For economy, it was very good. Staff was great, they even let some of us change seats for more leg room... Put an empty seat between us which was fantastic for a 12hr flight. Onboard entertainment was excellent, I think over 200 choices of movies/tv/etc The bad was the barely/nonfunctional wifi that cost either $16.99 or 1700 miles (full flight). It was atrocious... Definitely the worst of the last 3 long haul major airlines I was on the last few months.

Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.
Easy to board. Flight was super crowded though so I didn't sleep well on that cross country red-eye flight. The aisles seem ot have gotten narrower and the seat smaller whn luggage and people are getting bigger so it would be AWESOME to have more space and breathing room in general ;)
All male crew was just too woke for me. I felt like a sardine. I will never take a window seat or the rearmost seat again. I booked early and did not pay for seat selection and that was a mistake. The security at IAH was atrocious. I was violated and radiated as I was in a hurry to connect to my other flight. I may have lost items under the seat in front of me that I couldn't see nor bend over to look.
I don’t understand the purpose of the orange “priority” tag on my bag. This tagged, my bag is last or near to the last bag to come down the carousel at IAH.
Asked several times dairy free options and was ignored. Was told chips was the only thing I could have that I should have put it on my profile “which it is”. Very unprofessional. WiFi didn’t work have the flight. Overall a very bad experience.
The plane’s radio wasn’t working. This delayed the plane for an hour and a half. Then we all broaded and taxied down the runway only to get called back because the radio was still not working. Had to get off the plane and then find another plane making the trip 4 hours delayed. Maybe a different plane should have been chosen sooner?!?!?!
The food for long haul was poor compared to Singapore airlines economy. Pasta plain with tomato sauce . Singapore airlines give me Hagen dash small ice cream cup it was great. The choices of dinner course Singapore air also much better The crew mostly friendly. The economy seat are as expected.
ANA was great. United was horrible. They bumped us from economy plus to economy and were supposed to contact us for a refund but no luck. We booked the seats 9 months in advance.
This was a 5 hour flight with no entertainment and with a snack being provided (pretzels and fruit bar), which are both high in carbs and sugar. Nuts would have been a better choice.
No pillow, blanket, or complimentary food provided on 5 hour flight
The flight was direct and affordable The boarding process gave poor directions and disorganized. The seats were narrow and very uncomfortable! The disembarkation was also poor.
Flight was delayed 24 hours, then delayed again first was mechanical and second was weather.
Had to wait to clean snow at end of ramp.
My wife was in a wheelchair. Most accommodating and kind staff!
Boarding a disaster. People need to be told not to line up before area called. Crew had not even boarded and walkways were jammed
I liked the plane, a Boeing 787. Having to buy food on a domestic flight (although now common on other airlines too) is an irritant.
No complaints l will always do Air Canada once they are flying where I want to go
Entertainment wasn’t working on the flight so no movies or wifi. I was at the lavatories and the crew were chatting at the back. I asked them for a glass of wine and they told me to go back to my seat and get my credit card and bring it back to them. I thought it would have been nicer for them to come to me but they didn’t want to get up from chatting with colleagues. Not great customer service.
It was quite disappointing as ground crew at gate check in are not communicating with in flight crew and did not allow quite a few passengers boarding last -according to zones - to take their cabin bags citing storage compartments were full! No choice & not negotiable but it was NOT true as all the overhead storage compartments by the seating were in fact empty!!! A simple communication between the AC staff would have easily avoided unnecessary inconveniences to the passengers.
