Pros: "The pursar was super. She joked around with the passengers to make them feel comfortable"
Pros: "All"
Cons: "Rush through US customs going down do to late flight held plane"
Pros: "Super fast. All on time."
Cons: "I didn't like in a middle seat and being told that in order to move to an aisle seat I would have to pay $13.50. Normally with Westjet it was always free to change seats at Check in. It's frustrating when things change and you only find out at the time of check in rather than at time of booking."
Pros: "Easy boarding"
Cons: "The plane had to much fuel, had to wait over an hour in the plane so their maintenance personnel can remove the excess fuel The captain announced- several times What maintenance morans are running this outfit? THIS IS RIDICULOUS- TO MUCH FUEL!!"
Pros: "Decent flight."
Cons: "Entertainment system did not work. Also they said there is USB sockets at your seat but there were none."
Pros: "More leg room in seat than expected."
Pros: "It was clean and on time"

Pros: "Staff are very welcoming and helpful."
Cons: "Two worst landings I have experienced. Boarding is always chaotic on Westjet"
Pros: "The crew on the ground and in the air were great. So helpful and upbeat. Every attempt was made to ensure our comfort and safety."
Cons: "I was in a window seat next to a small child and her mother. They were both lovely, but I couldn't move for the bulk of the trip because they slept most of the way. Not the fault of the airline of course, but if there was a bit more leg room, it would have been a less claustrophobic trip. I used to fly a lot back in the 70s and early 80s and I don't remember ever being so uncomfortable. I have another trip flying back home at the end of the week, and, quite frankly I'm dreading it. Also, it was impossible to hear the captain's address, the on-board instructions, or various other announcements, in the airport and on the plane. Especially on the plane; the speakers were far too quiet to hear anything the captain said other than it was a nice day."
Pros: "Flight crew very attentive."
Cons: "Condition of bathroom at front."
Pros: "Arrived safely."
Cons: "The fact that planes still aren't loaded back to front slows down any chance of efficiency. You're slowing your own business down by not using common sense. Lots of turbulence on both flights."
Pros: "The flight attendants are awesome! We were traveling with our 6 month old daughter, and the flight attendants went out of their way to make sure we had a personal safety demo for our daughter, and made sure we had everything we needed. They even held her while I went to the bathroom! Amazing customer service!!"
Cons: "No entertainment-but I think this is being phased out of most planes now."
Cons: "The waiting The late flight. Sat in TO Pierson for 3 hrs just to get this connection. That was after a 14 hr international flight."
Pros: "The stewards were great however no TV anymore and meals because of cost cutting was where we thought it was lacking."
Cons: "Refer to above :"
Pros: "Wifi"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The crew was so friendly. They offered to check bags for free at the gate which is awesome because I didn't have to worry about finding space in the overhead bins when boarding."
Cons: "Flight was delayed an hour, but it was due to weather, so it is really out of westjets hands."
Cons: "There was not much food to offer when they came to us."
Cons: "It didn't happen"
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Delay ...!"
Pros: "Crew was friendly."
Cons: "Lack of maintenance. Seats did not recline, seat in front of me was broken. No reading lights available. One washroom became inoperable. Just showing a lack of maintenance or cost saving measures until new planes are delivered. Not a great impression for a carrier striving to compete against Air Canada. I would say they are competing with Air Transat."
Pros: "When I stepped onto the plane, there was someone there to greet you. That was nice."
Pros: "Lots of room and overall smooth flight. Watched the free wifi entertainment, not the most current but a good selection."
Cons: "It was chilly on the flight despite not having the vents turned on in my row and blankets are no longer provided without cost. I did not want to be cold but I also did not want to own a west jet blanket."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "The crew were friendly and professional; the flight was safe--by far the top priority!"
Cons: "The plane needed a jump start before we could leave Vancouver (this was during daytime, sunny skies, about +1°C), which didn't inspire confidence in the plane's airworthiness and which delayed our departure by almost an hour. But evidently the crew followed the required procedure and we arrived safely in Calgary. Better to be a bit late than to have an unsafe flight."
Pros: "Fast cheap flight"
Cons: "Nothong"
Pros: "very amusing male steward! (welcome to westjet flight xxx to cancun!")"
Cons: "well, someday i hope to be able to experience "first class!" travel, but all in all, quite adequate! i always try to fly westjet in canada."

Pros: "The staff was outstanding from the minute we arrived in Hamilton till we got to Edmonton. So impressed with the customer service."
Pros: "Flight was great! Just a bit slow on boarding, that ok , I understand. Out of Hamilton but better than Toronto."
Cons: "Arriving at Orlando, Real confusing and I'm not really old yet. Good thing we had people to meet us, I had no idea where to go."
Cons: "Wi fi didn't work"
Pros: "The West Jet reps everywhere were calm, cool, and friendly. I thought they were terrific. In Edmonton, the women from West Jet did their best to help and keep the waiting disgruntled passengers informed. In Kelowna, when I discovered my luggage was still in Calgary, the West Jet rep was cheerful and helpful. How could I possibly be annoyed?"
Cons: "Wrong. I ended up in Kelowna."
Pros: "The staff were so helpful to travellers with small children and elderly travellers. They looked like they really enjoyed their jobs...Well Done Christine S North Vancouver"
Pros: "food, flight crew, leg room"
Cons: "crying babies"
Pros: "Pleasant staff and adequate leg room."
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 2 hours. So we reached almost at midnight to Vancouver."
Pros: "the connection time in Calgary was short, so overall the trip was verily quick. Generally, the flight was good, clean plane, good services."
Cons: "There was no food for sale on a 4 hour flight from Hamilton to Calgary the flight left at 6:30 a.m., meaning that one had to be at the airport by 5:30 a.m., and for me leave where I was staying an hour before that. It was a connecting flight in Calgary with almost no time in the airport so I didn't get to eat until I arrived in Nanaimo at 1:15 p.m., Ontario time. for health reasons - I'm diabetic, I wish I had known that no "real" food was available. I got a snack which I read had 50 calories, and I got a juice which I normally won't drink to maintain blood sugar levels."
Cons: "WestJet offers very few services."

Cons: "No healthy snack options"

Cons: "They lost all my luggage"
Cons: "fly cleanup"
Pros: "All good, excellent crew."
Cons: "After awhile Seats were a little uncomfortable."
Cons: "Even though all correspondence told me I could check in 24 hours ahead and choose a seat, after repeatedly trying, I gave up. I even called and was told I could do it, but I couldn't. Because of that, I got a crappy seat. Another man and I stood outside of a bathroom for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come out, and we finally discovered that a flight attendant had locked it from the outside because of turbulence and forgot to open it. My checked bag was tagged with the priority sticker. I had a tight connection to catch a bus once I got to Boston. My bag came out of the carousel exactly 15 minutes after the first bag came out. That's priority???"

Cons: "The confort of thé seats. Way too tight for a 6 hour flight."
Pros: "Very pleasant, competent, attentive, efficient crew."

Cons: "Food/ beverage service poor - luggage handling extremely bad. Delayed delivery at muc airport of one bag. Second bag did not arrive. Their luggage handler - global- extremely un/non professional.

I still have nothing to change into now and there was no compensation offered whatsoever. Never flying with this airline again."

