I took the sgp-Doha-CDG, Madrid-Doha-sgp.\n4 weeks prior to my flight, I was informed that my flight at 9-ish pm was canceled. I was arranged to fly at 230am instead and arrive in Paris in the afternoon. Calling the Qatar hotline was an impossible task. I dropped Qatar a few emails and good thing is that the customer service did call. She helped me to arrange to fly Malaysian airlines to KL at 6pm and then to...\n (read more)"]}}

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"]}}

- review: {"Review":{"source":"http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews7452.html","Users Review":["Was on SQ959 on 25 Apr from Jakarta to Singapore. 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)"]}}

Seat was similar to Thai and Lufthansa's A340-600\r\nfirst class seat. This 340-600 is worn. Video was broken at my seat outbound. All AV is old and antiquated. Crew\r\ntry to be very helpful. Food was delicious. Especially Chinese offering on return flight from Beijing. Beautifully\r\npresented. Helpful check-in at Beijing. If you book their free limo they meet you at curb side and escort you as\r\nfar as immigration. Lounge at Beijing was good. Only person in the first class lounge. Overall good value for the\r\nmoney. Only $1400.00 more than business return. Well worth it for the extra space."]}}

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)"]}}

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)"]}}
