Crew was not good and service was bad. Not happy
Provide latest releases in Movies as they used to do.
Each and every requirement was nicely provided by all staff no very be happy
No boarding passes given at start point Too much wait for boarding passes
Seats very uncomfortable, impossible to sleep. Food average, bakery items not fresh. Pockets in seats not large enough to hold a book and a few other items. Cabin temperature too cold, even with blanket. Good selection of movies. Other than that 12 hours of torture!
Except for the first row in business rest of the seat has less leg space while fully flat
The flight was delayed by 1.5 hours without much explanation and they ran out of complimentary bag for inflight comfort. Would like to know if i can can get compensation
Business class seats were not comfortable. I have traveled with Turkish Airlines several times and it’s always late. My suitcase was lost. I was in another country and I had to find my way to go back to airport and get my suitcase since it arrived next day after my flight. Really disappointed.
The flight attendants on this flight were incredible! One even gave me her own dinner when my special meal order wasn’t transferred due to a flight delay! She insisted and I was so grateful. That is going above and beyond! The issue I had with the flight was with Lufthansa support. I missed my connection due to a flight delay and they wouldn’t rebook online, only in person. This took a lot of time and visits to the airport waiting for a Lufthansa agent to arrive 5 hours later than posted and almost paying full-fare price for the new flights and refusal to add my special meal orders. It made for a challenging journey home and I didn’t feel valued as a customer.
Your flight crew was disrespectful. I asked simply what type of snack were available and the flight attendant snapped at me with we serve only a cheese sandwich and it’s “halal”. I never asked if it was halal. I simply asked for what type of snack they serve. I am a Catholic and had no idea why she mentioned halal when I never asked that. She may act racist in Europe because maybe that’s a thing there but in United States the flight attendants thank god are respectful and do not act the way she did.
Poor food only 1 chose pasta ,old dry sandwiches before arrival.I’ve been flying a lot this one was the worst.I thought the Lufthansa have higher,better standards even this flight was a eurowings.
I missed my connection. Lufthansa did a great job helping me get a new flight. My luggage arrived on the same plane as I did. That was astonishing.
No way flights should have been suggested or sold with such little time in between for multiple security checks and customs AND terminal changes. All boarding passes were not given by first airline. We had to run in Frankfurt and missed flight in Chicago.
I needed more seat room. Next time, preferred seating or business class.
Our trip was Lisbon-Frankfurt- Bangalore. When we reached Lisbon Check in there was not anybody at the Lufthansa counter. There was one and a half-hour delay before the aircraft left Frankfurt. The less said about the food the better. I had an Eco Saver ticket. Does it mean that beggars cannot be choosers' type of attitude to passengers is the order of the day?
Bread stale. Croissant stale. Person behind me was kicking me throughout flight. Boarding slow.
We missed this connecting flight because of the very late arrival of the first flight. We’ve been stuck here in Munich for two days. Disgraceful!
Our entertainment/movie and audio did not work during our flight. Two of our bags did not make it to our final home destination. No personal assistant. Everything is via email/web with no assistance.
