. I do not appreciate the inflexibility of the Singapore Airlines agents, and this is not an experience that makes me want to recommend flying with Singapore Airlines. I appreciate that they did not charge us, however it was a major inconvenience that could have simply been avoided by better customer service and understanding."
Cons: "The entertainment was poor"
Pros: "SGN-SIN is normally less than two hours. Business class very comfortable. I did not use the entertainment system -- it had trouble starting, by the way. Crew very attentive to passengers' needs."
Cons: "The aircraft had landed on time. Why does it take so long to start boarding? Of course the delay in take-off snowballed, more delays were added circling the airport of SIN."
Cons: "charge a few $ more but serve some food on a 5 hour flight. very cold feeling"
Cons: "The crew members is not very detail oriented. Almost forgot to give our whole row of people without dinner. Don't they remember where they left off sheesh. I work at a hotel before and customer service all my life, I don't think I will make that mistake."
Cons: "Waited 55 minutes for baggage claim in Auckland. No reason given. I expect better service from Air New Zealand even though I understand the baggage handler’s are different group"
Pros: "Entertainment and board WiFi excellent"
Cons: "Boarding was a surprise, at least 200 m walking in the light rain, no previous warning."
Cons: "Breakfast was not tasty. Options could have been better."
Pros: "The crew was wonderful, very hospitable and friendly."
Cons: "The seating in economy class is abysmal. The seats are extremely small and the rows are to close together. There is no leg room. The seat cushioning is almost nonexistent. It's like sitting and leaning back on a board. On this last trip I had a window seat. I'm 5'4" and 115 lbs."
Pros: "Business class lay-flat seats and a private cubby."
Cons: "Boarding required a bus ride to a distant terminal rather than direct boarding from the terminal."
Cons: "More leg room"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Not being scammed on bag charges."
Pros: "The seats are comfortable. I was fortunate to have a gap in the middle seat. On my flight there was a delay due to a person needing to disembark before the flight took off. The flight dealt with the person inconsiderately and explained to everyone the reason for the delay."
Cons: "Nothing. The flight was efficiently run and seats comfortable."
Pros: "New Zealand Air staff were friendly, informative and courteous throughout the entire flight! I was floored by their service and by what was offered. They even worked to arrange for people to move around (some were packed 4 to a row, but there was plenty of space throughout the craft)."

Pros: "The service was fantastic"
Cons: "The plane was very cold inside they need keep the cabin warner"

Pros: "the staffs and the boarding experienve"

Cons: "That is didn’t happen until the next day"
Pros: "Legroom"
Cons: "Late"
Pros: "Reliable service. Flew Air NZ twice without any hiccups. Boards on time, leaves on time. Get a biscuit (cookie), drink, and sweet. Had room on both flights also. Not packed to the gills and enjoyed the aerial view of the lovely NZ countryside."
Cons: "Nothing... didn’t give 5 star due to no monitor/tv for entertainment but with such a short flight it really isn’t necessary."
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."
Pros: "Wonderful employees"
Pros: "Entertainment options were of great variety and easy to use"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "bummed I couldn't even opt in or purchase wifi. being sel-employed and having such long flight - its just a missed opportunity."

Pros: "Very friendly and accommodating staff. Good food, comfortable seats, and excellent entertainment choices."
Pros: "Everything was ok."
Cons: "The Auckland airport is the closest I have ever been to burning in hell."
Cons: "All the staff were in the lounge meaning paid users were turned away. Upgrade denied by staff working in lounge because all staff had been allocated the business class seats. Staff should be bumped for paying airpoints members."
Pros: "Food service"
Pros: "Everything was excellent , no complaints at all. Staff friendly and efficient,food was pretty good , wine nice good flight ."
Cons: "Not enough good new release movie selection was very average/ poor. Your boarding from LAX could be improved. You have two signs about Premium and economy lines for boarding! These are not obvious . There needs to be a staff member or two checking people as they arrive in a line to check they're in the correct t line . Otherwise people don't trailer until they have been in the wrong line until the reach the top of the line . Leads to frustration even before the flight begins! Otherwise great job everyone ! Thank You !"
