Pros: “Crew was great”
Cons: “No entertainment at all, read the brochure a few times”
Cons: “My seats were preassigned and at 24 hour check In you have to pay to change from economy to economy into a available seat. Make no sense and is rude. Very disappointed in WestJet and I’m anElite member.”

Pros: “over great job and service.”
Pros: “Crew was friendly”

Cons: “Can’t think of anything within WestJet’s control that was bad.”
Pros: “The two flights were fine, nice WestJet staff on the ground and in the air. But it will be very inconvenient if I don’t get my clothes, toiletries, and other things I need for my trip.”
Cons: “As I said, my suitcase (that I checked through yeti Paris) is missing….”
Pros: “Crew was great . Seats not so much,”
Cons: “Maybe a movie for everyone.”
Pros: “Roomie seat. Professional curdious crew. Fast smooth flight. Westjet connect access for entertainment.”
Pros: “Entertainement”

Pros: “Great service and friendly employees!”
Cons: “Early on first flight on arrival but late departing by 30 mins due to westjet delay of crew”
Pros: “I got to watch “The Post”, which took the entire time of the flight. I’ve wanted to see that movie for months and didn’t know how that would happen! Easy flight, good service, friendly crew.”
Pros: “That I didn’t have to pay extra to check my bike as luggage. The crew and folks who work for west jet were really really friendly and helpful.”
Cons: “That my bike didn’t arrive with me on the plane and that it wasn’t trackable once I arrived so I have no idea it’s status. It might interfere with my ability to complete my bike trip as planned, depending on how long it’s delayed.”
Pros: “Care by crew”
Cons: “Premium seat a disappointment for the money $120 Awful food cold and spongy sandwich”

Pros: “The crew was amazing and the boarding process went smoothly and fast.”
Cons: “There was no entertainment for those of us without a compatible mobile/tablet device (I have a Nokia, therefore can’t access the app). As always no complimentary meal but that’s becoming a norm in most companies – strange how the prices don’t really go down though… Seats were hard and unconfortable”

Pros: “Delayed 2hours 30 min”
Cons: “Never flying with wast jets any more”

Cons: “No entertainment, tv. Seats are very uncomfortable, as well”
Pros: “Great service and atmosphere! The crew was so helpful!”
Cons: “I wish you could make the seat space bigger…”
Pros: “They looked after us very well there was voter fraud hotel and meals”
Pros: “The flight was not cancelled in spite of poor weather”
Cons: “Flight on tarmac for 2 hours after loading passengers no word regularly from pilots or anyone for a long time. Baggage loading and no accountability for huge delays for lost luggage containers? Who is the logistics team? This is not the first time westjet has provided poor service on their international flights. Training if ground staff onsystems is poor. He guest services at tronto openly claimed they did lot know how to operate certain screens for transactions.”
Cons: “I didn’t like having to go outside in the cold to board the plane and to deplane.”
Pros: “Nothing”
Cons: “Flight was cancelled unexpectadly. Notified 4am with no resolution but to fly out almost 48 hours later.”
Pros: “Crew was very nice”
Cons: “Baggage got lost”
Pros: “everything else was awesome!”
Cons: “for much of the flight, the temp. on the plane was way too hot and there was nothing we could do about it. as i’m prone to anxiety attacks, especially while flying, this was a great concern”
Pros: “I had my mom who needed wheel chair assistance, and an agent helped push her and made sure she was comfortable. I couldnt have asked for anything more. Very appreciative of the considerate service and help.”
Pros: “a very calm flying experience. no bells and whistles but consistently friendly and mostly efficient”
Pros: “Free booze”
Cons: “Late”

Cons: “Late boarding and then late departure After landing, baggage delayed as well”
Pros: “Stewardess let me change seats to a cooler part of the cabin at the back of the plane.”
Cons: “The air temperature in the cabin was too hot.”
Pros: “The service was fantastic. It always is. I always use west jet and have never had any issues. Friendly staff very helpful. I will continue to use west jet. My parents live in Calgary and I travel a lot for work so you will see me again.”
Pros: “The staff with West Jet are extremely helpful and friendly. I wish the American carriers would take lessons from them.”
Flight got delayed in SFO. Had layover in Copenhagen for 1 hours but missed my connecting flight because of delay in SFO. Had to wait 6 hours in Copenhagen for next flight :'(
Pros: “Flight was fine….”
