Flight east late, old, food was terrible, no options, service was bsd
The crew were good. Everything else was poor.
The trip was very good..I loved that I received notifications all thru the trip.
The flight was delayed. Don't recall much else, as the flight was short and I slept through most of it.
Cons: "The seat didn’t recline and the entertainment didn’t work"
Pros: "The flight was on schedule. The pilot was great and avoided turbulence."
Cons: "Compared to my SF to Munich flight, the return trip was a nightmare. The flight attendants were nowhere to be found. Cold face towels, ran out of food and drink. Flight attendants allowing a school field trip to take over the flight. My seat was kicked for 7 hours straight, they did nothing."
Pros: "crew onboard and food/entertaiment."
Cons: "could do without the delays. transit time was reduced to less than an hour in Frankfurt because flight to Frankfurt was delayed by 45 mins. it is becoming very stressful to transit in FRA every time."
Pros: "The economy seat was surprisingly comfortable"
Cons: "No complaints. Good vegan food."
Pros: "Service was excellent, food was good, everyone was friendly and nice."

Cons: "boarding was late and slow, arrival at Frankfurt late"
Pros: "crew friendliness"
Cons: "selections in entertainment system is very old."
Pros: "Again the flight wasn't full so had plenty of room."
Cons: "The sandwich they offered was pretty bland."
Pros: "Always enjoy Lufthansa flights - Seemed a bit hectic this time"
Cons: "It took me 25 hours to get back home, multiple flights, lost luggage, and overall a disaster of a trip home. I was supposed to arrive in DFW at 2:15 p.m. and did not arrive until almost 2:00 a.m. My luggage came to a different terminal and did not arrive with me. In the end everything was okay but it was not a pleasant trip"
Pros: "Smooth and comfortable flight . Awesome service by the crew"
Cons: "Over 30 minute delay for an hour flight! Frustrating."
Pros: "We had more room with a 2-seat array in the middle of the plane. It was more comfortable than the 3 seat array."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Disaster customer service .. cancelled and mtssed flights"
Cons: "No language options on tv besides english."
Cons: "Horrible in flight food. Even in the business class it was mediocre at best. The in-flight entertainment system did not have a responsive interface. The content was dated."
Pros: "all on time"
Cons: "seating very cramped"
Pros: "Convenient schedule, excellent service, good food, all-around positive experience."
Pros: "Flight attendants were always there when you needed them and were super nice. The plane was very clean and orderly and the crew just made it a really great flight."
Cons: "I really have no complaints at all. It was a super great flight and I will choose Lufthansa whenever possible when I fly in the future!"
Pros: "Economy seats are not comfortable. The seat cushions are worn out and do not provide good support for long flights."
Pros: "Meals ok. Pillow and blanket nice."
Cons: "Crew stressed. Could not understand announcements. Rude response when questioned."
Pros: "Don't like anything"
Cons: "Bad food delivery crew members always restless mood"
Pros: "On time and a safe flight."
Cons: "Flying ECONOMY appears to be getting worse as time goes on. I have flown Lufthansa before and was very pleased .... but lunches/dinners served with cold wet bread leaves a lot to be desired. Also, when the individual in font of you reclines their seat, it becomes almost impossible to eat your meal. Overall still better than other airlines ... but clear that economy seating is like sitting in the back of the boat with little regard for the passenger."
Pros: "The flight staff was excellent!"
Cons: "Pilot strike caused much distress in Frankfort. The best that could be done was a layover extended by 5 hours and a diversion to Luxembourg. The final leg of the trip was further delayed an extra hour due to mechanical difficulties in Luxembourg."
Cons: "Missed connection along with about 25 others due to the delay getting to Lisbon (no reasons given)."
Pros: "Again the friendly crew."
Cons: "The snack at dinner. A simple sandwich would be better instead of the heated pizza and large sandwich they did give."
Cons: "Staff in Bayreuth was very good and excellent specialy miss Suzane Fakhri and mrs.Ahmad Jaber ,and the way the staff was excellent"
Pros: "Tea offered instead of coffee - nice touch!"
Pros: "Crew was helpful, slightly relaxed reclining. Baggage delivered on time & without damage."
