Find Cheap Flights from New York to Johannesburg

Cons: The flight was delayed for hours in Delhi with no notice, making us spent the night at the airport. The flight was supposed to get to Abidjan around noon, but because of the delay, we missed the connection and the next available flight was the next day which would mean I missed my next flight and a work conference. In Delhi, the Ethiopian Airlines people assured me that it could be worked out in Addis, and that they could change my final destination to get me where I needed to go. However, in Addis, the employees were rude and did not even read the email that the Delhi people sent them. They would not do anything except send me to Abidjan the following day, which was useless since I already had to be in the US by then. The level of service is incredibly poor and disorganized, with many people having to wait for hours to even talk to someone and no information about what needs to be done. In the end, i had to purchase a new ticket to get to my destination. Had I known this was the case in Delhi, and that i would have to purchase a new ticket, I would have done so in Delhi rather than waiting all night and going to Addis. I fly very often and this is both the worse experience and service I’ve ever experienced on a flight, and they weren’t even able to get me to my destination.

Cons: Online check in was not possible. The check in and boarding process took more than two hours and there was no order.

Pros: The airline was quick to give vouchers for food and hotel when flight was delayed by 5 hours. They were also efficient in rebooking missed connecting flight.

Cons: On top of a five hour delay that got me to my arrival point 14 hours behind schedule, my two checked bags were also lost and have not been found up to two days later. The food was like being on a Delta flight, and the entertainment screens in my entire row would not work, nor did many others.

Cons: Better selection of videos

Cons: Everything was OK

Cons: My flight was delayed almost 3 hours. Not good. Once in the air it was fine.

Pros: Plane was held for at least 40+ min for additional passengers. I was in First Class and no drinks were offered until another passenger complained and then the flight team took a a burden to have to offer anything.

Cons: New Flight crew.

Pros: Yes

Cons: It took around 15 minutes for airplane to park and I was very near to loose my second flight, if my second flight had not delayed I would have loose it totally.

Cons: Fewer fat peasants with too much hand luggage. Seriously, control the hand luggage before people bring it aboard.

Pros: I like everything about this airline... from the ticket prices, to their membership in Star Alliance, to their awesome customer service.

Pros: Nice seat I got.

Cons: I could not buy extra luggage at airport. They asked me for 470dollars as extra weight. Then my luggage has still not come in my hands :(

Cons: The food was mediocre and the selection of movies was very limited.

Pros: Crew was very nice, appreciated that they came by with water often

Cons: Legroom is very cramped, entertainment options are limited. After one 10-hour flight, you've seen everything you wanted to, so the return flight is a bummer

Pros: Great food. Nice staff.

Cons: Make a rule that people cannot put their seats back. People in front of us were rude and kept their seats back the entire flight, even after we nicely asked them to not have the seats back so far. Would prefer that seats did not move at all. I would never recline my seat in consideration for the person behind me. On an 11 hour flight, this is a big deal.

Cons: The seat can be better, I am flying relatively frequently in econom class. It is isn’t getting any better.

Pros: Boarding and service

Cons: Seat is too hard for this long flight. Bigger pillow would help.

Pros: Entertainment system

Cons: Awoke to find ill man laying on floor in aisle next to me with oxygen. Shortly after... Passenger in seat near man on floor (diabetic but no one tells us anything) needs to lay across four seats with oxygen for heart issues for remainder of trip with staff and doctor on board nearby. Nevdr informed what was happening, never offered to move our seats or move iIl passengers. Glad all turned out ok. Could have given them more privacy and better informed other passengers.

Pros: Spacious business class seats, excellent meals

Cons: Lack of ventilation in cabin, and staff refusal to turn heaters down (in September), very limited entertainment options.

Pros: Even with a full flight there was enough leg room. The crew were attentive and accomadating.

Cons: Bathroom floors were often wet

Pros: Super easy check in. Good air hosting staff.

Cons: Same as ALWAYS - Beijing baggage pickup is an absolute joke. Takes forever and it is generally mayhem in the baggage hall. They really need to get ahold of this space and the behaviour of Chinese travelers.

Cons: Maybe some more options of snacks. In flight entertainment was not working so can’t say much about it.
