We arrived early and finally made it to our gate almost an hour after.

Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed

Plane was was better than th YVR to ORD flight but was a fraction of the distance. Fly your better planes on longer distance flights.

After checking in online i called United to make sure I have special food ordered ( kosher option). Representative I spoke with on the phone with assured me that special meal was ordered. On the plane, during meal service I was informed that there is no note about it and no kosher meal was ordered for me. Flight attendant said she will check if maybe was a mix up and meal is somewhere. But never came back with any update. So entire flight with no food...

Nothing wrong with the flight itself. But due to 2+ hrs waiting in immigration and the additional security checkup in O’hare, I nearly missed the flight.

Ground staff were excellent They helped to re book when our flight was canceled

They need to improve their boarding process. Group 1 and/or paying first class passengers shouldn't be in the middle of boarding process

late departure due to some unspecified issue with ventilating the cabin. They got it running but it was FREEZING for the whole flight. I asked for a blanket but they didn't provide one. They could not turn up the heat. it was quite miserable.

We were delayed because of ground crew, not because the plane wasn’t ready to go. The food was better than usual!

Some of the issues with my UA flight to a connecting flight: United said the SF to Frankfurt flight was getting late making us miss 10:50 flight and could only put us on a flight that left at 4:15 PM from biz to coach. then they canceled the ticket on the connecting flight. I didn’t have a seat, etc., etc., and over an hour dealing with UNITED blaming Lufthansa and Lufthansa pointing to UNITED. The flight itself was fine (food sucked) and we landed in time that I could’ve made the 1050 flight. but the LH gate agent said I couldn’t get on because United issued the ticket and only they could change tix back. Gave up and wasted the next five hours plus of our vacation and ended up being totally wiped out by the time we reached the hotel.

The food service was absolutely rubbish. Very arrogant crew. Does Scandinavian airlines think everyone eats meat??? I paid for my flight but could not eat anything because I am vegetarian!!! I was hungry for 7 hours . I demand for refund! This is absolutely unacceptable!!!! If you want more customers keep an open mind!!! Cater to all meal needs. I have flown many airlines and I never make a special request online never! They always have vegetarian options. SAS has no idea of customer service. Shitty service

LAX to Copenhagen was very nice…business class…great service and comfortable seats…great value…Copehagen to Barcelona…business class was normal coach seating…a little cramped…box meal….good service

Had recurring problems with the touch-screen entertainment system repeatedly making up inputs, resulting in the movies randomly jumping forward and backward. With the lack of proper controls, it was also difficult to get back to where the movie was up to. These phantom inputs were so comprehensive that the system even changed the language setting. Despite a schedule 6.25pm boarding time, it was announced in the Delta lounge at 6.15pm that boarding for the flight had started, so of course everything started to head down. While the gate continued to show a scheduled boarding of 6.25pm, it was 6.32pm before boarding actually started. No, not significantly different, and we ultimately ended up landing well before time (and landing time is arguably more important than exactly when boarding starts). Seat comfort was fine, although only a small nook for personal items, food was satisfying for me, and crew was pleasant.

Entertainment system caused delay. But order was restored within one-hour into the flight. Service was good.

I did not go. I rebooked my ticket. Despite that you keep sending me emails and now this survey about a trip that you should know by now did not happen. Very bad, impersonal customer service. Shows you have no idea what's going on with your customers and that you're just spamming with automated, careless communications

It was my wife and me traveling together. We purchased more expensive Economy Plus tickets, but the seat selection was not available, although this was the main reason for buying the more expensive tickets. When I called SAS, I was told that the seats could be selected once check-in is open, i.e., 30 hrs. before departure. On the inbound flight, I could check in only the first leg (Boston-Copenhagen) but the system would not allow me to check in for the connecting Copenhagen-Split flight. On the return flight, I was not able to check in and, therefore, select two seats together at all. I even received an email from the SAS stating that the check-in was open but when I attempted to do it, the system would not allow it. Trying to get help by calling SAS customer service was no help at all. Although there are signs at Boston Logan Airport implying that there is a Scandinavian Airlines lounge, there is not one. We were sent to Delta Priority Lounge where we were told that it is for business class passengers only, although the terms of Economy Plus state that the fare includes access to a lounge. The seats and the legroom were no different than standard economy cabin seats. On the flight to Copenhagen, my table was broken (not unfolding completely), so I had to hold the food tray with all the food in one hand while trying to eat with another. Overall, it was definitely not worth it paying for the Economy Plus tickets. Based on my overall experience, it is very unlikely that I will consider flying SAS in the future.

Flight delayed 3 hours 45 minutes. Connecting flight changed. Would have missed cruise ship. Had to cancel return flight, because we couldn't just cancel flight to Nice.

Pilot made us late 45 minutes with no explanation, missed our connection, they didn’t care

First off, numerous things were misrepresented. When we purchased the Economy Plus tickets the fare allegedly includes access to lounge. At Logan Airport where the signs points to, there is no longer SAS lounge. We were directed to Delta lounge, which is located at the other end of the terminal. When we got there, Delta reps told us that it is for SAS business class passengers only. The advertised seat selection 30 hrs prior to departure did not work online. When I called SAS, they told me that it was more than 30 hrs before our connecting flight in Copenhagen, although it was less than 30 hrs before the departure for Copenhagen. Customer service representatives would not provide any assistance. The tray table in my seat was not fully unfolding to be able to place the food tray on it. Therefore, I had to keep it on my laps.

