The aim of this report is to help airlines focus their recovery operations by better understanding their ImPax Percentage in the context of:

  • Passenger estimates
  • Competitor airlines
  • Region, Tier, and Class
  • Sentiment analysis of monthly reviews

Sample Reviews

“Travelling short notice due to a sudden illness and then bereavement I was truly thankful for [airline’s] flexible ticketing options. Typically I buy the cheapest flight, but deciding on the most flexible ticket offering last-minute changes with no extra cost (flight time-dependent), I was appreciative. I was able to change my flights twice due to changing circumstances.”

[Tier 1, FSC]

“My partner and I travelled​ from [city] to [city] and back to [city] on business class. We flew on five airlines. Sadly [airline] was very lacking. The other airlines were great and I can highly recommend them. The [Airline] aircraft was tired and grubby. We are vegetarian but they could not offer any vegetarian meals. Gave us some microwaved brocolis. I asked for fish and the option was eel. I've never eaten eel in my life and was not about to start. As to their meat meals I can't comment obviously. The onboard service was standard. Food was a let down so I would not recommend it but with Star Alliance there is no choice. The competition out there is fierce so [airline] has to do better.”

Sample Reviews

“During the flight I suffered a medical emergency where I became unconscious and collapsed. The aircraft was diverted to [city] where I was met by an ambulance and spent the rest of the night in hospital. After recovering and being given a clean bill of health I returned, with my friend who had accompanied me. The [Airline] staff were brilliant and arranged two free flights to get us home to [city] the next day. [Airline] are often criticised for cost and service, but the staff on the aircraft handled the situation professionally, and brilliantly. Brilliant service by all involved and I cannot praise them enough.”

[Tier 2, FSC]

“Absolutely terrible. I would give 0 stars if I could. Never flying again. Hidden fees of over 250 pounds. I checked in 1 hr and 40 min before the flight and got charged 55 pounds because of “late check in”. Then they don’t show you your gate until 20 minutes before your flight, you rush to get to your gate and it’s already boarding. We were priority and they said my mom’s carry-on was “too big” by 1/2 inch. They made us pay an extra 75 pounds to “check it”, we already had an extra checked bag on our ticket but they wouldn’t allow us to check the bag because we didn’t check it “when we came into the airport”. Then the man behind us had the same issue with too big of a carry on, and we got on the plane and he said they didn’t make him pay. Absolutely terrible service. I saw the terrible reviews but decided to give the airline a chance and that was a mistake! Never fly this airline.”

Sample Reviews

“Dear [Airline], I wanted to take a moment to share the INCREDIBLE in-flight experience we encountered. My husband and I were traveling with two other couples to Ghana for a 10-day trip. From the immediate boarding/pre-flight experience and throughout the entire flight we collectively received top-notched 5 star customer service. We were greeted with warm friendly smiles and a professional demeanor. Each Flight Attendant ensured we were comfortable and accommodated. This flight crew operated like a well-oiled machine. Everyone knew their role while executing in a team environment.”

“Absolutely the worst airline I’ve ever dealt with, and I will gladly pay more to never fly with [Airline] again. I travel frequently for work and handle all of our company’s travel arrangements—after this experience, I’ll be booking exclusively with [other Airline] or [other Airline] moving forward. On my return flight to [city], I encountered the rudest gate agent I’ve ever dealt with at [city] Airport. I did nothing to warrant the hostility, yet she was completely unprofessional and dismissive. [Airline’s] customer service is beyond unacceptable, and it’s clear they have no interest in treating their passengers with respect. 0/10 experience—save yourself the headache and spend the extra money on an airline that actually values its customers.”

Sample Reviews

“Recently visited [city] for the 1st time on [Airline]. Went in the big Airbus and returned on a standard flight. 10/10 absolutely outstanding. It was clean, lots of food and drink free, great staff, lots of entertainment along the way. I normally fill the flight time by sleeping. Didn’t sleep a wink on both legs of the journey due to the service. Will be using [Airline] again and again in the future.”

[Tier 1, LCC]

“[Airline] has lost it's touch, I am a frequent flyer and 10 years back [Airline] was one of the best service providers and I have taken many international flights. Fast forward to 2025 and [Airline] days are gone and it's clearly visible. Aside from the lack of proper on flight service, bad food, no one responding to call sign etc, a crucial part is also how they handle lost and found. if you have lost something in [Airline] flight, it's gone for good, customer support will simply say they don't have contact to their own lost and found team and all you can do is mail, to which automated mails and ultimate reply is they can not help. I have lost my phone in flight and clearly told them seat number under which it should be there, no one even bothered to check, one liner simple reply we have not received the mobile, then you keep on replying and they will simply say nothing much we can do. Never going to choose [Airline] again.”

Sample Reviews

“I had a great experience with [Airline] from [city] to [city]. The flight out of [airport] was early morning at 2:30am. All flights were on time and customer service was great. The ground crew and flight crew were great as well as I did not ask for too many things. I would not hesitate to fly with [Airline] again. The only downside is that I am not a big fan of early morning flights.”

[Tier 1, LCC]

“Our flight was cancelled due to the fire at Heathrow. In my view, [Airline] did NOT deal with the circumstances well at all. Firstly, they took too long to release an official announcement – when I called they said nothing was wrong. To the point where it's almost encouraging people to still make their way to an evacuated area in case their flight isn't cancelled. Secondly when the announcement finally arrived - the refund button didn't work. Thirdly, they automatically moved the flight to a different date without consent or confirmation - this is not a good thing for customers. Fourthly, I have had to call 3 times so far to speak to a customer advisor to help with requesting the refund – each time on the phone for approximately 90 minutes. The reality is things happen and we all need to be flexible. [Airline] is extremely inflexible and not customer orientated.”
