The setting configuration of the aircraft stinks. Nobody should pay business class fares and be so uncomfortable. The design of facing fellow passengers is a brilliant nincompoop.
Entertainment is limited with a relatively old catalogue. Wi-Fi never works and the cabin and lavatory had evidence of a lot of scuff marks and temporary repairs. Nothing unsafe, but a bit tatty in places.
Delayed flight in Singapore caused the transfer at Bangkok to be very stressful. Fortunately, no elderly were in this trip, else it will not be possible to catch the connecting flight. There were also several occasions throughout the flight journey where some of the passengers were not wearing their seat belts despite several remainders from the stewardess.
USB charging port was not working at my seat 48K.
I enjoy flying with Thai Airways, however their B788 business class configuration is quite dated. Additionally , while the service is always friendly and efficient, I’m getting tired of the same “usual suspects” when it comes to food choices. Since it was a lunchtime flight, what about some gourmet sandwiches or some type of salad dish for the main course? The entertainment options are also quite limited and this is not unique to TG, so much so that given the short duration of the flight I ended up not bothering with any entertainment. Finally, despite signs around the cabin advising wifi available, I was unable to con-net and in fact I’ve never been able to connect on any TG flight over the last year or so - what’s the go here??
Always liked Thai Airways but in the past they have been very expensive, not being a millionaire just yet, I will use cheaper airlines. Bangkok to London £370 11 hours 45 mins. Old plane but ok. Lovely ladies on board, very polite. Food was ok. Will always use them if the price is right.
Could have been better. I prefer Thai airlines only but it hasnt been reliable.
Service on board was excellent. Flight attendant was very helpful. I wish the website is more functional. I can't even choose seats online and had to call the customer service. During check-in at the counter in CGK, I saw a printed page about paying for the bulkhead and exit row seats, so I asked the staff at the check-in counter. I was told that the flight is full and there isn't any seats available for paid upgrade. When I boarded the plane, I saw so many bulkhead and exit row seats empty and asked the flight attendant. He allowed me to purchase the upgrades on board. It would have been nice if I could purchase the upgrades ahead of time, eg. During online check-in or bag drop at the airport. The economy seats in the A350-900 are arranged in 3-3-3 configuration. Seat width is a bit tight for me.
Overall things were very good and orderly. The food was very good but I want able to get a second drink very easily, so that could have been better for services. The seats seemed to be lacking legroom but I'm also 6'1" so I'm used to wanting more legroom but the plane seemed smaller then others when it came to legroom. My kids all enjoyed the entertainment as did I so that was perfect!
The flight attendants ignored us several times which was annoying. The sandwich thing wasn't very good but it's only an hour flight, it would have been better to have entertainment over bad food.
The flight gate was changed and all the pessengers were waiting at the gate #2 for boarding, There were 4 (four) employees standing at the boarding desk and no one ever said anything about the gate changed. Finaly when I noticed an employee was removing the boarding zone signs, it surprised me something is not right, so I went and ask that employee what happned - she said the gate has been changed. So, i questioned again which gate it would be, she told me gate #5. I look for Gate 5 - which was down stairs. When I went to gate 5 - no body was at that gate which depress me a lot because it was already a bording time pass. Later I checked on the departure screen for my flight - it was gate #1, so I had to go back again upstairs in hurry as the boarding time already pass. They never anounced or telling customer anything at the original boarding gate - WHICH WAS TOTALY STUPID. I am 77 yrs old and what they the employees and the managers care about) care about how I can handle all this going back and forth. Air India is just advertising they are getting bigger but their services are just BOGUS and I don't expect it would be any better. They are getting worst and worst than they use to be.
It was just like any other budget airline in India—nothing extraordinary. The check-in at CCU was surprisingly smooth and effortless, as expected after online check-in. But BOM? They had me join the regular check-in queue, while six Bag-Drop counters were busy doing the same thing. Makes you wonder how Vistara plans to promote web check-in if passengers end up in line anyway.
Flight was delayed more than 18 hours, checked in bag damaged, no accountability from vistara ground staff. Worst experience. Shall compensate all the charges with double Ticket refund
The flight was an hour late. There were no gate announcements or displays. After getting on the plane, there was a further delay without any explanation.
