(Return)Pros: Love that meals are part of the flight. Excellent meals, great service.
Cons: Boarding announcements hard to hear in gate area at Gatwick.
Pros: Loads of leg room compared with other flights (I'm 6' and my knees are usually embedded in the seat in front, but not this time!
Cons: USB socket on the entertainment on both flight out and return was broken.
Pros: Gave us free food
Cons: Flight was delayed from 5pm to 10:30Am the next day. Had to sleep at the airport. Also had wait about 1.5 hours on the tarmac because of concerns over someone's nut allergies.
Pros: The crew was amazing, friendly and on-top of it. the filght was great. I was next too a large, smelly man and that affected my flight, but that was out of the airline crew's control made the flight a bit uncomfortable.
Cons: Not to be seated next to a large man and a child behind me kicking my seat. Again, items out of your control. There is one item, and that is, I forgot to request a vegan food option and it would have been nice to have one last minute even though I did not request it.
Pros: Good movie selection. Attentive crew.
Cons: Lufthansa has poor boarding process causing a delay in our flight. Because our next connection flight (ALSO THROUGH LUFTHANSA) was in 40 mins per their booking, we arrived at the gate just prior to take off to find our flight had been given away and we had “missed” that flight. As a result, we were placed on a flight 4 hours later, resulting in a dangerous attempt at reaching our hotel at 11pm. Will never fly Lufthansa again.
Flights to New York
We attempt to get accurate prices, however, prices are not guaranteed.
Here's why:
We’re not the seller
At KAYAK we don’t set prices, so it’s not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
