I love this company for comfort, cleanliness on board the liner, excellent food, very good selection of films in Russian. Looked with pleasure. And the main friendly conductors who work smoothly and with the soul.

I love this company for comfort, cleanliness on board the liner, excellent food, very good selection of films in Russian. Looked with pleasure. And the main friendly conductors who work smoothly and with the soul.

Business class should have free wi-fi. Food was horrible

Will never fly American Airlines business class again. Medicore service and very old aircraft.

Staff went above and beyond with their care for us. Flight attendants were very attentive to our needs. Food seemed too rich and too salty. Flight was fine, even with turbulence at points.

Finnair was ok. But some things were pretty bad: 1. Crew was not friendly, especially a crew member named, Maria. She woke me up while I was deep asleep by force just to let me know that 2 people can’t be on the same seat (my toddler and me) for sleeping. 2. There was no vegetarian option in the menu so I had to eat bread for one meal 3. They didn’t have an option for child meal

The food was delicious. There has been a major improvement here in the last few years. Excellent, friendly service. An enjoyable experience.

Late, dirty cabin, charging ports broken, uncomfortable, no tomato juice, barely edible food

It was a pleasure definitely going with Iberia on my future travels

Great flight- smooth, nice crew, nice clean aircraft, departed a little late but arrived 10 early.

In-flight entertainment was. It working for the entire 12 hour flight! Unbelievable! At least provide free wi-fi so people could use their phones.

Some of the rudest flight crew I have encountered in over 40 years of flying. Despite pre-ordering a vegetarian meal, the only options provided included meat, with no other choices or substitutes offered. Additionally, the sound on the entertainment system was not working. With flight delays had only 20 minutes to make it to next boarding gate and after running most of the way made it to flight with 2 minutes to spare Will never fly SAS again and I am looking for partial refund for false advertisement.

I feel SAS is the only airline that does not let you choose your seats when you're checking in, and so we were forced into two middle seats and it was quite uncomfortable. There are not enough new and quality movies available on the entertainment system. After our inbound SAS flight being canceled with less than 12 hours til departure, the whole experience flyign with SAS wasn't great.

My biggest recurring disappointment is that I buy a pre-assihned seat while pucrhasing the ticket and then when checking in it disappeared and I have to buy it again. That's very disappointing and actually a reason I will actively avoid SAS in the future

More movie options More friendly responds to passengers requests More stops from crew inside airplane

Payed $140 xtra for seat arrangement Did not get the preselected seats neiter outbound nor inbound. Absolutely not worth the xtra money

not good missed my connection SAS did not leave me anywhere near enough time to make my connection. Ended up adding about 10 hours to my travel day

Overall a great experience. I didn’t like that they didn’t assign seats until we arrived at airport. All the employees we interacted with at the airport and on the flight were kind and helpful.

Since our earlier flight was delayed, we missed this flight and were rerouted on Lufthansa 2 days later.

Scandinavian Airlines is terrible. Flight was late. Lost luggage. Rude flight attendants. Terrible experience.

Ancient aircraft (busted armrests, poor cabin temperature with no option for passenger control). Garbage everywhere. Risible checking of safely conditions on landing. Also, late.

Nothing available at the assigned hotel as far as brush, toothbrush, etc after forced layover with bags that departed

Poor service. Check in person at the COUNTER was ruthless and threaten to call police instead to look for better plan or actions. VERY MANERLESS lady. KICKED US OUT OF OUR RESERVATIONS. ABSURD

There was very little premium experience. The check in was awful with a 40 minute line and service making me feel like I was putting them out. The lounge and gate experience was scattered and not well organized. the only good thing was the seat. Food was bland and barely edible. Overall I found it wasn't premium at all rather a cheap low class experience.

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

The seat configuration was insane. Horrible. Had to jump over sleeping people to go the bathroom. The food was the best we’ve had in any Business class.

Flight attendants were pleasant and helpful. Pilot gave fair warning about turbulence.

Unfortunately the flight was delayed. On a positive note the status updates in the app/text message were good

extremely tight seats. seating next to a large person makes the space very uncomfortable. The crew is not very friendly either.

The flight was 3 hours and 40 minutes late. The communication around the delays was awful. I fly this route regularly and it is always late. I don't understand it. The flight attendants were not friendly and were generally loud. This was an overall bad look for American Airlines.

Too little snack and drink for almost 6:00 hr flight. Should have serve some food.

After flying on Icelandair to England and getting a greeting glass of champagne, free drinks and salmon I returned to the US on United for around the same price and got told immediately that I would have to eat a vegetarian meal because everything else was gone and every time I paused thinking in flight entertainment I got advertisements on the screen. On the Icelandair flight I had a great selection of documentary films and on United I was reduced to watching the Spider-Man movie. Guest which airline I look forward to flying again?

Such a comfortable flight! Food was yummy and staff was very friendly! Will absolutely fly Lufthansa again.

The flight from FRA to SFO was uncomfortable. The crew allowed people to change seats after boarding finished, but then made some people move back to their seats but not others, which resulted in my wife and I having to sit in two middle seats for an 11 hour flight. The entertainment system was not working well throughout the flight, and stopped working completely around hour 8.

Inflight food quality is definitely declining. Only one hot food was served and rest of were boxed meals. That’s not how was done before. Better to fly Asia or Qatar carriers for better service.

The seats on Lufthansa’s international business class on the A350-900 is the worst product in the market. Our chief purser was AMAZING though. She is the best FA I have had in many years.

I have very bad experience with United because Vince two weeks that I did not receive my luggage yet

Good and they are leaving at time and arriving on time

The flight attendants were wonderful - one man put my carry on in the bin for me. Very attentive service. Loved the blanket and pillow waiting for me in economy. Food was excellent which is a surprise given the reputation of any airline food. Wine was fine with the meals. Delighted with the new movies - flight went by very quickly. I would definitely fly Lufthansa again.

Generally good. Not their fault but the design of the Boeing 747 had seating supports directly in line with my legs. So my legs always had to straddle this support which caused body misallignment. Such poor design from Boeing. There was no USB port for me to charge my phone. The screen touch control was very poor.

Patrick and the whole crew were amazing! Hope to have this team for all my European trips.