Cons: “….but departure wa delayed over an hour”
Pros: “Seat was comfortable. Entertainment was great. The service by the crew was great.”
Cons: “It would have been nice if the armrest went as far back as the seat. Flying with my partner, she doesn’t sleep well on planes unless she can completely lean on me. The armrest between our seats only retracted to the upright seat level.”
Pros: “A lot of seating space. very comfortable.”
Cons: “You have to pay for wifi.”
Cons: “We paid for meals that were NOT delivered”
Pros: “Cool crew”
Cons: “More leg space on economy section”
Cons: “Seats and spaces seemed a tad smaller and less comfortable than other airlines”
Cons: “Momondo sold me a so called ‘go light’ ticket (not disclosed anywhere though) meaning that only 1pc of carry on was allowed! No checked bags unless purchased. Could not see on the price of my ticket that this was the type of new generation low quality tickets. So tired of momondo.”
Cons: “SFO-Copenhagen was cancelled. Only hint for that came from Kayak which I didn’t even use for booking (I used Flyus). Sas and Flyus didn’t notify us and sas customer service had to actually use 5 min to verify that flight was cancelled after we called them. That left some poor rebooking options. Anyway, I am very disappointed how Sas didn’t notify us. It would have been even nastier if we had got to the airport before realizing that flight was cancelled.”
Pros: “For a middle seat, it wasn’t bad”
Cons: “The seat I selected was changed. I selected 45C and was assigned 54 E Upon check-in. Why? An aisle seat vs middle seat when I paid full faire is unacceptable. Also it was not made clear that I would have had to pay to check luggage. $120??!!!! I always carry on and this could have been easily avoided by not bringing gifts. Again, $120?!!!!! On top of an $1100 flight? You have to be kidding me.”
Pros: “entertainment in the back of the front seat with great choice of movies”
Cons: “I would have liked to have had the chance to purchase a better seat. When I asked about it at check-in the plane was full. So I was squeezed in the middle section which made it quite uncomfortable, especially if you have to get up more frequently as an older person, but your neighbor is asleep. A notification about the possibilities for seat purchases would have been great!”
Cons: “Delayed flight – 2 1/2 hrs. No advance info. Departure gate change after check in. No Info at original gate. Unfriendly staff. No apology. No explanation for delay. Food substandard, even for cheap airlines.”
Cons: “When people lean their seats back their heads end up in your face and you are forced to lean your seat back to make separation from passenger in front of you”
Pros: “Movies”
Cons: “We were in 40G and H, bulkhead seats. I have never had such a hot plane (and I am a world traveler). We were both very warm (felt like 85 degrees- warm enough to not be comfortable). I was told by the flight attendant that people in back of plane were freezing. The breakfast was good, but the dinner was ok, but not ‘I wish I could have seconds” good. I lowered the rating because they never gave us more than the one bottle of water that was on our seats when we arrived. That may have been ok for the people in the cold part of the plane but not for us in the sweating part. Luckily we had brought a big bottle of water.”
Pros: “Seats are pretty comfortably and spacious for economy class (I’m small though, so take that with a grain of salt). The lunch was pretty solid, would have preferred a hot breakfast. The vegetarian breakfast was grilled veggies with fruit and yogurt on the side, kind of a mish-mash of things.”
Cons: “- Would have liked a better breakfast – More entertainment with subtitles (esp foreign films) – More entertainment selection”
Cons: “I would like more checked baggage allowance.”
Cons: “Luggage lost or misdirected and VERY poor effort in getting it delivered to me, once found. I still have no clothes, shaver, toiletries . . . or confirmation on when/if delivery will happen. Just simply disrespectful!!!”
Pros: “i ended up missing the flight, due to car accident which involved injuries.”
Pros: “Power in the seats!”
Cons: “That plane was so hot!”
Pros: “I purchased Plus and found it a good value. My seat on the overseas leg was comfortable — though it could have reclined better. The food & drink service was conducted as at an elegant restaurant.”
Pros: “The gate agent at check-in was very helpful and knowledgeable. The entire ground crew did a good job. The crew was friendly and attentive. The plane was clean. The entertainment options were more than adequate. Bathrooms were well kept.”
Cons: “I know you can’t expect coach to be luxurious. But the space between seats in the airline industry in general have gotten ridiculously small. Words were exchanged between my wife and the lady (nothing extreme, but still) in the seat in front of her. When the lady leaned her seat back, my wife could barely watch her movie. All in all, I would definitely fly SAS again.”
