Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

Everything was perfect. Staff were informative and professional and flight boarding, flying and de-embarking was smooth. I would certainly travel with Emirates again.

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

Very nice experience in business class. Flight attendants were attentive. Foods and beverages were very good.

Flight and entertainment great. Food needs to be improved, only one choice on the menu. Staff worked well throughout.

Both flights to and back from Lyon with buses taking extra time and delaying flight at DXB. Food serving needed work.

There is an issue with A380 when it arrives in Munich, because a business class passengers like me have to wait for the first class passengers to disembark, which takes some time while you are also offloading economy passengers this causes an issue at customs where your business class passengers end up behind a large bulk of economy passengers This is a frustration and the early dislocation should be and is supposed to be a benefit of business class

Premium economy was worth it-comfort was definitely better than economy class. The seats were more comfortable, blankets and pillows thicker

Very poor boarding experience with these remote gates and buses. Also these 777s bardy need a remodeling. Entertainment is a bit laggy. Food and crew is still among the better, but they seriously have to do something with these remote gates.

The seat and leg room is small on the 2 seated row. Otherwise, very good crew and service.

No choice of food was given, and I was served leftovers, so they were returned back. the crew is unfriendly and harsh. Need to be trained on communication.

The flight itself was fine, but due to a snow delay my connection to Lisbon was delayed by six hours. Despite this, Swiss Air still managed to lose my luggage. Not acceptable. Someone else on the flight also lost their luggage.

Bad experience overall. Crew did not provide food for our 2 year old (even though we specifically bought a child infant seat for her and literally bought another full price flight), which was unacceptable. And we had to pay $310 each way to carry our ski equipment even though they advertise it as something that is free. Tickets were purchased the same way as usual, but they told us we had Economy Light tickets (I never elected to have such seats). Just plain manipulation and false advertisment. Very disappointed overall about this airline.

The trip was great until my luggage was lost on transfer from United to Swiss. It took Swiss 3 days to get my luggage to me though it was located almost immediately.

We had seats between the bathroom and a screaming baby, and did not have enough room to lay my head down on the tray table. Not ideal.

Everything was fairly easy just hard when you get to Heathrow not know your Gate number until an hour before but otherwise really everything great. Did not get my texts in time though to do me any good but that is why I still like everything the old fashioned way and print everything out.

We flew an Air Bus 330 airliner from Zurich to Boston. Our seats were terrible. I am 6'5" with long legs. I tend to refuse paying extra for extra seat room, usually it's tolerable. We were side by side in row 40, with my wife in the window and me in the aisle. The internal arm rest only rose to 45 degrees, I thought it was broken. I ended up standing by our seats in the aisle for an hour. A stewardess finally approached me and asked if I was feeling sick. I told her that it was the worst seat comfort I had ever encountered. She left and shortly came back telling me that there were center row seats two up from us where only one passenger was sitting out of the 4 seats. I took her advice and sat there most of the flight. I put m legs sideways in the adjoining empty seat. But the arm rests there as well only rose to 45 degrees, so it's a feature, not a defect. The arm rest position really limits our position. It's a horrible seating design, what are the air craft designers thinking?

The cabin was warm and few used the blankets. I should’ve upgraded.

The plan was delayed for takeoff by an hour, but we ended up making the landing on time which was a nice surprise.

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

I paid extra for seating when first booking flight to be in a comfortable economy seat They still changed it to a middle seat regardless. When I asked for it to be changed back to aisle, they could only give me one at the back of the plane in the least comfortable seats.

I always fly with Qatar air and you are the best. Keep up the good wor, after travelling with Qatar Air More than 80 times, you never offer to upgrade me.but it happened to my friend companion some time. Any how i still enjoying travelling with Qatar air and wait one day to upgrade me too. Best Regards

All great, because I was given a seat with extra legroom on this part of my trip.

I wish I knew in advance that the connecting flight was by indigo air

As good as you can expect an economy flight from Europe to Australia to be. Nothing agains Qatar, just feels like every new generation of plane gets tighter.

The flight was delayed and one member of the crew was a bit rude. But apart from that all good.

My baggage is lost. Flight cancelled, Rebooked ticket through long routes. Mental stress, emotional hurt

My entire row did not have power for the full duration of a 14.5 hour flight. Could not charge any devices such as laptop or phones for the entirety of the long flight. The flight attendants tried to remedy the issue by resetting the power, but were not successful. The only other solution provided was to move me to another seat on the plane which was in the middle row. I had paid for a “preferred” seat that was a window seat. This was a downgrade being offered due to the power issue.

I wish the leg room was better for Economy especially for the outbound flights to India . The outbound flight to US and Qatar was good

Connecting flight was cancelled due to strike and the earliest they could rebook us was 4 days later.

Flights were delayed and due to a checked hand luggage bag by an overzealous gate agent in Berlin I missed my ground connection costing me another £80. Food was cold and bland, I honestly expect better from a national carrier operating out of one of their major hubs.

We missed our flight. There was not enough time built into the layover to get through immigration, customs, bagclaim, bag rechecking, and the long trip to another terminal and gate. Kayak really screwed up. We took the bus up to Wisconsin and then were picked up in Brookfield by private car. It was lucky we didnt miss the last bus out.

A bit more space? Not practical, I know. I felt squished in but part of that could have been the man sitting next to me.

