Loong Air Reviews & Complaint Guide

The best part of this trip happened before boarding. A check-in employee at Sydney noticed a document mismatch and corrected it before it became a gate problem. The process took extra minutes, but it saved me from a much bigger issue later in the day.

After a tiring trip, I mostly wanted the bags to show up and the staff to be polite. That is exactly what happened. The baggage belt at SCL started quickly, both checked bags arrived together, and the employee nearby helped an older passenger lift a heavy suitcase without being asked.

Our original flight was cancelled and Loong Air automatically moved us onto a connection that looked impossible from the start. Staff at ORD kept saying the new 13:35 departure was the only option, but by the time we landed the onward gate was already closed. What bothered me most was being told to call support while standing in the airport with hotel nights already paid for.

At gate F14, passengers with bags that had already passed the sizer were suddenly told to check them. The staff sounded annoyed when people asked whether the bags would come out planeside or at baggage claim. I would have packed differently if Loong Air had made the rule clear before boarding started.

The area around seat 10C smelled strongly of the lavatory for most of the flight. A crew member offered a middle seat several rows back, but that was the only option. For a long trip, this was one of those problems that sounds small until you are stuck with it for hours.

Once the connection was missed, every person pointed somewhere else. Airport staff said to call, the call center said to ask the airport, and the app kept showing options that disappeared before I could select them. Nobody sounded responsible for getting us to the destination anymore.

After boarding Loong Air GJ577, the screen at my seat froze and the crew tried restarting it twice. Then we were told there was a maintenance warning and everyone just sat there without a clear timeline. I understand safety checks, but the communication on February 9, 2026 made the whole cabin feel stuck and ignored.

The app said Loong Air GJ614 was boarding soon, the airport screen still showed delayed, and the gate desk told us to ignore both until they made an announcement. That kind of mixed information is exhausting when you are trying to decide whether to get food, call a ride, or run to a different gate.

A phone was left with the wrong family member during boarding, and I expected that to become a mess. The gate agent at F14 stayed calm, coordinated with the people still outside the jet bridge, and got it back before the door closed. That one employee saved the trip from starting badly.

This was a rare travel day where nothing dramatic happened. Loong Air GJ688 boarded close to the posted 22:05 time, the cabin was clean, and the crew kept the announcements short but useful. I landed at DUB close enough to schedule that my ride did not have to circle the airport.

The fare looked reasonable when I booked, but the final cost felt different after seat selection, baggage, and a change fee. For the Doha to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi trip, the add-ons made the ticket feel misleading. I would rather see the real price earlier than be surprised step by step.

The wheelchair request was on the reservation, but when we reached Amsterdam Schiphol nobody seemed prepared for it. We waited, asked twice, and almost missed the boarding window. Special assistance should not depend on finding the right person at the last minute.

I paid extra so our family could sit together, then at the airport the seats had been split anyway. The agent kept pointing to the screen like that answered the problem, even though my receipt showed the seat purchase. On a long MEX-CUN flight, being moved away from a child after paying for seats is not a small inconvenience.

The airport desk told us all rebooking had to be handled by phone. I called twice from the terminal, waited long enough to watch other passengers give up, and still did not reach anyone who could fix the trip. When travel plans are falling apart, being bounced between airport staff and the call center is not support.

A minor name correction should not have taken two calls, a fee, and repeating the same passport information again. The second agent eventually fixed it, but the first case note apparently was not visible. I spent more time proving the problem than actually solving it.

Our original flight was cancelled and Loong Air automatically moved us onto a connection that looked impossible from the start. Staff at SEA kept saying the new 22:05 departure was the only option, but by the time we landed the onward gate was already closed. What bothered me most was being told to call support while standing in the airport with hotel nights already paid for.

We came off a long international leg exhausted and still had one more flight to go. The crew on Loong Air GJ947 noticed several people were connecting onward and made a point of checking who needed gate information. It was not fancy service, just thoughtful and human, which mattered after a long day.