Pros: "We were allowed to check one bag for free...that's awesome. And we were provided with two full meals on the flight, more food than we could eat. And even a complimentary alcoholic drink! Great selection of movies. New Zealand Air is one of the best flying experiences I've had"
Pros: "everything! Leg room, priority boarding even though we boarded close to last, snacks. That safe feeling :)"
Cons: "nothing!"
Cons: "The staff asked for my return ticket to the U.S. I told them I have a round trip ticket from and to Japan. I have to show them my U. S. Navy identification card otherwise Air New Zealand would not have processed my boarding pass ticket. Air New Zealand discriminates."
Cons: "the person next too me was overflowing in their seat so much they took up a quarter of my spot.. it was not work making the flight uncomfortable by making a stink about it but I paid for a whole seat not 3/4 of one!"
Cons: "Just a bit cramped"

Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Flight had gluten free meals. Crew was professional"
Cons: "45 minutes late so missed connecting flight. While anz booked me on the next flight, international flights shouldn't be that late"
Pros: "We flew premium economy. The staff was wonderful great first experience! I really wish the other three crews could have kept this momentum going as my other flights with ANZ were less than thrilling! The flight attendant staff was phenomenal on my iah to akl leg. My crew on the akl to iah leg. Brandon gave the initial intro and seemed to follow the original crews standards. Unfortunately, we had an older flight attendant who seemed less than thrilled to be with us this flight."
Cons: "I wish I could give a true rating of ANZ as their crews apparently don't follow any protocol for providing the same exceptional service received on my maiden flight with them."
Pros: "It was s safe flight."
Cons: "I didn't feel valued and appreciated. Poor options for complementary food service."
Pros: "Crew helpful, congenial."
Cons: "Anticipated more legroom based on seat chart diagram."
Cons: "Nobody believes in offering decent food anymore. Flying was so much better 25 yrs ago. Soon we will have to pay to use the toilet."
Pros: "Staff and the cleaninless of the plane."
Cons: "On time!"
Pros: "The dreamliner from JFK to China was a real pleasure the plane and crew were excellent food not really to my liking but ok,"
Pros: "Helpful friendly staff serving on a clean, modern plane, with meal service on even two hour (international) flight. Great value."
Cons: "Most flight attendants have only limited English ability, but it’s enough for basic communication. Very friendly and helpful in Chinese though!"
Cons: "Seats on plane were small and uncomfortable. Checking in to flight was awful."
Pros: "The crew was good and spoke reasonable English."
Cons: "We boarded the plane on time and left the gate then waited for 40 minutes after the scheduled departure time to take off. There were no individual entertainment screens."
Pros: "very Good service"
Pros: "Helpful staff both on ground and in the air"
Cons: "- The plane supposedly has free wifi :) :) :) but this is too good to be true. After a long and complicated procedure “all free wifi passes are gone, try again next time”. Someone said there are only 70 passes for the entire plane. - Similar experience with “free wifi” Guangzhou’s Bayun airport if you don’t have a Chinese simcard in your phone. - Navigating China Southern’s website for online check-in is a nightmare."
Cons: "Bags lost."
Cons: "One of my 2 check-in bags is not with me on the same flight. Although it was delivered to me next day, it still caused me some inconvenience."
Cons: "We had to stay overnight in Guangzou because our connecting flight to Los Angeles left already coz of delays."
Pros: "The flight crew. Excellent"
Cons: "Both ways through Guangzhou my flight was changed proving tricky without any Mandarin skills."
Pros: "movies"
Cons: "no directions to the hotel during our layover. No English spoken at the hotel! Very confusing."
Pros: "New planes"
Cons: "Service was spotty"
Cons: "Guangzhou airport transfer was uncomfortable expensive and won’t be traveling via this airport again"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "worst food, service and we also didn't received our bags"
Cons: "Me and many customers on CZ 371 lost our baggages during the transit in Guangzhou. Still no update on lost and found yet."
Cons: "It was a horrible flight for me will never travel again with you guys"

Cons: "They didn’t have sparkling water!"