Pros: "The actual flight"
Cons: "Food and comfort. Seats too small and no leg room."
Cons: "Being charged $100 each way for checked baggage, no where on my itenerary did it mention that"
Pros: "I flew overnight from Toronto, Canada to Dublin and had a relatively pleasant experience. The food and drink trolleys came by quite quickly and frequently, and the food exceeded my expectations. The crew was friendly, for the most part. Boarding certainly could've been smoother... But overall, I'd fly Aer Lingus again for an overseas trip."

Pros: "Great seats plenty of leg room"
Cons: "The food... Yikes"

Pros: "Fast and efficient crew"
Cons: "A going-through-the-paces flight and incredibly expensive beer and wine."
Cons: "90 minutes stranded on the tarmac with no explanation. Not the way you start a trip. While the fact of being stranded was out of the control of Aer Lingus, communication was not."
Cons: "Seats cramped. Cabin crew in my section unhelpful and not particularly friendly. Was cold and asked for blankets and was told to go looking for one. Food service selection poorly planned: both main entries had dairy and no alternative was offered when I explained that I was lactose intolerant. Desert was dairy also. Snack had a lot of cheese. I later noticed one of the cabin crew eating a n apparently non-daily pasta dish. One toilet was also out of service."
Pros: "Nothing. I flew with West Jet. Their review shall be posted on their forum"
Cons: "The abrupt cancellation"
Cons: "Weather delays. No water except for purchase"
Cons: "We were surprised at check-in by a baggage charge for our 1st checked bag for each passenger. (We were led to believe that the 1st checked bag had no charge for each passenger before arriving at the airport.)"
Pros: "From the moment I arrived I felt very taken care of. Plenty of seating in lounge, with many of them facing runway. People were friendly and accommodating. Food was average. On aircraft, the staff was outstanding."

Cons: "3.5 hr delay due to mechanical issues. Missed connecting flight."

Cons: "------- we were very cold on the plane . ."
Pros: "Have traveled many long haul flights with various airlines in past 6 months. The Aer Lingus food was significantly better than the others. Very tasty."
Cons: "Not enough seating at gate in Dublin and the space needs updating. A complimentary beer or wine with the meals, as provided by other carriers, would be nice."
Pros: "What do you say about that loses you luggage both directions. It isn't reliable so that's it for me with aer Linus."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Limited choice of entertainment. ****Lost my luggage both destination bound and home bound**** Being kept in the plane for an extended period of time after having landed. Not even a coffee during the connecting flights (Dublin to Cardiff and Gatwick to Dublin). Poor connecting facilities and having to repeat security screening before connecting to the second leg of trip."
Pros: "The seats were much more comfortable then my last flight. The entertainment system was also updated from the 1980's remote and cord ones on my flight from DC to Paris."
Cons: "There was no food between the two meals on an 8 hour flight. I had a flight attendant rudely tell me that there is nothing to offer until the next meal. No one reached out to me about the horrible flight and comments I made from the last flight."
Pros: "The seats, staff, entertainment, particularly liked that you served hot chocolate! The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Food -vegan menu was bad for n the outgoing flight, better on the incoming flight. No vegan food available on domestic fight. Sitting in the aisle seat meant often people pushing past your seat."
Cons: "I may be wrong but these days, the staff curtsy and overall well coming approach is lacking! Just a smile and a few cheerful words can transform passengers' mood greatly!! This becomes particularly important when one is traveling for > 9 hours back to back flights!! One can extra charge for it!!"
Pros: "The crew was OK, but nothing special."
Cons: "Air France should not sell tickets for which the connection flights are almost impossible to catch. My luggage was not transferred to my connecting flight. I had to run to catch the flight to Bucharest. At CDC there were only two custom officers for checking passport of EU citizens, on a Saturday morning with hundreds and hundreds incoming travelers. On top of it, one female officer was rude. Typical french :("
Cons: "Very cramped seat on the TGV train. I will definitely choose and pay a seat on my own next time, rather than accepting the on picked by Air France... And it will be cheaper, too!"

Pros: "Incredible staff. Super polite"
Pros: "Boarding procedures and crew were top. Wines and beverages excellent and even in super economy water was served several times"
Cons: "The food could have been much better, should consider doing everything organic. As it was, the chicken in the meal was awful, the dessert terrible. The rice in the salad hard, almost uncooked. The only good quality food was the bread and the cheese"
Pros: "Entertainment system failed repeatedly."
Cons: "Entertainment system failed repeatedly."
Pros: "Crew was solicitous."
Cons: "They didn't seat a couple with a baby together which put me in the unpleasant place of being asked to give up my bulkhead seat for a window seat."

Cons: "When I purchased my flight ticket , I purchased with a checked bag (23 kg /50 #) how ever ( who will fly to Ukraine with a 10kg suitcase) I booked for a KLM flight , they used (partener airlines ) when I arrived to LA I flew with Delta , they checked my Suitcase at no cost all the way to my final destinations , that was expected ! When I was going to return , they made me payed 120 dollars ( in Kiev , Ukraine (UIA) , I was very disappointed and I really will love an explanation about all this !"
Cons: "Being in the middle of the 4 seats with guys on both sides. They tend to restrict the space by using the arm rests."
Pros: "Leg space was great, food was delicious, alcohol served 3-4 times, and the in-flight entertainment was spectacular. I saw 4 movies and slept somewhat comfortably for once!"
Cons: "The plane (Boeing 777) is packed like a sardines can, with 10 narrow uncomfortable seats across in Economy Class. The crew didn't even bring water for an 1,5 hr into the flight! The plane was very hot, with very little air flowing through the salon. Food was bland for dinner and inedible for breakfast. The crew was barely there, and borderline rude when asked something."
Cons: "Missed flight due to lack of direction, last minute gate change and they shut door in our face after telling us they were holding plane"
Pros: "The size of the plane was nice. They had a good move selection. The vegan meal I was given was great."
Cons: "It was loud, cold, the food was just okay at least my vegan meal was the bomb but it would have been better had when we booked the flight it allowed me to also choose this option for my husband. Since he is vegan as well."
Cons: "Staff where so unhelpful that I missed my flight and then refused to offer any assistance as to how I could remedy this situation. This cost me over €180 which is a weeks food and stay for me. Don't fly with these guys or with air Croatia."
Pros: "Boarding was on time"
Cons: "flight was delayed by 20 minutes Boarding got me through Sky priority quickly. Had to then wait in the boarding tunnel as the cabin was not ready. large queue Seats were exactly the same as economy so offered no added benefits apart from the meal on board parked in a distant area of the terminal and had to shuttle bus to 2E which meant a very tight transfer"
Cons: "Flight cancelled because of weather"
Pros: "Plenty of seat space"
Cons: "In flight entertainment and call button was broken ... crew never passes to ask if you'd like water."
Pros: "The service"
Pros: "Staff was nice"
Cons: "Very cramped. Poor leg room also with.metal bars under seats that further. Limited foot room. Terrible options in movies."
Cons: "Initially the flight from Lima was delayed for almost 1:30 and then we lost this connection then Airfrance rebooking to SAS they tell us to take all our luggage's and check in again it's was awful and really bad from then walk and spend time we suppose to be quite at home ... the worst was in SAS have ano system and for 1.5 kilos extras you might pay 33€ so after long day and wait, running everywhere with all my staff I see to eat a 11€ menu at the airport with not more explanation from Airfrance .. really bad and worst services.."

