My experience with Emirates was very disappointing, particularly in how the disruption to my journey was handled. My connecting flight in Dubai was cancelled and I was provided overnight accommodation, but I was not advised that leaving the airport could affect duty-free items I had purchased at my original departure airport. When I returned for the rescheduled flight, the alcoholic beverages were confiscated. I was then initially refused boarding for my rescheduled flight, although this was eventually resolved. Onboard, I was allocated a next to a passenger who repeatedly shouted throughout the journey. I asked the senior cabin crew member to move me to vacant seats at the rear but was told they were reserved for crew. The same seats were only offered to me towards the end of the flight, when moving was of little benefit. I appreciate the hotel accommodation provided after the cancellation, but the overall handling, communication and customer service fell well below what I expected from Emirates. What began as a flight cancellation became a series of unnecessary inconveniences, financial loss and an extremely uncomfortable journey.
Timeliness seems to be optional. Flight was 30 min late despite not coming from anywhere else prior. Information on flight status boards in the airport continued to show “on time” despite being passed the time it should have left.
This777-300 is configured 2/3/2 for Biz class straight out of the 80s!!! Not to mention seats are narrow, bed does NOT FULLY RECLINE FLAT as advertised, and purser didn’t know that!! ARM REST HAS A REMOTE TABLET ON IT FURTHER CONFINING THE ALREADY NARROW SPACE!!! WHO thought this was a good design?? After flying the new A350-900 biz class Montreal to Dubai , this was a total let down!!
Super flight. On time departure and arrival. Very good service. Luggage arrival at DXB was a little delayed but you can’t have everything the very best :)
Over - amazing. The aircraft is somewhat old on this route.
The plane seemed pretty old and the food was not good
Amazing and great experience, crew was available and took great care of my parents. Food was nice and so was the service. Aircraft from Dubai to Mumbai was not so great and was a big showdown of the aircraft service
The food was amazing on our flight. So many options for movies and shows to stay entertained for 12 hours.
I was not allowed to upgrade with miles whereas others were. That’s a pity
Everything was good but I think food choices could've been better
It was a really good experience. Food, snacks, and beverages were good. Flight entertainment was also a good one.
Not consistent with the food quality (I mean taste not freshness)
Worst airlines either. First leg was delayed because of crew not available. My connection was missed so they booked me automatically the next day! But, impossible to get anyone on site, web site does not let me access my reservation anymore, confirmed by useless agents over the phone. My 2-leg trip with part in business class arriving at 4:10pm ends up in an awful 3-leg arriving at 9pm the next day with no way to even choose the seats and of course at the very end of the plane. I can understand problems arrive but the way Air France handle it is just unacceptable. You are on your own. Apparently getting you to your destination is the only thing they consider their duty. The customer experience and fatigue is none of their concern. And I have a status with them. I will reconsider my priorities when flying with Air France and encourage everyone to do the same.
3 hour delay but out of their control. App said I get vouchers but when I applied for them, they were nowhere to be found in my account
The male attended that served are section was a snob. He did not answer my call light when my wine spilled all over the floor. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it. He just ignored the call light when he came to give us our meal, serving the people behind us first. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it to see his reaction. It was so obvious that he was ignoring us. We were in premium economy!
There was 2 hours delay before boarding and 2 hours delay after boarding while waiting in the plane
They again did not offer any functioning WiFi in the transatlantic crossing.
We transited through Chad and what was supposed to be a 1hr 20 minutes transit time lasted over 4hrs. We didn't get regular updates until we complained. After a 10hr flight from Paris no form of refreshment given and finally arrived Abuja over 6hrs later and none of my bags came
My seat was so uncomfortable, and the headrest was broken. Very very disappointing for the price I paid.
The hard product, food, and service are far superior to their North American counterparts
The crew were very friendly and made me feel at home. They should give us food not snacks especially when traveling with an early plane. I think breakfast will be appreciated
No problems other than no seat back entertainment. Everyone was very pleasant
1st time using air Canada. We were a little delayed waiting for a new plane that did alter our plans for the evening but it was handled as best as possible. Everyone was pleasant.
It was our first time flying wit Air Canada. I found most everything very good, however, our flights leaving and returning were both delayed. And we were met with no place to de-board the plane and had to wait an additional 45 minutes on the plane after arrival. That was very disappointing. Also hefty fees both ways on what would normally be a carry on bag on any other airline.
Like the crew, the wifi set up was a trip. Might have been my device though
Too hot. Air from vents not working Long line for toilets Not enough staff to offer water throughout the flight
So cold. Too cold to sleep. Too cold to get comfortable. Wearing boots and a jacket and still so cold that I would need to curl up if a plane actually had enough room to allow me to do that. Miserable.
After we boarded, we sat on the tarmac at least a half hour. Not that big a deal really but kept me from giving the survey an excellent.
