"it really wasn’t too bad"

(New Zealand)

Trip Verified | Much better than expected. After reading bad reviews I was very apprehensive. My flights - 3 in total, 1st 20 min late, 2nd 30 min late, 3rd 60 min late. I was fine with this, it really wasn’t too bad. I received my luggage fine (I did make sure v secure after reading all probs with stolen items). Thanks Lion air, you were better than the reviews.

"problems before the flight"

(Italy)

Trip Verified | A lot of problems before the flight (cancellations, rescheduling, etc), but finally the flight was perfect in timing, services, assistance. After buying your ticket, check your flight info periodically on the website to avoid surprises.

"Try to avoid this company"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Horrible service, Delayed 5 hours without anybody to contact. No compensation, no foods or drinks. We just had to wait and ask for info. Staf can barely speak English and they are scrolling on their Instagram while talking to you. Try to avoid this company at all costs.

"Worst customer service ever"

(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"

(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"

(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"

(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"

(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.
