Airline reviews

First flight was delayed slightly, immediately went to the desk to ask if we would make our connecting flight we were told ‘absolutely no problem’. Flight was delayed again. We went back up and they said ‘it might be tight, but you should be fine. We’ll move to seats closer to the front of the plane’ so we lost our window and aisle seat and were moved to middle seats. As we were getting ready to land the flight attendant let us know that they have already rebooked us on a new flight, even though we may have been able to make our original flight when we landed. We went to the desk and were told that our flight was the following day. The staff told us that they could send us to Frankfurt first and then from Frankfurt to Boston and we could either do that that night or tomorrow. We chose to go to Frankfurt same day. We were told that we would be able to collect our bags in Frankfurt that was incorrect. We were given a hotel but had no clothes, no toiletries, nothing as we were not able to get our bags and we were required to check even our carry ons. Overall bad expedited and Swiss pushed us off on to Lufansia air who is unable to offer us any credits or upgrades. Extremely frustrating and do not plan to fly with Swiss in the future.

Everything about Swiss was perfect . I found the business practice of kayak to be shady. We were turned over to an online travel agent called Aran Grant. We paid extra for economy comfort seats on our transatlantic flights including picking the exact seats we wanted. Upon check in 24 hours before departure we were assigned different seats . When contacting Aran Grant they were very pleasant and professional with the only problem being they could not help us. We had to each time arrive at the airport four hours early to get assistance from Swiss .check in agent. Both times they were very helpful and accommodating. . The moral of the story is we were left to fend for ourselves. Kayak and its agent AranGeant leave slot to be desired .

I took a long time to start boarding past the announced boarding time. It was the replacement flight for the flight we were supposed to take the previous day. That one was cancelled because not enough airplanes were planned to be in operation. I don't like that you have to pay extra for food and luggage.

I liked the flight experience. I don't like the leg room.

Close was excellent. Comfort was very good. The food was marginal.

They lived up to the Swiss reputation of excellent operation in all aspects. Zurich is a great place to make connections to other parts of Europe.

Well it was a 2h delay flight so that said it all. With very little if any information. Boarding took for ever with long waits at the terminal and then in the finger. To top it off and increase the delay we had to take a bus in Zurich. A trip to forget

Each flight we took was late with little or no updates or information.

Nothing special.. they could have provided something to eat without a charge

Wheelchair was the excellent service. I didn’t have any food or used entertainment. Overall for my trip experience was excellent. Thank you very much and keep up good work. Best regards

Very bad, both outboard and inboard, If I could avoid ET I would, but with many travels to the region hard to avoid :-(

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.

The plane was old and the luggage racks above us were visibly shaking during turbulence. Water was dripping on our heads during landing. Our flight was over 2 hours late departing but we were not updated or told what to expect as the screen at the gate continued to read “on time”

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.

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.

I did not receive my luggage This airline is not good. My luggage is missing please you guys need to find my luggage. It’s been three days now I cannot get my luggage. This is not a good business I

I was a good, but long trip. The airline did a good job. I would use them again.

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.

The seats were quite uncomfortable despite having good legroom. The 350s are quite nice but the problem is on the old 777 aircraft. Special meal requests are not catered for as they should. They never had any ice for drinks.
