Airline reviews
Pros: "We had to come home 2 weeks early due to the virus, and Singapore airlines were brilliant at changing the flights. Even got upgraded to the extra leg room for free"
Cons: "The extra leg room seats were naff, I like getting comfy in a chair and these ones were not. The screen was too far away and the arm rests didn’t move. Also, due to my partner having to swap seats, I was sat on my own next to strangers. They slept the whole way, so the crew never disturbed them meaning I missed out on food and drinks, even when asked"

Pros: "The whole business class experience"
Cons: "During the same trip I discovered 2 different arrangements of the Business Class cabin on Singapore Airlines A350, SQ469 CMB-SIN, and SQ036 SIN-LAX. On the SQ469, I occupied seat 12 A (mono, aisle-window): A lot of plastic curved walls etc. For larger persons, the result is not quit comfortable."

Pros: "crew handled the tough crowd well, but were not extremely hospitable"
Cons: "food was disgusting"
Cons: "Having a reservation on Alaska for the first leg of the trip would have been nice. They didn't expect us, we had no confirmation number that Alaska recognized so we were denied boarding. How much else could have gone wrong?"

Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Service, staff, food, and comfort! Def the better Business class seats I've had. This was the A380 and, the first legwas a 770 but that was really great also. Awesome work Singapore Airlines"
Pros: "Again friendly and efficient staff and a smooth flight. Best features of Singapore Airlines."
Cons: "The business class seats were smaller than I thought and not so comfortable as the 777. The seats are hard and ungiving and when you sleep on them you really feel it. Plus the flatbed lay out meant you were basically lying in a question mark position, not so goof for tall people like my husband. The food was good but uninteresting and I think for an overnight flight there should be more smaller,lighter, non spicy options offered rather that full dinners."
Pros: "Clockwork prompt"
Cons: "Mechanical"

Cons: "Terrible food"
Pros: "Staff, food and emenities great for economy class"

Cons: "The flights were always late causing us to miss a connection. Also when purchasing the ticket I was not informed of two extra stops that only showed up when I checked in."
Cons: "Na"
Pros: "Excellent crew services"
Cons: "Entertainment system is rather tired for today’s standard for first tier airlines, in particular the headphone jacks which may not work from wear & tear. It’s a hit & miss whether the sound works or not. Obviously mine didn’t on one side this time. Very frustrating if you are on a long flight and there’s nothing you can do if the flight is full."
Pros: "Service was nice."
Cons: "Comparing to recent businesses class flight on Emirates; Singapore airlines seat does not recline to flat bed. Boarded flight st 11pm and arrived at Singapore at 7am. Toiletries like tooth brush and paste, razor etc. were not provided. Emirates provides, so we did not pack in-flight."

Pros: "Crew service"
Cons: "Very old entertainment system. Poor screen visibility. Cramped"
Pros: "Crew was great. Food not bad for airline food . It was clean."

Cons: "Too warm/hot inside the cabin throughout the flight."
Pros: "Awesome comfort, infotainment, service and food. Was amazed at the value for an economy flight - much better than BA & United in every way."
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: "Staff was the best, always smiling and going beyond expectations to assure you enjoy your flight and I certainly did. Take off was a breeze. Landing a little bumpy but nothing to cry about. I will fly Singapore whenever possible from now on."
Cons: "There was nothing that I didn't like."
Pros: "Reasonable price"
Cons: "Missed flight for medical reasons with 9 month old son, attempted to use remaining onward flight to Europe and return through Swiss which was refused! Most unreasonable, cheating me of my payment. I have since sought legal advice and contacted travel agent regarding, seems case law from several instances in my support. I had to pay thousands for new flight Austrian Air. Swiss thieved my money and I dont mind saying so. Unfair and unfair conduct. I am saving this letter for twitter to tell my friends of my disgust. I will be happy if this is sorted refunded immediately. A copy of these details and medical letter already provided to Jithendra from flight network (online travel agent)."
Pros: "Everything was outstanding. The cleanliness of the airplane, the food, the friendliness of the crew, I just can't say enough good things about my experience flying on Singapore Airlines."
Pros: "The comfortable with pillow & blanket given... Crews are friendly & approachable."
Cons: "The food is average taste... a bit salty :("
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 attendants were helpful, smiling and friendly. The entire time We flew with an 18 month old and they came looking for us before he flight to help us carry our stuff on board. They gave her a toy, asked for her name, and checked on us often. They also gave my husband and I an option for early food service so that one of us could help our daughter eat. The movie selection was great. Take off, flight and landing were smooth. And we arrive half an hour early both directions!"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The cabin attendants kept us well hydrated."

