Extremely poor at handling baggage. I had oversized golf bag and JAL would not recheck in Boston. Had to haul by myself to Jet Blue. Both JAL and Jet Blue claimed I had overweight bag. Had to adjust baggage several times. Will avoid JAL in future and I always avoid Jet Blue when I can. QATAR always superior.
JAL using the state of art A350-1000 for JFK to HND It’s a great plane to fly Very comfortable with lower cabin altitude Quieter cabin Wider seats Big tv screen Excellent service and catering
I fly to Asia twice a year for the last 15 years. I always try to fly JAL. It’s always a pleasant experience. Since TripCase shut down, this is the first time I used Kayak for live trip notifications. I was very pleased with Kayak’s quality and helpfulness of notifications. I will be using them going forward.
This flight was leg 2 of 2 leg journey. The staff at baggage re-drop in Tokyo were fabulous. Once at gate when time to board, had to take standing room bus to the tarmac to board. Did not like getting out to plane and having to wait 5 minutes until they opened bus door.
First experience with JAL so was okay to pretty good. 10 hour flight in premium select seat. . Seats in that category should be better than pretty good. Seat pan a little short for tall people but plenty of leg room; I think JAL in process of new planes? Also, — they could have offered a bit more water throughout flight and meals not the greatest. That said, certainly 200 percent better than a very recent AK Air International flight in similar cabin class in comfort and meals.
It's a domestic flight, but still the JAL quality shone through. The crew were polite and helpful and even prepared little gifts / souvenirs for the children on the flight, and everyone got a simple drink. The free wifi for entertainment on the personal device was also a great boon, and the shows surprisingly decent. Would recommend.
We ordered for non vegetarian Hindu meal but instead they served us vegetarian Hindu meal. That was also not good. It was very annoying and aggravating. Hope our return from Tokyo to jfk on March 27 same is not repeated. Caterar should understand difference between non vegetarian Hindu meal and vegetarian Hindu meal.
Allow gold card holders (Group 1) to board with their guest like other One World carriers do
Checked baggage process is confusing and time consuming especially when checking oversized bags. Very slow agents didn't help.
Food was great, Entertainment was bad, movies were not current and just did not have good variety. Granted I was tired so cranky might have played into my evaluation. Overall based on cost I definitely would fly them again. I am a million mile flyer on another airline, the service on JAL really beats all airlines.
Loved the staff, boarding and drink options! Wish the comfort of the seat could have been better nevertheless
So awful Unreliable Unfriendly Bad Mad Mean Smelly Hot Late Overbooked Understaffed Expensive Cramped Narcs If they were a fruit they’d be rotten durian
It was American airlines and it was awful like usual...
At the beginning of the flight there was some turbulence and the announcement was made that there would be no beverage service. The turbulence only last about 5 minutes then it was smooth sailing. I noticed that first class got their service, but the rest of us did not.
Not very good , the stewardess were unfriendly and they don't like to be bothered. Cos was a night flight and they need to sleep.
Everything about the flight was lovely…We left early, arrived early, cabin crew were efficient and helpful. Flight was easy and most pleasant.
American Airlines Suck. AA did not deliver us to the airport we paid for to Tulum. Instead, we were flown into Cancun and had to take a shuttle to Tulum. Instead of arriving at 4 PM, we arrived at 11:30 PM - not to mention that our initial booked flight was due into Tulum at noon. The latter flight was canceled and rebooked (to the 4 PM arrival). We lost a day of vacation. Oh, I forgot that AA provided a lunch voucher for $12. Noting, the least expensive item on the menu at the airport restaurant was green beans for $9.99. The return flight from Tulum was delayed two or three times for no reason other than that it was NOT related to the weather. We arrived late for our connecting flight from DFW to STL. Luckily, the connecting flight was delayed. We hurried through Customs and ran through the airport to make our flight to STL (or we would have missed that flight).
At least it was a short flight. Greyhound with wings.
Flight delayed, missed connection, had to stay overnight. Next flight instead of our business class we were booked on the very back row. Second time this had happened in 2 months.
The service and food needs to improve to catch up with other international flights
No space in overhead bin, one cookie, 2 oz of juice - is not customer service.
This was actually a bus ride to the KW airport. It was smooth and comfortable and on time.
In flight WiFi not working. entertainment system not functioning Food was mediocre poor for business class Service was ok but not excellent Crew were pleasant. Announcements were made at a ridiculous volume.
Food, service and the boarding/offloading aspects were great. Our only issue were the seats we booked in the exit row because it was next to the bathroom so we were interrupted all night by people waiting for and then opening and closing the door to use the facilities. Would have fine for a day flight but not so much for an overnighter.
Somebody either kayak or Air Canada booked my flight under my preferred name Betty instead of my legal name and I almost was denied boarding my flight
I will never fly Air Canada again. 5 hour delay due to plane problem which could have been fixed while plane sat empty. We offered a $15CAD voucher for dinner due to delay, BUT that is NOT Even enough for a hamburger. Air Canada rebooked my 87 year old mother on an onward flight in Munich with NINE HOUR layover without rebooking me on same flight. Air Canada apparently cancelled my onward flight as I was offered a refund for the Lufthansa leg from Munich. Fortunately, Lufthansa Service Center staff was very helpful rebooking us both on same flight which was one hour earlier, so only 8 hour layover. Lufthansa airport Mobility staff as well as plane crew were awesome and extremely helpful with wheelchair support. Spoke with others who were on same flight from YYZ to MUC and there was at least one other person that was not rebooked onwards (from Munich to Hamburg) by Air Canada but was able get support frkm LH Service Center staff. The Air Canada plane crew was very helpful, so the overall issue is Air Canada systems, and gate agents that have caused multiple negative issues on AC836 YYZ to MUC on May 18th. Similar to what others on this flight have said, I will NEVER, EVER, NEVER AGAIN fly Air Canada. And I've likely flown over 1 Million miles with them, with lots of miles in Business Class and have held Elite, and Super Elite status.
Good flight, slightly cramped as the seats are very close together
SIX HOUR FLIGHT DELAY!! $15.00 voucher to apologize. Missed our first tour in Quebec.
Terrible food, unprofessional flight attendants, and an uncomfortable seat. The food they provided was the worst I have ever had since I flew. They were worse than any cheap food you can get at convenience stores. I feel that a racist looking fight attendant was scanning me as she was passing by me. A man sitting in front of me fully extended his chair to the back, so I had virtually no space to eat with reasonable comfort. Many people were so inconsiderate of others and fully extended their chairs to the back that they did not have enough space to eat. Flight attendants ignored these situations and never bothered to tell passengers to return their chairs to upright positions during the mealtime. I want to be comfortable and don't care if others feel uncomfortable because of me. Those were the dominant thoughts of people in that airplane. I paid more than $2000.00 for this terrible experience.
Everything was fine, crew was great. Always appreciate an on-time flight.