Pros: "Airplane staff were good"
Cons: "The crew was not very polite."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and polite, both beverages and an excellent lunch was offered."
Cons: "A delay was not ideal but nothing to worry about since the flight arrived on time."
Cons: "Plane late departing allegedly because of cleaning the plane, but why was the cleaning done that late? Also, ground crew remarkably uninformed about what was going on in the plane. Poor communication between plane and ground crew. No explanation from pilot as to continuing reason for delay even after we boarded. Departure time, 1.00 pm, boarded at 1.10, actual departure time 1.45, causing me to almost miss my connection and definitely causing my bags to miss the connection."
Cons: "Too crowded"
Pros: "Punctuallity"
Cons: "Bording far away, got my cabin luggage and everyone elses into the cellar because ¨it didn´t fit in the plane¨. There was plenty of room, I had breakable stuff in my luggage, didn´t get the chance to choose. No entertainment AT ALL. Confort: no leg space at all. Not an AirFrance plane, subcontracted. Lousy food."
Pros: "The flight was good overall. Friendly crew good attention."
Cons: "There was a delay due to technical dificulties in previous flight. This caused a delay in take off and no AC while waiting in the plane for 40 minutes."
Pros: "I like that they still feed you and provide alcohol for free, even on a 40 min flight (unlike BA)."
Cons: "At one point during the flight I took a video out of my window with my camera, a member of the cabin crew barked at me in French. In bewilderment I asked her in English to repeat herself and she sarcastically repeated what she had said, in French, I asked for her to speak in English (which she had done to me previously on this Paris to London flight) yet again she scolded me in French. I was left absolutely none the wiser and it left a bad taste in my mouth."
Pros: "It was as expected."
Cons: "Boarding was a bit tedious because we had to first board a bus to take us to the airplane."
Cons: "Left a little late for no apparent reason."
Pros: "You get everything you would expect in this kind of flight in term of meals, comfort and entertainment."
Cons: "The flight left half an hour late because of weather conditions. But it is more an airport issue rather than an airline one."

Cons: "Flight was 4 hours delayed"
Pros: "Very old aircraft. Looked extremely run down and many things were broken."
Cons: "No delays"
Pros: "Crew good, plane clean."
Cons: "Seats very cramped."