Traveling from Montreal to SFO, after landing in SFO, there was no announcement about where to claim our luggages. Our gate was in Terminal 1, and went to the luggage claim area in T1, but couldn't find any information on the screen. Eventually, an airport agent told us that our luggages would arrive in Terminal 2 luggage claim area.
Everything was excellent. I had lost my ID card and the flight attendant found it for me.
TV did not work Special food ordered not honored/not received Response to complaint and request not received Request for window seat but given isle seat even after paying for business class ticket
The following is a review for a flight from Johannesburg to Washington, DC with a connection at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and refueling landing at Rome, Italy. The flight was provided by Ethiopian Airlines. There were two of us: me and my wife on this flight. Everything was on time. Enough legroom between the seats, I was able to stretch my legs and sleep for at least some time during the 14 hour second flight (19 hours in total for both flights). Very decent meals that included two lunches and one breakfast on the flight from Addis Ababa to Washington and one lunch on the flight from Johannesburg to Addis Ababa. The lunch choices were beef, chicken and fish, I think the vegetarian option was available as well, accompanied with beans. The breakfast was a choice between egg and pancake, accompanied with a fruit salad. The egg breakfast was awesome, it came with a scrambled egg and a sausage. However, my wife mentioned unusual taste of the pancake breakfast meal, by all means those were not pancakes. What wasn't good: Externally initiated commercials on the infosystem screens, you couldn't turn the screen off. These commercials were accompanied by loud and annoying music, transmitted through the entire cabin. Obviously, there was no escape from this music as well. Additional moment: on the flight from Addis Ababa to Washington, DC, we landed at Rome for refueling. This was totally fine and it was in the flight itinerary. But, the flight attendant asked me to straighten the seat while we were at the steady position during the refueling. I can't rationalize this order except that some people just like to be a boss of some kind. Keeping the light lit in the economy cabin while keeping it dimmed in the first class also didn't improve my and my wife's feelings. Overall, the services were very good and the flight, despite its longevity, went on very smoothly.
A bit chaotic boarding flight but over all good experience.
We had a good flight experience with this airline despite reading many negative comments
The crew was unfriendly and very rude to name a few (Helina). I felt unsafe due to most of the cabinets were open while on flight. All in all the flight was ok, but the crew needed more training on customer service most of all for international flights.
The crew was not helping us in the airports ..Very bad experience..the washrooms are not meeting the expectations..need more good service... The hotel service was good but there is a very long wait time which wasted time to go through..
POSITIVES The hostesses were mostly pleasant, NEGATIVES The full flight wifi was horrible, hardly able to use it. My charger port was not working which made me use my neighbour's port which resulted in an accident which ruined her flight. During dinner, meat ran out when the cart got to us forcing us to eat vegetarian which was not great. We watched everyone around us eating meat. My wifi did not transfer to the second leg of my trip as they promised as they changed the plane. I was thrown off the window seat I booked for the 2nd leg of my journey as they changed planes, all done at my expense. This was not a cheap flight ($2600) which i hurriedly had to book to attend my mother's funeral who passed away suddenly. I was honestly disappointed with the whole saga as I heard Ethiopian Airlines was one of Africa's best.
1. They messed up my baby food order. 2. They messed up my confirmed seats. 3. The screen on my seat was not working at all. So, it’s a horrible experience
I was a good, but long trip. The airline did a good job. I would use them again.
The flight was one hour late. The food is mediocre and the screen was broken
Everything was good except the seats we originally picked we did not get when we paid for extra leg room. Had to wait till last minute to get assigned our seats which was nerve racking
While the connection was efficient and my luggage arrived intact, the overall onboard service was disappointing. Despite being on a flight lasting more than eight hours in a very cold cabin environment, my request for a blanket was denied on the grounds that blankets were not available for that flight segment. This was particularly surprising, as many airlines, including Ethiopian Airlines, provide blankets upon request even on significantly shorter flights. The lack of accommodation left me uncomfortable and congested throughout the journey. In addition, the crew's overall demeanor seemed indifferent, resulting in a service experience that fell short of expectations for a long-haul flight.
In business on the top-deck of an overnight transatlantic flight. A family with uncontrolled young children were there too. All night they were running around up and down the walkway while squealing . . .
Boarding was weird. They boarded two flights at the same gate at the same time. So mass confusion for the non English/French speakers. So many people at such a small gate. Like every other part of this airport you have to walk miles between everything. Gate to plane was a 5 min walk :) several long flights so I was worried about my steps but ended up walking several miles here so worked out.
Good but I don’t received my bags yet is been 5days still no update
I never got to Lufthansa because of Air Canadas negligence.
The flight got delayed 3 hours from Montreal and we missed our connecting flight so it was a long journey
The service and food was excellent. The remote control for entertainment did not function properly.
All was good, except my USB charging did not work, so my phone got drained and I could not charge it. Same happened to my neighbour.
Great crew helped a great deal during flight as was not feeling well.