Cons: "No sound on my entertainment system"
Pros: "Spacious, comfortable seat"
Pros: "Great food and fantastic service"
Cons: "Needs more legroom"
Pros: "Everything about this airline was great. It would be impossible to go hungry on this airline. Half the time I can't get a bag of peanuts on a 6 hour flight. On Singapore airlines someone was always there to accommodate you. Best service I've had yet. Highly recommend this airline!"
Pros: "Thank you flight itself was v good but not check in"
Cons: "Check in was terrible Long slow moving lines to just drop a bag! Can definitely improve as it is not like this anywhere any longer"
Cons: "The entertainment was poor"

Pros: "Ground staff were particularly helpful"
Cons: "Seats, food, entertainment"
Pros: "Checking in, bag drop, and boarding were all super fast and easy. Flight was on time."
Cons: "Nothing!"
Pros: "Seat was comfortable (exit row) for a commuter jet."
Pros: "Comfortable seat."
Cons: "Ran out of meal options, flight was delayed so one option breakfast not appropriate at midday. The flight attendant blamed the person in front of me for taking the last other option. I had to clarify with her that meant there was only one option left. She seemed annoyed at me for asking."
Pros: "Everything else."
Cons: "The departure was 20 minutes late (not too much), which delayed the arrival in NZ by the same amount."
Pros: "Very friendly and helpful staff"
Pros: "Very efficient trip."
Cons: "One flight attendant was subdued and not too bubbly."
Pros: "The entire experience is well thought out"
Pros: "I love the entertainment system. The airline attendants uniforms are very colourful."
Pros: "We made it to Christchurch safely and on time."
Cons: "We were charged $120 per checked bag. We couldn’t check in online, so we couldn’t pre-pay at the lower rate. Felt a lot like fraud, honestly."
Cons: "Was not informed a return flight listing required Was not informed $260 baggage fees"
Pros: "A bit late leaving Auckland but we were kept well informed of the changes"
Cons: "Upon arrival we were informed that each checked bag was $60. This was news to us. The NZ flight employee informed us that Air NZ informed us quite well of this info, this the booking agent was at fault."
Pros: "Left on time and arrived on time"
Cons: "ATR seats uncomfortable No food"
Pros: "Very friendly ticket counter staff and flight crew."
Cons: "Booked flight through Kayak on Virgin Australia, but found out it was a codeshare on Air New Zealand. No where during booking did it show we would be charged for 1 checked bag a piece. Got to the airport and Air New Zealand was going to charge 134 AUD for each checked bag. Fortunately, they recommended going to the Virgin Australia counter to see if they could add a checked bag to our ticket. The nice people at Virgin used an online code to give us a discount so we only paid 25 AUD a bag. Thanks a lot for the heads up Kayak. We will book direct next time to avoid surprises. Also, almost all movies on Air New Zealand were an extra charge, and the only drinks offered for free on a 3 hour flight were coffee, tea, and water - no soft drinks."
Pros: "I got there on time"
Cons: "Staff not incredibly nice but OK. The thing that bothered me most is that if you book through KAYAK that sends you to Virgin Australia, you can’t book bag, nor buy a meal if you want. I didn’t want to meal but I did want a bag and it’s a big difference. If you do it online it’s 39 Australian dollars, but if you do it at the airport it’s AU$160. That’s just outrageous and the staff was not helpful at all"
Pros: "Good flight. Good crew. An overall good experience"
Pros: "Was a huge help when my connecting flights didn’t link up due to flight delay, I was so stressed but every single person with air nz helped to make it as easy as possible and were so friendly!"
Cons: "Nothing at all!"
Pros: "Booked these flights though Kayak. Landing from LAX at 0730 at Auckland international terminal and then departing at 0900 from the domestic terminal. This is not enough time, doesn’t allow for customs and immigration. It was a really stressful experience running between terminals with my luggage, as there was less than a 1 hour window after getting through customs and immigration, so the bag drop at international wouldn’t accept them. Got to departure gate 12 minutes before plane departure. You need more time to have a good experience !"
Cons: "Not enough time booked by kayak between an international arrival and domestic departure"
Pros: "good entertainment"
Cons: "we purchased a sky couch for an extra $700 and was not put in a skycouch row. I have contacted Air New Zealand and have yet to hear back from them."
Pros: "Nothing really. Smooth boarding.on time departure"
Cons: "Passengers with more than one bag as hand luggage"
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: "Great customer service, from boarding to disembarking. Great care for comfort and needs."