Cons: "Very good"
Pros: "All crew members are extremely friendly and helpful."

Pros: "On time departures and arrival"
Cons: "The food not enough to eat"
Pros: "Great flight and awesome views."
Cons: "My bags are still not with me, I have filed a report and sent an email to China Southern. Not sure what to do next, i have nothing to wear."
Pros: "I like frankly low cost"
Cons: "I dont like old flight and food."
Cons: "Could not reserve a seat ahead of time and the website was impossible. But once on the flight, all was good. But I agree with others that the seats are very hard. This was business class and a 15 hour flight."
Pros: "They provided accommodation for the layover I had in Shenzhen for free, the service is good and the crew as well! Would fly with them again!"
Cons: "the flight left 45 minutes late, food was bad"
Cons: "4 hour delay without sufficient reason, Uncomfortable seat."
Pros: "na"
Cons: "na"
Cons: "The flight is to late to leave Shanghai and the people in the airplane all the time was angry with me and with bad face to give anything. I hope my fly to Canadian be different."
Pros: "I thought that the trip was fast and everyone was efficient.I"
Cons: "I expected that I would have the priviledge to check in 2 bags but was informed that I had to pay 400+rmb extra last minute to include my 2nd bag. The zipper on my suitcase had been opened by someone and now will not properly close after I retrieved my bag when I arrived in Incheon International airport in South Korea. I hope that I will not have problems with my suitcase when I complete the last 2 parts of my trip back to the U.S. from Korea"
Cons: "They missed on friendliness. The welcome is rehearsed and not sincere. The stewardess do their job without smiling. Need more training."
Pros: "The Cabin was clean, seats were new, usb charging port was a nice touch."
Cons: "The food was really poor."
Pros: "nice onboard entertainment system."
Cons: "lost my luggage ;-("
Pros: "The plane was nice and the flight was smooth."
Pros: "We departed 50 minutes late but still arrived on time. Great entertainment options made the flight go by quickly (also, slept for the first half). It's not super comfortable in economy, but it's completely fine for economy and you get what you pay for. Attendants were also reasonably nice, nothing that stands out good or bad. We got the Asian vegetarian meal and it was pretty good for airplane food -- two Indian-style meals served at either end of the flight."
Cons: "Not much to complain about. I think people forget that if you're paying $700 for an economy roundtrip to a Tier 2 city in China (SFO - CKG), this is a great deal and a very decent delivery overall."
Pros: "All good."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "I love the amenities provided by this airline. They give you pillows, blankets, headphones, and magazines. I love the attentiveness of the staff. They provide drinks, meals, and snacks during the scheduled time. If you need something else, then they are happy to help you. The staff really helped us with the temporary visa process during our layover in Wuhan!"
Cons: "My entertainment monitor was not working during the flight to Guangzhou. I listened to music on my own device for entertainment."
Pros: "The seats were comfortable and the cabin crew helpful. The entertainment options were pretty varied and there were lots of options either in English or with English subtitles."
Cons: "The food was pretty bad. I was assigned a center seat even though the aisle seat next to me was vacant, so I took that one anyway. The bathroom situation was the worst part. I don't think there were enough on the plane, and other passengers were taking way too long in the bathroom. When one passenger decided economy class passengers weren't allowed to use one of the toilets, the staff did nothing. That was frustrating. :/"
Pros: "Very few or none options for none red meat eaters."
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "The cabin crew were quick to answer all of my requests. Blanket, coffee, coke, water."
Cons: "We had a bulkhead behind us and our seats didn't seem to have the full angle for recline."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "No entertainment Chinese dishes , alternative Russian .?"
Pros: "1. The food was actually very tasty 2. The crew was nice for the most part 3. The price I paid was decent $496 for one way from Manila to SF"
Cons: "1. The seats were too close together and not comfortable. The arm rests were too short and my elbows kept pushing the overhead light on. 2. The audio jacks was broken so I had to jiggle the headphones in the socket to get the audio to work and even then it wasn't good so I just gave up on watching a movie 3. They don't allow use of cell phones even in airplane mode"
Pros: "I am trying to think of something positive to say but nothing is coming to mind."
