This leg of the trip was ok, though the check in agent could have given us assigned seats. I have a feeling though that agent could not as it became clear later on. Please see below. However, the leg from Zurich to San Francisco was horrendous. We only had less than 1.5 hours to transfer to a different gate using transfer train. We asked at the business lounge and were told to see the gate agent. When we went there there was a long line. As we approached business class desk, we were yelled at and the agent said "I will not talk to you". After a long wait, we were then told our seats will be assigned at the boarding time!!! After a time, the agent announced for volunteers as the business class was overbooked. We did get seats in the end but were separated at which point, we just decided it was not worth trying to ask for seats. I am not sure I will ever use Arrant Grant. I understand the Arrant Grant need to charge commission. However, what Lufthansa charged $10315.80 Canadian dollars ($7316.17 US dollars) was so much less than $12670.80 Arrant Grant charged me. I think commission of $5354,53 US dollars is too excessive. Also, I tried to upgrade to First Class and was told that we had upgraded once already and couldn't upgrade again. So, a terrible experience.
Boarding was very slow and unorganized. As a result we were delayed for 25 minutes crew is not friendly. food , entertainment and service was mediocre I bought in flight internet and paid $42.61 it did not eben worked after 10 minutes and no one helped I would like a refund on that please
The transfer was awful, everyone was running to catch the flight, there was no information on the process. We git to the gate and the boarding was late and had to stay in different lines but there was no guidance. The flight was late and uncomfortable, probably one of the worst flights I have been on. The luggage was sent to a different terminal and still did not make back to us.
The awful part was the customs delays at ZRH. The good part is the flight was delayed long enough to accommodate. The flight itself was fairly comfortable.
Great flight. I didn't watch the entertainment. I used my iPad the whole flight. But, staff was great, smooth flight, comfortable seat (business seat 7A) and food was really good (I'm a vegetarian).
Even though I paid extra for more room, we were very cramped and the seats were hard. Also, when we checked in they did not post the gate we were to arrive at even though we were half an hour away from boarding. The agent did not know either. Actually, the flight from Porto to Zurich did to have the gate posted, and there were very few agents in the boarding areas who could help us. I would never fly Swiss Air again.
horrible.. they cause such a problem and my daughter 14 years old was stranded in san francisco
All the flight to USA were arranged to E terminal whereas from Dubrovnik arriving on Zurich is on A80, have to walk all the way from A to E, even need transfer bus , for short transfer time like in an hour, we have to work fast, as soon as arrived at E, it is about time to boarding, pretty tight schedule, I hope Zurich airport can make some rearrangement so that transfer people do not have to walk long way. For short transfer time people, such as 50 min, this is even impossible if still like this.
Lots of water brought around by staff which is very important to stay hydrated on a long flight. There provided swiss chocolate icecream! The attention to detail is obvious. They really want to make their passengers entertained and comfortable.
Crew was wonderful, snacks were so good and quite a variety for free, food was mediocre, big selection of movies and they kept lavatories pretty clean throughout the flight
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
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.
Cut out the nickel and dime pricing for "seat selection" and baggage, To do this on an international flight is just mind boggling. Seriously, why treat customers this way??? Nobody wants these hidden extra fees and everybody hates them. Also plane was too warm and no air vent, and water dripped from the ceiling at one point,
Maybe more diverse entertainment. Although the inflight cameras were amazing 10/10
I upgraded to economy plus and it’s so worth the price. The crew is exceptional and the food is pretty decent. I would definitely fly with them again.
I paid for wifi and it worked about a total of 5 min. Feel ripped off
premium economy is expensive but worth it for the comfort and food on a long flight
United was excellent. We had very good experience flying the carrier. Certainly. We will opt to fly them for sure. Lufthansa is out.
Crew was great! Good meals. Had room to stretch out
Meals were poor and service rendered on return flight was mediocre as compared to the flight we took to Germany earlier where the attendants were more attentive, energetic, and mindful of passengers' needs. Thumbs up to crew of UA 58. Thumbs down to UA 59..