Cons: "Selection of video options on the app entertainment systems."
Cons: "They charged $120 per checked bag- none are included in airfare. Also, no free food."
Pros: "My husbands booking was not processed correctly from the site we booked through, and we didn't notice the mistake until we were checking in. We were at the airport at least 2 1/2 hours before boarding time. The mistake could have been rectified, we were told it would need an email from Virgin to confirm and change the booking. We photographed and sent through passport details. We phoned the booing site, we phoned Virgin, we were put on hold for 25 mins while the booking site phoned Virgin - but Virgin refused to help us out! My husband was not able to board the flight - no refund, no help - and the sad part was, it wasn't for a holiday - it was to visit and help his 87yr old father-in-law who had fallen and cracked his spine. No sympathy from Virgin, VERY DISAPPOINTED!"
Cons: "I was not able to board flight because air new Zealand Staff would not assist."
Pros: "The boarding and on-board service were excellent. Enough free-of-charge entertainment to keep me occupied during the 3-hour flight between SYD and CHC. Plenty of room for carry-on luggage."
Cons: "Felt like I was flying a US carrier - very little room between the rows. I was surprised by this, as I thought that non-US carriers generally don’t pack their planes. I was surprised, but not inconvenienced by this, since it was a morning flight and only 3 hours gate-to-gate."
Pros: "Queenstown/Christchurch: quick and easy. Air New Zealand does a good job."
Cons: "All g."
Pros: "smooth flight, good treats, great legroom and fun crew!"
Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "everythign aboht the trip was great"
Pros: "Comfortable, easy flight."
Cons: "Ground crew not as friendly and helpful as is ANZ standard. Bag check-in is not more efficient. It's a pain for passengers."
Pros: "Everything FA even got our bags out while taxiing into gate"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "When booking, we were unable to choose our seating hence we were not sitting together. At the airport we asked if there was a way they could put the three of us together. Air New Zealand was able to accommodate our request. It was a 12 hour flight. We were very grateful."
Pros: "The inflight seatback entertainment."
Cons: "Tiny seats and no snacks or drinks in flight."
Pros: "Wonderful service from the ground crew. They went beyond the call of duty. Excellent experience. Thanks to everyone"
Pros: "No complaints at all"
Pros: "The plane was not full and luckily i was put into an Economy Couch row, so i got to lay down and get a great sleep. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was lovely."
Cons: "Nothing, as usual excellent service from Air New Zealand."
Pros: "Fantastic crew!"
Pros: "Cool dimmers for window shade; flight attendant notice we did not have headphones and gave us some first class looking ones that really cancels out the noise. Although we had it in the pocket we did not choose to use at that time but she took it upon herself. Staff always friendly."
Pros: "Good Service"
Cons: "I payed $50.00 USD on a seat so I would have a bigger seat. However, when I got into the plane, the lady that was going to be seating next to me asked me if I could change my seat with her husband; which was a regular seat. In order to avoid an awkward 12 hour flight, I agreed to change my bigger seat for a smaller seat. I felt disappointment that Air New Zealand separates parties and leaves room for uncomfortable situations. I really did not know what to do in this scenario, I paid for that seat but was in a way forced to give it a away without any refund in order to avoid 12 hours seating with some stranger's wife."
Pros: "Clean. Enjoyed the entertainment."
Cons: "We took off at 7:30 and were given wsaer. Did not receive food for two hours which would have been fine if we could have had a coffee, tea, cocktail or a wine. We're not offered a drink until after food was served."
Cons: "Can't check in online with a VA per locator. You need an ANZ ONE. You have to call VA and forcefully ask for it. VA totally unhelpful. And when you get the ANZ number, they charge you to book a seat. Any seat."
Pros: "The food was great and so was the service."
Cons: "The ride was a bit bumpy at times. I wish there is a foot rest in front for Economy class, just like Singapore Airline ."
Cons: "Food options!"
Cons: "Airport boarding lounge was ice cold. Staff couldn’t be bothered with it."
Pros: "The seat @ premuim economy is excellent with great amenities. Food was awesome and catered to cutomers diet needs. The crew was great considering the Language barriers."
Cons: "Nothing! Awesome Airline. Would use again when traveling to Asia."
Cons: "The cabin temperature was a bit too warm, I sweated a bit during mid flight from the heat."
Pros: "food and seat are good."
Pros: "Good service, onboard entertainment"
Cons: "Twice now I didn't get the seat I reserved at the time of ticketing."
