Long delay, no gate agent at deplaning waited 15 mins at the gate. Baggage claim was wrong carousel and over 20 mins after arrival
Well organized boarding. Cabin crew were efficient and professional. Thoroughly enjoyed the flight.
I’m biased. I work at the airport and within these systems so I know how to be effective. On top of that part though everyone was friendly and helpful. Both legs of my trip were on time. My baggage was handled with care. Alaska’s part of my experience was top notch.
The TSA pre check with photo linked to Alaskan airlines was extremely fast & convenient.
My suggestion is that they should provide USB-C charging ports for modern cell phones.
With saver fares on Alaska, you are treated like a 2nd class citizen. Last to get a seat-most likely in the middle. Last to board. By then all overhead bins are taken. It’s sad to see Alaska treats its customer like India’s caste hierarchy. I’m in Portland Oregon. So I have to Alaska. Otherwise, I wouldn’t fly on them again.
The flight was delayed by 2 hours for “routine maintenance”and because of that I arrived much later iso my Uber ride home was $100 when it’s normally $50.
The airport crew and on board experience was fine. The problem with Alaska air is that there is zero customer service over the phone when you’re trying to buy your ticket or change anything.
I enjoyed the feet space in comparison to other airlines. The snacks were also better, great service and the pilot greeted and said hi which made me feel safer.
Well the seats were very tight but the plane was very clean, the attendance great and good entertainment. Maybe they had it, but I wanted a map on the app. Thanks
We had to wait almost an hour for the wheelchair porter to be ready to pick up my mother. And when she arrived in Newark airport the porter was not there and she started walking with her cane and her poor mobility. When the Newark porter found her they didn't want to transfer her bags to the wheelchair for her.
Flight was 3 1/2 hour delayed with no credit or meal vouchers
The plane was so gross and dirty. Literally saw dust layering and flowing out the grey vents. Dust was all over the air vent knobs to the point where I took my sani wipe and cleaned them down so at least it wasn't blowing my my face. Also, I upgraded and paid for Wifi and it's always so spotty. I get we are in the air, but don't charge for it if it's not going to work. I expect so much more from United. They really are giving up.
Too many canceled flights and kept my wife and I separated on alternate flights. We did not fly out of Denver. We paid a lot of money for the seats we wanted and now that money is gone and we did not sit together. That being said, the many agents were very friendly and did everything possible to help us.
It was soooo hot I was sweating even at altitude. I know you want people to sleep, but keeping it that hot is stupid!
Your app is impossible to use. I couldn't load it. Then i couldn't open it. When i finally got both those things done -with much help -then i couldn't open the app to install a credit card. The upshot was 4 flights without access to food or drink. When i first tried to download united app some company called starlier opened instead and i would up signing up for some 49 dollar a month music service which i still have not been able to cancel.
I contacted both carriers months beforehand to change the cabin (booked in April) but to no avail (united asked to contact Swiss since it was their equipment, Swiss told me to reach out to united). So yeah… My seat was pretty worn down, legroom on 27K was more than enough, but still economy seating so, getting to know your neighbours was easy. According to ground staff, the flight was massively overbooked- and this showed. I ordered a gluten free meal beforehand (which was honoured) but for breakfast got a bread roll and croissant 🤷🏼♂️ The connection itself is great. Leaving SFO late PM to arrive at ZRH in the afternoon makes it easier to get re adjusted again. However, and since I’ve flown this connection a couple of times in the past, I will rather deal with one carrier only and include a layover on the east coast.
Nothing bad to say about the actual crew or airline. It was nice to have a complimentary FULL can of soda, as well as a snack. Blankets and earbuds were also provided at no cost for this red eye flight. I especially appreciated the free WiFi and movie selection with the Bluetooth option. It helped the flight pass more quickly. No matter who you fly, boarding and disembarking are always SUCH a pain. As I mentioned, this is on the passengers and not the crew!!
You can not pay credit Card for purchase Of food in airplane
Overall good experience. The positive: nice courteous crew. A modern aircraft, with extra space for carry on luggage. The okeish: Unfortunately, no entertainment screens, you have to you use your phone with the United App. The bad: in seat power was not working in our row, even it was promised as an onboard service. We were looking to charge our almost depleted phone batteries during g the flight This no power also happened in the flight to las Vegas. We paid extra to be in seats closer to the entrance. It was not advised that the seats we selected couldn't recline as behind us was was the emergency exit.
The Discover flight from TPA to FRA was exceptionally unprofessional and incompetent in organization. First the entertainment system was completely nonfunctional for the entire plane and no competent IT support to fix. Than they could not serve any coffee or tea because they ran out of water - reflecting the exceptionally incompetent management at Discovery and most embarrassing for Lufthansa and a German airline, more like a third world country. The food was mediocre at best and minimalistic for Discover, particularly with the much higher standards at Lufthansa.
Lufthansa's Miami International counter folks are very strict on carry-on weight. Can't be greater than 8 kg otherwise they force you to check it for a fee. Bags came out at baggage claim as soon as we arrived to that location (it is a far walk from arrival gate to bag pickup). We do travel with Lufthansa domestically and enjoy every trip.
It started well but flight was cancelled and they created a nightmare rebooking. It is two days later and we still haven’t reached our destination. I am in Amsterdam waiting on transfer desk to open (later than other airlines) to hopefully get a boarding pass. Once that problem is solved we will just pray this flight isn’t cancelled too.
The flight was cancelled, so why are you asking me how the flight was?
We sat in our seats on the tarmac for almost 3 hours due to storms. They would not give us water or a snack. We were to depart at 7.30 pm and it was about 10.30 when we took off. No dinner until much after that. Beef type noodle dish was terrible with about a teaspoon of beef in it. The breakfast sweet waffle with egg and sausage inside was horrible. An English muffin sandwich would have been much better. Food was the worst in all of our years of traveling the world.
