Terrible experience will never fly Delta again. Delayed flight with total disorganization and inept crew who wouldn’t communicate.

Terrible experience will never fly Delta again. Delayed flight with total disorganization and inept crew who wouldn’t communicate.

Will try never to fly Delta international again. Flight delayed and staff completely inept in dealing with it. Would not communicate, rude, completely disorganized. Once we reached Seoul the staff there had no idea what to do with us and led us around the airport from one pointless line to another. They were clearly not told how to manage the situation even though they had hours to make a plan. Never again.

They texted me my gate number and then they texted me again it’s now boarding but in different gate, and the gate was so far from the gate they texted me earlier. I have to run just to get to my flight. They always do that.

The crew and my luggage was still pretty good after a long flight. They take good care of the luggage.

Really good! I like all the crew, they were so nice and very efficient.

On time departure and exceptional customer service during the entire flight.

The flight crews were extremely professional helpful and courteous. Departure and arrival times were accurate. No delay. Thanks

Not very comfortable seated in the back plane due to turbulence

I enjoyed flying on Korean Air. The service was great and the food was yummy. They served white fish.

Ford not that great the seat not to big for leg room like other airline

Bars and restaurants in Taipei close early. The lounge isn’t very good, but better than the public areas.

The food was the only thing that could have made the experience even better. Everything was stellar but the food. The staff was superb. I’ve been flying with ANA for years as my go-to and I think I may have found my new favorite. 😍

Short lay over. Seat assignment was terrible. Was traveling as a family and end up being seated separately. Will not use underpricer ever again.

Unable to set seat assignment. Got a call from presumably “China airlines representative” but was asking for an exorbitant amount for the seat assignment. Was traveling as a family end up being assigned to different seats as a result. Will never use underpricer again.

Not many selections for entertainment. Bulk head seats are no longer available with out fee at the counter. That’s pretty lame.

Everything was efficient. Good leg room. Food was good. Staff were friendly.

The flight who provided services on my row had some not-nice attitude and not smiling at all.

My flight to Los Angeles was canceled Had to book another flight and you charged me extra $500 Very bad experience

Comfort was left wanting due to such a long flight, made the wife and I wish we could upgrade the seats to Business class or First Class, but did not have that option. Food was good but had very limited options and I have a dietary restriction which was difficult for the staff to accommodate since everything provided came with cheese on it. (Cheese could potentially kill me) Did not have an option to inform the staff until we were already in the air about the restriction and was not provided another option before flight departed.

The plane was uncomfortable. I paid extra for more legroom but the seat was still uncomfortable. Other seats on the same exact row didn’t have to pay extra but still have extra legroom. I didn’t understand why I needed to pay $170 for. It was Iike China airline just wants to make money off their passengers. It was unfair.

service was slow and at times there was no service at all in premium plus seats. they do not care about people in premium plus

To san Francisco it was ok. From sf to Manila it was horrible

Awful, rude staff. Their abrasive comments are unnecessary. Most seek a frictionless experience and will cooperate if you ask. Additional childish bullying of customers is not acceptable or tolerated. We had the same problem with our departure flight. We will never fly United again.

Lufthansa and United Airlines messed up with our reservation and they canceled our flight to Los Angeles. We ended up stuck in Frankfurt with two little kids. They sent us to San Francisco, but their flight was full and they wanted us to sit separated (even our 3-year-old was supposed to sit separated from me or my husband!!! Isn't it illegal???). Then the flight from San Francisco was delayed and we had two little sleepy kids, we were also told we needed to pick up our luggages. It was just horrible. I paid for a direct flight from Frankfurt to LAX and ended up going through hell. I am very upset and going to submit a complaint.

I flew basic economy, so it was what I expected. Crew was nice though, and flight was quick. Would recommend for flights under 6 hours, otherwise would upgrade to something with more leg room.

Very poor the plane itself was really old, slight smell that couldn’t be named. I didn’t even get a boarding pass UNTIL AFTER clearing security! Even then, they said when I get to my connected flight I’ll get my 2nd boarding pass there! A bit ridiculous!

