"Worst customer service ever"
K Pereti (Italy)
✅ Trip Verified | Worst customer service ever! I never met such awful people, definitely not helpful. We bought the tickets online and paid for them, but when we arrived at the airport they told us we haven’t paid. When we showed them the receipt, they told us ‘we took to long from the booking of the tickets to the payment’ and that they could not do anything and just to contact the client service online. We texted them and after 1 day still no answer .. do you think we’ll get our money back?

"Avoid this airline"
A Viotto (Switzerland)
✅ Trip Verified | I booked the first morning flight with lion air because I had to be in Denpasar at 10:30 to catch a connection flight. Lion air moves the flight to one hour later, this I would have missed my connection flight. They gave me 11 hours notice, with the email sent at 10pm. I finally had to reach Bali with an emergency arrangement through ferry. Avoid this airline, they are horrible.

"trying to email, call and chat"
Philip Mårtensson (Sweden)
Not Verified | My first flight got cancelled and changed to a flight just a few hours away with a stopover of 7 hours. Been trying to email, call and chat for over 24 hours without any help. Probably the worst airline in the world.

"recommend to avoid this company"
Laurent Bonet (Indonesia)
✅ Trip Verified | I booked a flight from Denpasar to Jakarta on 16 April The company changed from JT31 to JT25, no big schedule difference Then they changed from JT25 to JT15, 2.5 hours later So I used their involuntary change process to book another flight ID6517 at the same time as my original flight Then they informed me that the flight was delayed by 2.5 hours They never provided any explanation They kicked me off JT25 but this flight was not canceled so I guess they gave my seat to someone else Their help desk never answered. I recommend to avoid this company and sisters companies such as Batik air.

"if time is precious avoid this airline"
S Mandel (Indonesia)
✅ Trip Verified | They cancelled on me providing no reason or compensation, which is expected behavior for a Lion Air. So I rescheduled, and of course that other flight also got cancelled. So if your time is precious avoid this airline. If you are looking to gamble on whether or not you will actually fly, take Lion Air.

"by far my worst experience"
E Nahegi (Singapore)
✅ Trip Verified | Tried to book a ticket, but kept getting error msg saying that the flight request was unsuccessful, please try again. After trying 4 times it finally worked. However I was charged for 4 tickets. Got confirmation mails for 4 flights but the 3 failed attempts without flight number or anything. Also its saying that i paid by cash while it was booked off my debit card. Frustrated I tried to contact the airline which is not properly working through their whatsapp service as well as on their homepage. Wrote emails but never got an answer. Finally someone replied via chat with a standard phrase please click this link for refund. The link was a link to google translate. After researching i found the refund page. But in order for me to request a refund i need the flight number which was not given to me for the 3 failed attempts. Therefore I can not request a refund. This is by far my worst experience.

"no customer service"
Tobias Orda (Indonesia)
✅ Trip Verified | Horrible. Always huge delays, no customer service. Worth paying a little more for an alternative airline (not batik or super air jet as they are the same group and just as bad).

"usual non-existing service"
B Daarten (Indonesia)
✅ Trip Verified | Being re-booked on this flight I was not really thrilled by the option given as definitely Lion Air isn’t my favourite airline. One of the reasons is the poor seat-pitch one gets. Must admit I was pleased to get an emergency exit seat, with lots of place to stretch out. Moreover, I was excited to fly on a Boeing 737-900ER, which is not common (though Lion Air has many of them). With the usual non-existing service (nor offer to sell onboard) I noticed an elevated number of flight attendants. Though flight was quite turbulent, we landed safely.

"worst customer service experience"
Marke Smith (United States)
Not Verified | This is the worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life. They should be banned from running their business. I had a flight scheduled for 630PM to CGK booked for Lion Air on august 17th. The night before the flight they sent me telling me the flight had been cancelled with no information on the new departure. I started to worry, I ended up going to sleep and at around 10am the sent me the schedule for the new flight. It was leaving at 7:15pm but from another airline Super Air Jet. So we arrived at the airport on-time and waited for boarding at 6:45pm - we didn’t board until 7:20pm and didn’t take off til 7:45pm. By the time we landed in CGK our connecting international flight had already boarded and was leaving. We were left stuck til 2:40pm the next day.
