Pros: "Flight was punctual. While the crew did their job, they didn't seem as friendly as usual with Air Astana."
Cons: "The Boeing 757 is a narrow cramped aircraft for such along flight. It would be good to have an aircraft with not so narrow seats, such as the A320 or A321 or B767 on longer routes. No boarding announcement at Almaty - they just opened the door and you had to "know" that it was time to board."

Yeah yesI have n yeah traveled on this flight yaa this flight yeahfrequently yeahrescheduled yeahor canceled this was very bad experience I yeah will never forget this Airlines have h yeahave not to do so

I was unable to check in online. It said PRN is not correct few times in spite of it being correct. I could not book my seat. I travelled from Mumbai to Chennai & Chennai to tiruchi. I raised my problem to staff in Mumbai and they were not helpful. They kept saying I needed to do it in Chennai. They said they can’t print my boarding pass since it started from Chennai. They could have helped me with online checking. Customer service is very poor and not helpful. They could have done a better job.

Already mentioned the didorerly check in process. The crew were not aware that I pre-booked for snacks and paid for. They said I have to pay for snacks and drinks, when I showed the crew my boarding pass they said that the system was not updated with this information. Very strange excuse..

Cleanliness os Seats and surrounding areas. On time Departure and Arrival. No1 Budget Airline in India

Pros: "Not much."
Cons: "We flew to India and back from Turkey. Both flights had 2 stops and both times Indigo said we didn’t have a second flight and wouldn’t give us a second boarding pass meaning we had to go out to the check in both times to get our second boarding pass and both times were very problematic. Also we have a 7+ hour international flight on a very small plane with no free food or drinks. Just not a very good flight experience overall."
Pros: "Basically nothing"
Cons: "They should do announcements properly, and the crew attitude is awful."
Pros: "Did not take the flight as fell sick. Tried working with vayama and Turkish airlines to reschedule this return flight but quoted cost was higher than original price."
Cons: "An understanding and accommodation based on medical reasoning."
Pros: "Budget Indian airline so was good. Good crew .Bus on and off tarmac , Basic food and paid for but fine. Good legroom in XL seats and std seemed ok too compared to some Australian airlines .Was on time so thats all that really mattered"
Pros: "Crew was great. Back holder of Seats were loose / broken."
Cons: "Connecting Indigo flight was poor as no supply of liquor n beverages. No proper n sufficient food. One cold sandwich was given"
Pros: "nothing, they did provide us with refreshments for flight delay."
Cons: "everything has to be improved"

My baggage was not with the same flight I travelled

Pros: "B787 still like new and well maintained."
Cons: "This is a long flight I take often one Saudia. The seats still suck!"
Pros: "Entire flight was excellent crew very helpful. We had great experience definitely will recommend"
Pros: "Coffee was excellent."
Cons: "My luggage could have been on my same flight. There were 3 notifications about the flight being delayed for no reason. A computer glitch delayed the flight from departing as the crew had to manually check the passenger manifest. We arrived late into Jeddah and almost missed our connecting flight."
Pros: "Crew is very good but seat is not good.as alfursan Member ineed asil seat"
Cons: "Check in staff are very slowly"
Pros: "Only good food"
Cons: "The seats were not good And the screen was not working all the flight to istabul on my wife’s seat (no entertainment)"
Pros: "Decent food, plane left and arrived on time, friendly staff"
Cons: "Nothing - all was as expected. Never flown Saudi before but was a good experience"
Pros: "I liked that there was an area for praying on flight. Also, I liked the food."
Cons: "My trip had two flights. The first one, from IAD to JED was the problematic one for me. I purchased the highest Internet package to finish some work on the flight. The service was terrible. I purchased 300MB for $25. I barely used less than 60MB in several hours of work because of terrible connection. Yet, when I complained to Saudia customer service, they insisted that there was no technical issue, refused to give me a refund, and did not even apologize. The transit in Jeddah's airport was terrible. The bathrooms are very dirty and smelly. In the return flight, we had an overnight stay in the airport. People typically need to sleep at this time. However, the airport was very crowded and, for so many people, there was not even enough seats to sit down."
Pros: "The cabin Crew was awesome!"
Cons: "“My dislikes” started when I arrived Kl international Airport when I wanted to board the lady on the boarding area didn’t allow me because i was wearing shorts she made me to go and buy and pants so i can board!! However, after i flow to Jedah i had a lay over 4:30 Hours at jedah airport which was completely a disaster I cannot even imagine it.i will never fly with Saudi Airlines even for 1 Dollar"
Pros: "The crew dosnt know how to deal with passengers Need more trining"

Nothing The flight delayed for more than 3 hours as usual

In the future, it is preferable to provide free snacks

Very poor Customer service…the girl at the check in desk was horrible. her service was not even close to world standard but I think Flynass can improve and learn to treat their customers better

The flight delayed. No screen, no charge for mobile devices. The portion of food is very small. The food is not delicious and no sweet just 3 pieces of fruit mostly apple. If you want coffee or tea you have to buy even you buy ticket at higher price than airlines that offer drinks, snacks and meals for free.

Pros: "i need to change the date but cannot find anyone help, including either call center or flynas staff in airport"
Cons: "just give me a simple way to change my flight"
Cons: "People are sitting in our seats!!! This issue is on every single flight I have with FlyNas"
Cons: "Always late, an they blame it on the previous flight, as if it is operated by different company"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Being on time. Always their standard excuse to be late is due to delay from previous flight; as if each flight run by different company."
Pros: "Bad experience with flynas"
Cons: "Saudia airplanes much better. This is the last time with flynas."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight again delayed , over 2 hours Complete lack of communication from the crew Once landed waited ages for the buses, once in the buses also waited ages on the Tarmack A complete disaster from start to finish And again no one to talk to no compensation Will not use these! airline ever again !"