Cons: "Flight took after 1.5 hours delay , with 30 min incremental delay notifications. After take-off, food service started 2 or 2.5 hours later , they could have expdited it considering that the flight was delayed. Seats ,as I have come to expect from Lufthansa , were cramped laterally ,although i was pleasantly surprised with how much they reclined, given my low expectations. Main dish in the Food service was served hot but were quite minimal in taste/quantity & variety comapred to other inter-continental providers. I was feeling hungry most of the flight and couldnt sleep as well."
Pros: "The flights itself was ok. The flight attendants caused me no problems, and the flights, when I FINALLY got on them, were smooth."
Cons: "everything else. The franfurt airport closure made me miss school because they did not offer extra flights to accommodate all the displaced travelers. I had to stay in the Frankfurt airport for a FULL EXTRA DAY, and every time I tried to get a new ticket, or ask anyone for help, I was given the run around. No one was helpful. I talked to about a dozen Lufthansa employees that day and only one was helpful at all. It was a hellish nightmare. Before my last flight, I was furious with how I had been treated all day and a horrible Lufthansa woman yelled at me for being upset about the situation. Then, when after much hassle I finally got to my destination, I was told my baggage was lost. That was on thursday and I still have not gotten it. i am never flying lufhansa again. This was the worst trip of my entire life."
Pros: "Overall good experience. I don't expect much for food on planes and dinner was acceptable."
Pros: "Punctual departure and arrival. Crew was professional if not always friendly."
Cons: "The worst food I can recall I have ever experienced on a plane. So bad that I didn't have more than an unfortunate bite from my "dinner" entree. The food was especially noteworthy as the trip over was so good... In the entertainment category, the sports and news line-up only had old soccer games..."
Cons: "I got a wrong flight from you, different than the one initially selected, upon my payment !...with 6 hours overlay instead of 50 minutes. For that I had to pay extra $300 !"
Pros: "I liked the service and friendliness of the crew and number of items available on the flight."
Cons: "The food was not amazing (but not the worst I've had either) . The flight announcements were a bit annoying as they kept interrupting the movies (mainly because they were off and on)"
Pros: "Watching movies. The plane model seems to be a bit larger. First time when I saw stairs to the second floor. It felt more spacious. I really enjoyed that."
Cons: "Nothing to complain. Thank you for providing great experience :)"
Pros: "Nice attendants."
Cons: "They left one of the bags at Frankfort and we had to wait 8 hrs at the airport till they could get it back."
Cons: "After we realized our flight was cancelled we were trying to reach Lufthansa but couldn't for a long time. It was very frustrating. There was nothing we could do on their website either. No alternative flights were offered, no additional information about how and when we can fly home. We had to stay one extra day on Salzburg since this was the only option given to us by Lufthansa when we finally spoke to them the next day. This experience with Lufthansa was absolutely disappointing and we will probably never book with them again."
Pros: "everything else was fine"
Cons: "the bathroom smell. they should have at least a good smelling soap, like lemonsoap.... the pasta was too overcooked."
Pros: "everything was good"
Cons: "n/a"
Pros: "The crew were amazing; very helpful, polite and caring"
Cons: "Food should be less but better quality"
Pros: "Best flight in a long time - comfortable seats, good food and service, good entertainment."
Cons: "Can’t think of anything"
Cons: "Would have been excellent but it was 30mins late"
Cons: "They lost all my luggage"
Pros: "Crew was very friendly and boarding went smoothly and ontime."
Cons: "Seats are very close together. Young child behind me kicked the seat most of the way. Bags took a very long time to come out."
Cons: "2 hour delay on an hour flight"
Pros: "Crew, plane was very comfortable, meals good and generous, luggage easy, on time. Overall, outstanding"
Pros: "When I finally settled into my seat on the British Airline and that Hostess came around and offered me a couple of free drinks that was the best thing that happened to me all day."
Cons: "For an older couple like us did not like having to climb the steps up into the Plane and being out in the rain did not help. However that was not the worst part of the arrangement between getting off the Aer Lingus plane and with so little time to reach the gate for our BA flight to Denver it was a total disaster. Due to a minor problem my wife had with her foot I had asked for a wheel-chair to be available when we got off the plane at Heatrow. Good job that I did because with out their help we would never have made it in time for your flight to Denver. Between up and down in elevators, running along the corridors, in and out of a bus and I myself trying to catch up with those poor attendants. I was sorry that I did not get a second wheel chair for my self. Only for the flight was delayed by about 20 minutes we would have missed the flight. Who ever was responsible for making the arrangements of just allowing a time of 1 hour and 10 minutes between flights needs to figure out a better time schedule before people of our age ends up getting stressed out and end up with a heart attack. Very stressful indeed, believe I will never let this happen to me again. Fly/Us you need to fix this."