Cons: "The aircraft: too old! No charging ports, entertainment system horrible. The food was not super."
Pros: "LCY very efficient baggage drop, flight arrived ahead of schedule"
Pros: "Warm welcome, on time and comfortable"
Pros: "Crew was also nice."
Cons: "I had to wait for bus to get the continue flight. The time waiting was so long I could not board the flight and had to rebook to the next possible flight."
Cons: "Was surprised that you have to pay for all drinks. They want 2.50 for a baby can of coke."
Pros: "Flight itself was very smooth, especially the landing. Food was good also, both the chicken and pasta were prepared well. Pasta could have used a little more sauce. Quantities and variety were also good."
Cons: "I still don't understand why airlines don't board from the back to the front. Would make the entire process go much smoother. The bigger the plane the bigger the problem and delay. I don't mind storing a bag under the seat but there's more stuff taking up legroom so it's hard to get the feet comfortable which is important for those longer flights."
Cons: "So out flight from Heathrow to Frankfurt arrived late at the Heathrow airport and, reportedly in a hurry to let us take off, they chose to inconvenience us further by not loading all our luggage. They said on the plane that, if we are missing our luggage, it will come in on the next flight. I don't understand the logic of the decision to not load our luggage to try to save us time."
Pros: "Flight was uneventful (the way it should be) although it was over an hour late leaving LHR. The cabin was clean and in generally in good condition. Leg room was okay for a short flight. Didn't try the onboard cuisine but it looked good in the pictures, although somewhat expensive!"
Cons: "The bag drop at LHR T5 was bad. I was in line for almost 25 mins waiting to use the self-serve system. Almost every one of the 10 or so people in front of me had problems with the system and had to call over a staff member to help. It would have been so much quicker to have the 'old style' way of having check-in staff receiving bags!"
Cons: "Flight delayed by one hour Gate not announced as indicated on flight board When announced only gave about one half hour to make it to gate and board"
Cons: "BA took us onboard, flew us 40 minutes into Frankfurt and they decided there was a mechanical problem and returned back into Heathrow. The next plane did not arrive until 5 hours later, which lead to missing the connection flight. We were asking for updates and nobody knew anything. We asked to be changed to different airline and they could even do that. They did not compensate or pay anything, which is unacceptable. Horrible customer service."
Cons: "Cancelled flight and horrible customer service!"
Pros: "Nice aircraft! Very modern."
Cons: "Late like always no even a free drink of water sad sad"
Pros: "The boarding and crew was nice... no complaints."
Cons: "Did not realize that, at least, water was NOT complimentary ... food & drink had to be paid for. Bummer."
Pros: "The flight kept getting delayed, but made up during flight so I was able to catch my connection in Frankfurt. Very pleased about that."
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 50 minutes and the gate was not available until 30 minutes of departure. Tap water, really?"
Pros: "Entertaiment"
Cons: "The crew could be quite curt at times"
Cons: "We nearly missed the plane due to how closely our flights were scheduled. Then our luggage did not arrive with us our plane. We didnt have time to stop for a snack or water so a small something would have been helpful."
Pros: "The plane didnt crash. I liked that."
Cons: "It was Delayed and no one was notified. I was rushing through the endless mess that is London Heathrow only to find a delayed flight - which worked out for me. I just wish I had known. The flight itself was more than 2 hours and not even a complimentary soda? You have to pay for a coke? I've taken 45 minute flights to vegas that offered complimentary drinks and snacks. Pretty odd."
Pros: "Flight was over all comfortable."
Cons: "No snacks were provided."
Pros: "Customer service."
Cons: "Entertainment need more movies"
Pros: "Security check was quick and easy."
Cons: "The flight left 35 minutes late but arrived on time"
Pros: "The crew were friendly, professional and extremely pleasant."
Cons: "I'm not a fan of the constant PA's during the descent. Playing a video about arrival procedures for an airport is extremely superfluous. Nobody pays attention and you just have to follow the signs when you get there."
Cons: "Rude staff at the airport. Short overlay did not have enough time to get our bags and checkin again that was ridiculous to have to check in again!"
Pros: "Me and my husband were upgraded from world traveler plus to business class, which we are thankful for"
Cons: "We were unable to order special meal online and were told to contact onboard crew for meals. When we contacted them inflight, they said they don't have meals!!! And we were left to starve the whole night, while food was served for all around us. The really shocking thing is none of the crew had the courtesy to offer some snacks or bread. These especially when we were seated in business class!"
Cons: "There was a new born next to me and actually it was difficult to sleep."
Pros: "The flight wasn't as late on arrival as I anticipated it would be."
Cons: "The ground staff were completely useless when it came to actually getting a new flight after missing my earlier flight when I showed up with only 20 minutes to spare and the ground crew left the gate before it actually closed. They then wanted to charge me 500 euros for a replacement flight, in the end Kayak online got me on the same flight for less than 100 euros. The rest of the flight was mediocre. Lufthansa and Virgin do so much of a better job with overall staff on the ground."
Cons: "Flight canceled want able to rebook"
Cons: "At security London Heathrow, it took 30 minutes for them to check 1 bag of ours! Almost didn't make the flight."
Cons: "As a Kenyan Passport Holder living in Canada on a PR status was denied right to travel to Kenya via LHR transit. WHY ? will you help us with our rights what compensation will help to alleviate the pain"
Pros: "Not a very crowded flight. Boarding was efficient and we departed and arrived early. As the flight was short there was no meal service or entertainment."
Cons: "There were no power adapters in the seats."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "Full flight affected leaving time + 20 minute taxi to runway"
Pros: "The flight safety video and the crew were very helpful."
Cons: "No in flight entertainment"
Pros: "Always a good flight out of LCY"
Pros: "Boarding was quick"
Cons: "Lack of communication about delays."
Pros: "Everything was smooth. crew was courteous. Flight was plesant"
Pros: "Overall flight better London to Beirut l"
Cons: "Long wait over"
Cons: "Heathrow connecting gate announced only shortly before flight, thousands of connecting passengers kept in a central holding pen like cattle flight: have to pay even for a cup of water"
Cons: "So, the flight to Frankfurt never happened because of whatever happened with British Airways on 05/27/2017. We waited without information in the airport for over 6 hours and then were told to exit after which it took another 3 to 4 hours to get out of the airport. We were told to find a hotel with no help or voucher - nothing was showing available under $1000 a night, save our receipts for any food we might have, rebook our flight. As we were leaving the airport, we were given water, nothing before that. We received information as we were leaving the airport about our rights for recompense. Fortunately, a Heathrow staff member helped us with finding a hotel that cost about $400. We never were able to get to Frankfurt to see our family there and had to book train tickets to Paris to meet our hotel reservation there two days later. It was a bad situation, handled in a way that caused confusion, fear and unhealthy situations of standing for long periods and I will not be doing business with British Airways in future."
Pros: "Arrived ahead of time, although flight was fully booked, boarding was quick."
Cons: "Nothing, flights to Frankfurt have always gone off on time for me."
Pros: "There should be a special section for babies."
Cons: "Sitting on runway for 3 hrs and then get kicked off without good instruction. This was our 1st trip, so we felt stupid about everything after the flight was cancelled. Oh well. Much smarter now."
Pros: "Great service and experience."
Cons: "The boarding was a little long."
Cons: "I know that I shouldn't be shocked by the continued degradation of the airlines, but there should be a line. To me, a simple glass of water should not be too much to ask."
Pros: "quite nice and friendly staff. many vacant seats and thus much space to seat comfortable"
Cons: "old airplane, kind of run down impression. annoying and not really working touchscreen, lousy choice of movies. Everything had the air of not being organized, we had to change our seats twice without knowing, why. Really poor food compared to any other airline I know. One of the stewards constantly spilled drops of beverages over me, when he was pouring them for me and the passengers around."
Cons: "Delayed twice, switched gates, AND forced to gate check my carry on "because the plane was small" and supposedly they were having everyone check their bags. Except that didn't turn out to be true. Frustrating although baggage claim had bags waiting when we got through customs."
Cons: "The food"
Pros: "I couldn't take the fly. And no body answer! No by the phone, no body on the airport, no body on Facebook, I can't by the web. I need help and no body answer."
Cons: "Pleace call 666 394 865"
Pros: "Yes, it was comfortable and they r nice."
Cons: "Ummmm delayed both flights were delayed, it was annoying"
Pros: "Missed the connection because TAP from Vienna arrrives late. The cre who received us at Lisbon airport was very helpful"
Cons: "TAP being on time and giving a reason why the flight was late"
Cons: "Too cold on plane"
Pros: "Great entertainment selection."
Cons: "I had two flights that day: TAP Portugal: greeters, assistance loading carry-on, fish with potatoes and spinach, glass of wine, pudding, sandwich, carrot cake bite, coffee and a blanket. Jet Blue: water three hours in, (unhealthy) bag of chips."
Pros: "New plane, clean, entertainment system was state of the art."
Cons: "The flight attendants were not very nice. Seemed to not want to be there. Service was nearly not existent."
Pros: "Smooth boarding, good vegetarian food options, helpful and friendly staff, and more legroom than my previous flight."
Cons: "No entertainment"
Pros: "Everything was on time"
Cons: "Lots of hidden fees, horrible customer service, no flight entertainment available, seats were uncomfortable. Definitely would not recommend"
Pros: "A good airline- I will use them again!"
Cons: "A modern airplane properly equipped with padded seats and provisioned with quality food. Charging outlets!!"
Cons: "There was an undisclosed $120 baggage fee. The food was horrible and made me sick. We left nearly two hours late."
Pros: "crew was so very helpful. Food was surprisingly good"
Cons: "Bad experience with charged"
Cons: "Flight delay"
Pros: "Food was good, but no champagne offered. The attendants were nice, though."
Cons: "It was not a business class at all. I was put in the same big bus together with econom class passengers. There was not supposed to be any business class in this airplane, since chairs are all the same and not comfortable. No entertainment of any kind at all. It's a waste of money."
Pros: "Good and entertainment options in executive class."
Cons: "Flight departed LIS late due to a couple of passengers. Definetly not the airline's fault."
Pros: "It was a very short flight, so non-reclining seats were not a problem. They also seemed a nice distance from the seat in front, so there was no problem of having the person in front basically in your lap."
Cons: "They handed out a small biscuit which made me expect water or coffee to have with it. This is not the case."
Pros: "Free food and drinks. Pillow and blanket and ear buds all ready on each seat! More spacious seating."
Cons: "No indication booking was discounted flight on kayak website! Charges for baggage very , very high!. Very bad border crossing as we waited in line for a simple passport stamp for 3 hours!!!!!!"
Pros: "Good food serving times."
Cons: "The hospitality of the airline crew is very poor as they are extremely rude to their customers. The planes I flew on were very out of date and not comfortable for international travel. I have flown on many airlines, but these planes were by far the worst. Cheap price, for a reason. The seats didn't recline, the food was terrible, no options were given for food, and the movies were pre-picked. No one had a choice in what they watched. Very outdated. I had 2.5 hours to board my connecting flight and they caused me to miss it. As I waited in the customs line entering Lisbon, I asked a TAP representative if I'd have to get out of the line up and go right through as my flight left at 2:10 pm. They said you will make it, stay in line. I get near the front of the line 2 hours later... hundreds of people were in this line and they only had 2/10 customs agents available!!! I ask another representative how far my gate is since my flight leaves in 30 min and she told me "no you missed it. but don't worry others will be missing it too". So no I did not miss it, you caused me to miss it cause I already asked if I would and you people told me no. I run to the gate, which has now changed to the other end of the airport, so I run to that gate and it is 10 min before the flight is to take off. I ask the desk agent at the gate and he tells me the flight has already left. Others had missed it too due to the insane customs line up. So the plane left 20 mins earlier than scheduled with only half it's passengers..... unbelievable!!! When I went to the service desk they did not show any sympathy or apologetic behaviours whatsoever."
Pros: "No issues or service challenges I could think of. Friendly. Helpful."
Cons: "Seats were a bit hard and not a lot of legroom. But. Not unexpected for the section/price. Shorter flight made this bearable. Interior looked dated. Though, it is an A319."
Pros: "They broke my bag, it took them over 3 months to answer my complaint and then they said that the Manufacturer would take care of it. On top of that they made me pay to check on my bag for each flight, including connections, and they didn't even reimburse that"
Pros: "The plan was clean, newer, and comfortable. If you sit towards the front of the plane you end up sitting in economy plus for the economy price."
Cons: "No entertainment, but the flight were short enough it wasn't really a problem. With downloadable Netflix and Prime, that isn't a problem anymore."
Cons: "The sound for the movies did not work at my seat or my wife's seat."
Pros: "The check in was smooth and boarding was quick"
Cons: "We had problems with TAP up front related to baggage fares and them keeping the $85 I paid for my son who is 2 meters tall to be in an exit row and then assigned to a different seat. He was miserable for almost seven hours."
Pros: "Staff good very pleasant. Entertainment good."
Cons: "Bit late into Lisbon and luggage left behind."
Pros: "Left on time, arrived early. Food and snacks were good. Very attentive crew."
Cons: "Can't think of anything."
Cons: "As I keep metioning....you guys need to be more generous with the Victoria program. I fly you guys a minimum of 7 or 8 times a year, plus numerous partner flights, and what do I get? no free upgrades, 60,000 miles to become gold etc etc"
Pros: "We were late because of delay of the first part of our fly : Zurich - Lisbon, but the fly Lisbon- NewYork waited for us."
Cons: "Our TV didn't work. There is not possibility to charge phone on the fly."
Pros: "Seats are fine. Flight was on time."
Cons: "Food was bad. Not much water given. No snacks between meals. Old entertainment system."
Pros: "Great comfy seats, checking was a breeze and the staff were friendly"
Cons: "No entertainment and I thought there should have been a little more food. What they did provide was good just a little shy on the quantity. INternational flight with no free bags."
Pros: "Honestly I didn't like anything because before I boarded , I was charged for all my luggage . They said that tap changed there policy , how I suppose to know ? Why didn't it say anything while purchasing a ticket"
Cons: "I was charged for my 3 luggage . It's not fair . I still have the invoice , before ibbook the ticket it said that you get free luggage ."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable in economy although no one is ever happy with how little they recline, crew was friendly and helpful. Entertainment selection was larger than most airlines I've flown on."
Cons: "Flight left Toronto at midnight, the crew served a meal and it was about 2 hours after departure that the cabin lights were finally turned off. On an overnight, overseas flight, turn off the lights and service breakfast with a noon arrival like all the flights I've taken to London do."
Pros: "Cute meal already waiting for us at the seat when boarded"
Pros: "Everyone was friendly , there were sandwiches passed out and drinks which was great!"
Cons: "The chairs were small and we didn't have very much legroom"
Pros: "The flights was conducted safely and professionally."
Cons: "Minimal legeoom on the Airbus A319; several inches less than on the next TAP leg to BCN."
Pros: "Price"
Cons: "First flight was delayed by just a half an hour and we arrived in Portugal. We had a connecting flight to AMS with also TAP and had a two hour window to make the next flight with the same company (TAP). We were in line for passport and then security and talked to several TAP employees and they said we would be have time and wouldn't have a problem catching the second flight. Well, we got through the lines with 30 min before our next flight and they wouldn't let us on. Customer service and organization of the airline is really poor. The aircraft had minimal room and no entertainment. We got on our next flight five hours later and all they gave us was a $10 food voucher. So poorly managed."
Pros: "Economy/coach leg room was better than expected"
Cons: "shuttle bus delayed once passengers had boarded for transfer to plane and delayed release to plane once we arrived at the plane, perhaps due to a plane repair, but wasn't told what the issue was before boarding"
Cons: "Flight left without us"
Pros: "The staff was very nice. Only bad incident was the misinformation on getting the D Tax. We went early to the airport to do it but could not get it because of erroneous information form the check in agent."
Cons: "When we checked our bags the check in agent did not let us take out bags after getting the boarding pass so we could get the D Tax refund at Customs. She said it was not necessary. She was wrong. French customs wanted to see the merchandise which we no longer had. When we complained at TAP we were told do it in Lisbon. Again in Lisbon we could not get the D tax because that custom agent wanted to see the merchandise which was being transferred to our Lisbon - Newark flight. We loss refunds of over $400. This problem ruined a perfect trip."
Pros: "Was able to sleep most of the flight and we took off on time"
Cons: "Checking a bag took almost an hour."
Cons: "Passenger attention not he best"
Pros: "Crew very helpful and friendly"
Cons: "Slow boarding; food"
Pros: "Andrera Araijo was extremely friendly, attentive and energetic. She smiled through out the entire flight. Whether she was attending to me or a fellow passenger it was all smiles. She definitely made smile. God bless you Andrera!"
Pros: "The plane had a helpful crew, the plane was modern in that they had a usb charger and plugs for both US and European voltages and there was plenty of space to relax in during my flight."
Pros: "The service they provided us reminded us of how airlines used to treat their customers in the past. From the customer service to the services provided and the legroom on the flight -- everything was more than what we expected and we would consider flying TAP Portugal again."
Pros: "Easy check in and bag handling"
Cons: "N/a"
Cons: "Paid for a seat with extra legroom because I'm 6'4". Was given a different seat and still charged."
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "Check in desk people in Lisbon were very obnoxious and rude."
Pros: "The flight was mostly ok minus squeezing in seats. Crew was delightful. Delay lowered my rating."
Cons: "Severe delay. Almost missed connection."
Cons: "We were told that we wouldn't miss our connection, but we did and had to wait the whole day for the next flight plus stay the night in Frankfort before going to our final destination."