Cons: "Flight was delayed. Staff was unorganized and had no clue what was going on. flight was delayed again and again but the staff at the gate neglected to inform the customers who were waiting for hours what wasn't going on. And to top it off, they couldn't speak English..."
Pros: "direct flight from NYC to Guangzhou"
Cons: "difficult to select seat"
Pros: "Flights to the interior are always late, and so I was pleasantly surprised that this was not too late!"
Cons: "Food is typically not very good...pack your own!"
Pros: "The on-board staff was friendly. Wish I had more good things to say."
Cons: "Delays seem to be a hallmark of this airline. I could go on for pages about the lack of communication from this airline and how they made me have to stay in a hotel because of a delay, but the less said the better. What exactly are the qualifications for being a member of the SkyTeam? On-board entertainment? I just want TIMELY, safe and comfortable flights. Frills are nice, but not necessary, and do NOT make up for not consistently delivering these priorities. Not allowing the use of cell phones in airplane mode on-board was mildly inconvenient also. Having more than one bathroom on the planes would also be appreciated."
Cons: "the flight was delayed and we ended up staying at the airport for more than 12 hours to wait for the next flight."
Pros: "4 hours delay"
Cons: "Like always, never tells you why the plane is delayed for boarding. Flight end up left PVG 2+ hr late."
Pros: "Flight got delayed that would have missed my connecting flight. Would have need to stay over night at the layover airport. Cancelled the flight altogether and took a different airline to my destination. Having difficulty getting the refund."
Cons: "Overall service and management."
The flight is awful, food isn’t very tasty or good, entertainment sucks

Cons: "A330-300 is nice"
Cons: "The selection was rather dated as I travel very frequently I noticed it. Otherwise it would probably be fine for most"
Pros: "we had extra legroom travelling with an infant"
Cons: "the staff could have been a little considerate when serving food to you while you're holding a sleeping baby"
Cons: "The flight attendants didn't ask me if I need ice cream or any drink but they asked another seat of passages. It's not fair..."
Pros: "Crew are nice,but the seat need to improve"
Cons: "The seat need to improve"
Pros: "The crew was excellent, however I had a very serious problem upon checking in as I DISCOVERED AM NOT ALLOWED A SINGLE KG OF LUGGAGE.THE AIRLINE ASKED ME TO INFORM THE AGENT WHO DID NOT MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN I WAS BUYING THE TICKET.THAT HAS COST ME A LOT OF ANXIETY AND BIG$$"
Cons: "TICKETS ON SALE THAT HAS NOT LUGGAGE MUST BE CLEARLY STATED THAT NO LUGGAGE ALLOWED"
Pros: "Price were amongst the cheapest"
Cons: "Terrible cabin cleaness and rude crew members. Nothing matches the Malaysian hospitality promoted."
Pros: "This flight nothign"
Cons: "Major delay, should have offered passengers water or beverages. Food was very poor, no assistance for transfer on late flight."
Cons: "Seat, food, service"
Cons: "aircraft a bit old and my remote control was broken, lunckily my next seat was not occupied, so I can move to next seat and the seat a bit old and decline angle so limit. if compare with business class seat of other airlines, it's a bit not up to standard."

Cons: "The beer offered was in a pre poured glass I could have asked for a beer from the drinks trolley however i wanted a vodka and tomato juice I couldn't see any so didn't bother asking"
Pros: "Food provided in Mumbai to KL flight was satisfactory."
Cons: "In flight from Mumbai to KL, requested orange juice was never served. Insufficient toilets in aircraft. Appeared that toilet numbers were compromised with additional seats so to gain more profit. Also toilets far away from the seats. Long queues 3 x 3 seating arrangement is hopeless for 5 hour journey as person at window needs to disturb both middle and aisle seat holder."
Pros: "The seat I got was certainly comfortable enough."
Cons: "The staff was not enough particular in delivering appropriate food to correct people. In flight KL to Auckland, vegan food was served when Indian vegetarian food was requested. Long queues at boarding in KL."