Pros: “The crew was nice, the plane was large and had many bathrooms. The seats were comfortable enough and there was a good selection of movies to watch.”
Cons: “The boarding process was completely disorganized and hectic. The woman making the announcements on the plane was extremely soft spoken and the PA system was static-y so I could neither hear nor understand any of the announcements. The refrigeration system for the food also broke down on the plane so we weren’t fed our second meal. Instead, they chose the cheapest and most unappealing snack of plain almonds to give us. Despite confirming our luggage situation with us at the first airport repeatedly (because of our connecting flight) SAS still temporarily lost our baggage when we arrived at our final destination and caused us to stay an additional hour at the airport after already having spent an exhausting day travelling.”
Pros: “It was a normal flight, only a few hours long. The crew was very nice.”
Cons: “Once again, just some leg, and arm space issues but that’s to be expected.”
Cons: “Flight delayed so that would not be able to make the SAS flight. Therefore had to switch flights to go to CHicago instead. But initial flight was booked under alaska–but boarding pass unable to be printed from any of the kiosks and we were told to talk to American. American didn’t know anything about it. THen stood in Assistance line for 45 minutes to be told that we needed to talk to VIrgin American. They rebooked us on to American, which then promptly was also delayed for several hours, and we thereby missed our connection. Throughout the process there were no customer service representatives either in person or on the phone who were remotely helpful. Overall, worst travel experience of my life.”
Cons: “The SFO crew was not helpful at all. Upon check-in, the SFO to Copenhagen leg of the flight was 2.5 hours delayed. When I expressed concern to the SFO ground crew, they said “You’ll be taken care of in Copenhagen” in a very dismissive manner. I noted that we would miss our connecting flight (Copenhagen to LHR) and that there wouldn’t be another direct flight that day. The SFO crew member told me that I was wrong that there was another flight available (a 4:30 pm flight). I told her that that flight wasn’t on the SAS website and she told me that I didn’t know what I was talking about in a rude manner. When I arrived in Copenhagen, the ground crew informed me that there was not a 4:30 pm flight and there never was. To get to London, I had to be fly first to Frankfurt then to London on another airline. Overall, this delay cost me over 6 hours. Utterly unacceptable and will never fly SAS again.”
Cons: “Not water for children.”
Pros: “It was a pleasant flight with friendly service. Boarding was smooth and efficient.”
Cons: “Food choices and limited entertainment. I know that SAS need to remain competitive, but strict limits in drinks seems a bit cheap.”
Pros: “Comfortable seats, nice selection of movies. The best price at that time.”
Cons: “Crew attitude was not pleasant: no smile, no “you’re welcome”, as they were robots. Food was terrible.”
Pros: “The seats were comfortable. Two meals offered for the 10.5 hour nontstop flight between San Francisco and Copenhagen.”
Cons: “A little more leg room. Ability to change seat once reservation made online. The SAS website does not show your seat relative to entire place seat availability. Would have liked 24 hour customer service by phone option. They are actually closed for phone calls at night.”
Pros: “paying extra for more legroom”
Cons: “Everything, small seats, lack of variety for movies, poorly trained staff, lost baggage, delayed flight and missing connection. SAS has dropped in quality”
Pros: “The new cabin and video monitor are nice. Crew was polite.”
Cons: “Food is the same as I flew last year. Taste is the same. Need some changes and variety. Movies can include more recent ones.”
Pros: “I upgraded for reasonable $$ and it was great – will do it again! Flight was in time, easy, friendly service and good flight”
Pros: “Direct flight”
Cons: “Small seats”
Pros: “they let us sleep, keeping the light and announcements off during most of the flight”
Cons: “staff at the gate kept changing my seat without my consent. i had reserved a seat online and they ended up seating me aomewhere else.”
Pros: “Quick boarding , no delay”
Cons: “Flight attendants were not so friendly and as entertainment the movies were outdated.”
Cons: “Bought tickets 8 months before flight. Was put on Standby status. Unable to get confirmed seat assignment until about 15 minutes before flight. Wasn’t sure we would make flight until new boarding pass was issued by gate agent. And that boarding pass bounced when trying to board plane. New boarding pass had to be issued with another seat assignment. SAS is on my no fly list.”
Pros: “The Boarding was fast and the Entertainment ok”
Cons: “Minimal Service Southwest style. Not the best international trip.”