Airline staff was good the checkin process was ok but the plane itself was very bad the comfort was worst it was worst and the most stiff 5 hours of my life i felt claustrophobic

I would’ve liked to have made that flight so I didn’t have to go to Munich and have a 24 hour travel day

No cooked food. Crew was not friendly and not that helpful

Calgary desperately needs a star alliance lounge in the transborder area for United.

Seat barely reclined. Boarding took forever. Flight attendants were not very friendly

I liked absolutely NOTHING, Westjet is the worst airline in the world, they should be ashamed, they treated me like dirt, let's put it this way, I am truly pissed off. If anyone cares about my experience someone should call me so I can tell how bad my experience was, what a shame

If I wanted to leave on a Monday I would have booked to leave on Monday. Instead, thanks the west jet i spent another night in a hotel on my dime because they don’t even have a number you can call that works. It’s just says due to the high call volume we can’t take your call, that’s it. Our a Canadian airline industry needs an overhaul.

Fir premium economy passenger they didn't plan food properly ,only had 1 option available out of 3 on the menu as well as the drinks choice was limited

Westjet has a terrible boarding crew. I had a zone 3 pass and my wife and kids had zone 9 as we purchased tickets separately. After scanning our boarding passes, the boarding Filipino lady rudely says that my family has zone 9 passes. I said I have 3 and wanted to board as a family and she started a rant that they have 9 and they were small kids to board with me. I told her that I am not going to separate family because of this and what she said didn’t make sense. It’s a shame to Westjet if they have such policy. It’s a shame to the WestJet employee to start this rant after the passes were scanned. Westjet has to train people to speak politely and not with rude demanding tone. If that’s Westjet policy, I will pick a different airline next time. Westjet is not the only one out there.

I was never able to depart because of an IT outage, I could not get help through Delta’s website, app, or on the concourse. I eventually (after more than three hours in the airport) got rebooked with another airline the following day and Delta didn’t offer vouchers or any assistance with finding a hotel or getting to the hotel. I need to file a claim. Just an awful experience.

Over an hour late. Lousy flight attendant who was just going through the motions in every aspect of her job. The Dash 8 aircraft is super basic (no entertainment system, small seats, limited storage). Carry on luggage doesn’t fit in overhead bins.

Slow boarding process, tickets downgraded to Ultra Basic with no carry-on luggage, not enough space in overhead compartments

WiFi was not working. Zero entertainment. Did not receive a discount etc to make up for this.

Calgary WJET supervisor was the most professional, and diligent official who I have experienced personally to resolve our flight issues.

Cancelled flight had to fight for a hotel voucher and lost my upgrade. Not great business.

Our flight was delayed by almost 1 hour, and this negatively impacted our experience. Everything else was OK.

dont advertise liquor drinks you don't have. begin flight on time. instead of an hour LATE. OVERHEAD BINS ARE TOO SMALL TO FIT STANDARD CARRY ONS

Flying Air Canada was pleasant and enjoyable. The United portion was lacking.

Flight was delayed, slow boarding,fully booked flight... No extra charge for beverages..

we missed the flight because the preceding one was late. air canada said that because it was caused by air traffic control they would not put us up in a hotel, so since the next flight we could get anywhere near where we live is to san francisco tomorrow morning, two senior citizens are having to spend tonight in the food court at vancouver airport. NOT HAPPY.

We were given an upgrade which provided more seat room and a meal. However seat designated overhead locker space was used by others.Boarding was delayed with part or the delay due to staff assisting diaablef individuals aboard. Personal observation would suggest that 3 individuals rorted the system. They used wheel chair access to the plane, boarding with family ahead of al other passengers, but required no assistance until boarding occurred. On departure 3 “disabled” individuals were seen walking freely near the baggage carousel. One person even assisted with a luggage trolley! The rorting is most likely widespread and not airline specific

Flight attendants were delightful, smiling, anticipating needs, and overall excellent. Pilots kept us informed and made 1 of the best soft landings!

Delayed flight and did not do a good job updating us. Entertainment selection was weak, but I was thankful to have the behind the seat screen. No interaction with crew.

Not good with Kayak … There is no customer service number to call ?? We have stuck at Toronto airport but air Canada don’t help because we bought tickets thru Kayak .. Kayak should have customer service number listed for help .. Very bad .. we will think twice to buy the tickets thru Kayak next time.. Ahluwalia
