Sichuan Airlines was surprisingly great. The crew is fabulous, the plane was fantastic and nice and new (A350-900). I had a particularly nice flight attendant who kept me informed of all the flight progress and meals. I also got to sleep really well. Entertainment and food is more tailored to majority (Chinese) so I can’t really complain about that. Overall fantastic flight!
Very old business class seats, not fully flat, angled with a bar sticking in your back; seats old and apparently never cleaned, no mattress topper either, not the standard expected in J (also in awful 2-2-2 layout)! Ancient entertainment system of the pop-out type with tiny, old screen. Staff are OK but not proactive, need to be solicited, and of limited English skills, but they do try. Food and beverage options very limited (go for Chinese selection as their Western food is atrocious), no menu given and no dine-on-demand option. All in all, only choose if at a significant discount.
Definitely not top-of-the-range business class, but the A350 is certainly better than their other planes which feature an even older business class. Food/drink offerings are very limited and not up to business class standard, but OK. Staff are keen to help and friendly enough, although poor English language skills. Boarding experience in Rome was poor due to rude Italian staff at gate, but this is not the airline's fault. Onboard entertainment options are mediocre and limited. Sichuan Air is only wort it when obtained at low price and if you basically only want to sleep/rest and bring your own entertainment.
Not sure who to "blame" but I booked the ticket from SiChuan airline overseas. On the day of flight at the airport, I learnt that our passport information was not entered into the system. I was told by the SiChuan airline that this is not the first time that ticket booked overseas missing ID information. Since airport ticket counter does not have authority to add ID information, we have to call SiChuan airline customer service, Luckily, we arrived at the airport early enough to handle this and SiChuan airline customer service has been very helpful.
Dad experience when you check in in chenddu airport , service need to improve
Not good experience when you checkin in China, service need to prove
the rudest staff in the world!!! we had overweight baggage, which is our fault but it is a really stupid rule, and the woman said we could reorganise or pay now, we said we’d reorganise and she started shouting “do it now! hurry up!” even though the flight wasn’t even boarding yet. She told us that if our two cabin bags were below 14 together, then we wouldn’t have to pay 500k dong. We reorganised and our bags were below 14kg. She then said that it was all of our bags together that should be less than 14kg. We were obviously confused by this, because she had just said that it was our two cabin bags and we asked her why she told us to rearrange our bags then. She started shouting at us again saying that we needed to “pay now or throw away”. We said fine, we’ll just pay, and she suddenly started asking for 1.51 million dong. I asked her why it was suddenly over three times the price and she said that it was always that price. I asked to see the other piece of paper she had that had the other price and she slammed her one on top of it and started shouting “pay now or i’ll close the gate” (boarding was already finishing at this point). So, we had no choice but to pay three times the original price, even though we reorganised our cabin bags to be under the necessary weight like she had asked us to. I wouldn’t even be so upset about the money if the staff were at least a little bit nice. She was possibly the rudest, most ignorant woman I have ever met in my life. Besides that, the plane/flight was just a bit worse than ryanair standard. Small seats, delayed by an hour. Typical low budget. At least the ryanair staff don’t try to scam you. Avoid at all costs, it’s not worth the hassle of dealing with such horrible people.
The boarding process took very long, partly due to passengers on incoming flight took too long to deplane
The flight left on time and landed early. The attendants were polite and friendly. Thank you
Efficient and fast check in, courteous staff at counter and on board. On time departure and arrival. AIR ASIA is my favorite international thailand carrier for reasonable cost and excellent customer service!
Delayed us three times, changed gates twice, and then tried to charge for food on the plane.
Not good in terms of amenities. For over 6 hours they don’t even provide complementary drinks or snacks-forget about dinner or lunch.
Air Asia just dreadfull. Always poorest customer service and very unwelcoming staff which is clearly bread in from the Top down from the CEO
Everything was good. The red seats were a scam. Just like any other seat but red. Although they let you board earlier which was very nice.