Pros: "Typically Aer Lingus has been a good airline but this past experience."
Cons: "The airline lied to us and told us the flight was cancelled when in fact it wasn't. It was the connecting flight was overbooked from Dublin to Boston, and because it was they decided to pull us continuing on to Boston out of line and left us stranded in Berlin. They initially gave us the excuse it was cancelled but in fact it took off fine. We 10 people had to then wait 2+ hours in line trying to find alternative flights to get home. The 1 person behind the desk was slow and didn't actually complete the paper work properly. She had attempted to book me on a passage on British Airways but didn't do the paperwork correctly. I reported to the British Airways desk and found that she hadn't in fact done anything. It was to the British Airways person who actually got me home properly and safely. I would not recommend them any more to anyone. They didn't reimburse me, they didn't even attempt to tell me the truth, they didn't even do their job correctly. I recommend to others to fly a different airline."
Pros: "I love Aer Lingus, they appear to be always on time and nice comfy seats. No problem boarding, was nice and quick."
Cons: "Nothing to not like at mo."
Cons: "NO complimentary drinks or snacks. Seats are bolt upright. Not comfortable."
Pros: "Shannon is a very easy airport."
Cons: "I was unable to get my seats assigned from America. I had to go to the Aer Lingus desk when I arrived to get seat assignment."
Pros: "took off early once they had accounted for everyone, and arrived a little early too."
Cons: "While I didn't have to check my bag on the first longer flight, I did have to check it on the connecting flight which delayed me somewhat in getting into the city of London. Not awful, but strange... Free-for-all when boarding, not nearly as organized as it was at JFK."
Pros: "The efficient flight but no drinks or snacks w/o purchase"
Pros: "Nice seats food was decent crew excellent"
Cons: "Not enough room"
Pros: "Boarding was good....overhead room for carry-ons probably due to a less than full flight. The entertainment was varied, current movies, and wide selection of music. The crew was as efficient as possible and accommodating. However, we all have learned not to expect much."
Cons: "Comfort is lacking as is the case with jammed seating on all planes these days. It would be nice to be able to recline the seat, but since I resent it being done to me, I do not do it either out of respect for the passenger behind me."
Cons: "Short flight but had to pay for snacks or drinks on Aer Lingus."
Pros: "Ahead is schedule"
Cons: "Even had to pay for coffee"
Pros: "Boarding Gate crew were good."
Cons: "Seat cushions are worn out. Need new foam. Hostesses spent more time talking to each other during food and beverage service than to the passenger."
Pros: "Everything on time, check-in was easy, connection in Dublin went smoothly,"
Cons: "Don't like that anything to drink or eat costs money. I understand that's the competition with other airlines but still don't like it."
Pros: "Your staff are very friendly. But you probably need more staff to help people with self check in as there were a few elderly people standing around not knowing how to use the self check in ."
Cons: "Was not happy about paying extra for my luggage . At the price I paid for my flight I would have expected a luggage allowance of one check in bag."
Pros: "Flight attendants were nice looking, very friendly, smelled nice they could not have been warmer people!!"
Pros: "Quiet, short"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Everyone very helpful"
Cons: "Paying for beverages seemed a bit much."
Pros: "Our first Are Lingus flight - would do it again!"
Pros: "entertainment was great on board food was good (for airline food) staff was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "The customer service did not help at all."
Pros: "Nice, new clean aircraft, excellent meal service, very very friendly crew, top notch the minute we got on plane"
Cons: "Two major problems, when we went to check in, we stood in line and were very rudely told by some German British Airways attendent that we couldn't check in with them and that we needed to go to Aer Lingus, this even though our reservations were through British Airways. Second, despite my efforts over a few months to make seat reservations, my daughter and i were separated. Aer Lingus reps in rome fixed that and I was very, very grateful for that, but when we got to the Dublin/Boston leg of our flight, they couldn't or wouldn 't fix the seating issue. On board the plane though, the flight attendents arranged for my daughter and I to sit together. Really upset me that I didn't know until the very last minute, on the plane, whether I was going to be able to sit next to my child."
Pros: "Loved being on a flight for holiday, and knowing I wasn't being overcharged for needless frills."