Cons: "Delayed by two hours. Completely disorganized boarding process. Staff were not service oriented. Would not recommend China airlines to anyone"
Pros: "A Great Crew"
Pros: "Seat was ok. Service was timely"
Cons: "Excellent"
Cons: "The airline ran out of meal choices before reaching row 5 of the economy class. Seat armrest were locked in place and did not pivot up to allow using the adjacent empty seat. The boarding was tedious and slow. Airline officials did not board according to zone numbers printed on the boarding pass."
Cons: "Bus boarding... understandable due to the short-haul nature of the flight- but there was no lack of gates available."
Pros: "They used a more modern plane for the longer haul part of our two flights home from Bali and appreciated the slightly bigger seats for the longer flight. Good inflight entertainment options."
Cons: "Terrible food."
Pros: "good service and food but A330 is too old and small"
Cons: "Food was not as good as I would expect from China Air and they ran out of eggs for breakfast."
Cons: "I had preselected a window seat, but somehow I was “bumped” out of this preselected window seat to a middle seat. I informed this detail to the Air China rep at check in but she would not listen nor care about it. I tried explaining several times, but basically got nowhere. Thanks for listening"
Pros: "Great food"
Cons: "Need more leg room"
Pros: "Food and transfer is great."
Cons: "Flight delays."
Pros: "The staff was nice and very accommodating. The food was good. I was very comfortable the whole time. My ears were fine."
Cons: "I tried a lot of times to check in online but I was never successful."
Pros: "I've never experienced anything than superb customer service from China Airlines. When feasible, I always opt to go with them, even if Kayak suggests a cheaper flight. I was cutting it close with a flight, and their staff walked me through security, baggage, and straight up to the gate (TPE to Okinawa). Highly recommended."
Pros: "Better entertainment."
Cons: "No footrests, skipped at mealtime and flight crew response delayed, not offered arrival form"
Cons: "They have awful customer service and caused me to miss a flight and have to purchase all new flights. I will never use them again."
Pros: "Crew was excellent."

Pros: "It was a great flight There staff were great, even fed us on a 80 minute flight"
Pros: "Service and speed"
Pros: "Beautiful plane, clean and well serviced, unlike American carriers"
Cons: "We were delayed an hour on the tarmac in Taipei with no explanation. I was told there were no aisle seats and when we finished boarding I could see that the attendant on the ground had not been truthful. I did get a bulkhead aisle seat after the doors were closed, but I would like to know the truth from service people."
Pros: "China Airlines has generally been a step above the average. The name is a bit represented as this is really a Taiwan Run and based airline that has been influenced by the western business practice."
Pros: "Fast boarding. Well organized. Good flight attendant crew although they need people with better English. Food was served hot and on schedule. Fair selection of movies. Poor selection of Tv programs"
Cons: "Transiting from One flight to another in Taipei is no easy task. Signage is poor watering lounge features giant rocks for seating and I found out later that there is a proper lounge downstairs. No signage in English to tell you about the seating downstairs. Poor selection of food in terminal. we have to pay for WiFi and when you get it, it's very slow."
Cons: "I need, wheelchair service for this trip but very disappointed the service. I carried my bag to find my seat by my myself. The crew only helped me to put up the bag and my umbrella stick until I asked."
Pros: "Attendants were good"
Cons: "Airplane food. But it doesn't matter what airline you fly on"
Pros: "Flight arrived early"
Pros: "The space between seats was spacious and the internet was available in my flight"
Cons: "The food was bad and the staff was not serving the beverage until my food was almost at the end"
Pros: "Again, great service. Food was very good, and enough leg room even with person in front pushed back."
Pros: "I think it was overall great, and the crew was very nice."
Pros: "The entertainment was excellent, there were so many choices to choose from, it made the long flight less stressful....The Boeing 777-300ER was smooth and quiet for a twin aisle plane of its size. Lavatory was clean most of the time"
Cons: "Even booking 3 months in advance, we could not select the seats. Our seats were assigned while checking in. Thus our family of 3 had to sit apart from each other."
Pros: "The staff was amazing and the movie options were extensive"
Cons: "We departed much later than anticipated and I missed my connecting flight as a result - had to spend an extra 10 hours at LAX until next flight available. The food was terrible, I only ate the fruit!"
Cons: "Food was not that great. I expected more in premium ecconomy"
Pros: "The restrooms were very clean, and I appreciated that some even offered lotion. Staff were friendly and helpful."