Other than the bus wait time to off board passenger when we reached Don Muang, everything else was excellent
Very good, it would be good if payment for drinks could be accepted by card too.
This was my first time ever flying China Eatern and it will not be my last. I was very satisfied with my whole experience and trip. Thank you very much and until soon.
It was just fine. The sirlines did live up fully to my expectation.
The flight was delayed. The staff made us wait in the room that is too small and it was crowded and with no seats available for waiting. They did not tell us why the delay occurred.
While boarding at PVG, there was a ticket checking at the gate, then there was another ticket checking at the bottom of the escalator, which created quite a dangerous congestion. Not sure which idiot made this absolutely unnecessary arrangement.
While boarding at PVG, there was a ticket checking by the gate, then there was another ticket checking right at the bottom of the escalator, which created quite a dangerous congestion. Don't understand why the duplication?
I was traveling alone with an infant, so the crew was incredibly helpful. Both the international and subsequent domestic flights were impeccable.
Plane was good. But food was bad and air host was so rude. I will never fly with China Eastern again
The flight was delayed by 2 hours, although to their credit they delayed my connecting flight so people could reach it. Also their site is a nightmare to navigate on a phone. Everything else was good.
The ticket was last minute buy so no concerns about the pricing this time, but the crew in general could have been more accommodating, helpful.
CTU-KMG-CNX with 1.5 hr connection at KMG. Doable but just barely bc immigration exit from China is at the last flight leg, here: KMG to CNX. We hauled out of the domestic terminal to reenter at the international departures (luggage checked thru to CNX thankfully). Immigration had only two agents, even though KMG gets a HUGE number of foreigners. It took forever for such a shot line. Then security also took a while, so I just just made the connection. Recommend if you exit China with domestic international transfer, plan for 2+ hrs to avoid a heart attack. Airline personnel don’t suffer if you miss the flight, you do. Plan accordingly.
Very friendly and attentive flight attendants, good food service. Seat was comfortable. However, the in flight electronics were poor. The screen froze repeatedly; the controller died; the headphones are a hit or miss; the wifi wasn't usable. Very scarce communication before the flight (no email reminder). Almost impossible to understand in-flight communications (audio was very poor).
The meals were not the greatest and lacking of appetite but everything else was spot on
Overall, excellent: check-in, boarding, service, and food. The Business Class seating is a little less private and spacious than the world's premier airlines, but still very good for a long haul flight.
On time. Friendly and helpful flight attendants. The plane was clean. Having a wine available would have been nice.
Your staff was exceptional. Could teach the other airlines-rules on etiquette, and service. Excellent landings on flights, carried out by your pilots. Only complaint is long delay on return flight in Beijing, onto Vancouver.
Worst than I expected, crew was not attentive, meal was as disgusting , they didn’t even drink selections as they would to other passengers. I felt discriminated
cannot get seat information for LAX to IAH when check in in XI,AN
UA is ok. But check in was a very bad experience
I hate that you cannot check in online and when you are at the airport, there aren't any aisle seats left. Also, they could work a little on subtitles for their movies (not everyone is a native English speaker).
Nothing to complain of, the only reason I am not giving better marks is that I am used to flying with ANA and they are the top.
My two luggage issue during my trip from kansai osaka to Shanghai. 1st booked tickets online, a iliitle hard time to follow all questions when I booked tickets. I haven't selected 2 luggage so that Spring Airline of osaka crew charged $181 US Dollar with my 2 luggage fee. Also, crew member mentioned I maybe be able to get money some back because I should got differe rate, the rate of luggage should was matched with tickets I ordered from edreams. I did try to access edream at the day I was changing my boarding pass. Therefore, I hope Kayak if can help me getting some my luggage fees back, I will appreciate a lot. Thank you, Jie egusa
This is a terrible airline. Worst seats I’ve ever encountered. Avoid at all costs!