Cons: "I don't remember if they served a drink, I know things were for sale. But that seems to be the European way."
Pros: "The entertainment package was varied, enjoyable and needed for an eleven hour flight. The service was average as was the food."
Cons: "As usual the seats are to small and too close together, front to back. What offends me is that the airline offers a minimal meal and or treats with an occasional offering of water and then turns around and offers to sell you extra food or drinks. Sadly though I believe most airlines operate this way now. I suppose it is what you pay for now. It sure isn't the way it was even a decade ago."
Pros: "The food was elevated and we were fed twice on our 9 hour flight! The beverage service was also provided often with a good assortment. I loved that there were new release movies available for free. The staff was friendly and available. If I were to do another long flight like that, I would seek out British Airways."
Cons: "It was all great."
Pros: "The crew were the best very personable"
Pros: "We left on time and landed a bit early. Only 1 1/2 hour flight, so no food, drink or service, but it got us there."
Cons: "Our son's luggage did not make it to Barcelona with us. We arrived on Sunday. He was called Monday that a delivery service would bring to him that evening, but they did not show up. They were to come Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning and never showed up. He finally had to take a $35.00 cab to airport to get the luggage. NOT a good experience. The Aer Lingus support number just rang and rang, no one picked up for days! My daughter tried the main Aer Lingus connection but they referred us back to the same phone number. NOT good customer service."
Pros: "Efficient staff and timely I would book again for sure"
Pros: "We landed safely."
Cons: "Mobile check-in not an option. Seats not available until check-in without paying. Nothing is complimentary on a rather expensive flight."
Cons: "I requested an aisle or window seat and was not able to get one."
Pros: "Crew was friendly. Boarding was efficient."
Cons: "Hard landing."
Pros: "Our return trip from Shannon to JFK was the best flying experience we have ever had. I requested an aisle seat for my 6'5" husband and we were given the emergency aisle. The flight crew was outstanding- Ashley and Hazel could not have been nicer to us. My TV set was broken in my seat but I did not care as I had a lot of reading to do. It was an outstanding return trip from a wonderful time in Ireland"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable!"
Pros: "Very polite and helpful."
Cons: "Unknown"
Pros: "It was a relatively quick flight."
Pros: "We were late for our connecting flight because of a plane issue and no one from the Air Lingus did anything to help us get to our next flight out of London to Munich. We asked several times and they said follow the signs ."
Pros: "Friendly efficient service and complimentary late flight snacks with beverages a nice touch you don't get on other transatlantic flights"
Cons: "I could not get a seat assignment until the airport. I was sent an email to check in & was not allowed to. I called the airline & still could not get a seat assignment."
Pros: "Crew was friendly. The movie selections were outstanding."
Cons: "When it came time to choose our seats, there was no indication of where the bathrooms or any walls were. We chose a row in the middle if the plane. Come to find out it was against the bathrooms. Seats were unable to recline making for a very uncomfortable flight."
Pros: "Friendly employees, clean new plane."
Cons: "Announcements from the pilots and staff were impossible to hear and understand. Arm rests don't move out of the way, water not served very often. Would appreciate quiet hours on the overnight flights, people directly behind us left on their lights and talked loudly all night, it was very hard for us to get any rest with all the noise. Especially considering they complained when we tried to recline our seats. Some support from the flight attendants would have been appreciated in that situation. But overall the flight was without major incidents and fairly comfortable."
Pros: "Staff - attitude and so forth. All was done nicely"
Pros: "- prompt boarding - friendly staff - good movie selections"
Cons: "- not enough leg room - incredibly cramped seats Granted, I was stuck in the middle, but it was impossible for the people of either side of me to avoid encroaching on what little space was mine. It was an almost unbearable experience and I flown many times, with a variety of airlines."
Pros: "Crew was very helpful and friendly. Entertainment system worked well."
Cons: "The seats were atrocious. I literally felt lost feeling in my legs at one point. They are super old and worn down with no real padding to speak of. I had to sit on top of a pillow for partial comfort but that didn't feel great either."
Cons: "Wheelchair assistance at Heathrow was very very slow it took 2 hours to change gates within Terminal 5"
Pros: "It was very comfortable."
Cons: "If my actual flight hadn’t gotten cancelled. Also my tv didn’t latch, so it rattled a lot and when the people talked on the speaker, if you were plugged in, im pretty sure it would cause hearing damage...."