It was a short flight, everything was good with it.

Crew was great. But my flight was late arriving and as a result, I missed my connecting flight to Richmond. I had to catch a later flight. On a positive note, the attendants at the counter were extremely helpful in booking my later flight. They book my on the next flight to Richmond.

The booking I made 2 months in advance got changed the week before with another flight and had to pay more for seats and luggage. Not to mention hours and hours on hold to make sure my flight is still booked.

Excellent once on board. Security staff at Johannesburg rude and aggressive.

I came out early, 4 hrs before departure. The flight was changed 4 or 5 times with few minutes between new and schedule time , then 30 minutes delay, then up to 2hrs 30min delay. When I arrived in Frankfurt, no one help us to lead to the custom service. After almost 1 hour asking around then we must line up for another hour to get overnight and rebooking the next flight. We must find out how to get to the hotel by us self. The shuttle bus driver in Germany was not nice, speak German to English speaking and we must predict what she / he tried to tell us. We got up earlier and tried to not coming late to the check in and immigration procedure (we were told by the helping center that the immigration used to be over crowded) then we came there it was almost empty, then we must stay in the airport for hours not necessary. We got the coupons at the airport for compensation for waiting for delay flight for NOK 75 ( as low as 6 Euros) It is not enough to buy food at the airport price and Norwegian cost of living... How to drink a cup of cappuccino for NOK 72 when the stomach was empty for food in 16 hrs (from dinner at 6 pm the day before to 16 pm the day after) At the hotel in Frankfurt, we were offered two options spaghetti with biff or vegan food and a drink for 18 Euro. Almost 60 passenger ate the same food and I was remembered once time in former Soviet Union in 80's I travelled with Aeroflot and the passenger were stranded in the hotel for next flight and we were also offered only one choice of dinner, if we were hunger we must pay 1$ for 1 egg and another 1$ for two loaf of bread and butter. I can't believe Germany is to poor and inferior service like former USSR in 1980 decade. My good remembering of Luft Hansa disappear and changed totally by this service I got this time.

It was my first experience in business class. It was everything I expected and more. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and I felt rested once I arrived to London

The boarding was a mess as there was another document check in the small congested area after the stairs at the gate. No food is offered for Economy travelers except for a cookie and a small water bottle. No entertainment is available since it’s a short flight. But at least the seat reclined as opposed to my flight to Faro.

Flight attendants need to come by a little more often to pick up trash.

Boarding was orderly, pilot and flight attendants were nice, entertainment options were good, and low sodium meals were quite tasty.

The whole experience was excellent, O can say out from Miami the best airline to travel with for any European destination. Since the ground staff to the inflight crew attention was great, service on board 10 of 10. Finally the 380 is very confortable and nice to travel.

All crew except 1 were excellent. When I asked assistance with business class seat conversion to a bed (not being familiar as never used before but have numerous times with other airlines) crew member helped very reluctantly. I should have told her that business class seat conversion is totally different in each airline such as Delta, New Zealand Air and United. Sorry it was my 1st time with America Airlines. Now I know, I won't bother asking assistance in future.

I had a mixed experience on this flight. The plane itself was comfortable, the flight was smooth, and the entertainment selection was excellent with plenty of movie options. However, the service fell short. I had an entire row to myself and fell asleep with a blanket over me. A flight attendant, Karleigh, woke me up to see if I had my seatbelt on, which felt unnecessary given the situation. Meanwhile, trash sat uncollected on the tray at the end of the row and was never picked up. During the second meal service, no one woke me up, and when I used the call button multiple times, there was no response. I eventually had to walk to the back to ask for assistance. There was also a long stretch without snacks, and when I requested something savory, I was dropped off sweet options, which wasn’t ideal. Overall, while the flight itself was comfortable, the lack of attentiveness and responsiveness from the crew made the experience disappointing.

The seats in Premier Economy were very comfortable. The food was better than average. The way British Airways handled our seating was atrocious.

The flight attendant does not pay attention to my "call" button more than 3 times when I need a drink.

Flight delayed, connection was not at gate listed and so missed, staff were rude at Heathrow, phone tree stupid and difficult, took me 21 actual hours to reach my destination. Almost lost my hotel reservation after walking in a strange city alone after midnight because they would not put me up in a hotel at sfo or heathrow. I will never fly BA again and will tell all people and Instagram followers never to fly BA.

British Airays fails to enforce its own guidelines regarding carry on size limits. There were MANY passengers with full suitcases stuffing them into the overhead compartments leaving no space for others, like me, who adhere to the posted sizes. I had to put my carryone bag into my foot space, in additon to my carryon personal item, leaving me cramped for a seven hour flight. I was in physical pain, and I attribute this entirely to staff unwilling to enforce limits. The infotainment system was horrible. the touchscreens did dot work correctly, and there was no information on system operation. I am 77 years old, and a lifelong movie-goer. I recognized ONE movie (and not much better TV shows). It seems that BA saves royalty money by limiting its move and TV selection to absolute rubbish. The FlightAware program is the worst informationsystm I have ever seen, it is completely worthless. I pay attention to the safety briefings...in the event of an emergency, one is supposed to assume the "brace" position, except the seats are so close together, front to back, that it is not possible to assume the position without striking the seat in front of you. at age 77, and a lifelong traveler, this is the worst flight experience I have ever had, and I will never fly British Airways again
