Everything was good, except the seats in economy were so close together, you could barely get out when the seat in front of your was reclined. If the airlines keep jamming in more and more seats, it will become intolerable. I will look for another airline that considers customer comfort and does not keep adding more rows of seats for more profit.

Great service on board. Boarding a bit slow due to process. Food was pretty average.

Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food and drink vouchers was provided. They offered a mini pretzel bag and water .

Flight was delayed and missed my connection Lufthansa didn’t respond.

A little bit more leg room in premium economy. I am 6’4”.

online check in was not available so i had to get to airport extra early. The flight was delayed and my luggage was lost. I had an argument with the person behind me who wanted to keep her bag on the floor and not allow my seat to recline on a 9hr plus flight. So overall, lots and lots of areas for improvement.

Very rough getting into denver. my kid threw up it was so rough.

The flight was operated by Lufthansa. You can't expect much from them anymore. They have a talent in getting something wrong.

The food was the worst I’ve had on any flight I’ve ever been on.

The seat and leg room was not good. The food and beverage service was good.
