The staff were fantastic and the food was tasty. My check in experience was good too.
The on boarding process at the airport was confusing with no order set in place. So passengers were creating their own lines. Taking the bus to the plane as a bit cumbersome. Once in the plane, the flight attendants were tentative and friendly. Seats were comfortable and food was okay.
Old 777 on this route uncomfortable and in need of updating.
Service was great. Food was perfect. My mom needed a wheelchair and I was worried that I will miss the connecting flight. Emirates ground staff and wheelchair staff ensured we get to our gate on time.
Business boarding is too messy, if can be systematic will be better
Although lauded as a superior carrier, I found nothing out of the ordinary about the flight. Even in the AirBus 380, there wasn't much space in economy - especially when the seat in front was reclined. Admittedly, the toilet was more spacious than I've ever seen on an airplane, but the ill-fitting divider between the cubicles left a visible slit that was quite disconcerting. The crew were ok, but they were clearly "just doing their job." There was little enthusiasm - although given the number of the passengers, I'm not surprised they were jaded. I'd fly Emirates again, but I don't hold them above other carriers.
Frankfurt airport was awful! Brand new airport with modern technology but a process that does not keep up at all. Attitude of staff at the airport also disgraceful but that is normal in Germany. One security gate in the middle of Monday and machine clearly not working well. Immigration has 2 staff with serious attitude.
On time, organized boarding, good food and entertainment-plane was clean, comfortable, well-maintained and updated.
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.
Due to delayed flight we missed our connection flight to Amsterdam. Though Emirates have rebooked in next day's morning flight, to get the hotel voucher etc could have been improved. We have waited for nearly 2 hours to get the hotel arrangements. Even some Emirates officials were asking why hotel voucher was not provided at the embarking point. However the hotel and food was excellent.Due to lot of flight disruptions huge crowds were present in front of Dubai connect as everybody was asked to contact Dubai connect office. Some better arrangments are to be thought of
I was mislead in the booking thinking I was purchasing via kayak however underpricer was the ticket vendor and I did not have access to seat selection, wifi or the lounge at the airport with my business class ticket for this reason. I did know know these issues were going to occur when I bought the ticket, I was very displeased
Over all good experience. Cabin crew should have been more attentive and the food quality should improve.
The first segment from Atlanta to Abu Dhabi was fantastic, but we got downgraded to a different aircraft from Abu Dhabi to Delhi. We were supposed to be on a flatbed business class when we booked it but just about one week before travel, we were changed to A321 Neo, which just has old-fashioned business class seats that recline but don’t go flat. While I fully understand that sometimes these changes have to be made for operational reasons, but I asked for some credit or compensation for that and I did not get any anywhere with that
Luggage jandling sucks. I arrived in BLR india on 15th and luggage was delivered today 19th. I came for a business trip everything got screwed up. Poor communication. APP kept saying mishandles in BLR. It never reached BLR. I had air tag which showed luggage was in Germany. I could not reach anybody other than the airpprt people. They had no clue and asked me to call etihad. In India etihad number wasnt working.i had to call US number and that person was the only person who seemed to help. They kept me in dark. No communication or email till i spoke to the person in US.i have flown many airlines but never had this experience. For me this was first and will be last in etihad. Very bad.
The food was nice and the toilets were kept clean. I find the cabin bag policy to be ludicrous though, there's no way someone can have a small personal item and carry-on cabin bag weighing <7kg if you need to take a laptop with you, meds, and any valuables and items you can't risk to leave in a cargo bag that may get left behind
Crew from ground is great but the aircraft is small and last 3 rows luggage section was occupied by crew so no space for travelers. Food was OK
Awful , hidden charges for the luggage was a very awful thing, very much a scam , booking the flight thinking the luggage was included was definitely a scam , then the girl that was taking my luggage Ayrlease the airport was an absolute awful , telling me if I don’t have money to take my luggage with me I can just throw it away , how professional, NEVER AGAIN .
Connection booked by Etihad was delayed and upon arrival to counter they closed it and denied boarding although there was still 15 minutes to go . Manager Karen was very rude and did not want to listen seems there as overbooking and canceling boarding was the only solution..
The staff was excellent. They checked on my needs at the appropriate amount, letting me sleep when I needed, checking up when I was awake.
Doubled charged me for luggage and lost $520, dug much into my travel budget.
As I mentioned flight from NY to Bangalore was excellent but the return flight from Bahrain to NYC was mediocre, Looks like a old aircraft also not much choice in entertainment.