Cons: "Similarly delayed departure and arrived at HongKong over 11/2 hour later- poor service!"
Pros: "Easy and efficient boarding"
Cons: "Too hot onboard"
Cons: "The crew at the check in counter were generally helpful and courteous, however the staff on the flight we're often short or generally rude; thus continuing the airlines reputation for poor service. The food wasn't great either, but we knew to expect this and brought food purchased from Sydney airport (which was a saving grace)!"
Pros: "There was not much entertainment for kids .. and a"
Cons: "Food was not at all good.. there was not any food at dinner for vegetarians and also for breakfast"
Pros: "They provided us with a hotel to stay in until everything was arranged."

Pros: "Friendly and helpful crew"
Cons: "food was horrible"
Pros: "I like the fact that they know I am Enrich Gold member and took the effort to address me by name even when I am flying economy."
Cons: "Food is still the reason why I don't eat much onboard. The food is better now, but still could be improved..."
Pros: "Quick on and off boarding."
Cons: "Food was average at best."
Cons: "The flight was delayed for more than an hour. We had problem getting the attention of the crew as all of them were just hanging around the galley."
Cons: "The queue to board the plane was very long due to the fact that there was only one person doing the check-in. It will make things more pleasant if they have two people instead of one person."
Pros: "Not enough elbow space between fat passengers"
Pros: "Peanuts"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Second flight was quite empty and the plane was in much better shape"
Cons: "My checked bag did not arrive at my work city of Singapore. It took 2 days to be brought to my hotel despite my being told they would be on the next flight. I arrived back in Denpasar yesterday and, again, my bags are lost and I again I was told they would be on the next flight. I still do not have my bag. Seems to be a pattern with Malaysian Airways and I will avoid them in the future, Also, I left my Ipad plugged in at the Premier Lounge in Denpasar and realized it as I was boarding the plane. The Malaysian Air boarding staff got on radios and appeared to try to help by telling them to put aside for pick up upon my return. Yesterday, The Premiere lounge said they did not have it despite my name, email and phone number being written on the Ipad. Between Malaysian Air and the Lounge and their lack of concern and professionalism it was not a good trip. As One World Emerald member, I steer a lot of business towards these One World Airlines. I expect better treatment."
Cons: "They damaged MY OVER 400 Euro suitcase handle and said that they dont take any responsibility!!!"
Cons: "Had to change gates last minute in Kuala Lumpur. Since security is at the gate, that meant going through security twice. When we went to the new gate there was much confusion among security staff as they were not informed of the gate change."
Pros: "Easy to get my boarding pass at the Changi airport. Seating was nice. Not many passengers in this flight."
Cons: "The magazine in my seat pocket was dirty."
Pros: "MH389 on 10-Jun'17, cabin crew member (王怡芳), has been very attentive, provide excellent service."
Cons: "Pudong airport ground stuff requested for Singapore identity card; soft copy was presented, both identity and re-entry permit issued by Singapore government. They were not clear, hesitate, call around. By the time they found out what is required, we already spent close to 90 minutes. If it is not due to flight delay, we left with very little time to clear the immigration, security screening and locate where the gate is."
Pros: "On time departure system works"
Pros: "Staff are courteous"
Cons: "Departure was delayed an hour"
Pros: "The food was nice."
Cons: "Nothing special on this flight. Entertainment system didn't actually work at the beginning for everyone on board and had to be rebooted. you would think everything would be thoroughly checked prior to a flight. It started to work about an hour later into the flight."
Cons: "Second flight in a row for a one hour flight and we are delayed one hour. Better just go with a low cost airline then"
Pros: "I love flying with MAS"
Cons: "I don't like Tax Refund Customs Verification"
Pros: "Crew were friendly and professional."
Cons: "Cue to check-in was ridiculous! Employ more staff so that the wait time is comparable to other airlines. Alcohol - why is there no alcohol on the KUL/BKK leg? I thought that this was an international flight."
Pros: "Flights seat is comfortable"
Cons: "Delay and boarding at very last minute."
