Asked by Mr.Matuszak from HONG KONG | Aug. 03, 2009 01:19Reply
I have just come back from Paris to Hong Kong by Air France. High quality service???!! That is a JOKE. The flight attendent who was supposed to serve us(my wife and me) was so rude and impolite that I was speechless. When we complained to him about this attitude he simply ignored us for the 12 hours of the flight. He never offered us any drink,any food. I will never ever fly with them again. It SUCKS!

Really bad experience! It seems that the man's service is not satisfying at all. Hope it is just the individual phenomenon of the Airlines. Anyway, they should pay more attention to its customers' satisfaction!

The missing in 2009 took 228 lives. It's so sad for the relatives to get to know the news. Is it safe in the future? Very bad. I will not take it later. Hope they can do their best for its passengers.

It's not only the Air France's fault, maybe the plane, or terrorism, who knows.
