My husband and I recently had an unfortunate experience with Lufthansa. At the Philadelphia International airport, the ground staff refused to board us because we didn’t have a current visa stamped on our passports for Frankfurt. We completely understand that this was our mistake. we should have double-checked the visa requirements before our trip. However, the issue that upset us most was how the situation was handled by the staff. They told us they would mark it as “boarding denied due to visa issue”, but instead they recorded it as “no show”. Because of that incorrect entry, our return flight was automatically cancelled as well, which caused additional stress and expense. Mistakes can happen, but we expected more transparency and accuracy from a reputed airline like Lufthansa. It would have made a big difference if the staff had been more careful and considerate in documenting the situation correctly.
We were in business class. the angled seats in that class do not have a real window view & the placement of the controls are bad. But we knew that. But the food options were mediocre. The taste was fine, but the size was for a child. It’s just really feels like United is skimping on everything. Even when we were in the Polaris lounge they did not have diet sodas. They said they were out no Coke zero no Diet Coke, etc. I do not think the portion of nuts they serve on the plane could get any smaller. Really a minimal service and offer for what you’re paying for in business.
How cheap can Lufthansa get? Are they becoming Spirit airlines?
Lufthansa was great from Lisbon to Frankfurt. The United Airlines flight from Frankfurt to Denver was very cramped. In that tight space, when the seat in front was fully declined I could barely move. I'm a fairly small person, I can't imagine what a larger person would feel like.
Everything was good, except the seats in economy were so close together, you could barely get out when the seat in front of your was reclined. If the airlines keep jamming in more and more seats, it will become intolerable. I will look for another airline that considers customer comfort and does not keep adding more rows of seats for more profit.
Great service on board. Boarding a bit slow due to process. Food was pretty average.
Inoperable monitor left no entertainment for 9 hours. The crew was not helpful. Food was awful.
Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food and drink vouchers was provided. They offered a mini pretzel bag and water .
Flight was delayed and missed my connection Lufthansa didn’t respond.
A little bit more leg room in premium economy. I am 6’4”.
The flight was smooth, the pilot kept us informed about delays and we arrived more of less on time
Flight delay was communicated before leaving for airport which caused it to be a non-event. Great flight and crew!
Did not get any refreshments. Crew was very nice but limited. Small seats
Wish some foods provided rather than just biscuit/cookie for flight more than 2 hours
Wish a flight with more than 2 hours with some snack rather than just cookie/biscuit.
The flight attendant, a black woman with curly hair who sat near Row 21, was wonderful and kind.
It was good..clean, comfy seat. Friendly warm welcoming crew. Was able to check my cabin luggage at the gate which I was able to pickup in a decent time from baggage claim. The app gave all updates from delays to baggage claim info. Overall smooth flight.
Flight was delayed leaving Dallas. Arrived about 2 hours later than scheduled.
Flight delayed and missed connection. Rescheduled flight cancelled after 6 hrs wait. Rerouted thru ORD, flight cancelled, overnight stay in ORD. Still in the air on new flight!
We are too tired and frustrated to comment politely at this point
Airlines have to stop assuming passengers bring entertainment. Provide it like you used to in business class and above!! N
I don't know about the others but the flight attendant that took care of us had the absolute wrong approach "how do we dare asking for water or anything else for that matter"
Flying on the Boeing 787 from Seattle to London was everything that I expected. Every thing was great.
Not my definition of first class. No leg room and barely any recline. The food was good. The crew was great. The comfort for the price I paid for London to Cairo was highway robbery. The Wi-Fi didn't work for me either.
Seat pitch is not enough to eat comfortably. When seat in front is reclined, your screen comes closer to your face. Ryanair seats are actually more comfortable.
The leg from Portland to Heathrow was great for a business class ticket. The BA leg from Heathrow to Lisbon was terrible. Basically coach seating with an empty seat between you and next passenger. Absolutely no leg room. Should not have been charged for business class and it was a 3 hour flight.
The flat beds. Other than that, the place was not clean.
Moved me away from my family and refused to fix it.
I have always been pleased with their service. Would not change a thing
Seating and food was the worst we have experienced in 35 years of traveling for both personal and busines .