Pros: “Entertainment comfy seats”
Cons: “Food could be better chicken too spicy for kids”
Pros: “Flight was breezy, no complains. Nice staff Food leaves room for improvement but over all a pleasant experience But please read below”
Cons: “So you lost my luggage.. These things happen. However.. If someone pays 8 k for a one way ticket you might be able to come to the conclusion that it’s an urgent trip as is. And respond or /and follow up so that I know what to do as far as cancel all things and /or max out my cc to get the things I need. Nothing from you, no word. No one picking up the phones. 8 thousand dollars worth of silence.”
Cons: “The gate for boarding was not open till it was time to board. I do not know why they could not have us sit in the boarding area, we were standing for a long time.”
Cons: “My flight was canceled the day before my departure via email. The customer service contact number for SAS did not work–I tried multiple times over the course of 12hrs+. The online help page gave a 404 error. I had no way of contacting anyone from SAS. Later that night (night before I was supposed to depart), I received another email saying I was booked on a United flight about 5hrs earlier than I planned on leaving. I had to cancel my morning plans with my wife to make the earlier flight. I never (still, a week later) was able to contact anyone from SAS.”
Pros: “food was decent, more recent tv/movie system than my first flight.”
Cons: “lost my bag, no updates 24 hours later had to pay for alcoholic beverages on 9+ hour flight”
Pros: “The direct flight makes a difference and leaving from SFO is easy. Boarding was a cinch and it was a pleasant surprise to find a pillow, blanket, and headphones waiting at my seat. Once we were settled in and in the air, it was a pretty comfortable ride. The in flight enteretainment has good content, as long as your console works. Meals were very good and served at good times. There was also plenty of water available at the attendants station throughout the flight. There’s no booze offered with meals for free, so if you want a drink you’re going to pay for it.”
Cons: “There were a LOT of families with small children who clearly had never flown or did not like to fly. Despite it being close to the bathrooms, it might be a better option to get seats further away from the doors (the extended legroom also provides space for a hanging crib). I was woken up by crying quite a bit. While the legroom is good, the reclining angle of the seats counters that if you also don’t recline your seat. Also check for seats with entertainment boxes under them, as you lose a lot of space to store your things and extend your legs under the seat in front of you.”
Pros: “Boarding was easy and fast, and it wasn’t a full flight. The Copenhagen airport makes for a very nice layover stop. Drinks were served, but it’s too short for anything else. Got us there early and with no complications.”
Cons: “Seats were REALLY uncomfortable. no padding what-so-ever. Expect a flat butt st the end of the flight.”
Cons: “It was very cold.”
Pros: “The flight was on time, and the food was fine. Blankets, pillows and cheap headphones provided.”
Cons: “Uncomfortable seats, broken entertainment system, outdated headphone jacks, and disinterested crew.”
Pros: “Everything else.”
Cons: “The first two hours of flight was extremely rocky.”
Pros: “Both flights were on time, excellent service, food was much better than average.”
Pros: “Airbus 320”
Cons: “Lands at CDG1, the old terminal”
Pros: “Everything about this booking was a disaster. Not the least of which is that my bags are still on London and are total travel time will end up being about 24 hours returning.”
Pros: “Had a fantastic flight and the crew was nice.”
Pros: “Quick boarding, kind crew”
Cons: “All food and drinks for a cost. I had to run to make it to my gate which was quite a distance and a shuttle ride away.”
Pros: “Friendly crew Excellent movie selection Soft blankets Clean bathrooms”
Cons: “The “American breakfast burrito” tasted like the cardboard it was warmed up in No email updates sent to check in or enter international traveler information (eg, passport number).”
Pros: “Non stop flight, boarding”
Cons: “Food was terrible and seat comfort is bad”
Pros: “The staff are always lovley”
Cons: “They lost my bags and 5 days later I still don’t have them.. traveling alone with a baby for Christmas.. all my gifts were in that bag so Christmas is a bit of a loss.. I find it way to difficult to get refunded or reimbursed for my loss”
Pros: “The crew was nice.”
Cons: “We thought we were flying British Airlines. The seats were extremely uncomfortable. Foodcwss not good”
Cons: “Late boarding and had to wait 20 to 25 min in tge plane before tge doors of the plane finally opened.”
Cons: “Had to cancel. Impossible to workout fair flight change for outgoing flight only – caused cancellation and repurchase return leg for no reason but greed, as Aer Lingus did not impose this. After multiple long waiting periods on the phone to work this out no one ever picked up. We will never book through Kayak/JustFly again.”