It's Happy Hour at The Cocktail Club Birmingham with weekly setlist of promotions
The Cocktail Club, formerly known as London Cocktail Club, has opened its 16th and biggest site to date on Temple Street in the city centre. Designed by award-winning, British interior designer Matthew Williamson, who is known predominantly for his unique use of pattern and colour.
Williamson has divided the space into 3 unique bars. The entrance features Art Deco-style wallpaper from London design house Divine Savages, an amber Murano chandelier from lighting specialist Renaissance London and a mirror sourced by design studio Retrovius.
The first of the three bars, The Temple Bar, holds a wooden cabana and a painting by German illustrator Olaf Hajek.
The Eden Bar features hanging gardens, deep green tones, wallpaper from Divine Savages and a 1970s London Zoo cheetah centrepiece which is lit inside and hung above a seven metre-long bar.
For the intimate Star Bar, Matthew has used his own star-studded Celestia wallpaper, featuring midnight blue velvet tones and touches of antique mirror and golden brass.
Matthew Williamson said,
I've loved every minute of working on this project. From a raw shell of a space to the glamorous finished interior, it's been hard work but a great creative process. Working with The Cocktail Club has been a pleasure and I'm really proud of the results. My brief was to respect their well-known brand identity and philosophy whilst injecting some of my own personal interior design style. I hope I've struck the right balance and the bar becomes a much loved hot spot in such a vibrant city.
The bar's concept was initially conceived by John James 'JJ' Goodman and James Hopkins. JJ was crowned the winner of the World's Best Bartender award at the 2008 Cocktail World Cup. After the pair won the television competition 'The Restaurant' in 2009, they founded their first site on Goodge Street. A further eight sites were opened in London across the following eight years, with their first regional expansion opening in Bristol in 2018.
Goodman and Hopkins set out to create a collection of bars wherein customers could experience best-in-class cocktails within exciting, 'theatrical' environments. Positioning themselves as 'the ultimate party bar', The Cocktail Club aims to give customers a wild night out.
The new flagship venue is their biggest to date with a capacity of 450, set across two floors and three rooms. The bar's 'World's Hottest Happy Hour' runs seven days a week, offering 2-4-1 on every drink until 8pm daily. Party packages are also available, with guests able to book cocktail masterclasses alongside private room and venue hire. As well as an 'outrageous' 00's Bottomless Brunch which will run every Saturday daytime, offering guests the 'ultimate weekend party' with a jam-packed day of 'freaky throwbacks, mega mischief and all-round f*ckery'.
JJ Goodman, co-founder of The Cocktail Club, said,
It's safe to say I'm so excited to finally be launching The Cocktail Club in my hometown of Birmingham. Not only is it our biggest site to date but our collaboration with Matthew Williamson is sure to make it stand out even more. The Cocktail Club is all about giving guests a good time and a wild night out. Our mantra is 'welcome to the party', and we're certain we can deliver this to Birmingham in full!
The Cocktail Club Birmingham is now open.

