"a great airline to fly with"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Los Angeles to Chengdu. The flight was overall enjoyable. The ground procedures were poorly handled by the LAX ground crew. Boarding was a mess, since people poured out of the shuttle bus and flooded the jetway. Hainan uses a 2-2-2 configuration in their Boeing 787-8 business class, which is a little outdated since most of the airlines operating transpacific are using 1-2-1 seating. Business class on this flight is fairly empty therefore I did not have the need of stepping over my neighbor. Crew members were nice and helpful. Hainan probably has the best catering among all Chinese airlines. A bread basket is offered to each and every passenger and meal procedures were carefully followed. I ordered the western entree selection, which was beef tenderloin. The tenderloin was juicy and not overcooked at all (surprisingly). However the asparagus that came with the tenderloin was overcooked. Crew members were constantly walking through the aisles to attend to the needs of the passengers. Right after meal service, economy passengers started coming into the business class cabin and occupying the empty seats - it took a long time before the crew evicted them. In conclusion, Hainan is a great airline to fly with. They have a decent business class product which is way much cheaper than other Asian airlines offering services between China and the United States.

"most friendly and courteous"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Chicago to Beijing. I am highly impressed by Hainan Airlines that is one of very few of the highest 5-Star airlines with gorgeous services and comfortable seats. Even in economy class, their service, food & beverage on board are all incredible, and flight attendants are most friendly and courteous. Hainan Airlines is my first choice in the future and recommend it to every one.

"the flight was canceled"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I was booked to travel from Beijing to Boston on March 2nd 2018, but the flight was canceled because of the severe storm in Boston area. On that day, when we got the news that this flight was canceled, we were informed by the ground service from Hainan Airline to reschedule and book new tickets. People in the ground service are really nice and tried their best to reschedule tickets and brought luggage back to us and also provide accommodations. I got my tickets and took a flight 2 days later from Beijing to San Jose.

"I had a very relaxed flight"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Los Angeles to Chengdu. That was my first time to try this airline because it has very competitive airfare for my immediate flight. When I arrived in airport and checked in, just for curious sense, I asked how the business class seat would be, the staff told me the seat is a flat bed so I had no hesitation to pay $1200 for business class upgrade. I got a very nice, spacious seat which can be adjusted to a flat bed. The flight attendants are very sweet and thoughtful, very patient to take care of my request on my first late meal. The food are best among of the airlines I ever took. Fresh and a variety of foods. I also get a travel kit for washing and skincare, more surprised me is the pajamas bag, very elegant. For headphones, they also put note on the card. I got a chance to have a chat with one of attendants 4 hours before landing, she is very proud of working for Hainan Airline. I felt the great future for Hainan Airline since they have a whole package to win. I had a very relaxed flight and will keep Hainan Airline on my first option from now on. Special business class.