Cons: "No meals served, and no beverages, unless you are willing to pay inflated prices for garbage. They will give you tap water if you ask, and that's that. I still find this approach despicable and unnecessarily stingy, especially since this is BA, not a lowcost."
Cons: "Overbooked flights led to a missed connection resulting in a 12 hour layover"
Cons: "The layover was exhausting & getting to other gate was too stressful. Changing planes should be simplified."
Pros: "BA"
Cons: "some more leg room"
Cons: "The airline changed my seats after giving me boarding passes and I had to pay to get better seats. That is no t acceptable"
Pros: "The crew worked hard and was courteous."
Cons: "This was American Airlines flight, not British Airways. The plane was old and quite uncomfortable. The entertainment system was subpar. The AA app was supposed to give opportunity to get more choice using personal devices but the system did not work on this old plane."
Pros: "Food was decent, crew lovely but 9 hours in a seat that was ridiculously narrow and tight left me less than delighted. And I’m a very average sized woman. I felt like a t-rex trying to eat my meal."
Cons: "See above for overal review."
Cons: "The plane had a mechanical problem and did not fly out. We are hoping to fly out one day later."
Cons: "Check in with British at LHR very bad and slow"
Pros: "Beautiful plane. Cool black leather seats. Extremely nice crew."
Cons: "No tv our power source"
Cons: "There was no food or entertainment thus the star rating. The one thing that was very uncomfortable were the seats, there was no lower back support at all."
Cons: "BA has a lot of nerve charging first-class prices for coach-seat legroom. The fact that the middle seat is empty doesn't warrant the price increase. Abominable food and no in-flight entertainment complete the picture."
Cons: "There was a charg for ALL drinks & food! This made the service process quite long & cumbersome."
Pros: "Great safety video, made me laugh."
Pros: "It was short and fine"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "We slept the entire flight since this was the second leg of our journey."
Cons: "Plane departed 40 minutes late even though we were on board in time. Congestion at Heathrow was the problem, but this was not a problem for us since we got an extra 40 minutes of sleep."
Pros: "Hospitality from Crew members. Food."
Cons: "24 hrs delay for boarding this flight. No wheel chair provided though I booked."
Pros: "Crew was superb, very friendly and helpful as the handle of my bag broke. They did all they could to assist."
Pros: "Because of you he delayed flight from Los Angeles they gave us a new one to Milan which arrived on n Linate instead of Malpensa two hours after my scheduled trip. Not nice"
Cons: "The flight was 1+ hour late, but little information made available, including basic info like gate."
Pros: "Much more space than on American Airlines,"
Pros: "British Airways makes you pay for water!!! I accept paying for food and drinks but water should be free Also their machines to pay on board don’t accept USA credit cards so I couldn’t pay but a kind flight attendant allowed me to buy with card and she hand wrote info"
Pros: "Uneventful, other than having missed the original connecting flight on account of delays."
Cons: "There was no food or entertainment, so I can't rate them."
Pros: "The crew looked after us really well."
Cons: "Unfortunately, through no fault of the crew, the water supply on the aircraft was contaminated and there were no hot drinks."
Pros: "Finally getting to my destination 3 hours late."
Cons: "Issues with check-in, flight delayed multiple times, gate changes multiple times, non communication from attendants."
Cons: "The flight status erroneously showed it to be "Cancelled""
Pros: "see above"
Cons: "see above"
Pros: "Friendly crew, spacious and comfortable seating and great food"
Pros: "Crew was excellent"
Cons: "Food selection is terrible. Plainer, simpler foods that appeal to more people would be preferred. If you want to attempt to serve 5 course meals, that is fine, But, please have normal backup foods. In fact you would save a lot of money buy not putting seeds and grapes in the salads, buying plain white/wheat rolls with no seeds, and much simpler appetizers/desserts. I saw a lot of food being thrown away. Mine included. If you are trying to force people to buy food before they board, you have succeeded. TV displays and remote were very poor compared to your competitors."
Pros: "Overall service"
Cons: "Boarding was confusing There was no food or entertainment on short flight"
Pros: "The flight to NO was good. Service was good as well."
Cons: "The seating was much more cramped than the flight to Ireland. Very tight quarters for a 10 hour flight. Other than that, it was good. We arrived safely and that's the best feeling ever!"
Pros: "The trip was adequate in all aspects for a short haul flight"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Very professional. Crew was very friendly and accommodating."
