Pros: The entertainment was good.

Cons: The food, while it tasted good, made me a little sick because it’s pretty unhealthy. I am vegan and would have like lower calorie option meals.

Pros: Fight attendants were kind. Got to my destination safely. Food was pretty good, however small.

Pros: The overhead cabin was really spacious. The leg room was impressive. The meals were enjoyable & served hot. The cabin temperature was nice. A bottle of water on the seat for both journey’s was a nice touch.

Pros: Good check-in experience.

Cons: Entertainment Systems are old, low-resolution and difficult to view & operate compared to, say, A380 aircraft. Some did not work. Seats were cramped. One recliner was broken. Cabin crew smiled less. African legs should not have lower quality of equipment and service than other legs.

Cons: Mu luggage got broken

Pros: The aircraft was nice, clean and seemed new. The staff was very professional, immaculate uniforms and appearance. Great attention to detail. We traveled from US - Nairobi - Kigali - Johannesburg, changing planes four times. These were some of the nicest planes. I felt very safe traveling this airline.

Cons: Too much bread in the meals. The meals were adequate in quantity but each meal came with two rolls, which was excessive. Just a note - for the boarding area in the airport. Please have restroom facilities in boarding area, past security so you can use the restroom without having to go through security again. Also, if food and beverage is available for sale in the boarding area more passengers would make purchases.

Pros: Good

Pros: The flight attendants are very welcoming and helpful. You feel safe and you get to see the pilot who is going to take you to your destination.

Cons: Unfortunately there were many babies crying and poking around the entire time, but that can’t be helped. Everything airlines related was great though.

Pros: Entertainment is epic. Speed to get luggage and depart airport was excellent.

Cons: Boarding crew had difficulty pronouncing "B" and "D", this caused some confusion. If they had said "B for Bravo", and "D for David", it would have helped them a lot.

Pros: The cabin crew were nice and helpful The plane left on time And arrived early, which was a huge bonus

Cons: Simply compared with other Trans-Atlantic flights it was mediocre in terms of what you get The seats were uncomfortable for a 10 hour flight, there were only around 5 movies to choose from and 5 TV programmes unless you wanted to upgrade (other airlines offer a lot more variety as standard). If you wanted refreshments they also cost additional, I was only offered one cup of tea/coffee/water, whereas other airlines offer wine, juice, soda, coffee, tea, water 4 or 5 times throughout the flight. Also compared with other flights I was not given an eye mask or travel toothbrush which on a long-haul overnight flight can make all the difference in terms of a good impression of the airline.

Pros: The crew was nice but never got the menu.

Cons: The crew was amazing and delightful but should provide food to kids first before even those special diet or vegetarians.

Pros: Good

Pros: I think that I appreciated all the details during the trip. As I get my kayak app in my IPhone, i firstly received a notice that the check in started.... At each step, I could see the time discounted through my phone

Cons: As I said, I liked everything. From the departure to the landing

Pros: That there were not many people on the second leg and that the plane was clean

Cons: The fact that we had an itinerary change with an extra stop (unannounced until 15 minutes before I boarded the flight) that delayed us by 1+ hours, that we were delayed from leaving Kigali by 1.5 hours and none of the crew could explain what was going on, that the rwandair staff was rude. I mean... It's Rwanda so I didn't expect much customer service (they are generally particularly bad by African, European, Asian or American standards) and I definitely wasn't impressed

Pros: What did you like? the attendants were very kind

Pros: The crew was amazing and their service was very attentive to customers.

Cons: Not having crying infants onboard

Pros: Overall good.

Pros: The crew was helpful. Flights were on time.

Cons: The transfer in Dubai was to be made in 75 minutes to another terminal where the inter-terminal bus only comes every 40 minutes. Almost lost my connecting flight. Also, the seat on the FRA - YYZ leg was 23A. Couldn’t be reclined and had no leg space. Painful!

Pros: The seat was not up to the usual Emirates business class standard. The lights were never completely dimmed.

Pros: Staff was good and always polite at all times even on such a long flight. Food was ok.

Cons: They lost my luggage and after one week I know nothing about it. Enough said.

Pros: The flight was on time, it was certainly easier going from International to Domestic at Christchurch than at large airports! Staff great.

Cons: poor customer service. no assistance,

Pros: Good flight time, direct flight. Reasonably comfortable.

Cons: A few of the crew (mainly the 'older' women) were rude and looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. They ran into my partners elbow and shoulder with their trolley...twice and didn't apologise, and stood on his foot too. Also no apology. They also dropped my food on the floor during their impatience with me to not get my tray table out in less than 3 seconds. That wasn't picked up for me. We got the impression we were more of an inconvenience. I'm not sure how they get away with it being in the service industry. The extra payment for more than 4 films is pretty appalling too.

Pros: New plane, fresh feel. Food is ok.

Cons: Airline feels basic and no frills.

Cons: We incurred significant extra costs (visas, taxi, hotel costs) because Rwandair changed our flights around from what we had originally booked, with no compensation or help navigating the visa process.

Pros: The crew was amazing and delightful

Cons: The crew was amazing and delightful but should provide food to kids first before even those special diet or vegetarians.

Pros: the crew was amazing

Pros: Staff was nice and polite and helpful to me. The plane is pretty much on time or little delay. The boarding is early but I guess it helps with getting everyone on board and be on time.

Cons: There are 2-3 choices per meal for us to choose on the menu but some of the choice already gone by the time they serve us. I feel like menu is useless if we were forced to eat what have left.

Pros: The entertainment was good.

Cons: The food, while it tasted good, made me a little sick because it’s pretty unhealthy. I am vegan and would have like lower calorie option meals. I tried to find an option on the app to order special meals, but couldn’t. It would be good if Qatar made it easy to order special meals on their app.

Cons: Thx crew seemed s little slow (almost 2 hours) with getting us dinner for a very late night flight (10:45 pm). It just makes for not very much time to sleep.

Cons: They ran out of non-vegetarian meals, which is not acceptable. The seats were rather narrow

Pros: Yes!

Cons: It was ok

Pros: Lamb and chicken were good but kids didn't like the kids meals..

Cons: 2 of the female crew members had attitude problems when asked simple questions by passengers. One was an Urdu speaking flight attendant and the other was a blonde woman. Regret I didn't get their names. Please work with them on being nicer with passengers.
