Due to delayed flight we missed our connection flight to Amsterdam. Though Emirates have rebooked in next day's morning flight, to get the hotel voucher etc could have been improved. We have waited for nearly 2 hours to get the hotel arrangements. Even some Emirates officials were asking why hotel voucher was not provided at the embarking point. However the hotel and food was excellent.Due to lot of flight disruptions huge crowds were present in front of Dubai connect as everybody was asked to contact Dubai connect office. Some better arrangments are to be thought of

Old flight not worth in economy. Even food was terrible

It took almost 4 hours to collect the luggage from the belt in Lagos. Really pathetic. Flight attendents from Dubai to Lagos were very busy and were not responding at all.

Worst kayak is worst ill never ever use kayak ever again !!

It went well except at delhi airport they told me that my flight is canceled and only after talking to manager they were able to find seats for me and my wife

Seat did not recline at all, wi-FI did not work at all. Those are both very unfortunate for a 14 hour flight. Crew and food was of course very nice as always.

Food was great. More vegetarian options on menu would be great!

The main issue was that the flight from trivandrum to Dubai was delayed which resulted in arriving late in Dubai. Coincidentally the flight leaving out of Dubai to jfk was also delayed for different reason. Despite we reached the gate ( through wheel chair assistance) along with 10 other passengers we were not let in. The gate was open and yet was refrained from entering. We were then requested to flight the next morning. Meal vouchers were provided but the hotel reservations were not made and took a lot longer to receive that. If Emirates knew about the delay and was certain the passengers will not be able to board the next flight shouldn't they have prepared these ahead of time?

I would have liked less packaged snacky stuff, more fruit. The crew was great.

On both legs of my trips (Jhb - Dxb and Dxb - Jhb) the entertainment system did not work.

The most convenient. Keep up the good services. Best wishes.

Movie options were quite limited in terms of the new releases The boarding in Goa was was too cumbersome with multiple security checks and passport checks. Seems like we are trying to create redundant processes with no valuable gains. A lot of waste in the system and it’s really frustrating for us customers.

The flight from HYD to DOH was delayed by 3 hours and we missed the connection from DOH to MIA. We had to wait 24H more to get the MIA flight. It was a total disaster. If the flight crew had waited 1 more hour to accommodate their 3 hour delayed flight, we would not have lost a whole day !

Flight canceled by JetBlue for no reason. No good alternatives provided.

Very difficult to check in and almost missed flight. No room in seats and had a middle seat. I tried to create an account and check in before to change seat and unable to. I do not understand why I wasn’t on a Qatar flight from on Bengalore to Doha when they left at the same time. Disappointed in the Kayak booking process.

My journey with Qatar Airways from Ahmedabad to Jacksonville on 3rd February 2026 was truly exceptional. The entire experience reflected comfort, care, and world-class service. Complimentary high-quality Wi-Fi throughout the journey was a welcome luxury, especially on a long-haul flight. The vegetarian meals were thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and served with attention to detail, along with a fine selection of snacks and beverages. What truly elevated the experience was the cabin crew — graceful, courteous, and genuinely attentive, delivering outstanding hospitality at every step. This journey perfectly showcased the premium standard Qatar Airways is known for, and it left a lasting impression. I would gladly fly with them again.

First off, it wasn't clear that my first flight was to be operated by IndiGO. While the flight itself was fine, this meant that my whole initial check in where I would've properly verified my seating on my Qatar flight/requested an upgrade was impeded by the fact that I had to check in with IndiGO. They said I would separately have to go to Qatar counter to deal with second flight leg issues, which was impossible given how long the check in took/no time available to do so.

Impressive as always. It is the airline of my choice, The dessert on the 2nd flight DOH-IAH was somewhat dry (the cake with cream etc) Check-in and boarding experience was fantastic, with the exception of CCU airport where chk-in staff refused to help with aisle seats stating the flight was full and accommodations were beyond him. Once I boarded there were plenty of available aisles. I was disappointed that this could not be done by self during online chk-in nor at the airport. Nothing more to add. Overall a good experience, TY QTR

excellent! movie selection just ok, but everything else was wonderful.

