PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE SEAT ASSIGNEMENT! It is worth to pay more to avoid the rows by the restrooms which do not recline.

maybe bring a pillow or some thing to sit on. The seats weren't that comfy.

Bring a foam pad, your butt will thank you

please don’t recline all the way back without notifying and getting approval from person behind you
Dora LeighFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Give yourself enough time to get through immigration
Denise and ScottFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring an eye shade. Although the plane is dark for parts of the flight, it helps to sleep.
OlgaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Make sure you have close to 2,5 hours between your connecting flights!!!
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026
I didn’t receive email with the reminder to check in 24 hours before the flight. It would be helpful to get reminders to check in and emails with info/updates with the gate number. I do appreciate emails confirming that the luggage was dropped off. It’s disappointing that it’s impossible to choose a seat without having to pay a free. The check on luggage free is quite high too. It’s Unfortunate airlines charge to check in a luggage.

Have longer layover than 1h if Frankfurt is your transit city

Pack a jacket since you need to deplane in the open to get a shuttle to main airport

Be prepared for very long distances to the gates.

Download the LH Entertainment app before the flight so you can watch content on your personal devices.

Buy your seat ahead of time if you don’t want to be stuck in the middle or back of plane. It’s a shame that airlines have this added cost but it’s hard to avoid paying especially if you need to get off the plane quickly
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Beware the long distances at O’Hare terminal 5. Moving walkway help, but it was 1/2 mile or more from gate to passport control

Get yourself plenty of time to the next connection, at least 3-5 hours

Buy your own food, choose seating where you have your own row or someone your flying with.

Make sure there is more time in between your flights
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024
We opted for Premium Economy and while more expensive, it’s definitely worth it on a long flight. Quieter, more room, and included a checked bag per passenger. The seats are much more comfortable. The only downside is the restrooms. PE is supposed to use the restrooms at the back of the plane even though there are bathrooms right in front of PE for first class. Stupid, the stewards kept locking those bathrooms and there was always a long line for the restrooms at the back. This was on United. We didn’t have this issue on Lufthansa PE.

Take more time than you think you need to get through customs. 2 hours isn’t enough.

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

The bathroom is disgustingly dirty. It looks like the crew members didn’t clean it on a regular basis. Also, who made the bathroom so small?. I am not a big girl but I still feel very cramped inside. Def unpleasant experience to use the bathroom.

My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

All flight attendants and pilots kept us informed regarding the mechanical delay , provided snacks and water when requested . Everyone worked hard and were very friendly.We had a great experience.

The captain was running late from landing from a prior flight. We all boarded then had to sit and wait for like an hour for him to arrive. I don't understand why you would have us board knowing that we would have to all sit and wait on the captain for an extended period of time.

The internet that was free was terrible, the turbulence was pretty bad - uncontrollable I know.

My business class seat was inoperable and unable to recline for 10 hour flight.

The crew was very kind and always smiling. The seats were great and I was very comfortable during the flight. The only thing I didn't like was that the lavatories got really dirty at some point during the flight. Other than that my experience was great

Promised internet. Tried for nine hours to log in, no way. I tried the free option, I tried the paid option, I tried restarting my phone.. several times! Very aggrevating as I was trying to keep up with an emregency medial issue with my dad, but could not because the promised service was not available.

Flight from Munich to O’Hare was great but it was on Lufthansa, a UA partner. It had more legroom than United, seat slid forward to make reclining more comfortable, they offered free drinks. United offered none of this. Oh and the food was superior to United’s which honestly, sucked.

It was very good. the food was varied and tasty, the movie was the same, maybe I would recommend changing the movie selection every month because my flight to Amsterdam was in September and I came back from Munich en October they are flights so long and we need something to see. But however I liked flying with United

Good food and entertainment. Poor choices for drinks. Sitting for 12 hours on the row by the restrooms, which do not recline, was a torture

Fought with Lufthansa was poor, seats are uncomfortable, food was bad and luggage did not arrive to IA

premium economy is expensive but worth it for the comfort and food on a long flight

The counter person at the gate was rude and demeaning, to the point that I wouldn't fly this airline again.

We couldn’t take the direct flight back home in Florida because the flight in Palermo was delayed flor long time and keep us inside the cabin without moving the plane. The plane from Munich to Orlando was still there when we arrived to the gate but they said it was late for us to board the plane. We rushed the most to get there. It was a bad experience and got back exhausted and with pain in all muy body. We are seniors 72 and for us was very bad

ok, butt flght was delyed for 2,5h from Frankfurt, and next Flight to Columbuse same

Very kind Lufthansa agent somehow gave us all no charge extra business class seats and helped us get home rested and happy.

Good. Boarding was rough for a mobility assistance passenger who had to stand forever. Food was ok at best. Everything else was good

The plane was delayed about 3 hours for takeoff due to mechanical/electrical issues. The actual flight after takeoff was smooth, piloting excellent, landing great. The food served before landing at CLT airport was terrible.

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

There was a stewardess walking up and down and keep spraying room refreshner on people heads and faces. I had to bread this and smell like a room freshener afterwards not to mention was keep falling on my face. It was terrible.

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.