Pros: "Crew was kind"
Cons: "Very bad smell in the cabin, and not very clean"
Cons: "We don't recive the e-tkt only the reservition"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Collection of headsets, too long at the tarmac before take off."
Pros: "Was a good flight as usual."
Cons: "Food is too salty, can’t even eat ."
Pros: "Business class was comfy"
Cons: "Movie choices could be better"
Pros: "Crew was amazing! Slept much of the flight after lunch. Punctual!"
Pros: "The entertainment system was good."
Cons: "We have a 4 month old and we were the first ones to check in but all bassinet seats were booked. No one was even using them for bassinets. Not sure if they paid extra for those seats to have leg room but we had to hold the baby for 15 hours. They couldn’t do anything for us."
Cons: "Busted infotainment screen. A perfunctory apology was offered after the flight had landed. None of the crew had any level of proficiency in English and shied from interacting with non-Chinese passengers. And finally, 10-abreast seating on the Boeing 777 is a nightmare."
Pros: "Crew was friendly. Plane was nice. Food was good."
Pros: "Crew still managed to provide me the veg meal, even though they didn't get the request."
Cons: "Type of food I chose on the website was not ordered with the airlines."
Pros: "For a budget airline, it was an excellent flight, on time, reasonably good seats, with vegetarian food as ordered."
Cons: "It was slightly disorganized, with not a lot of smiles from the crew, but it was fine anyway. I wish food portions were a little larger."
Pros: "Flight was on time and efficient. Crew was polite, professional and efficient. In other legs of this trip the experience was not so good. On this leg, however, I noticed that the crew was very accommodating to the passengers and never seemed bothered by special requests."
Cons: "Food was okay. We ordered 4 different types of vegetarian meals, but only received on type of vegetarian meal. Movie selection was not great, but I still appreciate that each seat has its own personal on demand video screen."
Pros: "Temperature on the plane was finally right. Food service was quick."
Cons: "Food options not as good as flight over from the states."
Pros: "Boarding was fast and efficient. Flight was on time leaving and arriving. Meal service was efficient."
Cons: "Crew wasn't rude but wasn't overly friendly. They seemed responsive. A bit stingy on the drinks (I only had water and each time got only 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup). We pre-ordered vegetarian meals and they did supply them, but they got the orders wrong (we ordered different types of meals and only got one type). The biggest issue is the layover. China Eastern does not supply a hotel for long layovers. We applied from their website beforehand, but they canceled the hotel program. They did supply vouchers for food which was nice, but in Terminal 1 there is no resting lounge to lie down or clean up in, except for the VIP lounges which we didn't have access to."
Pros: "I don’t like anything"
Cons: "Food,customer service,entertainment and comfort"
Cons: "My flight from guangzhou landed 20 minutes befoe the the flight from shanghai to orlando would leave. there were total of 12 passangers and they did not bother delaying that flight by just 20 mins. To get new booking on ticket it took over 2 1/2 hours."
Pros: "12 hrs went by fast, I was comfortable in my window seat, great movie selection and edible food!"
Pros: "No much."
Cons: "We wanted to upgrade to business class, but were told we could only do it once on board. On board you could only upgrade if you had cash; they didn't take credit cards. There were no snacks and the food served was mediocre at best. Shanghai Pudong Airport is a horrible airport and the day we were there they were not letting anyone out of the airport that has less than 24 hours between flights. We had to sit in that horrible airport with no wifi for 12 hours! Miserable!"
Cons: "No personal entertainment console - only the screen that flips down from the ceiling every 10 rows or so. Made the 7 hour flight seem like forever."
Pros: "Good selection of movies"
Cons: "The food were not fresh and ill prepared"
Pros: "Crew was very friendly, TV/movies were good, and food was tasty."
