Bring a foam pad, your butt will thank you
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026
please don’t recline all the way back without notifying and getting approval from person behind you
Dora LeighFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Give yourself enough time to get through immigration
Denise and ScottFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring an eye shade. Although the plane is dark for parts of the flight, it helps to sleep.
OlgaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Make sure you have close to 2,5 hours between your connecting flights!!!
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026
I didn’t receive email with the reminder to check in 24 hours before the flight. It would be helpful to get reminders to check in and emails with info/updates with the gate number. I do appreciate emails confirming that the luggage was dropped off. It’s disappointing that it’s impossible to choose a seat without having to pay a free. The check on luggage free is quite high too. It’s Unfortunate airlines charge to check in a luggage.

Have longer layover than 1h if Frankfurt is your transit city

Pack a jacket since you need to deplane in the open to get a shuttle to main airport
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2025
Be prepared for very long distances to the gates.

Download the LH Entertainment app before the flight so you can watch content on your personal devices.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2025
Buy your seat ahead of time if you don’t want to be stuck in the middle or back of plane. It’s a shame that airlines have this added cost but it’s hard to avoid paying especially if you need to get off the plane quickly
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Beware the long distances at O’Hare terminal 5. Moving walkway help, but it was 1/2 mile or more from gate to passport control
YantiFlew with United Airlines-Nov 2024
Get yourself plenty of time to the next connection, at least 3-5 hours
GzimFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
Buy your own food, choose seating where you have your own row or someone your flying with.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
Make sure there is more time in between your flights
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024
We opted for Premium Economy and while more expensive, it’s definitely worth it on a long flight. Quieter, more room, and included a checked bag per passenger. The seats are much more comfortable. The only downside is the restrooms. PE is supposed to use the restrooms at the back of the plane even though there are bathrooms right in front of PE for first class. Stupid, the stewards kept locking those bathrooms and there was always a long line for the restrooms at the back. This was on United. We didn’t have this issue on Lufthansa PE.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2024
Take more time than you think you need to get through customs. 2 hours isn’t enough.

Fought with Lufthansa was poor, seats are uncomfortable, food was bad and luggage did not arrive to IA

premium economy is expensive but worth it for the comfort and food on a long flight

The counter person at the gate was rude and demeaning, to the point that I wouldn't fly this airline again.

We couldn’t take the direct flight back home in Florida because the flight in Palermo was delayed flor long time and keep us inside the cabin without moving the plane. The plane from Munich to Orlando was still there when we arrived to the gate but they said it was late for us to board the plane. We rushed the most to get there. It was a bad experience and got back exhausted and with pain in all muy body. We are seniors 72 and for us was very bad

ok, butt flght was delyed for 2,5h from Frankfurt, and next Flight to Columbuse same

Very kind Lufthansa agent somehow gave us all no charge extra business class seats and helped us get home rested and happy.

Seats are complete BS for 10 hrs. The guy at counter canceled our return flight from europe. Lufthansa on the way back made United look like a trailer park gathering. If given the opportunity, I will never fly united again. Lufthansa seats werent much better to be fair but the service was a 10 out of 10. Incant express how difficult umited made my trip.

The flight was canceled. I couldn't get on another flight. Meal voucher wouldn't work. The whole experience was a clusterfuck.

Food was not great. Small seating area for business class

United was excellent. We had very good experience flying the carrier. Certainly. We will opt to fly them for sure. Lufthansa is out.

Cheapflights did not forward the payment for seat assignments, and my partner and I were separated and given center (B and E) seats. Will be requesting a refund.

roomiest flight in economy I've taken in years. Excellent experience!

The entertainment system was not working, they tried restarting it couple of times but it did not fix it. We were told to contact Lufthansa costumer service after the flight for some kind of reimbursement. When costumer service was contacted I was told no reimbursement for entertainment system malfunction per policy.

That was the last time I booked Kayak. The connecting flight got canceled and the trouble shooting terrible. Next times, I will book the airlines directly. Good bye

I want to highlight the crew members and their excellent work and professionalism. They work hard to make a long trip the most comfortable as possible, the food and drinks they offer are pretty good. And they are always asking if you need something else. I have had experiences with other airlines where you have to basically beg for a bottle of water. This is not the case. Highly recommended!!!

Way too crampled. Charge more and put in less seats.

The seats on Lufthansa’s international business class on the A350-900 is the worst product in the market. Our chief purser was AMAZING though. She is the best FA I have had in many years.

the blanket was great and pillow helped. really need a toothpick packed with meals

This was the worst flight of my life. Economy seat directly behind a premium economy seat with extra recline meant I have about 6 inches between my face and their chair. My seat would not recline at all. I couldn't even use my laptop on the tray table because I had so little room. I was in a casket basically for 10 hours. Completely unacceptable.

Very comfortable plane. The food was very good (for airplane food). The crew was great