It was a rather short flight. The meal given was a sandwich which did not look appealing at all. Unlike other European airlines, SAS did not leave the middle seat empty for the higher fare paying customers. Luckily since the flight was light, I could move to another row with no other passenger.

Again, lines for boarding are a problem in iceland. The flight itself was fine and very smooth. No complaints. We would definitely fly icelandair again.

take snacks and food. purchase options in flight are not great

Had a screaming child next to us. Not the airline’s fault but still annoying.

Highly disorganized company, poor customer service. Packed seats on a 737 for a trans-atlantic 9 hour flight. Greedy company policies, no meal or snack provided for 9 hour flight.

Icelandair flight was excellent. The checkin and security arrangements for Saga Premium passengers at Newark was very poor - our checkin opened much later than the normal and our security queue simply led us to the back of the normal queue. Someone was having a laugh surely!

Never took flight. See previous comment on trip from Boston to Reykjavik. Used a different airline that i had to find and book.

The flight was on time and the crew was nice. I did not like the fact that my husband and I were seated in different rows. I feel pressured by airlines to pay more to choose our seats. We will sit anywhere, but we shouldn't have to pay to sit together. I also think they should serve at least a snack that's free.

One of the worst airlines I ever flew. Boarding is a disaster, they are always late, the planes are overly crowded. Everyone on my flight lost their connection because they were 2h late. Reykjavik is also not the best airport out there.

My only area of issue was the flight was rather warm and the knobs for cool air didn't allow much cool air to come through. Everything else was great.

Everything was great! My only critique is 25 euro for wifi is wild, but I get it

There was a very drunk and disruptive passenger who was on the plane, right behind me. He was already drunk before boarding but was still let on the plane. He kept kicking and hitting the back of my chair the entire flight. It was an early morning flight and had zero rest on that leg

Very sad, couldn't stop crying. Was an hour delay in Ireland and when we got to Canada the flight was boarded and couldn't get on. Was the last flight of the day. Now in a hotel waiting on a stand by.I have to got o work, so I'll go first available while my son stays in the hotel til one's available

Was not aware that Aer Lingus was like the cut-rate services in the states, with no food or beverage (other then 3.50 Euro coffee) and no screens for entertainment. Was a great flight, but not much in the way of services.

I didn’t realize Aer Lingus was a “nickel and dime” kind of airline where you had to separately buy all the amenities you wanted. The push to purchase duty-free beauty products was off-putting. And our row had the least amount of leg room I’ve ever dealt with on a flight.

Flight was great. Had to wait almost 100 minutes for luggage (some problem in the delivery). This may not be an Aer Lingus problem, but an SFO problem.

Amenity kits were never handed out. There was zero friendliness and assistance by crew. Food was uneatable. One drink was offered and no wine, with dinner or before or after. Cocktails and beverages were not encouraged and when I asked for water, none was given. Poorest, most cramped business class flight I’ve ever been on.

Probably my favorite airline and way to go to Europe. Everything went smoothly! Food was tasty, crew was pleasant. Really cannot complain!

Golf Bags never made it on the flight. Very expensive golf bag and. Clubs,shoes, clothing. Will file a claim against Aer Lingus

Horrible. Garbage airline. Due to the strike we got a replacement plane/crew. I didn't get my exit row seat I paid for. Food was horrible. Plane was hot and didn't have AC vents.

The first leg of my 2 flights were delayed, causing me to miss my second flight and have to stay the whole night in Dublin. Super upset with this experience, and I still need to figure out how to get compensated for this.

I have flown with many airlines. My first time was several years ago. Now I remember why I avoided them for so long. Lufthanza is the only airline who has ever raised a size/weight issue with my modest standard size carry on. I had to repack three times to meet their carry-on weight criteria. (Apparently the rules of physics apply differently on Lufthansa flight than on other airlines.) In the meantime their staff was quite rude, repeating meaningless phrases like "Rules are Rules." And ignoring the additional fact that weight is also weight, whether it is in found in your carry on or in your suitcase. They eventually acknowledged that customer service and satisfaction is, for them, a low priority. Never choosing Lufthansa again.

The flight was so FULL That I had to keep BOTH my carry on AND my personal items ON my lap while I was sitting there for 10 hours Because the airline put ALL the other stuff into MY overhead cabin Most uncomfortable 10 hours of any flight I

They are professional. Nice crew. Still flying Boeing 747. Thank you for that. I love this airplane. Traditional.

I have ordered Hindu or Indian vegetarian food, to my surprise they did not find any such request. All I ate during the flight was 2 pieces of bread. The airline hostess was completely rude and racist. She promised one apple and I asked he four hours of promise and she denied saying am not nice to her. Europeans seems to be having racism issues with Indians. I will officially launch complaint with Indian and USA governments They made to starve, I recently got open heart surgery and I am diabetic patient

Service was okay. Food was okay. I selected a window seat in the 36th row and someone took it upon themself to change it to an aisle seat in the very last row!!!

I am not sure I like the new Discover line of Lufthansa. I have been flying from us to Italy for the past 30 years and always favored Lufthansa ove other Companies because of cleanliness, service, food, beverage. When compared white other airlines Lufthansa was always considered one of the best. I can't say that anymore. I fly Lufthansa only because I consider the line MCO to FRA timely convenient for my schedule but always look for alternatives when before I was considering other routes only if the price was in question.

Crew and service was excellent. My seat was super small and cramped! No leg room

Good but entertainment system was not easy and very buggy

Flight was cancelled and I got rebooked with anther airline. Also had booked a direct flight and got a layover.

Very nice. Crew was excellent and our seats had great legroom which we paid extra for so I highly recommend this option when flying internationally.