Cons: "Bathrooms didn’t include things like toothbrushes that make other flights a little bit better."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I was cleared from San Francisco. When tried to re-check in in Shanghai, I was stopped and told that my luggage is over weight. They wanted me $200 for the additional weight. I threw lots of stuff there, since I decided not to pay a penny. They were rude, and arrogant"
Pros: "the pleasantries"
Cons: "the unpleasantries"
Cons: "The staff was not helpful and unfriendly. Food was horrible and no options. We payed for extra leg space and it turned out it was not the case and we had no option in flight to buy space , furthermore would had cost 2 time more then any other airline. Entertainment was mediocre. Very high fees to change a flight. We will not fly with this company again, and do not recommend unless stress is what you looking for."
Pros: "Complimentary in flight wifi"
Cons: "Couldn’t use iPhones... even on airplane mode"
Pros: "No delay and arrived on time"
Cons: "Connecting flight took too long"
Cons: "No one to assist my friends enter the plane. No one to help with hauling minor carryon baggage up the outdoor staircase. Very difficult and no offer at all for anyone in a party of six to help. No lift and no one offered assistance in business class to help at all.once on the plane service was outstanding. Passengers in 70s and 80’s and no knowledge of the need to to climb stairs and without any assistance. Attendants watched the elderly struggle."
Pros: "My first class cabin was dirty"
Pros: "Good food. More comfortable the aboard."
Pros: "China Eastern’s business class is a significant cut below all others I have tried. Headsets are cheap, food portions small and uninteresting, crew forgot my requests. Lay flat bed was comfortable. Air fare was cheap but don’t expect luxury."
Pros: "Our flight was just fine. The food was about what you'd expect on an airplane, the crew was friendly and helpful. I was surprised that we couldn't even turn our phones on during the flight, although this makes sense to me. Unfortunately, I had loaded up all my books on my phone and not my tablet. Overall, about what you'd expect and not deserving of the negative reviews I've seen."
Pros: "The entertainment selection was good."
Cons: "I asked if I could have a aisle or window seat and was told there was nothing available at the counter, however there were plenty of seats available on the plane."
Cons: "The flight was delayed for half an hour, and then waited in the plane for another three hours before take off. I guess a few hours of delay is normal when you fly in China. The passengers waited seating in the plane for more than 3 hours not knowing the reason of the delay nor when will it take off. There were no choice of meal. The meal was very basic and was with too authentic flavor and material. Rice was undercooked and compressed in rectangular shape probably by food producing machine. No individual grains can be seen. There were no individual monitors or entertainment available, but understandable, considering that it is a two and a half hour flight."
Pros: "Good seats. Pretty hostesses. Good food. Very nice aircraft."
Cons: "No complaints."
Pros: "We got snack and drink for a short flight with big smiles"
Pros: "Pleasant trip for the most part, friendly crew, easy boarding"
Cons: "Can't use phone, headphones provided don't fit entertainment systems on seat backs, so no way to watch"
Pros: "The crew gave us sandwiches while we were waiting to take off."
Cons: "It was very uncomfortable sitting and waiting 2 hours for takeoff. It would have been better to wait for boarding so that we could be more comfortable. The temperature on the plane sometimes got very hot."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Terrible service. No one understands or even cares about customer service. Almost always delayed and good likelihood of being cancelled with no accommodation arrangements. Food is hard to eat and most often starting to rot. Just a bad, bad airline."
Pros: "Food"
Cons: "No place to put legs up for swelling"
Cons: "The staff are incredibly rude. I was not given any food to eat because I was a vegetarian. The staff told me , " so dont eat"! The entertainment was lousy. I will never fly with this airline again!"
Pros: "The plane left on time, arrived on time, the staff was friendly enough, the food was good - it was nothing extraordinary but it did the job"
Cons: "China Eastern Airlines is not made for tall people. I'm 6'2" and I was very cramped."
Pros: "Nothing to complain about regarding seats, service etc. It was all pretty basic services and amenities, so don't expect extras or anything exceptional."
Cons: "As we were boarding the aircraft, we were required to dispose of all liquid drinks (water, teas, etc). This was well after going through security. Many passengers, including myself, had to leave our unopened bottles of water in a basket in order to board. A waste of money and resources. The food was mediocre at best on the flight."
