"service was excellent"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Chengdu to Los Angeles. We really enjoyed this flight. The cabin was clean, service was excellent. The food and entertainment were met my expectation. When they handed me a new pajama for sleeping comfort, I was very surprised. I highly recommend this flight and I won't go to Chengdu any other way.

"sacrificed their rest time"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Chengdu to New York on Aug 4th, and many functions did not work in the cabin after boarding, such as inflight entertainment system, USB port, call bell and even reading light. However, I was moved by crew service during the trip. The Cabin Manager and her crew members tried their best to overcome such difficulties and make sure every passenger was satisfied during the flight. Since inflight entertainment system did not work for this more than 14-hour flight, her team coordinated seats to make sure as many as passengers could lay down and have more space for comfortable sleep. Since service call bell did not work, in order to find out any passenger may need help in time cabin staff walked through cabin back and forth all the time, it is a very hard work for a long-distance flight. Initially many passengers complained about aforementioned issues in flight, but staff were very patient and explained again and again to such passengers until they were satisfied. Gradually, passengers were moved and affected by crew members efforts and became very cooperative. The cabin staff sacrificed their own rest time, and had been working almost all the time for this 14-hour flight. Really appreciated. Overall, I really appreciate hard work during the whole flight. Lastly, Hainan airlines provided compensation to every passenger in the flight.

"efficient ground staff"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Brussels to Chengdu via Beijing. I was surprised by not only the aircraft hardware, but more importantly, the service provided along the journey. My friends and I had to catch a connecting flight with only 2 hours at PEK airport, and with the help of efficient ground staff, we were able to not delay our trip even when the first flight was 45 minutes late upon arrival.

"bright smile and expression"

(China)

Trip Verified | Bejing to Las Vegas. I was really moved by the crew who provided warm service. The crew's bright smile and expression can not be forgotten. Especially, I would like to thank all the crew members who boarded the HU7969 on July 29, 2018, and I also like Hainan Airlines give a big praise and encouragement to the crew members who boarded today.

"I was pleasantly surprised"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Sydney to Beijing via Changsha. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality. I flew Sydney to Beijing. The ground staff and flight attendants were very helpful and accomodating. The person at the check-in counter offered to sit me towards the front of the plane instead of the back so I can get off quicker as I had a connection. Flight Attendants spoke good English, and their uniforms were quite lovely. They gave a blanket, pillow, and a kit featuring a toothbrush, eye shade, toothpaste, socks and ear plugs. The movie selection was great, and included recent Oscar nominated films, such as The Shape of Water. The flight crew was quick to respond to my requests of water as well. Would definitely recommend this airline! One of the best I have flown with.

"truly stellar service"

(Hong Kong)

Trip Verified | Beijing to San Jose return. I was struck with the quality of the service in the cabin. The cabin personnel were attentive, energetic, friendly and engaged. In particular, I was impressed by a German cabin attendant who spoke fluent Mandarin (and English and German). It felt like flying in First class! Unfortunately the WiFi was not working and the flight was several hours delayed, but this does not take anything away from the truly stellar service offered by the cabin personnel.

"the flight was pretty good"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Beijing to Seattle. I was sitting for over ten hours and I felt relatively no aches or pains during the whole trip due my seat. However, the flight attendants were not quite organized or consistent. For example, they served one meal from the front to the back and the other meal from the back to the front. Overall the flight was pretty good taking into account the food and drink selection.