Bury the Living
Tue, 10/01/2019 - 18:03 — mashugenah
The Berlin Wall has fallen, signalling the end of the Cold War, of spies, secrets, and the threat of totalitarianism. It is a time to build bridges and to rebuild the world. As with charity, the best rebuilding begins at home, and to rebuild you must destroy.
This is a scenario about finding a way to remove the tumour growing in the heart of The Establishment and throwing that baby out - without losing the bathwater. The scenario is likely to play out as a series of raids and confrontations, and for sure, not everyone is getting out alive or in one piece.
The game is inspired by the masers of Cold War action, Robert Ludlum and Ian Fleming*, but this being a roleplaying game, of course there's more going on than checking the slide on a Beretta or setting the timers to the same six minutes you always use.
* As unproblematic as I can make his style of action anyway.
Two can keep a secret
The Berlin Wall has fallen, signalling the end of the Cold War, of spies, secrets, and the threat of totalitarianism. It is a time to build bridges and to rebuild the world, but there are plenty of secrets left to grow anew in the ashes of burned spies. Now you know the truth, you've got to either disappear forever, or fight.
This is a scenario about what spies do when they finally learn a secret they can't keep, can't bury, and can't forget. Can they use what they know to serve their country, or will they be destroyed for the Greater Good? Depending on the approach taken, this could be a tense chamber piece of trust, or a more free-wheeling chain of investigation to climb the ladder of lies.
The game is inspired by the masters of Cold War paranoia and moral ambivalence, Graham Greene, Frederick Forsyth and John le Carre, but this being a roleplaying, of course there's more going on than sweating through confidential files and breaking alibis.
The Rabbit Snare
The Berlin Wall has fallen, signalling the end of the Cold War, of spies, secrets, and the threat of totalitarianism. It is a time to build bridges and to rebuild the world. But there is freedom, and there's freedom: when a junior government minister begins to behave erratically and take sudden trips abroad, questions must be asked. Asking questions is your business.
This is a scenario about a covert mission behind the fallen drapery of communism to trail a government minister and determine whether they're merely guilty of political crimes, or something more serious. Infiltrate, find the truth, and exfiltrate. Depending on the approach taken, this could run as something between a heist, a snatch-job, and an assassination. It's fairly certain not everyone makes it out of this one alive.
The game is inspired by the masters of Cold War infiltration, Frederick Forsyth and Len Deighton, but this being a roleplaying, of course there's more going on than trench-coats trudging through the snow and sweating in hidden listening posts.

Quandos Vorn must Die!
A game of vengeance sought sought between the stars, with peculiar cultures and wry humor inspired by the novels of Jack Vance:
Driven heroes will work against a sinister conspiracy as they close upon their goal: the destruction of their nemesis Quandos Vorn!
Vorn's name is feared throughout the Alastor cluster, but the vengeance-seekers each nurture a personal dream of cutting him down. Drawn together by chance or design, they may finally achieve their goal!
They know that his agent is present at the hussade field, but what is his game? How will the agent lead them to Vorn? And what if Quandos Vorn himself has come to watch his handiwork, but should pass unrecognised? It must not be so!
NB This game uses the DERPG Tagline system: players will be rewarded when they integrate specific witty comments into their banter.

Incident at Talos
Mon, 08/05/2013 - 12:50 — binder
Marcus Bone
Talos IV, the most advanced space station in this region of the Bleed, faces destruction.
Karia Darsell, intergalactic terrorist and unstoppable assassin has posted a warning - Talos IV and everyone onboard will be destroyed unless her demands are met in the next 24 hours. The problem is no one knows exactly what those demands are...
So it is up to our Heroes, the Lazers (the region's freelance police), to not only stop this terrorist threat, but also find out who or where Karia is hiding, and what has made her so angry.
This adventure is a science fiction game using the Ashen Stars (GUMSHOE) system. Combining action and investigation it is set-up as a race against time, in which the character's actions will determine whether or not the space station is saved and just who might survive. It would best suit players wanting a challenging investigative (GUMSHOE at its heart is a investigation game) roleplaying experience where they will have to make hard choices and difficult decisions.

Operation Thundering Faith
Mr Verity requires your attendance...
And so it begins again, another mission for the Ordo Veritatis (a secret organisation dedicated to the protection of humanity and the destruction of Outer Dark Entities). In this operation the characters find themselves called into investigate the apparent suicide of a high school student, who has seemingly, almost overnight, developed a vestigial twin.
Facing a hostile town, reluctant witnesses and a hidden evil, the operatives are in a race against time to prevent the permanent destruction of the membrane that protects reality from the horrors of beyond.
The Esoterrorist (2nd Edition) is a modern day conspiracy horror game using the GUMSHOE system. This adventure is one of investigation, discovery and drama, and would best suit players looking for a hard hitting, plot driven, game session (i.e. more SVU/Criminal Intent than Action/Adventure). Please note that this plot includes some adult themes, although the depth to which these are explored will be left up to the players to decide during play.

Woman who accuses Daniel Alves fears having her identity revealed, says newspaper
The 23-year-old woman who accuses Daniel Alves of sexually assaulting her in a Barcelona nightclub expressed concern during her testimony that her identity would be exposed. The information is from the Spanish newspaper El Periódico.
The young woman would be afraid of having her name or personal data revealed.
It is protected by Spanish legislation, which prohibits the disclosure or publication of information or photos that could result in the identification of the victim.
The complainant has already refused the right to receive compensation in case of conviction of the player. According to the press in Spain, it only aims to "do justice and ensure that he serves prison terms".
understand the case
How to report sexual violence
Victims of sexual violence do not need to register a police report to receive medical and psychological care in the public health system, but the forensic examination can only be carried out with the police report in hand. The examination can point to evidence that helps in the prosecution during a judicial process, and can be done at any time after the crime. But since this is evidence that can disappear, if done, it is recommended that it be as close as possible to the date of the crime.
In flagrant cases of sexual violence, the Military Police's 190 number is the best number to call and report the aggression. Military police officers on patrol can also be called. Ligue 180 also receives complaints, but not cases in the act, of domestic violence, in addition to guiding and forwarding the best reception service in the victim's city. The service can also be activated via WhatsApp (61) 99656-5008.
Legally, rape victims can go to any hospital with gynecology and obstetrics services to take medication to prevent sexually transmitted infections, receive psychological care and legally terminate the pregnancy. In practice, not all hospitals provide care. For abortion, check out on this site the units that really help rape victims.