They messed up my seat so I didn’t get the one I paid for
Put me on standby; flight was late; missed my connecting flight; disaster
Flight attendants were fine, seats a bit hard but I use a cushion for extra support. The only issue was it was a bit too cool and I needed to ask for and received and extra blanket. I survived!!!
Very few things and/or people are excellent. It was very good.
Flights have been completely changed with another airlines just a few hours before departure. New trip had a short connection time between flights and separate check-ins were required. The first flight was a bit delayed, so we had to pick up our luggage after the first flight, run to another terminal check in and drop off baggage again. We almost missed the second flight. That was painful!!!
All the above categories was great. Seats entirely too cramped.
1st class seats NOT REALLY 1st class or business class but like premier economy. Should be listed as such or named something else. I have flown 1st class with other airlines and they are nothing like it at all.
My flights were great and the crew on them was lovely especially the London to Barcelona flight as Al & AJ were so amazingly nice. I wish they would be my crew always as they have the best customer service. Sadly both flights were delayed the first one from Vegas was because they clearly loaded the cargo wrong the plane was off balance making us 2 hours late. This made me miss my connection and sadly it was challenging rebooking while I was on the flight. I will never use Kayak again as there was no customer service number or live chat and you rebooked me on a flight 2 days later. I had my mom call BA to change it which she did after spending an hour on hold. This should not be so difficult. My second flight was an hour delayed due to not being able to disconnect the bridge from the plane but I did finally make it home.
Nice flight. Legroom was good. Food was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plane was modern and clean. Seats and headrests were comfortable. Entertainment system was good and modern, with a bright LCD screen and many appealing choices.
On this flight I was in BA business class. I am used to flying United Airlines Polaris class and I was underwhelmed by BA’s business suite class. A few things: - the lounge at LAS was very basic and crowded and the LHR/T3 lounge a bit better, but still not like the Polaris lounges - boarding was chaotic, no one knew what group was supposed to board - the suites were nice, but the padding was not really made for sleeping on - crew were friendly, but only really one tray/serving for the dinner service. None of “drink first, then dinner with 1-2 pourings of wine, then dessert”. UA might not be known for the best service in the industry, but compared to BA they are super attentive. During the BA flight there was no one checking in on you after you got your one tray. - arrival at LHR was busses taking us back to the terminal, surprising for a long flight. Once again chaotic. The bus for First/Business was completely packed with anyone who could get on and the driver was screaming at passengers to get every inch packed before he drove to the terminal. By the time I arrived I felt like BA had sold me a superior flight experience and delivered a mediocre economy class experience just because they can and do not really care about their customers. Very disappointing.
Wheel chair assistance was requested but found very poor status at London.
Despite many attempts to work out a change, neither British Airways nor Kayak nor Chatdeal would allow us to cancel or change this flight so we lost all of the payments when we were not able to fly. Absolutely terrible customer service. We will never use either of the services again.
The mobile app for BA could have been better. It did not update real time on gate chnage information at the airport.
Allow extra time if changing planes at Gatwick, UK. You have to go through customs, out of the departure area and then go back through airline check in, back through security and back to departure area. Departures is at the opposite end of the terminal area, about a quarter mile hike each direction. Poor signage also.
The flight connection information and management was ZERO. This was one of the reasons why we delayed the connecting flight. The crew was rushing with drinks and always miss something.
Could have a friendlier crew. The entertainment should be updated to be more current
One of the bathrooms was out of order, I paid $20 for the WiFi and it worked 20% of the time. And when it worked., it didn’t work well. The seats were tight, but that is something that cannot change. The flight was smooth but to know fault of the crew, the flight was delayed an hour leaving sfo. The crew was polite yet efficient.
Loved the staff in business class. Very attentive. Movie selection could have been better (updated)
Condor is a very good airline. If you’re transferring in Frankfurt, make sure to allow at least two hours in case your flight is delayed. You’ll also need to go through passport control and then go back through security to get on your next flight, so a window of 2+ hours is needed just in case.
The attendants were nice, but I was freezing the entire nine hours and so cramped. Please provide more blankets or make it known how to borrow a blanket for such a long flight. Even in already expensive economy class, people really need a bit more leg room and two more inches between seats to comfortably fly for 9 hours. Our family works very hard, but the extra expense of economy plus is just not in a lot of customer's budgets, and we still want to fly in equal peace and comfort. Please create future aircrafts that reveal reasonable care for us, the cramped- to- death customers more than the question of "how can we jam a few more human beings into this already cramped flight to impress our higher ups making a few more dollars. It's just Wrong. People need a reasonable amount of leg room and a blanket when the airline attendant said the extreme air conditioning could not be turned off. The food was tasty, but a bit more protein and less fluff would be appreciated. Thank you.
It was very good! Crew was very friendly, food was very good. I was on economy so the comfort was ok. Other than that, I would fly Condor again!
We had premium economy seats and the only difference from economy was legroom. Only one restroom for about 50 passengers was a little uncomfortable. Dinner was rather unpleasant but breakfast was good. Entertainment selection pretty good and you can use Bluetooth headphones. Flight attendants were okay.
Very cramped and uncomfortable for a large long flight! Not great service. My luggage was lost and is still lost 5 days later!!!
They lost my bag and have yet to find it, they won’t talk to me or give me any customer service at all. I’m now having to contact Alaska to help me because Condor won’t give me any updates and it’s been over 24 hours with nothing
It was not the best flight I have had. The flight attendants were rude and the entertainment media did not work well. We had to pay for cheap headphones that did not work well. We will definitely not be flying over seas with condor again.