Cons: "I felt cold during the flight from Taipei to Los Angeles. I felt warmer with my jacket and two blankets, but it would have been nice to maybe have the air conditioning lower."
Cons: "Airline somehow cancelled our spot on the flight without us knowing, only found out when we were doing the checkin at the airport. What followed was an hour and half of international phone calls to try to sort this mess out. Ended up with us having to go to an airport an hour away to catch another flight so we don't miss our trip. Terrible terrible experience and stressful."
Cons: "It delayed too long and lead to missing my flight from San Francisco to Boston, the line to immigrate was too long and just 1 hour connect flight due to the delayed in Taipei"
Pros: "T has good customer service. Good media selection"
Cons: "The seats are pretty narrow and not enough leg room"
Pros: "Great Taiwanese airline. It's not a Chinese airline despite the confusing name, so there is no safety concern and the passengers are nice and civilized people. Great service similar to other airline from Taiwan (EVA Air)."
Pros: "Crew worked diligently."
Cons: "Couldn't check in online. Was within the 24 hours check in time."
Pros: "Nothing about the flight I can recall was pleasant"
Cons: "From the time we board at Taipei, the gentleman checking our ticket was rude. The flight crew member was not straighten out the customer who are loud and causing trouble for other customer. Seat was uncomfortable and small. I've suffered back pain due to the cramped seating and also my seat reclining was broken, every time I've tried reclining it just snap back. The food was bad, the bun/biscuit was hard when given to us."
Pros: "The premium economy seats had half recline and leg support. the cabin crew were very courteous. They gave an overnight kit similar to business class. Same food as business except servived with plastic utensils and small plastic tray."
Cons: "The boarding area in Taipei was small, crowded and chaotic."
Cons: "missing baggage"
Pros: "For such a short flight it was fine."
Cons: "Boarding was later and leaving the runway was late. It was a late flight already so this made it even more tiring."
Pros: "Would have liked better seats since we are so tall, but overall, very comfortable flight."
Pros: "Comfort seats, new airplane, very friendly service."
Cons: "The food was rather ordinary and the amount of wine I got on this JFK to TPE flight was no more than 2 oz."
Pros: "Flight landing delayed 30min, cutting into transfer time. China Airlines was amazing in making sure I didn't miss it. They moved me up towards the front of the plane and had personnel at jetway to escort me through baggage claim and customs. Thank you for the great customer service!"
Pros: "Professionalism"
Cons: "Baggage Claim"
Pros: "Wouldn’t know as this passenger was not on the flight as he was killed June 2 and the ticket was supposed to have been canceled."
Cons: "Passenger, Damon Barksdale was not on this flight as he was killed June 2, 2019"
Pros: "Nice crew, night food."
Cons: "Old aircraft type, insufficient entertaiment."
Pros: "The crew was really nice."
Cons: "The check-in process was a disaster. First we couldn't check-in online, so we couldn't choose our seats. When we arrived at the airport and asked to be seated together, they said there are no 3 seats together anymore. What's the point of traveling together with friends if we are seated far away?"
Pros: "Crew was communicative. Great entertainment selection"
Cons: "WiFi didn’t work but it was told it may not"
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."
Pros: "fast boarding time Premium Economy"
Cons: "entertainment system keeps crashing even after hard reset, Premium Economy class seat limited space not worth that upgrade. They're switch back to Boeing 777-ER from the new Boeing 787."
Pros: "3 free meals."
Cons: "The flight attendants are dry and unhelpful to others not their own race."
Cons: "Very good and friendly"
Pros: "It is a direct flight."

Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Leg room in economy is tight"
Pros: "The booking was so simple with kayak and the hotel arrangements and follow up for pickup from the airport was excellent The Flight was a short one and the entire staff from jfk airport to the flight attendant was entirely superb"
Cons: "The customs declaration area especially with people coming to do business in China needs more officers to enhance efficiency"
Pros: "movies"
Cons: "no directions to the hotel during our layover. No English spoken at the hotel! Very confusing."
Cons: "Guangzhou airport transfer was uncomfortable expensive and won’t be traveling via this airport again"
Cons: "I selected middle and window seats for each flight so my girlfriend could rest her head on the window and sleep. We were given middle seats and aisle on each of our flights. It’s fristrating that I paid extra to book the seats we wanted and we did not get them."
Pros: "Service and crew were great, they made the 14 hr flight as enjoyable as possible for such a long trip"
Cons: "Baggage didn't come to HCMC on time. CS changed the schedule so the time was too tight to transit which caused lost baggages and unhappy experience."