Pros: “Flight was ok.”
Cons: “No free food or drink service.”
Cons: “The flight was delayed by two hours. The one of the crew members – I think his name was Gerry – was quite rude and negligent: for example he did not give an infant life vest to our baby saying that it won’t be needed…”
Pros: “Boarding was smooth. The staff was extremely friendly. The games on the video screen weren’t bad.”
Cons: “There was a technical problem with the plane at our gate when we landed, so we were on the tarmac for an hour waiting for a gate to open. Video choices were limited, and Internet was extremely overpriced.”
Pros: “Staff where unbelievable nice and kind”
Pros: “The crew was great once aboard, the food was well above average for airplane food, the drinks were reasonably priced and the entertainment options were great.”
Cons: “Attempting to check in online the day before was a nightmare and after half an hour on two different sites and an hour of speaking to very rude customer service reps for both BA and Aer Lingus, we were told we just had to check in in person. The check-in line opened fifteen minutes late, the woman who checked us in didn’t answer our questions because she was busy talking to her friend. Once on the plane the Airbus seats were truly awful and should not hold a person for 10+ hours. The wifi also never worked.”
Pros: “Timeliness of flight and service on board.”
Cons: “We upgraded 7 travelers for priority boarding. However as we got through check in, 2 of us were told we had to check our carry on. Mind you our carry on was the same size (exact same suitcase) as 2 others in our party who did not have to check in their bags? “Priority Boarding is now only €4.99. Be the first on board to store your cabin bag and relax in your seat before take-off.” I believe I am entitled to a refund based on the info on above taken directly from the Aer Lingus website.”
Pros: “Great choice of movies and TV shows.”
Cons: “The underseat area for storing carryon is SMALLER than on my last trip in Aer Lingus. My simple backpack which has always fit under would not this time.”
Cons: “At checkin the crew at Aer Lingus claimed that they could not issue a Gate pass, which is offered by all other airlines at SFO.”
Cons: “Free-for-all boarding was less than ideal. Boarding by seat rows as on Boston to Dublin flight would have been better.”
Pros: “The seat was comfortable on the newer plane and the in flight entertainment was excellent.”
Cons: “The airline features an upgrade yourself bid option that starts at a minimum bid. We went above this and got rejected, only to find there were still open seats. They tried to then upsell is at 4x the cost which makes the entire thing seem terribly dishonest. After calling customer service, they hung up on me. It’s clearly a scam to extract more pricing data from customers.”
Cons: “Missing connecting flight”
Pros: “The seats were more comfortable than flying on a Dreamliner. I like the 2-4-2 layout.”
Cons: “Some of the flight attendants were very unprofessional and I could hear them in the back while taxiing for take-off complaining about the job. The food was terrible and was served 3 hours after take-off. Every flight I’ve taken to Europe has at least had extra water bottles in the back of the plane and this flight had nothing. However, my flight from DUB to SFO was great. The flight attendants were happy, the food was good and they had extra water bottles in the back of the plane for everyone to use. I think the service suffers significantly on flights to Dublin from the US.”
Pros: “Great Plane, Fantastic service. Did their best to take care of us. Provided us with vegetarian meals and requested and plenty of drinks, including wine and beer.”
Cons: “Boarding a bit disorganized, but this seems to be an issue with most flights.”
Pros: “Crew was very considerate.”
Cons: “Two hour flight delay small aisle/seats.”
Pros: “Quick Boarding”
Cons: “Flight was delayed for an hour”
Pros: “Staff was nice.”
Cons: “Food and drink service were very bad. Not enough water throughout the flight. And that is what keeps us healthy in long oversees flights. They ran out of bottled water. No decent healthy snack choices, just airline pretzels. Very sub par for an internatiinal flight!”
Pros: “Dublin airport is cold. Security between plane in correspondance area to crowded and unnecessary.”
Cons: “The good part was that I paid for what i received. So anyway why do I complain.”
Pros: “Better not serve this burrito who does not look like food if you read the ingredients.”
Cons: “The seat was to narrow once the person in front of me recline her sit. Luckily the plane was not full and was able to seat somewhere else.”
Pros: “Flying overnight across the U.S., and then the Atlantic, to Dublin would have been very difficult if not for the accommodations and service provided by Aer Lingus. The reception was warm and comfortable. The in-flight food and service was perfect. The environment was conducive to sleeping during this red eye flight.”