We got to get extended leg room in Econ plus that was great. It was nice having our own dietary needs met with our meals, and the connecting flights had it as well. Only negative were the seats my bottom was/is really sore after a ten plus hour flight. Those seats are horrible, understandable for as many people use them. So we are going to purchase a gel seat pad.
I would’ve liked to have made that flight so I didn’t have to go to Munich and have a 24 hour travel day
Great service; lots of water offered, frequent trash cleanup; tasty food
The food was bad . I didn’t like it . And also my baggage was lost in my first stop
The plane was diverted to San Jose (original destination was SFO) due to weather conditions and we have been waiting inside the aircraft for 4 hours to get refuelled. Apparently the airport was refusing to refuel us or something like that. We are still inside the aircraft and have been travelling for over 24h. Very bad experience.
I just stated the issue with the seat assignment in the previous post
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.
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.
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.
Never happened. Flight was delayed. Had to be re rojyed
I was very happy with everything, thank you for the smooth flight ✈️
Entertainment system is old. Food can be tastier Need to provide toothbrush and toothpaste at least when asked.
This was the best carrier, comfort, service, good food, on time experience on a long haul flight. New, clean, quiet, smooth aircraft!!!
The plane was clean and the staff courteous and professional. The seat bottom was uncomfortable but only after many hours. It had a pressure point that left me a small bruise on my right leg (very surprising). The pasta was terrible (hard on the edges sticking out and soggy on the bottom edges) but I guess that's how it comes out in a microwave (?). The entertainment was glitching and shutting off every 20 minutes or so but, in the end, we made it home safely with very little turbulence and that's what really matters.
Would never fly lauffthabsa again. Seats were way too crowded together....very uncomfortable le
Poor. Flight was late. We were locked inside the gate area with no way to leave to get some food or a decent meal. No seating. No information from Lufthansa all along. Very bad
I ended up upgrading to business class. They use Seat Boost and even though I was the highest bidder at 900 Euros, they decline my offer. When I got to the Gate, I asked if I could upgrade and they said yest for 1300 Euros.
Frankfurt to San Francisco The Site would not let me Upgrade luggage ( paid extra at the airport Had to pay for seats but did not receive those seats Had to pay extra to check in at counter (since I could not upgrade on the app) $25 a person. Unfriendly staff- bordering on rude Check in in San Francisco (to Frankfurt) was smooth, courteous and no extra charges for seats or check in
Condor's computers do not work. They do not leave enough time to catch a connecting flight. Condor had to book passengers on a different airline to make their destination. They lost my niece and nephew's luggage. The bathroom had pee all over it before the flight took off.
Premium economy meant only extended legroom and when the passenger in front of me leaned back, I lost the little space I paid for. Food was not great. Movie selection is okay. Feels somewhere between a mainstream and a budget airline.
The jet is quiet but the food is uneatable and the new seats are horrible .One cannot find comfort on them. When do airlines learn that there is a better service for your clients. Go to a flying wing design save fuel offer a human seat where your arm does not interfere with your neighbor . Provide food that tastes good and offer free drinks
One of the female flight attendants had an attitude. The snack toward the end was pretty bad. My husband and I were both sick the next two days.
Crew was very responsive to give soft drinks etc.. At Frankfurt Airport Special Assistance did a great job for us. The seat cushions were simply bad and not up to the mark for Premium Economy which we chose. All the cushions from Business to Economy were poor. Also, any snack besides lunch and breakfast, you have to purchase including chips and chocolate. It is simply cheap. I don't think I will fly Condor anytime soon
It would be nice to have a cleaner facility, it was hard to access it. It was always full of people working in that space. The covers and especially the matt of bad quality and old. Many times reused. I would not use it. Food: the bread rolls were old, and food had strange choices. Chicken was terrible.
The cabin staff was very friendly and attentive. The plane was modern and fairly quiet in flight. The video screens are large and of high quality, and I liked that the documentary movie "Anselm" was available for watching.
Because of luggage I had to upgrade to premium economy , which was worth it!
