See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.
6 hour delay and they didnt try to make up any time during an over 10 hour flight
Very good; seat made ready for bed after meal, a plus since one airline covered the seat at the start.
Entertainment was not good. Seems like liquor should’ve been advertised only beer and wine was even though I saw others getting liquor didn’t realize I could. And the food to me could’ve been a little bit.
Food choices perhaps not the best. Only offered beer and wine, when it appeared other liquor was available. Entertainment wasn’t so good.
They charged me over a $1000 dollars to bring two surfboard bags as check baggage. Inappropriate and I would avoid flying sgain
The experience on Fiji Airways was absolutely amazing. Streamlined. All staff was amazing. Pleasant. Friendly. Extremely helpful.
Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.
Comfortable as one can get in Economy, food was very good, staff were super friendly & efficient.
Really liked the plane and business class seat. Food was ok but could be better. Service was very good.
we booked with Alaska but the flight was operated by AA, and this meant we were unable to check in online. We arrived at the airport to check in over 3 hours before the scheduled flight time, but were not able to be seated together (2 people on the same booking). So we had middle seats solo on a 11 hour flight which sucked
When we checked in our luggage, we had to use the tray, but include this tray is extra weight. I think you should not use the tray.
I rated the food and entertainment as poor due to the fact the flights were short in duration and no food serves or entertainment provided.
I like the short flight to Seattle and San Francisco. The boarding was fairly easy and the flight was as to be expected. The in-flight entertainment could be improved with wifi options. Paying $8 and then losing internet access and being told that flight attendants didn't want to serve beverages and snacks on board was disappointing because they didn't want to move a cart up and down the aisle blaming it on air turbulence which wasn't a problem.
There were no movies, have to pay for internet, only pretzel, cookie, & a beverage for a 7 hr. flight..
We were delayed over an hour because of fog at the destination--not Alaska's fault, but it still made the experience a little frustrating on the day before Thanksgiving.
We were amazed by the amazing food, comfort and service received in our coach seats. Pleasantly surprised we received breakfast and great beverages for no charge. Bag check fee was on $35. The crew was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
Good but a boarding pass for my return flight was not sent to me.
I was traveling with my parents to San Francisco. One of front counter employees saw my parents are senior, he let us boarding first which was so thoughtful.
Cabin was a bit cold. Didn’t seem like they turned up the heat until we were half way. All personnel were wonderful.
The flight we had booked was cancelled due to bad weather conditions, but we were lucky to arrive at the airport quite early and got a seat on an earlier flight. The flight was mostly nice, but there were some hefty turbulences towards Queenstown. One of the passengers behaved hysterically. It would have been great if the crew had done something to calm her.
Major hassle with the weight of carryon luggage Having to repack bags at airport Not an issue in most of world Ridiculous issue considering the 400 pound gentleman sitting behind us
Everything very good except the sofa couch not as comfortable as expected.
Liked the non-stop option, can always use more leg room!
typical long haul economy flight. Food was mediocre, inflight service was average. Offered in flight snacks but in seat ordering didn't work. Entertainment was good.
Would have been nice to have decaf coffee as an option, and perhaps a scone
Overall, a great experience from food and crew. The only setback was that this was the Second flight from Air New Zealand within a week that was an hour late for boarding.
New Zealand crew were attentive. We were not informed that we needed transit document to pass through New Zealand. A checkin employee helped with this for which we were thankful.
Overall good. We had to transfer to Bradly terminal. We had requested wheelchair assistance. The bus that picked us up had to wait for other passengers. The wait was long. Then, at the Bradly terminal we had to wait an extended period of time for the wheel chair assistance. These delays caused tension at checked in and resulted in arriving at the gate as passengers were boarding.