Cons: "It was a horrible flight for me will never travel again with you guys"
Pros: "Never flown this airline or even come to this part of the world before this trip so had no expectations. But the flight crew was super helpful, courteous, food was good, and flight was pleasant with good entertainment."
Cons: "They didn’t have sparkling water!"
Pros: "Nice crew"
Cons: "Foot room is super small, no entertainment and they wouldn't let you use any electronic device."
Pros: "price"
Cons: "Only allow one piece luggage."
Pros: "The food was better than expected. The service was good."
Cons: "The plane temperature got steadily colder. Was a bit hard to handle."
Pros: "China Southern Airlines flight was very clean, very friendly, and of very good ticket price."
Pros: "One meal for a 90 minutes fly? I am a frequent flyer and this is my first fly that services a meal in a 90 minutes fly"
Cons: "Everything is awesome."
Pros: "Out of Guangzhou (CAN), the food was dreadful. They cannot make decent coffee, either! They did have UHT milk instead of powdered creamer for the coffee, so that was better than usual! Once the flight attendant rebooted my non-functioning entertainment system, it had quite a bit to offer."
Cons: "Seated in the last row, so the seat would not recline so much as an inch. On such a long flight (something over 14 hours), a hard, cramped seat is difficult to endure. Aircraft was filled to bursting, not a single vacant seat. With so many people, boarding could be better organized. Not the most experienced or competent of pilots, either. Could not handle crosswinds landing at JFK, so it was a rather hairy landing, weaving down the runway."
Pros: "Almost everything."
Cons: "It was delayed twice."
Pros: "Great!"
Pros: "Service was on time and efficient. Boarding went smoothly. Crew seemed well trained and attentive."
Cons: "No jetway at the destination gate. We had to wait for the bus late at night. The meal was not very tasty, but China Southern is by no means alone here."
Pros: "Business class seats are newer and comfortable. At 6'5' this is a big deal. Food was good and plentiful"
Cons: "4 hour delay without sufficient reason, Uncomfortable seat."
Pros: "Crew very helpful and friendly. Offered a warmed, *fabric* refreshment "towelette" before serving the "big" meal (rather than a paper towel, not heated)."
Cons: "Plastic "tableware" (knives, forks, spoons)"
Cons: "Delayed flight from LA & my baggages left in Guangzou! I need to go back again to manila airport to pick up the baggages."
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 food is great"
Pros: "Best airline I've been on in a while"
Cons: "Communication on why the plan left."
Pros: "The only positive thing was that the flight was on time."
Cons: "Cabin crew was largely absent. The seats were small and there was no legroom. The food was mediocre, but edible. Alcoholic drinks were limited to a red wine, a white wine, and beer, none of which were good.The bathrooms were quite dirty, though that is more a reflection of the passengers than of the crew."
Pros: "Very few or none options for none red meat eaters."
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "KLMs overall attention to detail from hot towels to regular water or juice to prevent degradation. Welcoming friendly cabin attendants."
Pros: "We were upgraded to the Premium seats which has more leg room so that was nice. Plane needs to have a charger for small electronic devices."
Pros: "I had to cancel my trip, but kayak website does not provide an option to cancel or change the itenarary. I had to forfeit the ticket."
Cons: "The plane was very old"
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "The long flight rather than a straight one"
Pros: "Flight got cancelled last minute. Rebook service was horrrible. The supervisor was very emotional and unprofessional. He was screaming on the phone and refuse to listen saying I already told you what happened this is our policy thats it! At the end they finally rebooked the flight, but the layover was close to 10hrs. I later found out they had a 3hr layover. It could of been a lot smoother. I do not recommend this airline."

Pros: "food was fine"
Cons: "I asked for a cup of coffee. They literally poured me one fourth of a small cup of coffee. When I asked for more, they put about 2 teaspoons more in the cup. Flight attendants shoved against you in the aisles. None of them smiled or were friendly."
Pros: "All of the flight crew spoke enough English to be helpful and kind. All seats come with pillow and blanket. Good and plenty food for an internal flight."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Being held at the gate to deplane, tho this isn't the airlines fault but more pudong airport"
Pros: "In flight movies"
Cons: "Late. Took forever to taxi to gate and then still had to take s bus to gates"
Cons: "My flight had a 16 hour layover in Dalian and it didn't say anywhere before hand that Dalian airport closes at night. I had to sleep outside of the airport."
Pros: "I had an entire row to myself, which was so nice. I enjoyed being able to stretch out and not having to be cramped."