Pros: "Food, movies, crew were all great"
Cons: "Sitting with not enough leg room for 12 hours. I am 6 ft tall, and I made it work mostly, but needed a neck pillow that I brought to fall asleep, and it wasn't for very long. Just feeling the pinch!"
Pros: "The crew were great and friendly. The check-in agent put my father's name on notice for assistance in London for his achy knees."
Cons: "We only brought (2 - 1 each) carry on bags and were asked multiple times to check the bags even though they fit easily on the aircraft. We only had one hour to connect in London so we (1) could not risk losing our bags and (2) needed them for our things. Food was only available for purchase as is the case in the US now. British Airways was always a cut above in my eyes, now they are just part of the herd."
Pros: "Pleasant efficient staff. Flight on time"
Pros: "Safe flight arrived early!!!"
Cons: "Crew seemed non friendly. Did only what was required. Seats were tight And very cramped."
Pros: "Plane was comfortable and departed on schedule."
Cons: "Difficult to find where to catch this flight. Gate not printed on boarding pass. BA changed our seats without informing us."
Pros: "same service from AA"
Cons: "Chairs"
Cons: "The aircraft was downgraded from an A380 to a 777, flight was overbooked, food was not good."
Pros: "Service flight crw"
Cons: "Terribly crowded"
Pros: "Old plane, outside boarding, riding a bus, climbing up stairs to a plane, really poor experience."
Cons: "Business class consisted of blocking off the middle seat in a row of three, and no extra space. The seat in front of me was as close as it was for economy. Why on earth would anyone spend extra on this, I have no clue."
Pros: "Flights were fine, normal, typical. No leg-room but that's the case on all flights these days."
Cons: "Flights were fine but connection time in London AWEFUL! They gave us just one hour to connect and you absolutely can not get from one terminal to the other - a long distance apart even by bus - and then go through security yet again, in just one hour. Then, as everyone is in the same boat, you wait in line for a couple of hours to be re-booked. Terrible! It all turned into a fiasco - 11 hours of travel, turning into 24. Awful. We will NEVER USE HETHROW AIRPORT AS A CONNECTING POINT AGAIN - EVER!!!!!!!!!"
Pros: "It made it."
Cons: "Once were on board our pilot informed us there would be a 1 hour hold time by the tower. After 20 minutes, things changed and we left. We arrived late, but it was Terminal 3 to Terminal 3. Fast right? Nope. Walked for days and then we got to go through security again. Arrived to gate. More of room with in access, but no out access. Good thing there were bathrooms in there - oh no wait - there weren't. Good long wait with kids before we could board."
Cons: "Both when waiting in line to board and on the plane, the staff was acting like they were headmasters checking on passengers who had too much carryon. I understand that this is a problem for the airline but they should train their people to act in a friendly manner. There are different ways to say the same thing. Big turn-off at the beginning of the flight, which was an hour late due to weather conditions."
Pros: "United Airlines is putting customers and employees at risk. It is an insane and absurd as it is disgraceful. During boarding you will see painted arrows on the ground urging you to be "6 feet apart" from fellow travellers. You will then enter a the plane and be 6 inches apart as the plane will be FULL. Fly Delta where they block off middle seats and social distance. United CEO Scott Kirby does not care about customers or employees. The absurdity of the juxtaposition between the "6 feet" signs in the boarding area and the COMPLETE ABSENCE of distancing on board tells you everything you need to know about United."
Cons: "Practice social distancing on the plane. There's a pandemic. This is the NUMBER ONE thing you should be doing to assure safety of passengers and crew."
Pros: "Movie selection"
Cons: "More drink service"
Cons: "We were delayed not once, not twice, but 3 times. Changed our gate 3 times. They changed planes twice. Then, only one agent at the gate to do everything!! I will not fly United again unless I have to!!"
Pros: "Crew was great"
Cons: "Not able to change our seat and I understood checked bag per person was included. The charged me 120 for two bagd"
Cons: "Missed this flight due the delayed previous glight"
Cons: "You had to pay to watch television and movies"
Pros: "it was ok.. but I like to flight with Lufthansa more"
Cons: "I bought the flight from Lufthansa, but at the end was a United Plane.."
Cons: "The onboard wifi was not working."
Pros: "The crew on the flight was very nice and I like that they fed us multiple times."