Economy plus on a long flight with Lufthansa was wonderful. Service starts with a pillow, blanket, slippers and care package waiting on your seat. An it just gets better from there.

The Linate Milano flight was delayed. Landed at Frankfort at 12:10. Then took the bus on the tarmac and the bus ride was about 20 minutes due to the airport traffic. Got off bus went to passport control, used the kiosk scanned passport, took photo and finger prints and proceeded to wait in line. I asked the attendant that I had a connecting flight at 12:50 his respond was you have to ask the other travelers in line to let you go ahead. There should be a better system. Passed passport control and the gate was at Z69 to the other end of airport. Ran there out breath, I was last person to board due to a mechanical:electrical issue plane took off 2 hours later. Lufthansa need to a better job with international connecting flight. A 1-15 minutes is not enough considering the doors typically close 15 minutes prior to take off. So the window is reduced to 1 hour with all you have to go through with a slight delay it is not enough time. The crew on the flight was excellent and received exceptional customer service.

Loved the towel at the end. Service was frequent and perfect.

Horrible. Would not assist w hotel or new flights when Catania leg canceled

Absolutely horrible. We missed both of our connecting flights from Frankfort due to the new border control lines. Lufthansa had us running and walking around the airport trying to rebook. They were not prepared to offer us a hotel room for the night, but finally relented when I said I was done with Lufthansa, most were not so lucky. I also put put of the blame in Kayak. You need to update which connecting flights you are offering to allow for more time to deal with the mess that is border control in the EU.

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.

The flight was 1 hour late due to technical problems with the plane. We paid for premium economy seats, but the seats were extremely uncomfortable and just as crowded as regular economy seats with perhaps a little more legroom. I had to pay extra to select our seats in advance. Compared to other airlines with premium economy seats, Condor’s premium economy seats were poor and other airlines don’t charge to select your seats in advance. The worst though was the toilets. They ran out of toilet paper with 4 hours left in a 12 hour flight, trash was overflowing, and the toilets were smelly. I will never fly Condor again and I will advise my friends and colleagues to never fly Condor.

Terrible. I can't believe I lost my entire ticket price when I tried to cancel or change the flight the day before.

Excellent airline. New planes. Comfortable business class seats. Professional crew

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

Missed this flight. $5000 to rebook next day. Horribly rude staff in Frankfurt. Everyone we encountered was either not helpful or outright mean.

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.

Awful!! We got stuck in the passport line for two hours. Condor acknowledges that the lines are really long but says it is not their problem and would only rebook us in two days. We are stuck in Frankfurt for two days and it cost us $500. Condor stated that they gave us a 1.5 hour layover which was more than enough time and in the next sentence said, yes we know the lines are a problem.

I used Kayak.com to buy plane tickets, which sent me to Underpricer. Immediately upon buying the tickets I started getting phone calls telling me that my "tickets were not guaranteed" unless I paid more money. I told them that if they've sold me on just the idea of a ticket, and not an actual ticket, then refund my money immediately. We argued, but they eventually said they would do that. They didn't, I refused the charge on my CC, the CC company eventually charged me anyway, and Underpricer still didn't cancel that ticket because I kept getting alerts to get on that flight. In complaining to Underpricer, they insist that it's my fault and that the most they can do is refund the fees. This company is using deceptive practices and harassing people, and the company needs to be banned from Kayak and from doing business in the US.

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.

My inflight entertainment unit was not working. The chair compartments were broken. The suite door would not latch. Given the cost of the total ticket, I was extremely disappointed in the service. The flight crew was not very helpful.

7 hours is a very long flight - the crew was ever present and helpful. The cabin was comfortable - WiFi was a disaster as was the entire entertainment and flight info system. They could have helped passengers by explaining that the information available on our screens and our continued attempts to entertain ourselves with our phones would be in vain. Other than that - all was well! Very comfortable seats, amenities galore and lots of crew attention. They might have benefitted from more crew as very few served the premium and basic economy,

The boarding area was crowded with inadequate seating. Flight delayed which made it uncomfortable.

Terrible we had to wait out in the cold for transfer bus to take us to the plane. Once we finally got on the plane seat had no cushioning not comfortable at all. Food was overcooked and dried out. I was skipped over when they served drinks I had to call them back to give me a drink with my food. Overall terrible experience this time. I have used BA before and never experienced service like this before. If this keeps up I will look for other options

My experience on this flight was good. The seat I had had a lot of leg room, but it was so close to the aisle that the flight attendants kept bumping into my visual monitor connected to my seat to watch tv.

It was fine, but it cost me twice as much to return to Boston as it took me to get to Heathrow from Boston two weeks prior. I flew on Jet Blue over and it was half the cost of British Air.

Staff and comfort were great but first choice meal was unavailable even in row 21.

I have flown on British Airways, many many times and will continue to do so! Always the greatest service and staff!

They ran out of headphones so my 3rd daughter couldn’t use the onboard TV the entire flight. They also rain out of food, so my 1st daughter didn’t get to choose her entrees or snack (chicken or cheese) because by the time they got to the last row they only had chicken left. Luckily she is not a vegetarian.

Spending 10 hours on a flight with no video or wifi access due to issues per stewardess was not enjoyable nor acceptable. Will follow up directly with the airline as well