Blue Sky Cola was one of the first 'colas' we've run across in a LONG LONG LONG (long!) time that had any HINT of the origins in it – namely the cola nut. Now, Blue Sky Cola has 'cola nut flavoring' and we're not sure EXACTLY what that means, but the important thing is that it tasted like what we thought it should taste like!
We were very happy with the cola-y flavor of this soda and will be getting more of it next time we find it on the grocery shelves. Now, it doesn't have any caffeine, and it doesn't have any phosphoric acid, and perhaps it's this lacking combination that gives the texture of this drink a 'softer' feel than coke/pepsi or even Jones cola, which are sharper in the mouth. Still, the 'softer' feel doesn't detract at all from the experience. So we can heartily recommend Blue Sky Cola – they also have a root beer and maybe some other varieties. In any case, we were just very happy to find a locally available cola made with much tastier CANE SUGAR (Jones cola doesn't seem to be in stores in Upstate NY yet – alas!) instead of high fructose corn syrup. Go Blue Sky!


Working in a state-of-the-art program lab outfitted with seven exam stations, students hone their chairside skills by practicing on dental mannequins and each other. They also perform lab duties such as taking impressions, pouring models, trimming casts and making temporary crowns. Later students participate in clinical training at local dental practices and upperclassmen are encouraged to secure internship or co-op positions.
Hands-on training is augmented by instruction on anatomy, pharmacology and physiology. Students also explore dental specialties including oral surgery and pedodontics. Learning to use Eaglesoft, a popular dentist practice management software, is an important element of the program, too.


A woman who is completely paralyzed below the neck has regained the ability to reach out and interact with the world around her thanks to the most advanced brain-computer interface for operating a robotic arm so far.
In February, surgeons implanted two four-millimeter-by-four-millimeter electrode arrays into the participant's motor cortex, the region of the brain that initiates movements. Each chip has 96 electrodes and is wired through the skull to a computer that translates her thoughts into signals for the robotic arm. The work, performed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, is reported in the latest issue of The Lancet.
Mind control: Jan Scheuermann drives a robotic prosthetic limb with her thoughts, which are recorded by electrodes in her brain and then interpreted by a computer.
The work is the latest advance to show how brain-controlled interface technology can restore some movement to quadriplegics. In May of this year, researchers at Brown University described how a paralyzed patient could use a robotic limb to perform basic tasks, including giving herself a drink of coffee (see "Brain Chip Helps Quadriplegics Move Robotic Arms with Their Thoughts"). The participant in the new study has twice as many electrodes in her brain as the woman in the Brown study and can demonstrate more complex hand movements with her robotic limb.
"We are reproducing more of a natural and realistic movement of the arm and hand," says Andrew Schwartz, a neuroscientist at the University of Pittsburgh and the senior author on the study.
Some experts, however, caution that it's hard to draw conclusions about the technology's potential from a single case.
Miguel Nicolelis, a brain-machine interface researcher at Duke University, notes that recording from more neurons makes it possible to improve precision and complexity in the movements of connected devices. However, he adds that it is hard to say just how many neurons the Pittsburgh team was actually recording from. "There is little documentation of the brain signal," says Nicolelis of the Lancet paper describing the work. "It would be really great if they had reached the 200-neuron mark, but there appears to be no documentation of that," he says.
By the second day of use, the participant was able to move the arm in three dimensions on her own. With practice, she was able to move cubes and other objects around a table and even pick up a two-pound rock. The woman continues to work with the researchers. She recently was able to pick up a piece of chocolate and feed herself, says Schwartz.
Like a spinal cord, the robotic arm used in the study has some ability to control its own movement. Years of study in primates on how the motor cortex coördinates hand movements helped the team develop the technology that could translate the participant's thoughts in more "fluid and natural" movements, says Grégoire Courtine, a neuroscientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne in Switzerland.
"When animals move, they follow certain sets of rules, and it turns out we can pick that up in the neural signals that we record from the motor cortex," says Schwartz.
The arm, which was developed under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract, has 17 motors that control 26 joints in what is the most sophisticated artificial limb system in the world. "The arm was designed to be able to mimic a human limb," says Michael McLoughlin, program manager for the Modular Prosthetic Limb project, which is based at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. The Johns Hopkins team has built six of the robotic limbs that are in use by different research groups in the U.S., says McLoughlin.
A crucial next step for the Pittsburgh team will be incorporating sensory feedback into the prosthetic. The arm has over 100 sensors, says McLoughlin, capable of detecting vibration, pressure, temperature, and more. The team is also working on developing a wireless version of the brain-machine interface so that participants do not have to have electronics sticking out of their heads.
The researchers also hope to recruit more participants to work with the prosthetic, and to continue to improve the technology so that one day the "laboratory oddity can be translated into therapeutic use," says Schwartz.

Write out pattern on paper.
Gather supplies and string beads on wire according to the pattern.
That's it. To me I'm just problem solving, figuring out the pieces of the puzzle along the way. My approach to making is logical, systematic, and patterned.
I've always seen creativity as something free-form, unconstrained, and inspired. An expression of a concept, a feeling, or the creator's soul.
To me, my approach to making jewelry is the opposite of creativity. It's left-brain vs. right. It's logical vs. artistic.
However, what I'm starting to realize is that no matter my process, the finished work is perceived as something creative. At shows people have said to me the exact same thing I've said to others, "I wish I was creative like you." My instant reaction is to start explaining how I'm just solving a problem. To discount the fact that they've just called my work creative or me an artist. It makes me uncomfortable. It doesn't feel like the truth. But after hearing the same thing from so many over the last few months, I'm starting to wonder. Is my work creative? Am I an artist?
According to this little Einstein quote, the answer may be yes.

Q: Simple jquery ajax request syntax error I have a simple ajax request function and theres some syntax error im missing. Just need a second pair of eyes.. thanks
    function GetPaginationPage(array) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php",
            data: array,
            success: function(data){ function (data) {
            $('.contestants_list').append(data);
        }};
            });
    };

A: Try this
function GetPaginationPage(array) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php",
        data: array,
        success: function(data) {$('.contestants_list').append(data);}
    });
};

A: The problem would be that you're rewrapped the function of the success envent, also you add a semicolon at the end of the function
Do remove the two function in the success event and the semicolon at the end, should look like this
$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php",
   data: array,
   success: function(data) {
     $('.contestants_list').append(data);
   }
});

Notes
A tip when you have this troubles uses http://jsfiddle.net/ and test your javascript code uising the button JsLint to check for errors

A: You have function(data) twice for some reason, change it to this instead:
function GetPaginationPage(array) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php",
            data: array,
            success: function(data){
                $('.contestants_list').append(data);
            }
        });
};

Hope this helps

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 Review
Ashton T. Livingston, Entertainment Editor
Bigger, personal, and great! But is it as good as the first? 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' is fun for everyone! It has elevated the comedy of the first film and expands the marvel universe! I have little to no problems with this film. Its extremely fun! But, towards the third act the film begins to drag on. Our characters are placed with "Let's try this!" failure "now lets try this!" and repeat for about three times. Seeing our characters fail can be a good change but, if it's again and again it doesn't feel quite right. Marvel movies have always had trouble with the third act so by now, we're used to this. That and some characters who don't really need to show up past the first act are my only problem. The soundtrack in this one is just as good as the first! It goes with the emotion of each scene and the words of each song describe each character's emotions of anger, loss, and love.
SPOILERS SECTION
Ego , Peter Quill/ star-Lord's dad, to many people's surprise is the villain of the film. For fans of the fantastic four comic books this was no surprise considering he's a villain they face him several times. In this film Ego is one of marvel's better villains. The film spends a good deal of time developing his character and motives. Yondu is also a great character in this film. He brings heart, laughs, and eventually tears. This film deals I guess kind of with adoption? I don't know? But, it deals with daddy issues. Yondu being peter's father figure and helping him along the way.
END OF SPOILERS
This film I believe in better in a lot of ways than the first. But, this is simply because of how surprisingly good the first film was! If this was the first people would have fallen in love with it just as hard. I do love this film but it's just not a surprise like the first. 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' gets a B.