Cons: “I have no complaints, to be honest. The flight attendants were so welcoming and accommodating to every request. They were efficient and quick to respond to my questions and requests.”
Cons: “One of the on flight crew members was extremely rude, ignoring repeated request for coffee – skipping my husband when she was offering routinely in order, didn’t respond to several calls after she skipped then gave him water, acted annoyed when he reiterated he wanted coffee like everyone else. Also insisted my sleeping 7 yr old upright his chair for beverage service when everyone around us had their seat reclined(the people around us were all Caucasian btw) and she didn’t seem to feel the need to remind them.”
Pros: “The crew was pleasant and accommodating to me, my wife, our 3-year-old and 1-year-old for both legs. The planes were in good shape and everything was on time. The balthrooms were clean and felt spacious. I didn’t eat the dinner because we ate a large dinner before the long flight. I did tasted it and it was good. The selections of movies was also very good.”
Cons: “Thw system they use for in flight entertainment was a little glitchy.”
Cons: “It was like squeezing everyone into a cattle truck and airport crew double book seats of a few passengers on a full flight so there was confusion on board”
Cons: “Flight was delayed over 2 hours. They also lost my luggage. Very poor and rude customer service.”
Cons: “I made my reservations for British Airways and the flight was by Aer Lingus.”
Cons: “I can’t actually make a comment on the food since u have to pay for it and I didn’t want to. Nothing appealed enough to pay for it. Entertainment wise, there was no entertainment so I have it one star”
Pros: “Confort”
Cons: “Too cold”
Pros: “Fantastic flight service”
Cons: “Lost luggage for three days. Had to buy clothing. Staff seemed dismissive when I went in a search on the third day back to the EDI airport. They said they didn’t have any information about it and that it was probably in Dublin. Later it showed up at my hotel with no call or notification. Not acceptable. Probably will avoid Aer Lingus in the future.”
Cons: “The food was terrible, could not consume.”
Pros: “Friendly cabin crew.”
Cons: “My baggage is still missing a week after my flight arrived and no news about it. I can’t get in touch with anyone from the airline or who can help me. Pretty terrible experience.”
Cons: “We arrived at Dublin airport two hours before our flight–as instructed–and had to enter an enormous line. Finally, we were instructed to leave the line after almost an hour and a half and were then informed that our tickets had been sold to someone else (we were bumped!). Aer Lingus tried to “normalize” this by explaining that they always “overbook” by 10%. How irresponsible! Instead of arriving in Paris at 4:30 PM (a direct flight) we had to take a flight to London and then to Paris and arrived at 11 PM exhausted (the bus service to Paris had closed down and we had to take a taxi). We will never fly Aer Lingus again. Aer Lingus created the long line to create this very situation!”
Pros: “check in process was easy”
Cons: “Our 2 carry-on bags were moved to checked in just before we got in. We were told that it was because it was a full flight. So what do I see in the overhead bins? 2 carry ons with “crew” tags. What bulls**t. This was a very good airline 20 years ago. Not anymore”
Pros: “Friendliness”
Cons: “Entertainment options VERY limited! Plane was freezing the entire flight.”
Cons: “Inability to choose seats. Flight attendants come around infrequently and so quickly you can’t even ask for a water.”
Cons: “I remember Aer Lingus being a quality airline that treated passengers well. Now charging for tea and water, and exorbitant fees for bags? Felt like Ryanair. If I want to feel like bottom of the barrel I’ll just take them next time!”
Cons: “The flight was cancelled”
Pros: “Crew was friendly”
Cons: “No entertainment and no snack I don’t believe”
Cons: “It would have been great but my TV was not working properly and had intermittent sound. The flight attendants tried to fixit to no avail.”
Cons: “Entertainment system old and slow”
Cons: “There wasn’t any notification prior to booking process, with regards the need to get visa from the airport where I should be transiting for 2 hours only. After I booked and paid for nonrefundable, unchangeable, uncancellable ticket, I got an email asking me to get a visa in order to be able to transit for only two hours in Toronto airport. The visa takes at least 2 weeks, and my travel date was only few days ahead!. The rough lady in air Canada, plus the bad service and advise by the travel agent who advised not to take any action as it is only 2 hrs transiting and I won’t be in trouble, all of that makes me not to recommend anyone to use your weird website. I had to stay 20hrs in the airport to book for another flight.”
Pros: “Both British airline and Aer Lingus service was 5star. and kayak did its job they made reservation super easy.”