A lot of value considering the cheap ticket prices. All meals served were Chinese food. Would fly them again considering the ticket was half the price of any others
Pros: "The crew was amazing, in the first few hours, they kept serving us, hot towels, drinks, food etc. I really felt pampered. Would fly with them again."
Cons: "Transferring between 3 flights to get to my destination, I had to transfer my suitcases every time. With the security check etc. it was tiring to say the least."
Pros: "The price was nice."
Cons: "The seating was uncomfortable. The flight crew was was rude and were constantly rushing everything. I saw them yank the headphones out of a sleeping mans ears as we prepared for landing 45 minutes early. They didn’t even attempt to wake him."
Pros: "Over booking, no seat for me fight back to LA"
Pros: "Efficacy boarding, good entertainment"
Cons: "Better food and snacks"
Pros: "The crew was polite but service was not quite there. We pick a 2-seat layout so it was OK."
Cons: "The food was poor and only served twice. Once shortly after taking off and another a couple of hours before landing. In a span of 10 to 11 hours there was no offer of drink or food of any kind."
Cons: "The check in counter could open earlier. The line up was long. Our flight leaves at 0210 to Nanjing while the flights to Beijing leaves at 2:30 yet the check in counter open earlier than ours."
Pros: "The WHOLE flight was horrible. The crew in the airport extremely unhelpful. The boarding was horrible. The seats were not put together properly, the whole ride was extremely turbulent and we got stuck in the air for 45 mins NC of weather, I knw that's not the plane crew fault on that one"
Cons: "EVERYTHING. food was not good either"
Pros: "NA"
Cons: "NA"
Cons: "The WiFi service did not actually work. Also it is not clear that despite checking in online you still have to check in at the airport too"
Pros: "Left the airport on time, arrived on time, good flight, good service onboard."
Pros: "This flight was shorter but i felt flight attendants were still very attentive."
Cons: "Didn’t have individual screens to watch movies. One movie didn’t have English subtitles. Not that i cared because I was in and out of sleep, just pointing it out."
Cons: "Very limited English speaking programs/movies"
Pros: "Great price IMHO. Good value for the space/legroom. Nothing to hate."
Cons: "The food wasn’t great and service wasn’t as slick or polished as say a Qatar or ME3 airline, but to get from US to Hong Kong in business for less than 2 grand is a steal"
Pros: "Attendants were very attentive."
Cons: "Towards the end of the flight attendants rudely snatched the cord while watching tv. A bit aggressive and not needed."
Pros: "Good selection of movies"
Cons: "The food were not fresh and ill prepared"
Pros: "The price is reasonable cheap for exchange to go by airport terminal bus and walk up the stair to the air plane, good exercise and good to get on the air plane first."
Cons: "un convenience a bit to exchange with the lower price, it is worth for me, but the over lay is too long 4 to 6 hours."
Cons: "My issue is not actually China eastern but Kayak! I received messages saying to check in in Taipei at Terminal 1. Well China Eastern is actually in terminal 2! And these mega airports in Asia getting from 1 terminal to another when you don’t speak the language can add an hour! If the flight wasn’t an hour late I would have missed it because of the messages. I have saved those and will be contacting Kayak for some type of reasonable compensation for this terrible error on their part. No message at all would be much better than a message sending me to the wrong place!"
Pros: "Service, people, food"
Pros: "Cheap."
Cons: "Landed in Kunming only to find that there was no international terminal so I had to go through immigration to change planes. Showing up in China without a visa is a big no-no. China Eastern, whose flight crew spoke minimal English, didn't warn me about this at all. The soldier at the immigration desk was not amused by a US citizen without a visa, and it took much explaining and a couple of conversations between soldiers to be allowed a 24-hour visa. It was touch and go for a bit, leaving me wondering if I was to be turned away. NOT ACCEPTABLE!"
Pros: "The free cup of water"
Cons: "Welcome aboard Dictator Airlines... NO I WILL NOT SHUT MY WINDOW COVER"
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: "Service was prompt and polite. The personnel were great!"
Cons: "Im not sure if it's China Eastern policy, fleet-wide, but cell phone use was not allowed the entire flight, even with the phone switched to airplane mode. This, and the fact that seats did not contain flight entertainment systems, meant that I couldn't watch any movies."
Pros: "Complimentary in flight wifi"
Cons: "Couldn’t use iPhones... even on airplane mode"
Pros: "They gave me my confirmed seat and got me to my destination safely."