The flight was on time. I upgraded to Premium Economy and it was comfortable. The food was very good. Staff were courteous.
Flight was delayed but no announcements were made. Till the boarding it was still showing original schedule time at the monitor and also on your mobile app. It left the gate half hour later than scheduled.
It’s really very nice experience with very nice behaviour respected crews n all Vistara members thankyou so much Vistara to give us humble hospitality
My wife with 5 month son were traveling. No proper support was provided for luggage handling. Although it was requested in prior. My wife sole manage everything and was not as expected.
This was an old 320 without a screen or USB charging port even in the business class. The food could have been better.
a real good flying experince. Everything was excellent right from check-in to baggage collection at destination.
I specifically searched for flight with checkin bags. Airfare assist website still sold tickets without check in bags and I had to pay 3 times more for my bad. Worst experience ever with untrained staff and haphazard boarding
As a frequent flyer, I was impressed with the smooth take off.
No frills means no frills... I just got on the plane and flew. That's all. Nothing more and nothing less. Or I did buy some water, they took cash only! LOL
First the flight delayed 1 hour ND then when we suppose to landing the pilot decided not to land at the chiang Mai Airport but the chiang rai airport
Pros: "This is a budget airline and they get you to where you going at good price"
Cons: "They pack you in all together even though there are open seats available and leave you there as if you've done something wrong"
Cons: "fraud on the baggge fee. Had already tried to pay on web sire, but tmdid not work. Then they charge more than twice the price at airport."
Pros: "I am grateful for small mercies. ... it was on time!"
Cons: "Not being fleeced / ripped off cheated out of money as I check in. The website purposely does not allow payment of bags just so they can get more at airport. ... Staff admitted it was regular complaints and they did not care... Not my sort of pleasurable flight.."
Pros: "The ground staff service was really poor, the air-cond on-board was warm instead of cold, when arrived Singapore, the body sweaty."
Cons: "The pre-book luggage service and check-in ground staff service in Bangkok airport. It's really disappointed."
Cons: "They had mosquitos entire flight, they could have sprayed bug spray or do something about it"
Great from start to finish. Staff very friendly. Flight smooth and comfortable.
Delay of 3 hrs and they offered only Macdonalds pineapple pays. Not any good
The return flight was delayed for more than 4 hours. Luckily we were in the airport way in advance and managed to reach out to the Nok Air sales office to squeeze us into the earlier flight.
Lead flight attendant was rude and not helpful. Very unprofessional.
Purchased additional baggage and the flight was canceled due to covid. When they rebooked us they didn’t carry over the extra baggage. They wanted to charge 3x the original ticket price for “added” weight… 6000 bhat for an additional 15kilo (which would of been easily covered by what we originally booked) took nearly 2 hours to work out and they only let us check in minutes before our flight boarded. Very unhappy.
Cons: "I wasn't able to go on this flight, or on the trip at all due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the airline has not responded to my request for a refund or credit yet."
Cons: "The charge for extra baggage was three times the cost of my ticket. Outrageous!"
Extremely bad experience compared to Vistara. No priority in check in, no priority for boarding. No upgrade. Seat selection is paid. Curtains were dirty. Demo bag was dirty. Warmth of the crew was missing.
Inflight Services are poor compared to other airlines. They do not offer even water during 15 hr flight. Food is little in portion and I had food poisoning after last meal ( rajma chawal)
Boarding at Mumbai airport was terrible, the staff had no idea how to handle it. It was chaos - and led to a delay
Too many changes in departure time (4-5 times before the actual departure time was determined) with no reasons provided.
My seats that I paid for were changed last minute and I had to sit in uncomfortable chairs
Mumbai to New York was not comfortable as I was given different sits in hat what I paid for
It was far better than what others had led me to expect. I would fly with them again. Don't expect all features of the entertainment system to work.
This was a bery good experience as it was a newer plane . AI older plane bussiness class is bad .
The trip with Air India was better than expected starting with the check-in and the Lounge. The flight was comfortable for a 1 hour flight.
The flight got delayed and was not updated in time.