The boarding process was less than ideal. While I liked being greeted with “Kia Ora”, the rest of the process was very average for business-class travel — queue, crowding, no clear separation between economy and business premier. The aircraft felt old, even though I believe it was only 6 years’ old. Travelling in Business Premier in Air New Zealand is like sitting in a glass bowl. One can see everyone, and everyone can see others. Very bad structuring of seats. If you have a choice, fly another airlines like Singapore Airlines for business — I had the option, but chose this flight due to it’s departure time. Regrettable decision. I had opted for Vegan food choice. Very poor food as well as service. It is as if the chefs preparing the meal have little idea what nutritious, healthy and filling plant-based food is. And the crew were totally uncoordinated. In the main dinner meal, the first thing I was served was a fruit bowl, and then followed by other items. No mention was made that the fruit bowl (served first) was the dessert! And then after my meal tray was cleared another steward (not the one who served the main meal) comes around asks me that now that I had had the would like the dessert. I said yes, please. He went off and comes back to tell me discreetly that I’ve already had my dessert! He also didn’t know what the dessert was — and I guess it was the fruit platter that was the first item I was served. I was traveling with partner, who had similar experience. For her, they just cleared her table without offering dessert. Extremely poor coordination. The area behind the seats was extremely dirty. I just happened to use the overhead light to try and locate something that had fallen, only to be horrified at the dust, crumbs and all kinds of other particles. The only good thing about the flight was that when it ended, our bags came very very quickly. But that I guess is more to do with airport operations for Air New Zealands at Auckland Airport rather than the flight itself. I would think very hard next time I have to fly Business Premier in New Zealand, especially on Boeing 787-9NZM, which this plane was. Basically if you are selecting seats and find that they are at a diagonal angle, do not book this if you are looking for luxurious travel. Better off with premium economy or a good economy seat. The quality of food and service indeed was way below par.
Overall, it was a good experience. Boarding was good and there was plenty of overhead bin space for everyone’s carryons (even when we boarded toward the end). Only improvement would be to offer trash service more regularly.
How badly can you screw up baggage claim? We were told to go to baggage claim too for our bags from this flight. Another flights bags were there. They finished up. More bags from a different flight arrived. Our bags did not Finally the baggage claim belt stopped working and and are flight was still listed on the arrivals for that baggage claim 2. And then nothing It turns out that they had been delivered not only the United baggage claim but far away on a Delta baggage claim No I never told us. It was only the people looking around who had been on the flight But I’m sure there was plenty of time for the employees to raffle through the bags and steal whatever they wanted
The first flight was an hour and a half late leaving, thus missing my connection. The second flight Departure was two hours late Leaving.
We were delayed because of ground crew, not because the plane wasn’t ready to go. The food was better than usual!
More water distribution throughout flight. Food quality poor and hot items delivered not hot on both attempts. Not United Standards
Good plane, crew, and flight. Boarding was a bit chaotic. Bathrooms were unacceptable. United DESPERATELY needs a new terminal at IAD.
This was a short flight with no food. The attendants were great but the comfort was poor: just to cramped. The flight from Denver to Frankfort was excellent! Seating was roomier, food was good, service was good. This was a great experience.
It was so uncomfortable for 14 straight hours it was torture
Never happened, because of the first delayed flight I lost the connection and had to wait overnight and take two flights to reach my destination.
Flying to anchorage would have been cool but the weather got in the way
Excellent bit seats are still a little too small and there's that $75 baggage charge.
Overcharged by either United or Air Canada. Abuse of access to my credit/debit card.
The problem in part was with the airports, not really the fault of Air Canada. Confusing directions regarding the gate, in Seattle the recommended shuttle train entrance was not working. Simular problems in Toronto. Baggage arrived in good time. Marx Bros movie on entertainment from Seattle. I was told I was laughing too loudly, by the flight attendant. No lounge in Seattle. Lounge in Toronto excellent.
Baggage lost and still waiting. Lack of communication. Expect more from our national airline
This was an Air New Zealand flight. All went very smoothly even during the busy Christmas travel period. Thank you!
Having the take off and boarding postponed back and forth a few times was unsettling. The crew wasn’t all that friendly and attentive. Washrooms were filthy from the beginning. Like it never had been cleaned.
It was a small plane and difficult to put my carry-on bag in the overhead compartment. The crew was awesome and boarding was good.
After several delays, the flight was canceled. I was “lucky” and able to get rebooked on a flight that left two hours later. The flight itself was fine although I didn’t like my meal. Flight delays and cancellations are far too common on Air Canada.
The flight was 5 hours delayed and I was going to miss all my connections and have to stay in Toronto. They would not help me with a hotel in Toronto and I was on my own until I landed in Canada. I paid for a seat upgrade and they would not honor that.
The way in which the zones are lines up causes confusion the sign says zone 1, zone 2, zone 3-6. All the people in zones 3-6 line up and then the zones are called individually this causes confusion and there must be a better way to do this, other than that the flight crew, the plane and everything else was perfect.