Cons: "They had us standing on the flight line in the rain waiting to board. The staff was rude/pushy. Before they could finish asking you to do something they would be reaching over you to forcefully do it themselves. They woke me up multiple times to ask me if i wanted Water.... if i wanted Water i would Simple be awake and ask for it. I was Trying to sleep in order to get my sleep schedule back in order!"
Cons: "Bad service. Luggages were destroyed. Flights got cancelled and no one advised us of this change. We would’ve never know we had no flights if we didn’t call to confirm. Was told there wa nothing they could do for us."
Cons: "Seats were tight and there was not a good variety of movies"
Cons: "Yes the crew was nice, but they seemed to rush around as if there is some sort of emergencies, all the time. They maybe too eager but gave the impression of not calm, sort of made me nervous. The butter came with the dinner rolls are not salted, no taste, very plain. Also they don't have pepper, when I asked for pepper to season my food, there was none. It was like this both ways from LAX to PVG and back."
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."
Pros: "The price was right and we got what we paid for. All in all the experience was decent. We got where we wanted to go and we didn’t break the bank. The staff was very courteous and helpful, the quantity of food was good."
Cons: "The seats were far from comfortable, but flights this long never are. As with all planes, the seats just aren’t designed for people that are six feet tall or more. Such is life, but these seats are also quite hard. You get what you pay for."
Pros: "Very helpful flight attendant (should have asked her name) Healthy food"
Pros: "Flight attendants attractive"
Cons: "The plane was older...need to upgrade Honolulu to Shanghai"
Cons: "Very comfortable and timely"
Pros: "Seats ok Crew was good"
Cons: "No headphones for ife Food horrible"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "The airline didn't honor my ticket, and subsequently I had to purchase another ticket - this time at the counter which was outrageously expensive."
Pros: "The food was not bad."
Cons: "This airline bans the use of cellphones"
Pros: "The price was phenomenal. Seats were comfortable. Timeliness was good."
Cons: "Limited English movie choices. Limited English of crew."
Pros: "good pailot"
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: "7 repeated announcements of delay. Flight was supposed to leave at 415 pm, but did not until 9:20 pm. Light rain, no ATC delay in Shanghai, Waiting area is away from the main corridor, with no restaurants and toilets, so it's a hassle climing up and down the stairs."
Pros: "It's easy to give China Eastern such a great review when you have such a low bar with the U.S. domestic airlines. Even so, I thought that the crew was very nice, the food was pretty good, and the entertainment offered was varied enough for all tastes."
Cons: "Unfortunately, there is no app for the airlines, at least that I could see, in English, thus I couldn't check-in prior to arriving at the airport."
Pros: "The airplane staff was kind."
Cons: "One of my suitcases did not arrive to my final destination. I was told that it arrived in Shanghai but has not been shipped to Zhengzhou. I arrived on January 1st. It is now January 3rd, and I still do not have my suitcase. Also, I am being told that I will need to pick up my suitcase when it arrives, but it should be delivered to my home. This has been a huge inconvenience. I have important things that I need and it has been delayed for far too long. I should also not have to pick up the suitcase because it is not may fault that it was misplaced. I refuse to spend half the day to go to the airport, and I also refuse to spend money on a taxi service to get me there."
Pros: "First all, the flight changed to stop at PVG, not Nanjing. When it depatured from PVG to Taipei, inside the airplane was so hot. We talked to flight attences 2 times, still didn't be adjusted. And food was terrible, too. They provided food too late, then they rushed out to clean the food trates. There is no enough time to eat! The experience was so bad with them."
Cons: "Small space in economy"
Cons: "I had a connecting flight from Taiwan to Shanghai to catch my flight to LA. AT CHINA Estern counter, they will not chech my luggage all the way to LA. I had to pick up my luggage going out the terminal then go to check in again. I am 82 years old. This is not easy and stressful to me. I asked the supervisor that he could not do any thing. My connecting flight ticket was also from CHINA EASTER AIRLINES. They say the connecting flight was not on the same ticket. However it is from the same airline. I made my flight with great effort. I had hard time to speak to the agent in checking in my flight to LA. THIS IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED WHEN I PURCHASED THE TICKET. IF I KNEW, I WILL RECONSIDER TO PURCHASE THE TICKET. DO REQUEST YOU RECOGNIZED THE STRESS AND INCONVENIENT YOU PUT YOUR PASSENGER THRU."
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: "Nothing"
Cons: "Domestic portion of the flight was first canceled then rescheduled then delayed. This issue keeps occurring and should not be recommended on Kayak!"
Cons: "We were stuck in the plane for an hour AFTER arriving at the gate"
