complaint · Customer Service ★☆☆☆☆

Could not reach anyone during a schedule change

North Star Air changed my departure from Miami by several hours. The email said I could choose alternatives online, but every option ended with an error. I waited 43 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 North Star Air NO665. At Terminal 4, the escort arrived before boarding, stayed with us through security, and made sure the destination team at Toronto Pearson 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 North Star Air NO702 and saw two separate $136 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 North Star Air NO739 loaded fine at home, then disappeared at Los Angeles security on Apr 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.

review · Staff ★★★★☆

Helpful cabin crew on a long flight

Alex on North Star Air NO776 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 · Mar 20, 2026 · 4/5 stars

complaint · Baggage ★☆☆☆☆

Delayed bag arrived damaged

The bag reached Sydney Kingsford Smith 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.

Grace Miller · Las Vegas, NV · Jun 23, 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 Chicago O'Hare. Instead, the North Star Air 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 Jan 23, 2026.

complaint · Reservations ★★☆☆☆

Overbooked flight created a messy evening

North Star Air asked for volunteers on NO887, then started calling names at the podium without making the order clear. We were traveling from HND to LHR for a family event and spent nearly an hour unsure whether we still had seats. We did fly, but the communication was poor.

review · Punctuality & Speed ★★★★★

Short review: exactly what I needed

North Star Air NO924 boarded on time, left on time, and my checked bag arrived. The crew was polite without overdoing it. After several complicated trips this year, a normal flight felt like a win.

Marcus Hill · Chicago, IL · Mar 8, 2026 · 5/5 stars

complaint · Sales & Marketing ★★☆☆☆

Voucher rules were not clear

I accepted a $199 travel voucher after a disruption, but the restrictions were not explained at the airport. Later I learned it could not be used on the itinerary I needed. North Star Air should explain voucher limits before passengers accept them under pressure.

Tara Singh · Buffalo, NY · Jun 5, 2026 · 2/5 stars

complaint · Food ★★★☆☆

Food service ran out too early

On the 09:45 departure, meal choices were gone before the cart reached the middle of the cabin. I understand supplies are limited, but North Star Air NO108 was not a short hop. The crew apologized, yet planning should be better on a longer sector.

Noah Evans · Phoenix, AZ · Sep 16, 2026 · 3/5 stars

review · Customer Service ★★★★☆

Lounge desk was patient with a confused itinerary

My connection printed with the wrong terminal, and I walked to the North Star Air lounge desk for help. The agent at Terminal 2 looked up the itinerary, showed me the terminal change, and wrote the gate area on my boarding pass. Small gesture, big relief.

Iris Coleman · San Diego, CA · Dec 26, 2026 · 4/5 stars

complaint · Pet Travel ★★★☆☆

Pet reservation was confirmed but missing

I called before travel to confirm the pet-in-cabin reservation for North Star Air NO182. At Madrid Barajas, the record was missing and the agent had to call a supervisor while the line grew behind me. We eventually boarded, but the confirmation should have been visible from the start.

Avery Morgan · Austin, TX · Mar 26, 2026 · 3/5 stars

review · Staff ★★★★☆

A crew member handled a tense cabin well

There was an argument over overhead bin space before North Star Air NO219 pushed back. Daniela kept the tone calm, found space several rows forward, and avoided embarrassing either passenger. That kind of cabin control matters.

Priya Shah · Denver, CO · Jun 26, 2026 · 4/5 stars

complaint · Frequent Flyer ★★☆☆☆

Miles did not post after repeated requests

The miles from North Star Air NO256 to Frankfurt never posted. I submitted the boarding pass, ticket number, and receipt twice. The reply kept saying the trip was not eligible, but no one explained why. Loyalty programs should not make customers chase basic credit.

Daniel Brooks · Orlando, FL · Sep 26, 2026 · 2/5 stars

review · Check-in ★★★★☆

Security document check was organized

For an international departure from Tokyo Haneda on Apr 24, 2026, North Star Air 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.
