Waiting too long before getting on the plane. No communication, slow...horrible

Waiting too long before getting on the plane. No communication, slow...horrible

Dropping off checked in luggage was terrible. The queue was insane. It took over an hour to drop off a checked -in suitcase. They had four flights checking in at once and 2 people in the kiosk to assist

Meals were nice are abundant, the staff on both flights were personable and well trained

Extremely kind staff, very good landing and take off. On time.

Flight was delayed and caused us to miss connection in IAD. Then bags didn’t arrive at bag claim until 1.25 hours after flight landed.

It was pretty bad delays I missed my train in Sweden, twice.

I lost my luggage in this flight with all my personal belonging including critical medications and until now no one from Lufthansa contacted me despite filling the claim immediately after arriving to the final distinction.

The experience was as expected…. “Nothing to write home about “

Food was awful, it was a cheese sandwich that was frozen, smelled awful. How can you ruin cheese!

Never happened. Lufthansa canceled numerous flights. Had to stand in line at Frankfurt Airport for 6 1/2 hours to rebook. Had to bypass Paris.

Excellent and way much better than the last two flights I made with Swiss and with BA. It is amazing how much difference a well trained and polite team can make. Hats off Volotea !

Erreur sur les cartes d'embarquement Pour 2 passagers Impossible de s'enregistrer pour 1 passager

Peccato che di inverno non ci sono dirett nantes Catania. Volotea è molto affidabile

Du retard(2j) et inconfort des fauteuils que je n’ai pas apprécié. Par contre , les hôtesses sont accueillantes

A technical delay caused us to miss our connecting flight which resulted in an additional nights stay which cost us $225 as well as $800 to get on another flight. Absolute BS. I’ll never fly them again

3h10 de retraso, espera para embarcar en el hall después de enseñar billetes y fuera delante del avion

Use less plastic. Use biofuels. Use solar panels and electric vehicles.

We had pay 50 euros taxe bagage to aéroport and we have already pay with kayak option bagage cabine It is not normal Bad service of kayak

Pros: "Crew was great"
Cons: "Boarding was horrible, Santorini’s airport was horrible, the flight was delayed, no one knew what was going on, there is no organization with boarding it was a mess"
Pros: "Quick flight, arrived early! That part was great!"
Cons: "Boarding is a joke. Everyone hoards the gate and there is no organization. Recommend using boarding zones. Italians have no idea how to make lines."
