Business Class was very comfortable and the food and service was top notch.

A bit more space? Not practical, I know. I felt squished in but part of that could have been the man sitting next to me.

They don’t give information on why a flight is delayed in a timely manner. Very frustrating.

Great experience. Flight was on time and reached destination on time

Excellent once on board. Security staff at Johannesburg rude and aggressive.

The airport crew and flight crew did a great job rearranging the gate at the last minute and got us to Munich on time

It was my first experience in business class. It was everything I expected and more. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and I felt rested once I arrived to London

This was the best carrier, comfort, service, good food, on time experience on a long haul flight. New, clean, quiet, smooth aircraft!!!

Waited on tarmac 30 min before take off everything else was fine

I asked for antibacterial wipes three times and each time I was told they will bring it to me right away with nothing delivered. I finally went to the galley and was told you did not have it. In a post COVID world that is just wrong. The crew was very non compassionate to passengers asking basic questions about food. Very disappointing and makes me reconsider my routing for the future trips.
