I booked with a traveling agency 1 year in advance. The company then changed our flights trying to shorten our stay months out from our departure that would cause us to significantly change our itinerary especially as a part of a larger group who had already purchased events for the trip. Not only will I never use KAYAK or ARANGANT again, I will never fly with American Airlines again. They did their utmost to ruin our first flight to Japan by turning every flight into an arduous ordeal. The flight home took 48 hours riddled with extended delays and multiple layovers. If you want to to ruin your trip use these companies that take your money and then choose the most inconvenient flights so that they can keep the profits for themselves. Worst experience is ever. Just book the flights yourself. The “savings” are not worth the headaches. Just delete the app altogether.
It was smooth and quiet both ways. Staff was attentive and very friendly.
Horrible and the food was disgusting as well as the delays for the flights and luggage
I have been flying with JAL a few times, crews service, food, overall comfort even with economy, I would rate it the top three airlines. None of any American carriers can provide such excellent service.
First time flying. Very comfortable, plenty of leg room in economy. The food was good, as well as the snacks. Quick flight back from Kansai to HNL.
I thought this was a JAL flight but landed up being a code sharing one with Hawaiian Air. Got upgraded by check in staff and they confirmed my bag coming from Bangkok which was great. Cabin crew was solid, not especially friendly, just super efficient and wanting to get the job done which they did. Very fast and agenda oriented. Worst part is my economy plus seat was no better than my economy seat on JAL. Plus JAL has way better food, cleaner plane, and better crew. Worst part is when I landed, was never told where to grab bags. I had correct flight name and number for JAL but there was a Hawaiian flight number in another baggage terminal. I wasted over an hour with no help from ground staff for my bag. Hawaiian and Alaska airlines merger can’t happen fast enough as Hawaiian airlines is a dinosaur. Bad experience again and I’m not surprised. JAL rocks!
The entree wasn’t very good. The rice was soggy. The side dishes were all good though. The breakfast was also good. The crew were excellent, as usual.
The flight attendants were excellent as usual however the meal wasn’t the usual good quality. There is cooked rice was mushy.
The seats are significantly more comfortable than US airlines and the staff are much friendlier. The food is also much better, as they are particularly accommodating to any dietary restrictions.
Service is excellent - crew all so respectful and friendly. Airline comfortable - lots of legroom even in economy. Food was great even came with ice cream!
Crew were decent. For 14+ hour flight, the leg room was cramping, the food is terrible, no flavor, no taste. I wouldn't fly this airline again just dreading about their bland, flavorless food offerings. It was cheap flight, arrived early in jfk but waited > hour to get to the gate. Not sure if that was flight crew's fault or airport fault. But it made me not to fly this airline again
Flight stewards were sometimes short when passengers made requests at the same time. The requests were simple but a smile & a remark of "I'll get to you soon" instead of a curt & passing "Wait a minute." Flying is not cheap & good manners should be a given when taking care of people cramped in seats for longer than ten hours. The food tasted great but doesn't look appetizing. The mid-meal break food or merienda were great in the last two flights I was on.
It was amazing with great service. But the seating could have been better if there was ample arm rest areas
Flight attendants did very well, they were all friendly and very helpful .
Absolutely terrible. I will never fly that airline again. The problem was with the constant emails changing my seats, arrival/ departure times and the aircraft. The staff at the airports and onboard were great. Between making the appointment in May 2025 and my actual trip I had over 50 emails announcing changes. I was traveling with 3 other couples and they experienced the same thing.
Excellent! All flight related was memorable ! My first experience with Mabuhay Lounge,,, not so good
Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.
Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow
My biggest concern was with all the schedule changes. Both inbound and outbound flights times were changed, including a time change less than two days before the scheduled departure.
The check in crew is rude. They are strict in luggage. How about you buy something in duty free and then they tell you to remove some of your stuff you’re ending up throwing everything. The crew are nice. But the seat is really hard it’s not comfortable in long flight. I’m not planning again to book a flight in Philippines airlines it could been better if you trained your check in crew to be compassionate and nice. I travel a lot in emirates qatar but never experienced anything like that.
