"excellent service and food"
Georges Sioufi (Canada)
✅ Trip Verified | Beirut to Athens. Left on time, excellent service and food for economy, very good entertainment system. (Keep in mind I paid very little for this flight) What essentially counted for about 5 points was the crew service and the food. Here is what we were given in economy: A container of labneh spiced with sumac, cheddar and achawem (I think) cheese decorated with some vegetables, peach yoghurt. A bit of bread. Mineral water, orange juice box. Choice of coffee or tea. Metal cutlery. All my praise to the crew for this pleasant experience and those responsible for choosing in-flight amenities. You made my departure from Lebanon a pleasant one and will surely prioritize choosing you in the future. Please, MEA, find a solution to operate a flight from Montreal to Beirut.

"an excellent flight"
Georges Sioufi (Canada)
✅ Trip Verified | London to Beirut, an excellent flight. The seats may not recline, but what they have in their A330 is a seat where the bottom goes forward and the back changes angle. The tray table was large enough for my medium-sized laptop and because seats don't recline, there is no chance for the screen to get crushed. When it came to the food, I think we were well fed. Every item was of good quality and had decent flavour. It felt like I was on a 4 star airline. I did not use the in-flight entertainment system

"attendants always look exhausted"
Jeffry Roukoz (Lebanon)
✅ Trip Verified | Riyadh to Beirut. I fly MEA not only because I am Lebanese but because I choose to. Meals are amazing and exceed my expectations. Flight attendants are caring although they always look exhausted. I recently got my Silver Status package from MEA and really appreciate the gesture.

"Old aircraft and poor service"
A Marugani (Canada)
✅ Trip Verified | Beirut to Paris. Old aircraft and poor service. The seats don't recline and very uncomfortable. The food distribution is unorganized. Many people didn't even get water.

"flight was very pleasant"
Abbas Ahmed (Belgium)
✅ Trip Verified | Beirut to Brussels on an A320. The flight was very pleasant. Flight attendants were nice and attentive. Legroom in Economy seemed above average. Breakfast was served, options of Knefeh or Omelette, I opted for the Knefe which was ok and the portion was generous. IFE was very limited with boring choices. No WIFI on-board and the cabin was hot. I will fly MEA again in a heart beat and I recommend them.

"very pleasant flight"
F Mustafa (Egypt)
✅ Trip Verified | Cairo to Beirut return. A very pleasant flight. On-time departure. For a 1 hour flight, a snack tray was served with sandwiches, juice, tea, water and custard style dessert. Cabin crew professional and efficient. The cabin interior is very pleasant. It wouldn't hurt for cabin crew to smile every now and again though. On return flight 23/12/2018, again, on time departure and arrival back to CAI. The cabin crew on this flight were professional and efficient only a little more friendly as well. Same snack tray handed out, this time chocolate muffins were handed out as a little extra.

"the worst I've ever flown"
Menelaos Megariotis (Greece)
✅ Trip Verified | After taking over 100 flights a year for almost 10 years, this airline is hands down the worst I've ever flown. Let's just say one thing: the economy seats on their long haul fleet simply don't recline. On top, the backs are placed at a completely ridiculous almost-vertical angle. After a 3.5 hour flight my entire body is hurting and I can't turn my head because my neck is sore. Can't even imagine how it would be taking this aircraft long haul. A complete joke. Never flying Middle East Airlines again no matter what.

"weren’t friendly at all"
T Medlej (United States)
Not Verified | Frankfurt to Beirut. The flight attendants weren’t friendly at all, and I was traveling in business class. There were 3 passengers in business class. After the boarding was complete and the doors are close, the flight attendant brought 2 couples from the back to the business cabin? I gave Middle East Airlines three chances (three trips) and they failed every time. Never again.

"check in is very unpleasant"
Maguie El Boustani (Italy)
✅ Trip Verified | Milan to Beirut. The crew on check in is very unpleasant and treat customers in a very bad way as they are offering us the flight for free. I always chose MEA and I did more than 20 hours journey in Italy because I like to travel with MEA, but I will never do it again.

"refund fees and no show fees"
Lama Saad (Lebanon)
Not Verified | This is the only airline maybe that you have to contact the call center for everything!, I asked to refund my ticket after I decided not to travel, and after that I received an auto-reply that the refund request is received, and after that I tried to access my reservation again to make sure that my reservation is cancelled and I could not find it so I thought all went well. I contacted the call center to ask about the amount to be refunded, and they informed me I have a refund fees and no show fees as I did not call to cancel! How can I know that my reservation is still there when I could not find it online and after receiving an email stating that I will get my money back within 21 days as a maximum! this is very unprofessional (the rating below it is based on a previous trip I had via MEA).
