Bring a foam pad, your butt will thank 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
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2025
Pack a jacket since you need to deplane in the open to get a shuttle to main airport

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.

Take more time than you think you need to get through customs. 2 hours isn’t enough.

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.

There was a little turbulence taking off and landing but mostly it was too late for me to make my connecting flight to Greensboro. Everything else was excellent.

The seats were very nice in premium economy. The service was good. The flight was slightly bumpy. Would have appreciated more updates from the pilots.

I missed my flight and had to buy new tickets Rome- Boston

Crew was great! Good meals. Had room to stretch out

The economy seat was much less comfortable for an international flight in terms of recline and moving space when food tray is expanded. Per entertainment, it would be amazing if I could connect my Bluetooth headset or ear phones to the entertainment screen. Or provide in-flight wifi to connect directly from my own device.

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

I liked the flight, the attendants, and the comfort. But the gate for boarding was poor. Even the elderly had to climb down many many steps to the bus and climb up to the plane.

Cancelled 90 min AFTER Departure! We had to deplane and wait another hour plus for the flight to be shown as cancelled for the customer service team. There were many many angry customers.

Good and they are leaving at time and arriving on time

Horrible airport ever. We stood in the security check line for more than an hour. It was past boarding time and we were still waiting in line for the security check. With 2 children and a medically ill person we had a very stressful transit.

Flight cancelled. I was rebooked without discussion or options. Had booked a flight with a bed and when I was rebooked, the flight had a recliner seat. Felt cheated.

We missed our connecting flight in Frankfurt do to security and all hell ensued then.we got rebooked to Washington got there round 10 am ish didn't find out till 630 we were rerouted to United!! Then we started getting updates

Movie selection was nice and chicken with rice dinner was good. I did not like the pizza thing they served for breakfast/lunch. It was like a hot pocket but mostly bread. A small sandwich or cheese and cracker snack and fruit etc would have been much better. Also they did not announce trash pick up so a lot of trash was left by everyone when departing.

Too tight connection. Lufthansa staff pulled 12 of us out of passport control that had tight connections and took us about 1/3 mile AWAY from our gates and put us in another slow, long line. Needless to say all of us missed our flights and the Customer “Service” staff was rude and not helpful at all. Was rebooked from a direct flight to one w a 6hr layover. Asked about an other option that was on my app and was told to book it myself online (which would be $300 extra pp!!). Got rebooked again w a tight connection which was also missed. Rebooked into middle seats that didn’t recline for 9 hr flight!! No compensation (and we paid for seats!) Ended up taking 26hrs to get home from Europe to North Carolina! No longer a fan of Lufthansa—2nd time having these kind of issues w them!
