Staff need to be trained on how to talk to passengers. Half the staff would frown at the smallest of requests. In short I wouldn't have taken the flight if I knew the quality of service that was on my eay
Boarding is always a bit confusing as I stand around unsure of when to board. The crew is very courteous and professional and even on a short flight the food is great, especially the chocolate.
The entertainment was not great but it was a very short flight.
The crew was very friendly and helpful. Ample amounts of snacks/meals provided and I was very grateful that the airline isn't stingy about serving food nowadays.
I did not get the meal of my choice, also as I tried to check in at home, the system did not give me much choices to respond to, instead the system blocked me entirely from early check in and it wasn't enough time to make calls. I think check in should be made available at least 48-72hrs ahead not just 24hrs. Also walking from terminal to terminal in Frankfurt is way too far, it seems about 2miles + of walk.
No air control when we got hot, the stewardess was too efficient and kept taking our drinks, you have to pay for food and teh in flight movie wasn't over by the time the flight was over so I didn't get ro see the whole movie.
We had a very helpful terminal emplyee help us get from our arrival gate to our departure gate. I know he doesn't work for you but he was great. The arrival gate personnel (including pilots) were very sympathetic to our frustration (not having our wheelchair) and worked hard to get us to the departure gate. Good work!!
The entertainment options were very good which was a good thing since it was an extremely uncomfortable flight. The flight attendants were actively serving food and collecting trash during the whole flight. It was nice to have gratis alcohol offered even though I do not drink.
I had an aisle seat but gave it up to teenage girl traveling with her mother, father, and baby so they could sit together. She had a middle seat which I had originally tried to avoid but it seemed like the right thing to do, giving up my seat. I was crushed into a middle seat with a congenial but large man to my right who put his carry on in the middle of his legs and sat with his knee and thigh in my space which was quite small to begin with. I tried to hint at moving over, but I did not want to be rude since he was so nice. This made the flight very uncomfortable since the seats are so narrow (I am not overweight). The food was cold and tasteless, the juice warm.
Itinerary was Boston to Manchester on Thomas Cook Airlines, and Manchester to Munich on Lufthansa. Computer system was down for Thomas Cook. 300 passengers checked in with hand-written boarding passes. Poor communication between airline and passengers. Delayed departure. Arrived in Manchester at 5:55am, an hour late. Misinformation in Manchester about what would happen with our checked bags. We were directed to transfers, only to find out that the hand-written bag tags were not accepted by transfers and we had to exit transfers to claim the bags. This delay caused me to miss my 7:25am connection to Munich. Better information and communication would have allowed me to make the flight. Was rebooked for 10:50am flight but at gate found out it was oversold, I had no "priority" because it was a rebooking, and my seat was given away to another passenger. I was then rebooked for 17:55 flight. I was told that my checked bag would be on it. At the gate for this later flight, I asked about my checked bag but was given no information, and the staff was not helpful in confirming my bag would be loaded. After a 12 hour layover in Manchester (should have been 2 hours), I boarded the 17:55 flight. I arrived in Munich and of course my bag did not make the flight. Effectively I lost a day on my trip, and this was a terrible experience. Flying multiple airlines on a single trip can really be awful if there is rebooking involved, as they don't work together, and neither treats you like a paying customer. I also would advise against flying Thomas Cook. Their computer system going down is inexcusable, and created a massive headache for not just me, but many passengers who missed connections.
Drinks trolley too slow, considering passengers on most European flights are paying for their drinks. Quick drinks trolley with the food trolley coming along behind would be much better, and a lot more happy passengers, One and a half hours,approx., from take-off when the food and drinks trolley, from the front, reached Row 10. Not good Willie!
You should board by seat numbers on European flights. Aisles too narrow on 320's (and equivalent), with passengers putting quite large carry-on luggage in the overhead lockers and slowing everything down plus discomfort to passengers already seated.
Otherwise a very pleasant an enjoyable flight. when the doors closed.
Dealing w kayak and all related parties in advance of flight was a NIGHTMARE. Very confusing w 3-4 layers of companies, reservation numbers, confirmation codes, etc. Will Never deal w kayak again.
clean. Seat covers nice and clean. furniture color scheme pleasant.
1. Seat distance by far too less.
2. seat width on the borderline of being acceptable.
3.. No entertainment, not even a flight info screen available.
4. Only instant coffee available. If it is instant, cappuccino or other café specialities should be available. Emirates and Etihad make the example.
5. Food okay - but not for french airline. No innovation, no thought in it. Standard "how do I get the cattle fed the cheapest possible" food.
6. Electrical / USB / Network plugs or WIFI unknown.
Worst flight experience in my life. Multiple factors. Worst customer service. Will NEVER fly with Norwegian again, even if it means paying double the price
We have bought our seats, but in the airport it was found that our seats were assigned to somebody else and nothing could be done to give them back to us
I was so impressed with my whole experience with Swissair on my recent trip from Miami to Malaga, Spain. Very courteous and friendly crew, up to date aircraft and right on time!
We were inmiddle seats -not our preference. We were told in Dublin that we had different seats to the ones we ended up in. Food was excellent, crew were very nice. Loved the "make a wish" event on this flight - a definite plus for Virgin.