The flight from NY to Bangalore was very good but the return flight from Bahrain to NY was mediocre
Pretty much what you'd expect for an economy flight. The crew were excellent as usual. The food was ok, but nothing special.
Did not have to leave plane. However found the wait tiring with nearly a full plane boarding at Male and being unable to get out of seat due to cleaners security and a full plane boarding with hand luggage. Staff were excellent despite a long and tiring flight due to stopover.
Food could have been better Entertainment was absent even in Business Class
I like it very much. Gulf Air is always the topper rank of the world. I love it very much.
Gulfair were on top form and everything went as planned
It was a great experience, can’t wait to do it again soon!!
This itineray had to be cancelled as the connection time in Paris was only 55 min which is below the 90 min required by Paris airport. Nether Chat deal/Kayak, nor Gulf air nor American Air picked on that. I called American Air for unrelated question was then told that boarding would be denied due to the short connection time. This should have been an automatic notification from Chat deal/ Kayak or Gulf air and itinery cancelled. What is the point of inconveniencing the passenger?? The return has still not be refunded. Shame on Gulf Air, very poor customer service for an airline that has so good flight crew!
The flight was a transit and I had my boarding pass from the departure. I have talked to the check in person to set me up close to my family seats and ended up with my wife in one seat, 3 years old son in different seat and myself on different seat. very disappointing and overwhelming.
Boarding going from seated area to standing outside and then boarding the stairway seemed unnecessary. Drop the standing outside part.
Very good staff members with sincere passion and responsibility in their job.
Crew attentiveness and service as well as the quality of on board dining could be better. Seats and controls are very dated.
Nice lounge but had a 5 hour layover which is a lot
Cancelled flight, limited information and chaotic rebooking and accommodation provision. Apathetic crew who were more interested in taking about their layover plans than remembering passengers orders and actually bringing them (after 3 reminders). To top it off, priority baggage checked in at The Wing (LHR’s first class checkin) was delivered last to the baggage belt.
The seats on the plane and at Heathrow Airport are so uncomfortable
I had paid for my family to sit together on the plane. When we got to the plane this wasn't the case and we were separated. meanwhile the lady sitting next to me told me how she didn't pay and were all sitting together
The check-in experience was truly awful. Despite checking in online and providing our passport details in advance, we had to wait for over an hour for staff to verify our passport and visa requirements. The time saved by checking in online and having no luggage to check in was completely lost.
There was some delay at Heathrow where a machine needed to "start the engines" wasn't available and they couldn't even find the team tasked to do it. Unacceptable. Caused about an hour delay and seemed unnecessary. Also saw several passengers abusing the overhead luggage situation, having too many large bags and not leaving enough space for others. The crew was good and the refreshments were good in quality and quantity.
we were bumped from our over $350 prepaid seats for the 4th time and without reason or explanation when we spoke to 2 different agents. This was a long flight and got the most uncomfortable seats without the ability to have them changed since this double deck airbus plane was completely full. What's the point in paying and reserving seats months in advance only to be moved and not refunded because the agent didn't have the ability to issue the refund at customer service for British Airways. Will never fly this airline again due to all 4 of our flights having the same issue with losing our seats.
They didnt chack the vise for Vietnam (they chaked but sad its was great and then when web had problem, NO Service they didnt unser my messes
Kayak offered terrible customer service. The 2nd of 3 flights were cancelled and it took me an hour on the phone to try to cancel the other 2. I had to call back later to get someone to assist. I was calling internationally and an already stressful situation was made worse.
Moderate carrier , one of the flight attendant crashed my leg with the food table and never bothered to apologia but give you a lecture about how to sit in your seat.
No TVs are working, in my local busses also not work sometimes. Is the both are same,,
If I have a choice I would not use this airline. They moved by booking to Smart Wings, an airline they code share with. Changing terminals in buses and dealing with some of the staff associated with it is not the best experience. Having stated that I must share that the crew of Smart Wings airlines was polite.
Consider serving food to all passengers regardless of food reservation status during booking.
This was a smartwings operated flight. Flydubai is no longer value for money. Their prices are as high as emirates whereas delays, services and overall quality is as low as any other low cost carrier.
The only highlight on this flight was the taste of the food, which was surprisingly good. Everything else was below average, and the cabin crew service especially stood out for being slow and inattentive. We were surrounded by toddlers/babies and it made our 4 hour flight feel like 10 hours. Granted, that's not the airline's fault, but it added to the overall subpar experience.
Second-row economy doesn't have leg space if you are 6 feet