Cons: "When at the boarding gate, the staff forced me to check my carry on because they said it was “too big”. But I was on a flight before hand that was much smaller and it fit in the overhead space there. When I try to tell them that it fit in the last plane and I fit it in the example been, they still made me check it. I believe they just picked me out for no reason. It was ridiculous and the lady was very rude. The crew on the flight was very nice and I like that they fed us multiple times. Also, the flight was very cold. Even with the blanket and cardigan, we could never get warm."
Cons: "95% of my united flights are delayed. Today, they overbooked and asked for a volunteer. I did so and was offered a $1,500 compensation. Instead of 8:00, I would arrive at 11:00. I was very excited and patiently waited for the plane to board, so I coulD receive my new flight info. The flight is inevitably delayed, as it always is with this airline: I would have ended up missing my connection, so it seemed to work out well. However, they’re about to close the doors when the agent says “it’s not overbooked anymore” she gave me the option to so either get on that flight and wing it on my layover to find another flight, or go to Newark. But I needed to make a decision at that moment. The agent revoked the $1,500 because it was no longer overbooked and her demeanor immediately changed from The kind, accommodating agent she was when she needed me to give up my seat. She became short and rude. I got the last available seat because I was the last to board and was forced to check my bag because there was no more room. All because I was willing to change my travel plans. I get to my layover, and the earliest flight I could get would land at midnight with an additional layover. Oh! And the first class seat I was supposed to have on my second leg was not available. All of this was while I was seriously ill— throwing up, just wanting to be home. Honestly, I’ve never liked United. I constantly get over it, because it’s often the less expensive option. At this point, I am so sick of how they treat their customers, and their inability to depart on time. Last time I let them put me through this again."
Pros: "Landing safely"
Cons: "I upgraded to a seat right at the front. Still ended up in boarding group 3, no room for my overhead luggage so I had to put it half way back on the plane. My $45 upgraded seat wouldn’t recline because it was broken and I still had to pay to have a bad checked. Oh, and the flight attendant simply said “ok” when I informed her of my seat malfunction."
Pros: "I have flown with untied twice now within a 1 month period and haven’t had one delay. Each time I flew from EWR to MXP I had on time and early flights. Anything from boarding to taking off has been on time and smooth."
Cons: "Economy seats need better cushion on the bottom of the seat. It’s brutal trying to sleep."
Pros: "The flight was great! The captain came out to greet everyone before we boarded the flight. it was a smooth ride and we got to milan sooner than expected! Can't get any better then that."
Cons: "The crew wasn't that nice. One lady in particular was extremely rude! I would cringe every time I heard her response to a customer. Her attitude was nasty and it seemed that she was in a rush to just get everything over and get off the plane. I wish I would've gotten her name because the others were great, but she didn't seem to be happy."
Pros: "Service was great."
Cons: "The seats are way too small. Very uncomfortable for such a long flight. This is unacceptable. Also, Frankfort airport is too big and the connection required walking a very long distance. I will not be connecting here again and I will not fly United if other airlines fly to the same locations."
Pros: "Great service and fed well!!"
Cons: "4 hour delay but they did give me 5,000 miles. And I think the main problem with the delay was the airports problem of not having parts."
Cons: "Delayed for over 3 hours due to jetbridge being stuck to plane. Basically 2 5.5 hours have taken me 2 full days instead of one"
Cons: "Everything was good"
Pros: "Zero"
Cons: "This airline is the worst. Newark is also the worst airport in America..A match made in hell"
Pros: "Nice newer plane"
Cons: "Absolutely unprofessional corporate culture is blatantly obvious at United. They have learned nothing, and changed nothing, after their multiple recent failures. Flight attendants on this segment openly mocked and spoke ill of passengers loud enough for many other passengers to hear. I will avoid at all costs in the future."
Pros: "It was a regularly good flight, as comfortable as a long flight can be, and I thought the food was pretty good for 'airline food'. Tasty."
Cons: "My ear bud jack happened to not work. No biggie."
Pros: "Paid fee for exit seats. Plenty of room."
Cons: "Exit doors have a draft, not informed ahead when booked. Very chilly with 2 blankets."
Cons: "Sat on the tarmac in Reno for half an hour because of flight control delay from SFO."
