Pros: "Food was delicious, consistent timely service and excellent entertainment options onboard. The flight was an hour early! Pros: "Amenities" Cons: "Bed was incredibly uncomfortable in first class. It was like sleeping on the floor. People talking loudly in the bar late into the night, which made it even harder to sleep.
Pros: "Top glass airline" Cons: "I lake food and good service crew". Pros: "Although we were badly delayed the cabin service was excellent in every way. Good meal , cheerful staff and well turned out. Cons: "I did not like the fact that my seat was between 2 small children that belonged to a family sitting behind me. It was ridiculous to put a stranger on a 10 hour flight with a 3yrar old on one side and a 5 year old on the other".
Pros: "The crew and food were excellent. A little more space between seats would be appreciated. The entertainment equipment was not intuitive or easy to operate.
I still feel the airline did a great job getting us to London on-time and a pleasant flight. Pros: "Overall comfortable journey" Cons: "No option to book food option 24 hours before as could check in could not been done earlier than 24 hours before flight. I logged exactly 24 hrs before filled in details which took a few minutes by that time said too late to book special meal. Cons: "Virgin Atlantic continues to give great service. Their lounges are way above all other airline lounges.
It is difficult to get well prepared and fresh fish in lounges, but Virgin Atlantic knows how to do it. Cons: "It was terribly late. No one had a clue on when flight would depart. Pros: "The entertainment selection was good, though I didn't need to see the blurb about having vloggers available before every movie. One of the very few airlines to use boarding by rows, which speeds up the boarding process. The crew were not very attentive: they completely missed me while I was waving the rubbish on their collection rounds.
In the end I had to dump it myself in the toilet bins. The PA system is too loud compared to the rest of the entertainment, had to remove the headphones for each one of them.
Pros: "Check in was very smooth with very friendly staff. On board crew was very welcoming and service was excellent. Pros: "Even it was a hrs flight, I had been my best flight ever in a long flight.
Virgin really exeeced my expectations. Pros: "food was good, and tvs in the seats. Pros: "Good entertainment, food and in-flight crew" Cons: "Because this flight was delayed it was a miracle involving running til my throat literally bled that I made my connection.
Ground crew could not have been less helpful - even to my friend who they knew was trying to get home to attend a family funeral. Pros: "Crew" Cons: "A plane from ? No entertainment center! Pros: "From the check in to the service on board was very good. Staff were polite and respectful.
There did not serve bread with the meal". Pros: "I liked that the boarding went really fast and the staff at the JFK airport was super nice and helpful. The sits were very uncomfortable and the food didn't have any taste.
Pros: "A large selection of movies, shows and music to choose from. Flight crews were attentive and friendly. Pros: "Good notification re a 30 Minute delay. Obtaining board passes was a breeze and love where I can save the passes to my wallet on my mobile device. Flight crews were helpful, cheerful and professional. Pros: "I felt that they were very thoughtful about the fact that it was a long flight.
We got two small meals, which was perfect, and even a little gift bag with a sleep mask and toothbrush and such in it. These were just a couple of the many nice touches included in the flight. This was fine in most cases, but it meant I could not watch videos that had subtitles.
Not a big deal but possibly worth fixing. Pros: "first time I flew VirginAtlantic. Heard so many good things about it. It fact even our Uber driver was praising the airline on our way to the airport.
But once onboard: - poor food I mean 'survival kit' style - entertainment station was not working - games feel like 20 years old - design heavy red now looks dated and suffocating - hostesses are more focused on their hairstyle than their customers" Cons: "Back to Air France next time!
Pros: "Food" Cons: "Seat reclining happens even during meal time and landing! I had to ask crew to get passenger in front to put seat back upright during meal time!!! Crew should've noticed themselves and ask the passenger without my prompting!! So annoyed!! I complained to VA too". If I wanted to eat, I wouldn't have a sleeping mask on my face, or be asleep! Plus, upper class and premium economy didn't board first. Pros: "Genuinely pleasant cabin crew, good service, good food.
Turning the seat into a lay flat bed and returning it seat at the end of the flight takes some effort--not the simplest of processes. I'm not tall, but my feet protruded into the aisle so I was being disturbed whilst sleeping. Seat is also quite narrow--feels quite claustrophobic when sleeping. Pros: "Still a more pleasant experience than BA but others have overtaken.
Crew make a difference though. Pros: "New Dreamliner aircraft was very comfortable with loads of leg room for a tall person like myself at 1. Fortunately I had an extra blanket which I could wrap over my head. Pros: "The boarding and the overall flight experience was quite good. Overall, the movie options could have had more variety. Pros: "Smiling and helpful staff Great FREE food and drinks good movies Free goodie bag of travel goods, blanket, pillow etc Free candy for landing descent" Cons: "Leg room is a little tight".
