Mexico, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan have all been awesome. HK used to be great too! My worst experience ever .. it is true .. I had with Air New Zealand .. I had payed extra for more legroom and was sitting at the emergency exit when just before take off a stewardess came and told me i had to move to a different seat as i as a man was not allowed to sit next to a teenager. First they basically tell you they think youre a pedophile, then i only got a normal seat and no refund on that, and then on top of it all my luggage never arrived at the destination and it took another full day at that airport to get that documented and file for some, tiny compensation of only around 150 NZD for the total loss of my luggage, which was worth like at least 20x that.

In Norway a public bus driver I asked for directions to my hostel once took a detour between two bus stops and dropped me right in front of that hostel and the bus was still on time afterwards. Awesome hospitality!

@BalkanMode I had the same experience in the US quite often .. I think it probably depends more on the establishment and we just were in bad luck

@BalkanMode Never had that experience myself. What are those supposedly great areas in the US? Certainly not big cities like NYC, Chicago or Boston.

@mynamename5172 If I would value costumer service myself I would only stay in East or South East Asia. Thats where it easily is the best.

@BalkanMode I live in Europe and on the whole find it comparable to the US .. in some areas a lot worse (opening hours), in others a lot better (banks, airlines, beaurocracy).

@irememberthat1time US banks, airlines .. all the large corportations have extremely shite service ..