We rode in Business class which allowed for priority boarding and comfortable seating. Flying across the Atlantic from Lisbon to San Francisco, I found the configuration and comfort of the seats lacking. The USB and earphone outlets were in a very awkward position, right under your knees and hard to find without a flashlight. Once in the seat, it was awkward to get out. The cabin crew was very pleasant and the food was okay. For the price I thought it was a good deal over all.
The food and the crew is the best. I hope they keep the same way .
The airline has lost my luggage.
Cons: “I paid Xtraeconomy to have some snacks during the fly, and they end up coming with a trolley to pay! Disappointed!”
Pros: “The flat bed”
Cons: “The Captain made loud announcements waking you up”
Pros: “Good movie selection”
Cons: “Multiple delays for my flight. First the departure was delayed which I know can happen. Then we boarded and sat for over an hour before take off. Captain made up a story about the plane needed gas and said we would take off in 15 minutes. An hour and 15 minutes later we finally took off.”
Cons: “Flight to Lisbon late. Missed connection Now have 10 hour delay”
Pros: “The crew was really nice”
Cons: “The food and proving more snacks and drinks”
Pros: “Newer planes, good service”
Cons: “The terminal in Lisbon is poor. Poor food choices. Dirty bathrooms. And keep an eye on the change you get back, 2 out of 2 purchases they tried to shortchange me… one was for over 2 euros.”
Pros: “Flight was on time, crew friendly on airport and flight. Plane was clean and sits were ok.”
Cons: “The food could have been better.”
Pros: “the crew did really made sure we had what we needed.”
Cons: “Should have made an announcement that the 3g cellular coverage was turned on. Went on in the middle of the flight and had no idea. My phone was in the overhead bin and I thought it was off. When I landed I had an outrageous fee. Should be given a choice to use it or not.”
Pros: “The crew was good and went out of their way to help the passengers. The seats were uncomfortable.”
Cons: “The entertainment could definitely be better. Newer screens, and more options.”
Cons: “Good flight, on time. Service ok. Captain did a good job communicating. Nice touch with wine at dinner.”
Pros: “Entertainment was fine”
Cons: “On my ticket I selected the lacto-ovo vegetarian meal and I never received it. I told the flight attendant and he said “we don’t have any more, chicken or fish”. I said “I am a vegetarian” and he gave me a tiny salad, a bread roll, and a chocolate mousse. I was very hungry as I hadn’t eaten in 9 hrs”
Cons: “Checked bag fee was expensive at $120 per bag. For the two of us bags cost $240. The plane boarded late this departed and arrived late. Otherwise a very good flight. Very comfortable, all Amenities worked, the plane was clean and the staff accommodating.”
Cons: “There was an undisclosed $120 baggage fee. The food was horrible and made me sick. We left nearly two hours late.”
Pros: “On this prop plane, the takeoff and landing was exceptionally smooth. Again, the crew gave outstanding service.”
Cons: “All was perfect! Thank you.”
Pros: “Nothing to like. Rude staff.”
Cons: “Everything was good”
Pros: “Everything went according to the timetable, boarding was on-time and we even arrived a bit earlier than scheduled, so I can’t really fault the service of the pilots, the cabin crew or the ground operations team. Food wasn’t exactly stellar, but clearly a lot better than on most European flights operated by larger companies (Lufthansa, KLM, Air France etc.). The aircraft itself was clean and looked fairly new and well maintained”
Cons: “The seating was absolutely HORRENDOUS. Even though I’m nearly 6’3″ (close to 1.90m), I generally never complain about seating space or legroom, even on low cost flights. This particular TAP aircraft, however, despite looking quite new, had some of the most cramped seating ever. Additionally, the trays were minuscule (you could barely place the entire food tray the service during the flight, let alone have another drink at the same time on the tray). Also, on the inbound flight (this was the return one), the seats were fitted with a very simple and clever tablet-holding mechanism, so you could easily watch something on your table while eating your food (from a similarly small tray table). The seat back pockets do not have any material/fabric on the sides, so stored items could easily slip out sideways from the pocket. Shame to have such a good in flight service and to be a punctual airline if you’re going to carry your passengers cramped like cattle in seats ‘rivalling’ the ones on Ryanair flights on 4-hour long journeys.”
Pros: “Food was good, many options with entertainment”
Cons: “The person making announcements mumbled and spoke too softly for someone who’s announcing things on a flight. We couldn’t understand half of everything being said. Also both flights departed late even though TAP reported them as “on time.” We sat at the gate for almost an hour before departing with announcements at that time solely in a Portuguese – on a flight going to New York.”