You can make anyone cry very easily but making someone laugh is the most difficult thing, and once you gain perfection in it there is no looking back.
Born on 14 August 1957 as John Prakash Rao Janumala, Johny Lever is known for his perfect comic timing and evergreen funny dialogues in the Indian film industry.
Johnny was born in Prakasam, Andhra Pradesh and was brought up in Mumbai's King's Circle area popularly known as Dharavi. His father was an operator in Hindustan Lever Ltd. His mother tongue is Telugu and he is the eldest in the family consisting of three sisters and two brothers.
He did his schooling from Andhra education society English High School till class 7th. He was unable to continue his studies due to financial crisis. He started doing odd jobs for survival. Johnny started imitating Bollywood stars in the streets of Mumbai.
During a Hindustan Lever Limited company function, he mimicked a few senior officers, and from that day on, the workers said he was not John Rao but was Johnny Lever. When he later joined the film industry, he decided to keep the name.
Johnny started doing stand up comedy in musical shows and after earning fame, joined the group of Kalyanji-Anandji, a legendary music direction duo. Even before joining Hindustan Lever, he was giving stage performances. Because of his growing absenteeism and since he was earning well from stage shows, he quit HLL in the year 1981. He did a lot of shows and world tours with them, one of his first big tours being with Amitabh Bachchan in 1982. At one of his shows, actor Sunil Dutt noticed his talent and potential and offered him his first movie Dard Ka Rishta.
During this period, he also did a few commercials for Kachua chhap incense, directed by Shekhar Kapur. In 1986, he performed in a charity show called "Hope 86", in front of members of the Hindi film industry as a filler and was loved by the audience. His talent was recognized, which resulted in producer Gul Anand offering him the film Jalwa, alongside Naseeruddin Shah.
He got his first break in the year 1984 with Tum Par Hum Qurban. Till now he has acted in around 300 films. He is the president of MAAM (Mimicry Artist Association Mumbai), and has done thousands of live shows all over the world.
In 1998, Johnny was convicted and sentenced to seven days imprisonment for disrespecting the Indian National Anthem, constitution and the flag at a private function hosted by Anees Ibrahim Kaskar, brother of global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, head of the infamous D-Company. However, he was relieved of all charges subsequently.

One 20-Year-Old's Determination to Change His Journey with a Rare, Debilitating Disease
Brandpoint BPT
(BPT) – Imagine your body wasn't able to control your muscles, and over time you experienced more weakness and a loss of strength. That's what was happening to William Johnson, now a college sophomore living with a rare disease — called spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA. Three years ago, advances in science helped change the treatment options for people with SMA.
Heidi and Tripp Johnson, William's parents, first started to notice differences between his development and their other two children shortly after he was born. At the check-up for his first birthday, a neurologist performed an exam and diagnosed William with Type 2 SMA. At the time, there were no treatment options available and doctors explained to the Johnsons that William likely wouldn't live beyond his 10th birthday. The reality for the Johnson family would thankfully turn out to be very different.
"When we got the diagnosis, we were devastated. We knew that William's life was going to be different, but as parents, we were going to do all we could to never let him feel like SMA defined him," Heidi says.
SMA, is a debilitating disease that affects approximately 9,000 people in the U.S. In its most severe form, the symptoms start right after birth and can be life-threatening. There are other forms of SMA where symptoms start anywhere from childhood to adulthood and have different degrees of severity. While the specific type of SMA and the severity of motor function decline may vary among individuals, everyone with SMA experiences progressive muscle weakness.
Growing up, William coped with his disease and moved forward with his life, even though his mobility was limited. He relied on a power wheelchair to help him get around. Each birthday marked another year of achievement for the Johnson family, and while William celebrated his 10th birthday, the family also noticed that he was losing strength.
In December 2016, when the Johnsons heard the news that the first treatment for SMA, SPINRAZA® (nusinersen), had been approved to treat infants, children and adults with SMA, they were determined to start treatment as soon as possible.
Shortly after his high school graduation, William received his first dose of the therapy, with a goal to help maintain his motor functions. "It was the moment we had been dreaming of for a long time. The approval of SPINRAZA meant there was a treatment option for William," Heidi shares. That fall, with the support of his family, William started college. There are students there who take shifts to help care for William, allowing him to live a college experience without his parents having to be onsite.
More than two years after starting treatment, William is continuing to receive SPINRAZA, which is administered intrathecally every four months, to help treat his SMA. He visits his doctor every few months to monitor his SMA and check for potential side effects of treatment with blood and urine tests. Common side effects include lower respiratory infection, fever, constipation, headache, vomiting, and back pain (see below for more information).
"Just the other day, when I noticed he opened the door by himself, I cried. Each little victory is a step forward," Heidi shares.
As the youngest child in his family, William has always looked up to his siblings, noting, "I look at the things my siblings are doing and say 'sure, why not, I can find my own way to do that.'"
William shares the family's obsession with sports, a passion for competition and drive for success. At 11 years old, he was introduced to powerchair soccer and was immediately a natural. Now, in addition to playing power soccer, William is also a manager of multiple sports programs and his college soccer team. "He doesn't let SMA get in the way of doing the things he loves and along the way, he inspires people of all ages to do the same," Heidi adds.
William hopes to inspire other adults with SMA and encourage them not to feel defined or limited by their disease. "After 20 years, I've realized that, yes, SMA is a debilitating disease that affects everyone differently, but I feel like I have a very full life ahead of me. Given the advances in treatment, I think it is important for adults with SMA to speak with their physician to learn about treatment options like SPINRAZA and advocate for their care."
SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) is a prescription medicine used to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in pediatric and adult patients.
Increased risk of bleeding complications has been observed after administration of similar medicines. Your healthcare provider should perform blood tests before you start treatment with SPINRAZA and before each dose to monitor for signs of these risks. Seek medical attention if unexpected bleeding occurs.
Increased risk of kidney damage, including potentially fatal acute inflammation of the kidney, has been observed after administration of similar medicines. Your healthcare provider should perform urine testing before you start treatment with SPINRAZA and before each dose to monitor for signs of this risk.
The most common side effects of SPINRAZA include lower respiratory infection, fever, constipation, headache, vomiting, back pain, and post-lumbar puncture syndrome.
These are not all of the possible side effects of SPINRAZA. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Before taking SPINRAZA, tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