Pros: "First off,the staff is awesome. From the check in people to the flight attendants The entertainment was up to date and the safety video was awesome.. Great conditions for economy class. I give them a 5 star rating I only wish they would do more flights to other countries overseas Pros: "The crew,food and entertainment the food has improved, the ground and flight staffs was very pleasant and helpful" Cons: "We were flying to Miami, then into a cruise,weighs restrictions,we were find a dollars for a couple more kg, we were on holiday for nearly three weeks".
Pros: "The crew left my breakfast in the sear next to me because I was asleep unfortunately i didn't notice till I started to disembark Pros: "Everything except the plane itself" Cons: "Plane cramped". Pros: "We were late arriving at the airport and the checkin desk people were SO nice putting us through.
Otherwise we never would have made it on the flight. Also the extra legroom seats were well worth it! Pros: "There were lots of choices of movies. The flight was only half full, so I got two seats together to stretch out. Pros: "Crew was a top notch, very focused and carrying.
I am loyal lufthansa fan and been flying with them with more than 20 years. Omg, last century, movie selection bottom poor : We are always playing catch up game in terms of interior.
Pros: "Well, maybe except of these "preferred sitting" arrangement. The sit was in front of open space and restrooms. Constantly people were standing and waiting for the restroom. Their butts were literally at the "preferred sited" passengers faces. I felt, I would be way more happy in a regular sit. Pros: "The crew was amazing. The seat was very uncomfortable. Pros: "Convenient seats in A" Cons: "Drinks were good, but food was bad".
How can it be fair to charge passengers 2. Pros: "Good food, good drinks, good flight attendant crew" Cons: "Seats were not very comfortable. There were also no air vents". Cons: "It was weird that for dinner the meal was vegan as requested, but the breakfast was not and so couldn't eeat it. It was weird that one meal was correct and the other was so lacking. Pros: "Airbus A -- the most comfortable and quiet passenger plane that I have ever flown in Very friendly service, who even remembered my name!
Pros: "Crew. Clean restrooms. A huge plane for first and business class. Food was awful. Extra long walk in Frankfurt to baggage. Pros: "Almost everything. Pros: "I liked the comfort of the seats and the spaciousness of the area allowing for standing out of the way. The service was exceptional and the food on this flight was very good. Entertainment was also very good. Other than that, on this leg of our journey we had no complaints. Pros: "Crew was nice. The flight was delayed so I had no option but to board the next day since I wouldn't be able to make it to the connecting flight in Frankfurt.
They couldn't give me another connecting flight since it was all full. Because I booked my ticket only hours before my flight, they said it might not be possible to fulfil my meal request since there's a 24 hours cut off. However, now I had to cone back to the airport and take the next days flight which gave the airline more than 24 hours from my original meal request. I still did not get the meal I requested, the crew didn't know about it and didn't have any to spare.
This was my first time flying Lufthansa, I probably won't try it again. Pros: "The hospitality crew that was at SFO gave us the location of a lounge to go to which closed at 8 pm. The time they gave the location was at 8. She was uninformed and not very highly trained. Lounge was disgusting. Messy, crowded - seemed like a 2nd class waiting room in an Indian railway station.
The boarding was very poorly managed by the same lady! Cons: "Lufthansa lost 6 of our bags and left us with no information or compensation. I sent them emails but there is no response from customer service. This was very unprofessional and Lufthansa has to pay for it. Can you please help. Next time we will certainly have to avoid The airline as their gate transfer in Frankfurt is horrible with very rude security staff who has no interest helping our family to board the flight on tight connection.
Instead the person decided to go on his break right when we were at the X-ray screening. How rude and unthoughtful. Pros: "Flight was on time, plane was clean, food was good, entertainment worked except WiFi, but I didn't need it anyways " Cons: "One crew member oversaw me several times when distributing beverages because the gentlemen next to me ordered two, and she assumed he's ordering for me which he didn't. She explained herself, but didn't apologize but made it sound like it was my fault.
When I ordered 2 beverages wine and water , she said she doesn't have time to hand out two beverages to each passenger. Pros: "The food was good. They did not even make arrangements for connecting flights after knowing we would be late.
Airhostness looked like they did not care about anyone in general got a negative vibe from her. Cons: "The crew didn't seem particularly interested in helping anyone and worked hard to avoid eye contact. This was an unpleasant flight at best and given the option I will not likely fly Lufthansa again if given the option. I wish that I had better news to report from this flight. Pros: "The entertainment was good. I was not given any other option but to check in through the United website.
On that website I was not allowed to check in for my Lufthansa flights and i was stuck with seats I did not want in my 2 long intercontinental flights. This has happened before. Lufthansa has no option to check in online if my first flight leg is united. This is a very big drawback and also the reason I would not prefer to fly Lufthansa again. United is bringing the quality down. Pros: "Gave us snacks when flight was delayed" Cons: "Flight was delayed Entertainment app didn't work".
