Juneyao Air

✅ Verified Review | Juneyao Airlines was a complete surprise. After a painful experience dealing with the crowds of people coming back to China after New Year's Holiday, I was afraid the flight was going to be the same. The experience flying from Krabi to Shanghai was the opposite: the plane was modern, comfortable and clean. Since I didn't know anything about the airline prior to my flight, I thought it was going to be one of those horrible charter airlines, but it's not. The crew were really nice, correct and helpful. The snack was good and the seat was comfortable. The airlines website English version is not really helpful and when you need to do something it takes you to the Chinese version. The cell phone app (at least for iPhone) is only available in Chinese. Not really helpful, but not surprising since I was the only non Chinese in the plane.

When booking with Juneyao Airlines you cannot book very small children online, you need to call. When you call you find out that the child pays 10%, everything still reasonable. Then you find out your ticket was a discount ticket, you didn't see the full price when you paid, your child pays 10% of full price ticket (which is hugely inflated), and will work out more than your adult ticket. But you already paid for your ticket and with all the cancellation rules you have to pay, so they have tricked you into paying a high price for your baby. What an immoral airline, only a snake could implement an idea like that exploiting families with babies. Of course everybody has to make a profit but you do it by being open about prices and charges. So be careful if you book with them.

Juneyao Airlines from Shanghai Pudong to Fukuoka return, both flights on time and with new A320 aircraft, modern, clean, spacious, ground service efficient, cabin crew friendly and helpful. Water and snack provided, no entertainment but it's acceptable for this 1.5hr journy. Airfare is very cheap (only RMB1000 including tax). Overall very enjoyable experience with Juneyao Airlines.

A reasonable flight for this domestic Juneyao Airlines service with basic food offerings provided on both legs and a choice of drinks on the Lijiang - Wuhan leg (which was the longer of the two). A short 20 minute stop in Wuhan enabled us to make up some lost time from the delayed departure. No inflight entertainment provided so bring your own. Cabin crew spoke limited English but were happy enough to help.

Flew Juneyao Airlines for a domestic flight PVG-WUH. The flight left within 30 minutes of scheduled and all announcements were given in both Mandarin and English. There wasn't any in-flight entertainment aboard but it did not matter on this short flight. There was a food and beverage service that began about 20 minutes after take off consisting of a bottle of water and a saucy pork sandwich that was quite good. Arrived in WUH within 20 minutes of scheduled time. Overall a good experience.

First time flying domestic in China WUH to PVG. Used Juneyao as first leg to fly back home to States - bad decision! Juneyao leg delayed by 2 hrs causing us to miss every subsequent connecting flight. We were delayed three days at PVG as our international flight was booked three days out. Juneyao refused to help us out in any way with accommodations or replacement flights. Will stick to trains for domestic travel in China.

I booked a connecting flight with Juneayo from Hong Kong to Qingdao via Shanghai. At the check-in at Hong Kong Airport I was rudely informed by a Juneyao employee it was not possible to check-in for both flights and send the luggage directly to Qingdao. As expected I lost my connecting flight to Qingdao (the flight was delayed I had to pick up luggage in Shanghai and doing the check-in again). The truth is the Juneyao employee in Shanghai was much more polite and they changed my flight with a different company (China Eastern which I recommend never had problems with them) and no additional charges but I got to Qingdao with more than 6 hours of delay (that is later than midnight). It was a long day travelling for such a short trip. Of course I'm never going to travel with Juneyao again. Rude employees in Hong Kong and there is no previous warning about such company politics anywhere.

Booked Shanghai to Xiamen flight on 28th December 2013 at 2.15pm. Checked in and settled in the business class lounge. As soon as we heard the flight started to board at around 1.45pm we started to move out of the Business Class lounge and made our way to the gate. It was a long walk so we got there at 2.00pm. Behold the plane was already starting to reverse! Asked the gate agent they said our luggage had already been taken out so we missed the flight! We had to book on to a different airline as we were going to a wedding that night. So stay close to the gate when catching flight in China even if you travel on business class. Will avoid them from now on.

Checked in at Shanghai Pudong airport 20 minutes before boarding (boarding time: 4.20pm departure: 4.50pm). Told it was delayed but staff had no information on when the flight would arrive. Decided to go through security. At about 7.30 after about 3 hours of waiting they handed out food but still didn't offer any explanation for the delay and they still didn't know when the plane would arrive. After about 3.5 hours of waiting many customers started shouting at workers. After 4.5 hours the workers fled. Still no explanation or ETA for the plane. After 6 hours we were told that our plane had landed. We finally took off around 11.50pm. 7 hours late.

Shanghai Pudong-Macao round-trip. 3+ Hours delay on the departure because the airplane left its previous point of origin that late. 4 hours delay on the way back. Compensation meal tickets on the return flight were only redeemable for a bottle of water and a package of instant noodles. No compensation on the departing flight. This was a weekend trip to Macao and the delays meant we lost our Friday night and didn't get home until past 4am on Monday before going back to work. None of us will fly Juneyao again.