I am a big person and have back pain and swelling in my legs, so this was a challenging flight due to confined space. I didn't find the crew very friendly either. I will think twice before flying long distances with Qatar again, due to the lack of legroom.

I was mislead in the booking thinking I was purchasing via kayak however underpricer was the ticket vendor and I did not have access to seat selection, wifi or the lounge at the airport with my business class ticket for this reason. I did know know these issues were going to occur when I bought the ticket, I was very displeased

Over all good experience. Cabin crew should have been more attentive and the food quality should improve.

Crew from ground is great but the aircraft is small and last 3 rows luggage section was occupied by crew so no space for travelers. Food was OK

From Chennai to abu dabhi Abudabhi to Chicago Both flights are good , good service too

Air hostesses were great. Food was good. Flat bed is not that flat or comfortable.

Seats were very comfortable and the staff too was very friendly.

Flight got canceled due to Middle East conflict. Just fly hasn’t refunded me the money

Business class ticket should include lounge access and seat selection. The food quality and varieties should be more. It was surpirise that no dessert was offered.

It was great! Kept the time. Provided what was promised

I could not book in online at all which is what I always do to secure a window seat which is my preference.

It was a great experience for my first time flying with this airline. I will be flying with them a lot more now. Plane crew was amazing.

It was a good experience - too many times checking at the airport - every time had to remove shoes , belt , laptop etc. that was a bit of exaggerated. The seat had a sharp metal plate -- which torn into my jeans.

A bit chaotic boarding flight but over all good experience.

Need to do a lot of improvement on service and cleaness

The Boeing 737 MAX on this route, flown in the middle of the night, is an UTTER FAILURE for business travellers. The whole point of business travel is to arrive alert and recover from travel quickly, and this little aeroplane with its quarter recline uncomfortable business seats does nothing for that. It’s a small step up from economy in that you have decent legroom, but that’s it. Absolute margin at the cost of the traveller.

It was an old aircraft, stiff seats almost wooden chairs with thin cushions. Food was ok.

For Vegetarian Food was very poor. Though we had opted for Asian Vegetarian Food they didn’t serve but only what was available was served. We were offered Smoked Salmon!

The use of a domestic carrier without entertainment was disappointing and a let down

There where no ear phones provided and the food needs to improve.

The food could be better, the beef was quite tough. The crew were friendly and helpful on this flight, which has not being my experience on other Ethiopian flights.

Uganda Airlines notified me less than 24 hours before departure that my early evening flight from JRO to EBB had been moved five hours later into the middle of the night. That was an unacceptable change, putting me in the position of having to find a last minute flight on another carrier, at a high price, to get me where I needed to go. They did not offer refunds, did not offer rebooking options. When I contacted them to cancel my flight and refund, they told me I had to do that through kayak. The phone number listed for customer service was incorrect. There was no way to contact or chat with an actual person. Even online they would not allow me to cancel the flight, only modify it to another time. Their customer care was completely worthless. I would urge you to never fly them, and I will never fly them again. Kayak was also unhelpful. They said I had to deal with the airline for refunds. So neither kayak nor Uganda Airlines have been helpful to me. I have lost the money paid for the original fare. I had to rebook on my own to get an acceptable timetable. I would also urge you not to book through a third-party like kayak because kayak and the airline blame each other. This was a completely awful experience.

The agent you recommended is a big scam. I missed my flight. It’s either you are colluding with your agents to sabotage clients or something is terribly wrong. In overall would give zero ratings.

I missed my flight because you refeered a scam agent.

I like that they provided food during the long layover in Entebbe, other than that, they delayed, they changed the time twice, the flight from Entebbe to Burundi was very uncomfortable, my neck and back were killing me, it felt worse than travelling by road. They should improve on the layover hours, and make the flights sit comfortably.

Probably the worst airline I have flown in recent years. From check in to the on board experience, everything was terrible

improve sercice on board and to assist passengers to get thier needs