Cons: "Flight delayed over 4 hours. When I spoke to the person at he gate when we had to deboard, She was patient in explaining but didn't seem like she wanted to answer my questions in front of everyone else. I walked over to the United customer service desk. Wow. No sense of empathy whatsoever. They gave me the answers to my questions but I almost felt like I had done wrong asking what my options were. Never had an issue with Lufthansa. United customer service is a different story. I will try my best to avoid Lufthansa flights operated by United from now on."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "My flight to Pittsburgh was cancelled and NO attempt to rebook was made by united. No compensation. I had to fly to Cleveland and rent a car for $150 and drive to Pittsburgh. United refused to pay for my rental car. Terrible experience."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "UNITED employees are very rude"
Cons: "Late to board, lots of attitude from seemingly inexperienced and unethusistic crew who bumped me constantly, and seemed annoyed to be there. Constantly hitting me and waking me up. Also my remote was the only one on the plane that didn't work, so I had to spend the whole flight awake getting bumped with no entertainmen"
Pros: "Seats do not decline and make it difficult to nap, generally not much room. Staff was fine."
Cons: "No snacks at all, not even for purchase."
Pros: "Everything went swimmingly"
Pros: "The pasta dinner was good, the seats still had in-screen entertainment, and we got 2 seats together by ourselves!"
Cons: "The very back of the plane. United must have changed the type of plane as our seat assignments didn't make sense. Thankfully, we were able to change them when checking in at Newark airport."
Cons: "Not enough personnel at check-in area generates long waiting timenifnyoubneednassistance."
Cons: "Don't like being squeezed in, but it is what it is"
Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Seat did not recline! My bags did not arrive for 3 days. I had nothing and all i eanted to do was shower after an 18 hr trip."
Pros: "Super friendly funny attendant"
Pros: "During my trip I took 4 united planes. The one from Newark to L.A was the best. They provided blankets and pillows without asking. Also the intertainment was great. They had ano excellent selection of movies. Great staff for Very friendly and professional."
Cons: "Better foodeal options"
Pros: "It is really bad the seat to small for average person not leg room at all it is a flying school bus."
Cons: "Seat was very uncomfortable and window was tight on the shoulders."
Cons: "The only negative was that after waiting to taxi (for almost 10 minutes), we received an announcement that it would be a little longer because they realized that the had yet to re-fuel the plane. That was somewhat alarming."
Pros: "Overall the flight was good - crew were excellent"
Cons: "Very surprised that you had to pay for alcoholic drinks on the flight - as a frequent flier, this was a first on a transatlantic flight"
Pros: "The food was tasty for airline food."
Cons: "The tv on the headrest didn't work."
Pros: "The flight crew was nice and there was no problem with the actual flight. The issue was with the United employees at the check in area."
Cons: "The employees at IAD were grumpy and put off by helping us passengers. The kiosk lines were full so after having waited for a while I went to the actual counter since there we no people in line and the agent chased em back to the kiosk. I felt that that was a very poor reflect of customer service. I expect more from United."
Cons: "Both flights were late !!!!"
Pros: "friendly crew. speedy, reliable flight"
Cons: "insufficient overhead storage. could not accommodate the one carry-on and one personal item room for all passengers."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "No alternative options given. Slow response. No retrieval of email confirmation after purchase of trip. Flight was delayed and no notice was given. Rental car had to ordered last minute and was left without room and board for the night. Had to call again for actual co formation of second flight because no notice was given,"
Pros: "Nothing much"
Cons: "Service needs to be radically improved."
Cons: "Could not get seats together with my daughter even though checked in on-line exactly 24 hrs. prior to flight. No 2 seats together in economy. How can all the seats be taken so quickly? Seems like the airline is just trying to "force" passengers to upgrade their seats to get more money."
Pros: "The gate agent @ Fort Lauderdale was very professional and helpful."
Pros: "Seats were comfy, and the snack (caramel-filled waffle cookie) was a nice little treat."
Cons: "I didn't know to download the United entertainment app in advance. Once I found out at boarding, it was too late."
Pros: "Seating arrangement"
Cons: "The delay and the worry of the door condition"
Pros: "The flight was short 102 people so the attendants were very attentive."
Cons: "A seat with more cushion would be nice for an 8 hour flight."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "My bags were tagged to Dakar but my final destination was Conakry. I was told my United that South African airlines doesn't have a "luggage contract" with ASky so my bags could not be tagged to my final destination. This is bizarre because Kayak didn't inform me of this when I bought my ticket otherwise I would never have bought that flight."
