complaint · Refunds ★★☆☆☆

Refund request kept getting closed

I cancelled within the permitted window and uploaded the receipts for China Express Airlines G5292. The refund case showed as closed even though the $102 credit never posted. Each chat agent told me to wait another billing cycle. I do not mind a process, but I do mind starting from zero every time I contact support.

complaint · Boarding ★★★☆☆

Boarding group treatment felt unnecessary

At Los Angeles on Jun 4, 2026, our boarding group 6 was called and then held to the side while several later passengers were allowed through. No one explained the change. The flight was fine once we sat down, but the tone at the door made the start of the trip feel disorganized and dismissive.

complaint · Seats ★★☆☆☆

Family seats were split after payment

We paid to keep our family together on China Express Airlines G5366 from MAD to DOH. At check-in, two of the 2 children were assigned several rows away. The airport team fixed one seat but not all of them, so another passenger had to trade. Families should not have to negotiate at the cabin door after paying for seats.

review · Staff ★★★★★

Clean cabin and a crew that noticed details

The cabin on China Express Airlines G5403 was clean, and the crew noticed small things without being asked. On Dec 15, 2026, a passenger near me was nervous during turbulence, and a flight attendant checked back twice with water and a quiet update. Nothing dramatic happened, which is exactly why the trip felt professional.

complaint · Customer Service ★☆☆☆☆

Could not reach anyone during a schedule change

China Express Airlines changed my departure from Chicago O'Hare by several hours. The email said I could choose alternatives online, but every option ended with an error. I waited 106 minutes on the phone and then the call dropped. By the time I reached an agent, the better connection was gone.

review · Accessibility ★★★★★

Wheelchair assistance was handled with care

My mother needed wheelchair assistance for China Express Airlines G5477. At Terminal 4, the escort arrived before boarding, stayed with us through security, and made sure the destination team at London Heathrow knew where to meet her. It made a difficult travel day feel manageable.

complaint · Price ★★★☆☆

Seat fee was charged twice

I selected a standard aisle seat for China Express Airlines G5514 and saw two separate $156 charges on my card. The website showed only one seat purchase, so I had to send bank screenshots to prove the duplicate billing. The duplicate was corrected, but only after three messages.

complaint · Online & App ★★★☆☆

App boarding pass disappeared at security

The mobile boarding pass for China Express Airlines G5551 loaded fine at home, then disappeared at New York JFK security on Dec 23, 2026. The kiosk printed a new one, but I had to leave the line and start over. The staff helped, but the app made a simple trip more stressful than it needed to be.

review · Staff ★★★★☆

Helpful cabin crew on a long flight

Alex on China Express Airlines G5588 deserves credit. I had a tight deadline after landing and asked about the arrival gate. The crew could not promise anything, but they checked the latest gate information, helped me keep my laptop bag accessible, and gave clear updates before landing.

Noah Evans · Charlotte, NC · Nov 14, 2026 · 4/5 stars

complaint · Baggage ★☆☆☆☆

Delayed bag arrived damaged

The bag reached Mexico City 4 days after I did, and one wheel was cracked. The airport desk told me to file online, the website asked for airport paperwork, and the airport desk had not given me that form. That loop made the baggage issue feel worse than the damage.

Iris Coleman · Las Vegas, NV · Feb 8, 2026 · 1/5 stars

review · Ticketing ★★★★☆

Counter staff fixed a name issue quickly

A middle initial was missing from my ticket, and I expected a long argument at Madrid Barajas. Instead, the China Express Airlines counter agent checked the passport, corrected the record, and explained what would show on the boarding pass. The whole issue took about ten minutes on Sep 8, 2026.

complaint · Reservations ★★☆☆☆

Overbooked flight created a messy evening

China Express Airlines asked for volunteers on G5699, then started calling names at the podium without making the order clear. We were traveling from SIN to SYD for a family event and spent nearly an hour unsure whether we still had seats. We did fly, but the communication was poor.
