1 hour delay meant missed my connecting flight and 1st day of holiday

Flight got canceled due to Middle East conflict. Just fly hasn’t refunded me the money

Unfortunately the flight was cancelled so I never got to go

Business class ticket should include lounge access and seat selection. The food quality and varieties should be more. It was surpirise that no dessert was offered.

Dear Team, I purchased a full travel package that included 2 checked bags through you and JustFly. However, when I arrived at the airport, my ticket showed 0 checked bags. Since I was traveling internationally to India with 2 bags, It was a $200 per bag at the counter, which was extremely disappointing. For an international trip, why would I ever choose a no‑bag option for only $20–$30 less? This seems like an error in the booking process, and I am requesting clarification and a resolution. I have called JustFly and on phone for 1 hr :53 min and they couldn't help till I show some kind of proof etc which isn't possible but besides that love your service and using it for years !

I liked the crew, the food and the foot space. I did not like the comfort of the seats.

Good one but just notice that you have to ask several time to get water or coffee .

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

No entertainment except on app. No outlets working to charge. Good service

It was great! Kept the time. Provided what was promised
