The staff on the flight were utterly brilliant; there was a young man who was particularly exceptional. Boarding was quick and seamless, and service was great! Seats were fab, as was the entertainment and its ease of access

i’m The staff on my flight were amazing as always, beautiful professional staff, they do amazing job. the food ? room for improvement

The agents at the boarding desk were not very helpful, however the hostesses on board the flight were great, the food was ok, and there were lots for choices for entertainment. I was stuck in an middle row seat which was a pain on a full flight, but otherwise the flight was great.

The man in front of me reclined the entire flight, including during meals, which was aggravating. My screen had issues with brightness and kept flickering in and out.

Still some confusion about my baggage which was disconcerting. It was nice that there was extra space on the flight for comfort reasons. Staff very friendly

Everything was smooth and the meal was delicious. I really appreciated that Aer Lingus still offers complimentary beverages, food, luggage and headphones. It was nice that the main meal also featured some items typical to Ireland including the wheaten bread and Kerrygold butter. I generally found the flight a quite relaxing and enjoyable experience.

The seats are so close that you have 0 room to move. Not acceptable for an 11 hour flight.

Easy process you definitely need 3 hours to get on board from Fuminchino airport

Very quick flight, efficient boarding, and clear and thorough instructions and attention from staff.

Amazing, not too crowded, great temp and the meal was good

I liked that the queuing was very quick and boarding was easy

Usual slick event. All the basics covered well. On time, plane full.

flight delay was announced after passengers were staged to board the flight. Communication regarding subsequent gate changes was poor.

Although our departure (DUB) was slightly delayed we reached our destination (LBA) ahead of schedule. The price was very competitive too (around €100 return). Plus, the departure times for both legs were very good: 13:05 and 15:10, respectively. I gave a neutral rating for Food and Entertainment because I didn't avail of either.

Just pushing back from gate now. Boarded into fourth aircraft with 13 hour delay to scheduled departure. Crappy experience.

Notified as to why there’s a delay with our flight.

From boarding to disembarking, the whole operation was very efficient.

They boarded us but somehow did not manage to record us boarding, so rather than check if we were onboard they removed our bags from the aircraft. I got a call from Ryanair staff in Dublin when I landed in Madiera asking me where I was!!! When I said I was in Madiera I was told what had happened. Our bags were to be sent to Madiera the next day via Manchester, they didn’t arrive. They are now due to arrive two days before we leave. I don’t see myself using Ryanair again unless I am forced to and even then I may just refuse.

Flight was over an hour late. Boarding was really messy with long queues at the plane.

Cabin crew couldn’t be less interested. Cabin manager was the most arrogant and the rudest I’ve encountered in many years.

We exited from a plane from LAX TO MUC containing 853 passengers. Passport control was packed and very slow as they fingerprinted and photgraphed everyone. After finally getting though we ran to the gate listed on our boarding pass. We made it just as boarding was suppost to begin. No one was there. We started running again and found a Lufthansa gate open and spoke with them. We were told the gate had changed and they called the correct gate that we were coming. We started running again, but needed to wait for the train to get to the correct terminal. Running again we made it to the gate. The plane was still there but they said it was too late. So we went to the Lufthansa help desk, they told us it was our fault for missing our flight and that if we didn't buy a new ticket from them for €256 each our return trip to the states would be cancelled. Needless to say this was very disapointing to find out on the day before Christmas that we had to pay an extra €512 to complete our trip we had already paid $3344 for. We were left with no choice. No Christmas spirit there. Unhappy custumers.

The staff were so very cheerful and happy! It really made my day to encounter such chipper folks throughout my journey

Took a long time to board. A long wait at the but taking us to the plain

We boarded the plane and waited for 30 minutes ultimately for them to cancel the flight due to engineering issues.

Love the little chocolate bars, and consumer rights in EU regarding stepped refunds when flights are delayed.

Actual flight was smooth but we were delayed 70 minutes. Were promised to make it up to us but were given no refreshments

Slightly delayed but still a more comfortable experience to take a real airline instead of a budget one.

Staff was rude in business class. Luggage was damaged and nothing was done about it airlines.

We were helped whenever needed and had a pleasant flight.

This was a terrible flight. Crowded flight. Difficult boarding. Our bags were lost and never made it to Budapest. Here with no bags, and unsure if we will get them. Terrible flight. Will avoid Lufthansa and Frankfort in the future.
