A number of outlets report that passengers are unhappy with an airline branded as “full-service,” citing a lack of onboard comforts during flights. The complaints focus on no in-flight entertainment, no free meals, and seats that do not recline.

Across the articles, the core message is that the airline’s service level does not match what many travelers expect from a “full-service” offering. The outlets describe the experience as stripped back compared with what passengers associate with full service, where meals and entertainment are typically included.

While the reporting largely aligns on the specific passenger concerns, the articles differ mainly in tone and emphasis rather than in facts. The shared theme is that travelers are questioning whether the airline’s classification reflects the amenities provided on board, based on what passengers encounter during flights.