Cons: “TV didn’t work. A female attendant made me store my hat but didn’t make a male passenger.”
Pros: “The pilot could fly the plane.”
Cons: “The servers were rude.”
Pros: “Friendliness of ground and cabin crew”
Cons: “2 hour delay, but nobody at Manchester Airport Kept us indormend. Food on aircraft was poor (basically a coleslaw sandwich). Long drive from plane to terminal. Bags took forever to come”
Pros: “All except for service to handicapped.”
Cons: “I mad reservation listing that I needed wheel chair assistance due to walking limitations. Upon flight arrival no service was provided not was it provided on my return trip.”
Pros: “I liked the foot rests and leg room. The gluten-free meal was wonderful.”
Cons: “Although I had a delicious gluten-free dinner roll with the main meal, I was served a soggy rice cracker for breakfast. Why not another roll?”
Cons: “everything is ok but food is bad. better give to passenger fruit or bisquit, wafers”
Cons: “The sound for the movies did not work at my seat or my wife’s seat.”
Cons: “Where to start. No soap to wash your hands in the WC. Air conditioning dripping water to a seat next to us. They run out of on food option we wanted. The flight to Lisbon was delayed. The plain was dirty. One of out seats the entertainment system did not work. We alerted the crew, they did not do anything to remediate these problems. Only bad experience of the trip. Portugal deserves a better airline than this one. Last the best of all, $90 dollars per bag we checked in, so we spent $360 dollars just to carry our luggage.”
Pros: “Cabinstaff were friendly and professional”
Pros: “It was a very comfortable flight and I love the dinner they served! Would fly TAP again.”
Pros: “The food and flight attendants were very nice and accommodating.”
Cons: “I had a 17 kg big baggage and a 7 kg hand baggage and was forced by the hungarian check-in attendant to pay the equivalent of 112 usd. I nearly missed my flight as nobody understood why I had to pay extra since my baggage was under – weight. Outrageous! Will not use Tap Portugal again and definetly won’t recommend. Maria Petrita”
Pros: “Friendly and helpful crew. Great food.”
Cons: “Flight was delayed by over 5 hours”
Pros: “Disorganised boarding and staff not efficient Plane was not cleaned until passengers arrived at plane and waited in buses while they finished cleaning, waited standing approximately 30 minutes at plane on bus”
Cons: “They were lying about a supposed compensation for denied boarding which was supposed to be handed out in Lisbon. I didn’t expect this behavior from grown up people, and such a company in Europe. TAP should be excluded from star alliance.”
Cons: “The terminals they use have no express lanes for biz travel. Very stressful particularly if short layover time.”
Pros: “Price”
Cons: “Carrying your luggage downstairs is crazy. And then taking a crammed bus to board the plane — seems very 1960’s”
Cons: “I was so dissatisfied with the customer service and lack of help provided after a FULL and LARGE flight was cancelled to Lisbon (then ultimately to Rome for me). I would like a FULL refund for my flight plus my miles accredited to my account for the full trip to Rome.”
Pros: “Very quick and efficient”
Cons: “Carryin size is so small for the airline”
Pros: “The seats were pretty comfortable and the crew was excellent.”
Cons: “There was no entertainment and the food wasn’t good.”
Pros: “New plane. Great service.”
Cons: “Seats are very small. No entertainment system.”
Pros: “Best flight I have had in years. We were treated like customers, meals were excelent, boarding process was well managed, flight crew was pleasant, curteous, attentive, I could go on & on. Other airlines would do themselves and the rest of us a favor by following their process.”
Cons: “Website was a bit difficult to navigate and online boarding passes didn’t open on my tablet, but I was greeted at the check in keoisk and guide thru the process in a friendly way.”
Pros: “Offered food, left on time, arrived on time. Seat next to me was empty.”
Cons: “Turbulence, only one check in line at the gate.”
Pros: “Incredible experience!!! Best airline ever I have flown on!!”
Cons: “Only complaint was group lines should have been established before boarding began. Everyone was in a large group before they told us where to line up and then it was too late But once we were on the plane it was an amazing flight experience!!! The comfort was unparalleled to other airlines I have flown on. Thank you so much!!!”
Cons: “Sandwich served was a bit bleak but it was served with a glass of wine!”
Pros: “Everything was perfect. More than I expected and would certainly fly with them again.”
