Top airlines flying from Washington, D.C. to Cape Town
Was an excellent experience I have been flying Turkish Airlines for 5 years and always will
Was an excellent experience I have been flying Turkish Airlines for 5 years and always will
It was good. Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines companies. I like a lot to travel with them
Four of my family members was settled in a different seats. I paid extra $200 dollars for 4 seats just to be all together, but they settled us on separated seats. After a lots of time they put us 2 and 2. My kids are 9 and 13 . How i can leave them alone???
It is much better than other airlines but not the best for the price
I did not like the quality of the food and there was no snacks offered between meals.
Awful seats, poor air circulation. Smelled like poop for 3-5 mins after someone used the bathroom. Child screaming for 13 hours
Temperature in plane in both segments was warm. Otherwise, great experience
Stale, bad and limited food, drink options. Entertainment system was broken, old and had barely any latest contents.
Love that they had a bassinet for our child during the flight. Thank you for that big time.
We are thankful for the useful gifts provided by the airline.The entertainment and crew were also very good
Everything was perfect except the pad at the top of the seat back. It pushes my head forward in a very uncomfortable position and it is not removable.
Good plane, crew, and flight. Boarding was a bit chaotic. Bathrooms were unacceptable. United DESPERATELY needs a new terminal at IAD.
United Airlines changed my flight 5 hours before I arrived at the airport. This messed up my entire day that I arrived in Japan.
Being stick waiting for gate at ORD cause me to almost miss my connecting flight…being deaf United made no no effort to keep me updated as I couldn’t hear the PA
The Economy Plus rows weren’t as roomy as expected, and the meal service left a lot to be desired for.
United ground crew and pilots are friendly. The in-flight staff (flight attendants) are the worst in the world. Multiple trips, always unpleasant, combative, use implicit threats to not allow for a discussion on their decision. Authoritarian. This seems to stem from an internal corporate wide policy as I doubt that United is intentionally searching for people that are not fit for customer facing positions. I will not fly United again. Good luck fixing your business
The flight was mostly on time, smooth and deplaning was quick. Baggage was really quick at the claim. Comfort was so-so and I paid for economy plus. It was still too crowded and why was a family of 5 scattered all around the plane?
We boarded and buckled and then deplaned due to no pilot. Had to wait over 3 hours for a new pilot. Not weather related, just poor management.
Flying to anchorage would have been cool but the weather got in the way
Extremely uncomfortable sitting in a small space for 2 hours, especially for older people. Understood it was circumstantial.
