They should be kind to the people Food is always plain pasta bread is from the fridge they don't even warm up Seat is so uncomfortable body hurts

I am very satisfied for choosing that Airlines! It was my first time but the everything went smoothly! Thank you!

This is truly the worst travel experience of my life. The UK ETA program had a technical failure, and I was stuck in limbo for 24 hours, unable to board my flight and unable to navigate anything in my itinerary. I had to rebook an entirely new flight and I’m now out doubled the money. Unconscionable.

OK, would prefer some meat for dinner, not just pasta although was tasty. There was only one dish, no choices

Flight delayed with no explanation. Boarding was confused (proceed to plane, go back to waiting area).

It was a great experience. The aircraft is a bit dated but other than that it was great.

Last few years I didn't not have great experience with United Airlines.

Booked economy. Seat felt like it was a bit more roomy than my last trans Atlantic flights. I had a nice person sitting next to me. Everything was as good as it could be considering you are 35,000 feet up in the air and in a metal container. Beers, wine, food were all readily available. Plenty of movies and shows to watch. Friendly flight staff

Short flight. Bare bones and kinda seeming like an older plane. But got me there on time and that's what counts. Perfectly fine flight all the way from start to finish.

We were delayed three hours from Montenegro to Vienna on our outbound flight and then rebooked an extra leg on our trip to the US. Our bags, which Austrian made us check in in Montenegro even though the flight was barely half full, didn't find us for ten days. Then, when we asked for compensation for the delay we were given the runaround that the flight originated outside of the EU. Next time we fly Turkish Air.

It is ridiculous that Lufthansa weighs your carry-on bags. It's also ridiculous how strict they are about the 50 pound rule when you're flying overseas for nearly 3 weeks. The reality is, that if you book a business or first class ticket you get a $70 luggage allowance. It's bullshit that it's not about safety. It's not about regulation. It's about money. And that pisses me off. Furthermore, under price, which I assume was the travel consolidator for my ticket sold me some bullshit ticket that did not include to check luggage. What a bunch of nonsense. That's a scam. There shouldn't even be a ticket offered to Europe without checked luggage. I don't know how most people are, but now I'm gonna be very skeptical about using KAYAK again and flying Lufthansa. I think maybe it's best I just booked with the airline directly.

The tv and remote didn’t work. The plug to charge our phone didn’t work.

I have very bad experience with United because Vince two weeks that I did not receive my luggage yet

The crew could deploy more customer focus and not frown when asked a question. I’m speaking of one lady in particular who raised a hand in my face for me to wait whe I tried to ask a question and never came back to me. Very unprofessional and rude.

They set someone on our assigned seats and we ended up finding seats for ourselves to ensure the family sits together.

The service and flight was great. Luggage came out very quickly!

I ended up in Lufthansa to Zagreb because of our delay

Turns out you cannot use the Lufthansa app to check I for flights bought from a 3rd party. Had to locate someone to ticket me in Frankfurt. I was not the only one. What a hassle.

My flight from Munich to Zagreb was canceled, no one bothered to let me know. I only found out when I came to check in in Denver. Kayak company wouldn't even issue me a new flight. They said that United Airlines holds my ticket. With United I was around 90 minutes call with supervisor who was trying to explain that she can't help me change canceled flight, Kayak agency should do this. On the end she issued a new flight with 24 hrs overlay I Munich. The whole ordeal was so traumatizing for me. I am a women traveling alone. No one offered hotel or any tipe of help in Munich. Traveling these days is so poor, No one is taking any responsibility for anything, we are left to suffer their unorganized mess, and pay really good money for it. I was not gonna wait 24 hrs in Munich, I had to take taxi to city and took a bus to Zagreb. Terrible experience all around.

I paid over $1500 for the flight. I requested a refund, but all they gave me in return was $100.
