The new buisness class pods are 100% worth it. Loved it.
Pretty bad. No welcome drink (the Lufthansa signature drink they advertised but did not serve). No 2 round of beverages. No coffee to end your meal. No snack before landing on an overseas flight. Mediocre everything and unattentive staff. Munich and Frankfurt as connecting flight airports are terribly big (20 min walk for transfer!) and confusing. Will not fly again.
My premium economy experience did not live up to my minimum expectations. I've taken this flight twice in the last three weeks, and each experience was the same. The premium economy seat was worn and extremely difficult to recline. It took two people to return it to its takeoff and landing position. The food was OK, but for the premium that a premium economy seat cost, I expect a satisfying meal. Years ago, I looked forward to the experience of flying transatlantic on Lufthansa (I especially enjoy the hot towel before the meal), but this is not been my experience recently. I'm not going to use Lufthansa again.
If was mostly my own fault. I booked and paid for a window seat. That was a mistake for a long flight. It was hard to get up and use the bathroom. The entertainment system seemed primitive for a modern aircraft.
It was a safe and smooth flight. Members of the crew at the second level, business could have been more polite and engaging.
Our seats were not together - one on upstairs business class, the other nicer downstairs business class. Terrible!! A very nice agent worked hard with other passengers & got us upstairs together. Not ideal experience. Check in agent should have caught that! Asked about upgrade to first class for additional $2500 each. Refused upgrade saying we upgraded once already. We booked on business class to begin with so we’re NOT happy!!
Old planes and rude crew. They need a make over and better staff training. Even business class crew was rude and the hospitality was non existent.
Will try to not fly with them again. Delays because of weather but got redirected to an airport where I could not make connection.
Absolutely horrific. Not only did the plane not board until AFTER it was supposed to have arrived in Luxembourg, but at the VERY last minute they announced that they would have to bump 10 people from the flight. Of course our family of 4 (trying to make it to Luxembourg to see my children’s 86 yo grandmother for Christmas) was bumped. There were 4 staff members, only one of which was even remotely trying to answer questions or get people on another flight. The reason they bumped us was bc a crew member was sick so instead of 110 passengers they could only take 100. This seemed ridiculous for a 30 minute flight where nothing is served anyway(!!?) They told us they could only book us on a Lufthansa flight at 1pm, but that there were no seats guaranteed. They also told us we would get a €250/person voucher for our troubles. They then gave us a link to a website to get those vouchers. When we got to the gate, the Lufthansa crew said that the flight was already overbooked and it was very unlikely that we would get on board. When asked if we could get our luggage and rent a car instead, they said it would take at least 2-3 hours to get our luggage. When we finally were allowed on the flight at the very last minute, we arrived in Luxembourg and none of our luggage (5 bags) with all of our Christmas presents and clothes/toiletries for the week made it to Luxembourg. Oh, and the link to get the vouchers doesn’t work….I think Air Dolomiti has a lot to answer for. I will be sure to avoid them at all cost in the future. I would recommend that companies like Kayak should use more professional air lines.
I will never use Kayak again as long as you have a partnership with Chatdeal. They’re crooks. The Customer service with Chatdeal (that you do business with) is BAD. Non-existent. Automated to redirect the customer back to the airline, when they KNOW that customers who buy a ticket with Kayak, CANNOT make any changes with the airline directly. Imagine aircraft failure causing loss of connecting flight overseas. Passing the buck is BAD; and very juvenile. Gave excuses and NO solution.
