Lion Air

Jakarta to Tarakan via Balikpapan. Seat pitch is the smallest I have seen on any airline. Boarding in Jakarta was from both the front door and rear door. They have assigned seats so people boarding from the rear door were trying to move up to the front of the plane. Needless to say this is impossible. The amount of pushing and shoving is brutal. Left 23 minutes late due to boarding. Inflight nothing is offered on a 2+ hour flight. Flight attendants are young and stay in the galley with the curtain closed. The 737-900ER holds over 225 people. They only have 3 toilets - that's it.

Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur and Singapore-Jakarta. Check-in crews were okay. Most announcements were recorded no meal or drink. A choice of orange juice or water would be appreciated. Seat was very hard magazine onboard boring and crews weren't interested in serving passengers. The only good thing is the value of money (if you buy tickets early).

CGK-SIN-CGK. The seat was terrible with very little leg room the FA's disappeared during the flight no presence at all and the toilet was dirty. On the way back to Jakarta the air conditioner was extremely cold however the mood lighting gave a little comfort and that was the only positive thing I took from the flight.

Mataram Lombok to Denpasar. We arrived at the airport 15.00 for our 17.40 flight and according to staff and the monitors the flight was on time. As the departure time passed passengers went to check-in staff and asked what was happening we were informed the flight would be delayed and would depart at 22.15. No reason given for the delays. 22.15 came and still no sign of a flight. At 22.50 I went to the check-in staff and demanded to know what was happening. Nobody knew and they informed us the flight must have been cancelled and we would probably be taken to Denpasar the following morning. Finally a time came in at 00.15am some 10 hrs after we had checked in. I am angry that staff did not keep us informed of what was happening and still today we do not know why the plane was delayed more than 8 hours. Extremely poor service by not only Lion Air but the ground staff as well.

Jakarta to Solo trip was horrible. Drinks are not given but sold they aren't cold and they don't serve the drinks with ice either. Extremely loud announcements no entertainment. The plane was pretty dirty and my seat pocket didn't have the magazine. In my row only one seat pocket had a magazine.

SIN-CGK-MDC. Flights on time. Brand new planes nice looking interior. They accept US issued credit cards unlike other carriers. 20 kg of luggage is included in the price of ticket.

SIN-CGK-SIN. Booking is to the point. Unlike other carriers offering you - upgrades for baggage allowance better seat inflight meal and so on. 1hr delay is normal especially in CGK on evening flight. Seat pocket is dirty and not cleaned from the previous leg. Overall recommended if what you are looking for is just to get from point A to point B.

Manado to Makassar and to Jakarta. Nothing was offered on the first leg not even a cup of water. We did not see the crew at all. On the 2nd leg only 1 cup of water given and a small selection of snacks for sale after that. Again your don't see the crew at all after distribution of items. Disembarkation through the rear exit while the stewardess stood leaning against the wall with her arms folded. The only good thing about the flight and airline was that it was on time the seating was really very cramped.

CGK-DPS-CGK. They take you from A to B and that's it. Web check-in was not functioning. Last minute change on departure gate. Delays seems to be normal when flying with them the only positive was the cheap fare.

My trip from Changi to Jakarta was pleasant I choose the seat near the emergency door and the leg stretch is very good. The trip back was nice and smooth it is a no gimmick airline. For me you've got what you pay.
