- review: {"Review":{"Score":["3.61"],"source":"http://www.productreview.com.au/p/cathay-pacific-airways.html","Users Review":["I was extremely disappointed in the Premium Economy service I received on Cathay Pacfic. At a price tag almost three times that of Economy I expected something a bit special but it certainly isn t what I got. Apart from the slightly wider seats (which were actually rather uncomfortable anyway), the priority check-in and the quieter cabin, I really couldn t see much difference between Premium and ordinary Economy class. There was no special attention shown to passengers or any service over...\n Read more"]}}

Unfortunately, I had to get back to Ankara, Turkey as quickly as possible, so I chose the United Flight. What a FREAKING MISTAKE that was! They caused me so many problems at ORD that they made me miss my flight altogether!\n\nLet me just say that I have never willingly boarded another United flight ever again after that! Lufthansa not only took care of me with extreme helpfulness, but they also re-booked me on...\n (read more)"]}}

Jakarta airport uses color tag coding to control boarding priority. Blue for 1st, biz, PPS and Star Gold passengers. Next was those with Red tag which I was holding. That means I belong to the early group to board the economy sector. Happily I was looking forward to pick up the day's Straits Times (S$0.90 ea)but to my dismay the tray was left only with \"My Paper\" (given free on the streets). As a Singaporean I'm addicted to reading the...\n (read more)"]}}

- review: {"Review":{"source":"http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews78396.html","Users Review":["Last flying Thai Airways in 2007, I was reluctant to ever use them again because of their inferior economy class product. A clapped out Boeing 747 with well used seats and only projector screens at the front of each cabin section made the 11-12 hour flights drag on for a lifetime!\n\nOnly a week before my most recent flight with the airline (05/04/13), Thai Airways reintroduced their newly retrofitted 747s to the London route, and with fares 200.00 cheaper than the likes of British Airways,...\n (read more)"]}}

Arriving in Pau my suit case was not on the plane.

I had entered my Cathay Pacific frequent flyer number during reservation as well as presented my card at check-in counters. My membership number was clearly printed on each boarding pass. Unfortunately my mileage was never been credited under my Cathay Pacific account so I lodged a missing mileage claim through Cathay Pacific. However, to my surprise my claim was rejected based on the reason I have already claimed my mileage...\n (read more)"]}}

- review: {"Review":{"source":"http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews10256.html","Users Review":["I fly AC every week for business. I also fly other US and CAD airlines several times per year. By FAR Air Canada is the worst of the bunch and here's why:\n\n1. No on time departure: I would say at least 90% of the time the plane departs late and can't make up time in the air. On average we depart between 30min to 1h late each time.\n\n2. Horrific customer service: I have 2 friends that are senior flight attendant and we discussed this in length. In a nutshell, Air Canada employees that...\n (read more)"]}}
