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.

There was a very drunk and disruptive passenger who was on the plane, right behind me. He was already drunk before boarding but was still let on the plane. He kept kicking and hitting the back of my chair the entire flight. It was an early morning flight and had zero rest on that leg

Long wait for the stairs, the bus to disembark from the plane, and the shuttle to the terminal.

Almost as usual, half an hour take off dilay, on the other hand - the checked in baggage arrived as magic super quickly. By the way - why do you ask to rate the food and entertainment on flights without them? at least offer the option of "Not Relevant" or similar...

Comfy seats, great cabin service and a very relaxed experience

To complex. So many types of fare. This made the boarding a caos.

I am writing to demand an immediate refund and compensation for the absolutely unacceptable experience I endured with VUELING this week. On Monday, my flight was canceled, and despite this, I have yet to receive any refund. I was then taken to a hotel in a terrible location, where no food or even water was provided. The next day, I was rebooked on another flight, for which I had to personally cover an additional €50 in transportation costs—only to have that flight canceled as well. After waiting 10 hours, only 10 of us were offered alternative accommodations, while the rest were left stranded. We were forced to remain in this situation until Thursday without a single explanation or proper assistance. During this entire ordeal, we were only provided with breakfast and dinner, while being charged extra for drinks. This level of treatment is completely unacceptable. I expect an immediate refund for the cancelled flights and full compensation for the inconvenience, additional expenses, and the significant distress caused.

Nothing. There was no flight. They cancelled the flight with no replacement about 9 hours before takeoff.

The flight was canceled at the last minute. Alternative flight was booked after 6 hours wait in Malaga airport.

Horrible, flight cancelled and had to come back the next day

No complimentary snacks, but I think that’s a standard in the USA. There were loud drunk Germans sitting in front of us.

I will never fly vueling. 1h30 delayed, connexion missed with the crew closing the boarding in front of us. 40 people missed the Barcelona-Orly connexion. hours waiting for rebooking and hotel.. inadmissible

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

Flight was ok until there was a sudden juddering in the plane and a severe sudden loss of height. There were a lot of distressed passengers and not a single word was said by the pilot or crew.

The airline gets you from one place to another in a reasonable time. Not much more you can expect.

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

The punctuality of f the flight was super: we left on time and arrived about 20 minutes early - and the cabin crew were both friendly and efficient. The only downside was that Ryanair appears to have resumes its old obsession with sizing cabin bags again after a long and welcome absence.

The check-in process is very confusing. The company charges for everything, but tickets are low priced. I probably wouldn't take the airline for a flight over 3 hours. The seats are uncomfortable. There's no net on the seats to hold things like headphones, a folder or anything.

Flight delayed. Sat for more than 30 min with no air conditioning on a very hot day.

Late again rude staff at gate bullying passengers made us stand in the cold 3degrees for 40 mins before they let us board

Boarding was chaotic, the gate changed 4 times and we took off 1 hour late

Bag check in was terrible. Arrived 2 hours and 10 minutes ahead of required time and then waited 50 minutes in line to check ONE bag. There were 4 employees standing around as only two were checking bags and there were 6 gates available to check bags. Process is terrible. Lack of customer concern and service.

My flight to Frankfurt was a very pleasant experience. The food was good, but what really stood out was the cabin crew, who were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional. The service was excellent—honestly, better than on some much more expensive flights I’ve taken. A wonderful experience overall!

This is a very basic flight with no-frills. I just wish the seats were a little bit more comfortable.

Catastrophic experience the gate selected customers were picked up to.pay 70 eur for overweight 1-2 kg. While some others were let to board without chcking their carry on bags. Unecessaey drama by Lufthansa that brings nothing just hating them by customers.

We were charged for luggage, and our ticket was with Lufthansa and was supposed to include luggage fees. So our experience was a bit bad. Also, the flight was about 45 minutes late arriving.

The real bathroom smelled horrible and it smelled in the real of the plane..

The connection between my income flight and the outgoing flight was slightly late and they would not hold the next flight for 7 minutes. The next flight was 4 hours later and we were issued a stand by ticket. So we had to wait to find out if we would even be on that flight. After boarding that flight was delayed for 40 minutes because there wasn’t a ground crew to load the luggage. The airline is not living up to it reputation.

This flight space was way better than our international flight. Efficient boarding and comfortable

Shorter flight but no food or entertainment. Flight was packed and no room to store carry on baggage.

We paid Lufthansa for reserved seats months before this flight. Apparently this was not forwarded to ticketing as the clerk at check-in gave us seats at the very back of the plane next to restrooms and storage. Needless to say, we didn’t sleep at all on our overseas flight. We sincerely hope that our accommodations are better when we return to the US on October 11th.

We connected to this flight very late, in fact at departure time. We were last to board. The crew was very empathetic and welcoming. The plane was impeccable. We flew economy, so it was a bit cramped. We were served a snack that was more than expected these days. All in all a good experience.