Pros: "The plane didn't crash"
Cons: "Everything other than the plane didn't crash"
Cons: "Board was terrible and felt very rushed. You really need to pay attention in shanghai. Because the boarding happened 10 minutes before the scheduled departure we ran behind schedule and hat to wait hours on the tarmac to take off. Plane was old with now entertainment. And once again they lost my bag some how"
Pros: "Seats were roomy but very worn"
Cons: "The boarding process is terrible, airport staff is terrible, plane crew was very attentive and patient. They have a hard time informing status of delays."
Cons: "The flight was scary because of the turbulence almost during the whole flight. The pilot was pressing on the brakes hard after landing. Not a lot of choices for food."
Pros: "Attentive stagf, but less attentive than previous flight."
Cons: "1. Couldnt use mobile phone for reading only (mobile phones had to be completely switched off). I wont be flying China Eastern because of this rule. 2. Business class seats where not good (poor adjustment, too far from TV, no window accesible without getting out of seat) 3. Boarding and unboarding on tarmac was inconvenient. 4. Movie selection not up to date"
Cons: "The customer service relations at the front desk to check in word is awful and unfriendly the flight was uncomfortable the entertainment controller does not work 90% of the time it was just a bad experience flying with you in general"
Pros: "I recently flew business class from shanghai to moscow with china eastern airlines. About the only thing that was good about this flight was the price and the flight arrived on time. The cabin crew was also very attentive. This airline needs to seriously reconsider catching up with modern times."
Cons: "Took code share Shanghai airlines to moscow. When the plane pulled up it was nice and shiny with brand new paint job. But that's where the good impression ended. Once on board I found myself on what was probably one of the oldest 767's I've ever flown on. And whats worst, it looked liked this plane had never been cleaned. Not from the day before, but since new! Totally disgusting. Old style reclining seats(no lay flat). Shockingly no entertainment system. Almost all carriers have TV in coach now!! Food was below average at best. But the worst part were the pilots.....because I was sitting in business class there was a constant smell of cigarette smoke wafting through the cabin from the pilots who were smoking in the cockpit. That was fine in the 70's, but this is 2016!! I guess I can't complain. As the saying goes....you get what you pay for. As for next time, I will stay out of the Wild West known as China Eastern airlines and away from their arrogant pilots who thinking smoking is ok in flight and shell out a couple extra bucks to fly with a proper carrier that respects their customers!!"
Pros: "My staff and crew in Chicago were very friendly and helpful. Once entering Pudong airport I had a very different experience."
Cons: "Upon arrival I had to exit the terminal, get my bags and proceed to recheck everything in. I have never had to do that before on a connecting flight and feel it would have made much more sense to give me both boarding tickets in Chicago. The line to re check in was extremely long and confusing. I was told at the counter due to the wait I missed my flight and would have to speak with a manager. When I waited again in line to speak with a manager they told me I didn't miss my flight and to go back to the end of the original line. After waiting again, and speaking with a very rude desk attendent, I waited at the gate an hour past our boarding time and at the last minute our gate was switched with very little warning. There was no information for the flights on the board and most of the time I wasn't even sure where my flight was located. When I spoke with the attendant she would just tell me "in a few minutes." This was before I waited the hour and then switched gates and waited another 45 minutes."
Pros: "nothing. terrible flight and terrible service"
Cons: "crew completely ignored me and was very rude. Didn't offer me anything to drink, forgot to give me food, but offered everyone else around me. Didn't offer me an arrival card and then looked offended when I asked for one. I just wanted a weekend get away to hong kong and I spent more time in the airport and sitting on the plane because of flight delays. WORST FLIGHT EVER. If you value your time and money do not fly China Eastern"
Pros: "Service was good"
Cons: "Food is not great."
Pros: "Plane was newer than expected. All in all, fine for a cross-Pacific flight."
Cons: "But they made me throw away an unopened drink I bought in the terminal before they'd let me board. Then they barely offered drinks at all...about 4 half cups of water over 14 hrs (including 4 hrs on the tarmac for a weather delay). Especially given I was coming down with a cold, made for an uncomfortable flight."
