MIAT Mongolian Airlines

✅ Trip Verified | Hong Kong to Ulannbator. Overall quality of flight is very bad upon Value to money. Firstly, business class seat has no entertainment at all. Nothing. Secondly, the seat was almost not able to recline. And Front to back space is still tight. Thirdly, food was just okay if it is economy class, but for business class it was actually not good. The toilet was horrible and not clean and toilet seat is always can't hold straight up.

✅ Trip Verified | Tokyo Narita to Ulaanbaatar. They used to have 162 seats on an already uncomfortable flight; now they have 174 seats on what is the most miserable flying experience ever. No entertainment of any variety on this flight from Japan to UB, so bring a book. It's too tight to sleep. Babies crying, people cursing (can't blame them, really) - it's a punishment flight. Do not eat the breakfast burrito on the return flight from UB to Narita, even the Mongolians will tell you it will keep you in the bathroom. No way to upgrade to Economy plus. Plus they have cut back on the weight of carry-on, so make sure you're either super light or have a suitcase that you're checking. No WiFi connection, and there are no Miat staff at Narita until just before departure, so if you have questions or problems, you're out of luck.

✅ Trip Verified | I missed my flight to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from Beijing at 1:40am in the morning, as I arrived and there were no staff from MIAT airlines to help with check-in, or direct me to get onto the next flight or get reimbursed for the flight. Not one person was there. I went to the attending airport customer service to ask for help and they called MIAT airlines 3 times (2 times before flight and one time after), to which on the third time, they called, MIAT airlines picked up talked with the attendee and when attendee asked them if they could talk to me, they refused, while I was standing there listening in. Beyond being enraged at not getting to talk to MIAT personnel at all, I later was able to get in contact with the Manager of MIAT Airlines in Beijing, to which he threatened to sue me if I wrote a bad review. That is quite ridiculous. I had only asked MIAT Airlines to send a written documentation to the third party Feixu platform on Alipay that I had bought the ticket on to help me get reimbursement of 500rmb for the ticket, a ticket I bought for 2700rmb and they refused. In this case, as they are the airline, I don't believe they lose any money. It would be just be providing documentation to get the third party to reimburse me the 500rmb. I complained to them about their service personnel being intentionally unavailable to talk post missing the flight. Poor service on top of added injury to passengers. I definitely recommend this airline or their staff. I am appalled at the way I was treated by a Manager.

✅ Verified Review | My return trip with MIAT Mongolian Airlines (four-hours each way) was generally smooth apart from the minor technical issue on the first leg from Ulaanbaatar to Hong Kong. Shortly after leaving the gate, while taxiing to the runway in preparation for take-off,the captain made an announcement that one of the engine stopped working and we would have to return to the gate. We disembarked the aircraft and had to wait for another two hours at the departure terminal before we got told that the flight was ready for boarding again. The ground staff were very disorganized, especially when it came to re-issuing everyone on the flight with a new ticket, but the flight attendants were very professional. I appreciated the apology announcement for the delay both prior to take-off and after landing. The return flight was hassle-free. As for the food, I found it on par with most other airlines. IFE was limited to a single movie which was shown on a shared screen.

✅ Verified Review | My return trip from Ulaanbaatar to Seoul Incheon was relatively uneventful. Check-in was smooth and my 2 pieces of hand-luggage was not weighed on either of the legs to check that is was under the limit. The aircraft was very dated and there was no IFE for the entire duration of the flight (4 hours). However, I was more then content with using my one music player. The seats are fairly wide, with a 2-3-2 seat layout in economy. Service on the flight was on par with other airlines and hot meals were served on both legs. The flight arrival time of 12:50pm lines up well with connecting flights out of Seoul Incheon.

MIAT Mongolian from Ulaanbaatar to Seoul on Boeing 767. On time departure and arrival on this three hours flight. Cabin clean. Good seat. Breakfast good. Excellent staff service both on ground and during the flight. Fantastic scenery to watch during take-off out of Ulaanbaatar. Overall just a smooth, enjoyable experience.

Flight was delayed for few hours. And my luggage wasn't even on the flight. I arrived in Mongolia on Sunday morning and was told to come on Tuesday morning for my luggage. When I went to the airport on Tuesday I was told that my luggage will arrive on Thursday. Completely ruined my holiday and was a total waste of time and money.

I flew on a business trip to Ulan Bator from Hong Kong. The ticket price was really good! The crew and staff were attentive and catered to my requests, which wasn't much, but they're a good airline that I wish flew to more destinations,

April 1st OM136. Return April 15th OM135. Flew from Berlin Tegel to Ulaan Baatar via Moscow. Seats were comfortable IFE was decent enough food and drink was good service friendly but some staff had limited English. One hour layover in Moscow is essentially getting off plane gong through customs and getting back on again. Outbound flight was on time and no problems. Return flight was 40 minutes late leaving UB due to snow and had to circle Moscow for 25 minutes for some reason transit was subsequently very short as they tried to catch up on lost time. Unfortunately late into Berlin and missed connecting flight to London. The flights themselves were all fine just annoying to have onward travel plans affected by the delays.

Mongolia to Singapore and then Air Asia to Koto Kinabalu in East Malaysia. Worst check in service I have ever experienced. Purchased advance seats in row 6 (A and C) from ULN to Singapore via PEK for Oct 25 2014. No record of them when we checked in but after much debate got seats 6D and E. Agent could not get the fact we wanted an aisle and a window. Was fairly adamant they had to be side by side. 10 min before boarding she approached us in the waiting area demanding our boarding passes in exchange for seats 28B and C last row and by the washroom. Same thing happening to another passenger. We asked for a supervisor but no one showed up. The apparent reason was that those going to PEK had to be front and those on the longer flight to Singapore at the back. We approached the Service Director and at PEK were moved to Bus Class. Too bad because airplane was anew 737 and well appointed with lots of leg room.
