review · Check-in ★★★★☆

Security document check was organized

For an international departure from Sydney Kingsford Smith on Oct 24, 2026, Afriqiyah Airways had a separate document check before bag drop. The line looked long but moved steadily, and agents were clear about passports, visas, and onward tickets. I appreciated the organization.

complaint · Maintenance ★★★☆☆

Maintenance delay was explained poorly

I do not blame Afriqiyah Airways for checking a maintenance item on 8U398. Safety comes first. What bothered me was the lack of updates: first ten minutes, then another twenty, then silence. Passengers can handle delays better when someone explains the plan honestly.

Arrival team helped after a medical scare

A passenger near us felt faint before landing on Afriqiyah Airways 8U435. The crew asked for medical help, kept the aisle clear, and arranged for staff to meet the aircraft at Madrid Barajas. It was handled respectfully without creating panic in the cabin.

A gate agent saved the connection

I was already stressed when the inbound aircraft reached Dubai late on Jul 20, 2026. Renee at the gate checked the Afriqiyah Airways app, moved me to an earlier boarding lane for 8U472, and called ahead so the crew knew I was coming. I made the Singapore Changi connection with only a few minutes to spare. It was the kind of calm help that changes the whole trip.

complaint · Baggage ★★☆☆☆

Baggage updates stopped after the first claim

My suitcase did not arrive at Chicago O'Hare on Oct 11, 2026. The first agent filed claim 8U-4997 and sounded confident, but after that the online tracker barely changed. I called twice, got two different answers, and bought basic clothes without knowing what would be reimbursed. The bag eventually appeared, but the silence was more frustrating than the delay itself.

complaint · Refunds ★★☆☆☆

Refund request kept getting closed

I cancelled within the permitted window and uploaded the receipts for Afriqiyah Airways 8U546. The refund case showed as closed even though the $46 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 Mexico City on Apr 23, 2026, our boarding group 3 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 Afriqiyah Airways 8U620 from DOH to JFK. 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 Afriqiyah Airways 8U657 was clean, and the crew noticed small things without being asked. On Oct 26, 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

Afriqiyah Airways changed my departure from Frankfurt by several hours. The email said I could choose alternatives online, but every option ended with an error. I waited 80 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 Afriqiyah Airways 8U731. At Terminal 4, the escort arrived before boarding, stayed with us through security, and made sure the destination team at Madrid Barajas knew where to meet her. It made a difficult travel day feel manageable.

Sophia Grant · Denver, CO · Dec 23, 2026 · 5/5 stars

complaint · Price ★★★☆☆

Seat fee was charged twice

I selected a standard aisle seat for Afriqiyah Airways 8U768 and saw two separate $100 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.

Omar Khan · Orlando, FL · Mar 17, 2026 · 3/5 stars

complaint · Online & App ★★★☆☆

App boarding pass disappeared at security

The mobile boarding pass for Afriqiyah Airways 8U805 loaded fine at home, then disappeared at Toronto Pearson security on Oct 24, 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.

Laura Bennett · Seattle, WA · Jun 10, 2026 · 3/5 stars

review · Staff ★★★★☆

Helpful cabin crew on a long flight

Alex on Afriqiyah Airways 8U842 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.

Rafael Torres · Charlotte, NC · Sep 18, 2026 · 4/5 stars

complaint · Baggage ★☆☆☆☆

Delayed bag arrived damaged

The bag reached Miami 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.