Pros: "The airplane was clean. Lots of storage space. The crew did find seats we could move to if we wanted to watch movies. Made two phone calls to the airline prior to my scheduled trip to attempt a seat upgrade but they told me I would have to do this at the airport where of course no upgrades were available". Cons: "No special dish for kids food or atleast wasn't offered on the flight to us". Pros: "Great overall experience oafter some years of absence using other major carriers" Cons: "All bathroom downstairs, crammed stairs long long waiting , no room to wait for your turn".
Pros: "I have ordered the salmon fish dinne and the fish was totally overlooked, dry and tough. I could not swallow the fish and ate the tiny bread roll only. The second was breakfast wigh tasteless scrambled egg and mushroom and spinach. Both serving sizes were really small with just one side dish of fruits. I was hungry the whole 10 hours flight. Pros: "Flight Attendants were Excellent. Friendly, attentive, and caring! Thank You Very Much. Thank you to the Flight Attendant who reseated us together but "you know what" to the person that screwed up the seats in the first place.
Also the on-line check in process was extremely poor, maybe "bad" is a better word. Cons: "Lufthansa does not honor frequent flyer statuses of any of their alliance partners in regards to seat upgrades. Everything else about Lufthansa is excellent, but I will not book with Lufthansa for long flights anymore because of this.
I'll stick with United from now on. Pros: "The new plane entertainment features and the bigger toilet room space I'd rather have a more comfy seat than bigger toilet room space" Cons: "The person behind me kept pushing my seat back..
Seat space is way to small, need more room to move. I'm only lbs. Also, those seats are so uncomfortable with the way they contour one's back. No support and very very uncomfortable, I had mid back tension pains the entire 12 hour flight. Pros: "Service was good, the airplane was good also" Cons: "This time we experienced a strong turbulence.
It would be more helpful if the crew gave updates about the situation more often, was really scary. Also, the food was not good at all Pros: "The flight itself was fine. Pros: "- crew was nice - overall flight was smooth" Cons: "- not too unexpectedly, food was small - bring something warm to wear, as at some point temps can be real cold Cons: "1 After long stand the line when i want to check in my Luggage i got shocking news According to checkin counter lady said Flight delay more than 2hours and can be 3hours no body knows how long will be delay, she recommended me to go from San Francisco to san jose airport to get another flight.
According to rull must keep it under seat, but crew don't say anything I was very very surprised. Pros: "Everything about the flight was very nice except for the exceptionally tiny and narrow seats.
Pros: "I liked how I was taken advantage of, knowing it will never happen again" Cons: "After having my ticket Inadvertently canceled didn't like the lack of support in purchasing a new ticket through Luftansia's customer service agents that deals with consolidators such as Kayak. In the end I was left not be able to buy a ticket for three days after being quoted a specific price and charged about triple the rate originally quoted it initially quoted I wasted valuable time into my vacation along with an amazing amount of stress.
Pros: "Lufthansa always has good service and amenities" Cons: "I believe it is Lufthansa's responsibility to move my seat if I am seated next to someone who is taking up more than half of my seat for an 11 hour flight". Pros: "The crew was great, food options were solid so was entertainment" Cons: "I purchased online usage and was charged but wasn't able to access online services at all.
I asked the crew if they could refund me but they were unable to help me out. Pros: "Crew was excellent, seats comfortable enough, tons of in-flight entertainment" Cons: "Flight was overbooked and we nearly didn't get seats - I know this happens but it's especially aggravating and stressful for big international flights, and not worth putting your customers through the worry, IMO. We shouldn't need to worry about whether or not well get on the flight and I'm sure some folks didn't Pros: "Plane was clean and the economy-class seats were relatively comfortable.
Entertainment was good. Bathroom facilities on lower deck was a good layout, avoided the usual waiting in the aisles to use the restroom. The staff was friendly and the food was pretty good. Cons: "the monitor at my seat did not work and I could not watch any movie. Everything else was fine. Pros: "My wife and I loved the courtesy onboard, the flight crew's attention was great. Pros: "first time in the new economy plus, was a pretty good experience-- food comfort, etc.
Pros: "They put us in a hotel. Nothing more than an "I'm sorry. I'll never fly them again. Pros: "My original flight was cancelled and then my flights after kept being changed without notice to me. The crew was terribly rude and pissy with all the people. There was one younger stewardess that was kind and smiled a lot, but the older woman and the men were incredibly mean to everyone.
Pros: "The plane condition. They actually refused to serve something additionally when asked. Cons: "No internet available For the my previous flight, a month ago, was the same problem. The entertainment on board. Really great" Cons: "Nothing dissatisfying about the flight nor the airline staff. Very polite, very professional. It was a Great flight. For long trips this airline is one of the best. Pros: "Flight was on time. Baggage claim was a nightmare, 6 Schengen flights in the same belt.
Cons: "Flight 2 hours delayed, started boarding but had to wait on line 10 more minutes on boarding ramp for plane door to be opened, upon landing in Dublin had to wait on tarmac for anther 15 minutes for stairs to arrive and be connected to airplane. Then had to wait another hour for checked luggage Pros: "The crew was great! The food was also much better than other airlines.
