LATAM’s crews are fine, but God help you if you need any customer service. Their app and website never work, with error after error. Trying to solve anything over the phone is painful, and lastly, the boarding pass LATAM gave me to board the flight with Delta was invalid and I had to purchase an emergency one-way ticket at the last minute to get home.

LATAM’s crews are fine, but God help you if you need any customer service. Their app and website never work, with error after error. Trying to solve anything over the phone is painful, and lastly, the boarding pass LATAM gave me to board the flight with Delta was invalid and I had to purchase an emergency one-way ticket at the last minute to get home.

Latam may be the worst airline in the world, far worse than even the lowest of low cost airlines in the USA. I wasted hours trying to PAY THEM TO CHECK A BAG! Then they misled me at the terminal, sent me through the wrong security line, the list goes on and on... Just absolutely terrible in every way. Avoid at all costs.

Really bad experience – delayed for 6 hours without any notice, no food or drinks provided, and stuck in the horrible Cartagena airport.

No entertainment but not expected. Unless you are referring to monitor that you can use. Then Al, was fine on all flights.

Very slow boarding, 1 hour late - uncomfortable chairs and crew barely speaking english even at the airport!

Great customer service, very accommodating. (Check in) Smooth flight, thank you Pilots. Only negative was one working bathroom in first class. Atlanta Base flight attendants were wonderful. Thank you for your smiling faces Delta..

The crew was super friendly and respectful, they made me feel well all the fly , thanks delta

My experience it was okay but have many thinks to be better. For example the food, the comfort.

We had 2 delayed LATAM flights in our trip. We were only given one coffee for 5 hours delay. Also when we were boarding the crew wanted to charge us for our allowed carry on luggage. I got a bit angry and they finally didn’t charge anything. Not flying with LATAM again.

the flight from Boston to Curitiba was on time actually 30 minutes earlier. latam was not able to unload the luggage for custom checkup in Sao Paulo ii took two and half hours . i missed the flight to Curitiba spend the night in hotel and then flying in the morning to Curitiba

Seats had no charging ports. Our plane was rerouted to Boston and we were landed on the tarmac with no food or water for 3 hours (illegal). We then waited in the airport for 3 hours while staff had no information regarding where our bags were or when we were going to get them.

Didn't make announcements during boarding, flight attendant seemed annoyed when I asked for water. Too many hours between flights. Confusing check in at the Lisbon airport.

Absolutely unacceptable level of service for a Business class: lousy drink and food options, disgusting food (inedible meat, watery rice, etc...), pathetic level of attentiveness from staff, Business class restrooms were not accessible for long periods because blocked of by staff...overall extremely disappointing, will NEVER fly Business on TAP again.

The plane was small and one felt the turbulence much more. The lines to get through immigration were insanely long.

Flew Business class and did not like anything, flight attendants were rude and not helpful. Food was of poor quality and I did not eat meals.

Our steward Margarida who served us from Lisbon to Boston was absolutely fantastic! She deserves a raise. Conscientious and thorough as well as showing appropriate attention for every need.

Comfortable but not Polaris or Delta comfort Business Class. Overall 7 out of 10

I fell from the stairs while carrying a baby on the way to the bus to take us to the plane because TAP is too cheap to pay for a proper gate on their hub airport (not even an elevator). Plus, they were late (which they always are). Terrible airline.

A bit disappointing. Our business class seats were not cleaned from previous flight. They were also missing headphones and bottled water. Dining options were not always available.

I have been flying internationally for most of like. My first trip with TAP- wonderful! I look forward to flying with them more frequently in the future!

Everything was on time and easy. Food in business class was great. There was no entertainment on board, though with business class you could get free internet, but so spotty it wasn't worthwhile.

They could have provided more than a premade mass produced tina sandwich for a 10 hour delay and/or had something available on oars other than potat chips once we boarded. They also could have not lost our luggage. Or barring that, at least foled a claim for us once we landed. Instead all of those things happened and they told us if we wanted to file a claim to do so online. I laid for business class for both of us. What an incredible waste of money.

My flight being automatically moved messed up my travel plans, and I had to quickly find an alternative mode of transportation. I couldn’t get a refund from any of the companies involved. Kayak, Ibiza, or Vueling. I am still unsure of how to settle my concern.

This is where i leave an airline review. Test test test!

Paid for my seat 4 months ago. Did not pay the extra for specific seat assignment ( never have and never was a problem). Could not electronically check in (found out it was due to overbooking and that unassigned seats get bumped first - never happened to me before). Luckily, did make the flight. Very stressful - would have been extremely disruptive for my travel plans. UK Visa - never notified by Kayak or BA that a visa was required. Had to spend 15 minutes to download and complete app at the flight counter and pay $25, and was told they would let me know in 3 days if I would get it (flight landing in 10 hours from when I completed app). Luckily, visa was approved before landing. Unnecessary stress created here. Food - main meal, curry chicken barely palatable with unrecognizable vegetable. Desert cup, cheesecake, also barely palatable. Salad cup was good. Small water offered only 3 times (before main meal, at main meal, at morning snack) - not nearly enough for long flight.

business class food was pretty average otherwise it was a good experience

I never took the flight. I bought the ticket in Kayak by mistake, right away, within the first 10 minutes I realized it and check to cancel. Kayak did not let me and sent me to Iberia saying, in order to cancel or change, you have to call the airline, which I did. Iberia ditched me off saying, you have to talk to whoever you bought it from, Kayak. so you 2 were passing the ball to each other. So I called my credit company, cancelled the transaction, and I swore never ever to use either Kayak or Iberia and I did, I flew with Air France and Delta to all over Europe, thank you and take me out of your subscription.

Good food, prompt and timely flight, good on-board personnel

All went smoothly, no problems; friendly crew. I would have appreciated a head pillow ;)

Never made this flight it was unconfirmed by Iberia according to American Airlines This trip was a total nightmare, got to the airport in Wed March 8th after confirming all flights, only to be told by American Airlines that we are not confirmed on the flight. We met a pretty rude and unhelpful AA check in agent by the name of Ali. American said it was not their problem, contact Kayak/Chatdeal and sort out your issue.Chatdeal said all flights were confirmed and it is the airlines fault. So it went, we were kicked between American, Kayak and Iberia spending hrs on the phone- all said it is not their fault.Spent 9 hrs in the airport on Wed 15th trying to sort out. Luckily, we met a really nice AA agent Shawnna G who went way beyond the call of.duty to help us out. We were put the next day on Thurs 16th from DfW to San Paulo Brazil the onto Madrid!! Imagine that..10000 miles and 20hrs of travelling to get to Madrid from Dallas!! Our trip took 3 days to get there ..Wed 8th Thurs 9th and Fri 10th.Got there on Sat 11th, so lost 2 days of our vacation and a lot of emotional and physical stress on our 2 kids travelling with us.

I respectfully request that Air Europa consider the delay of my baggage, the damage to my suitcase, and the missing personal belongings and other items from inside my suitcase as part of my claim

There are often trade-offs involved with flying cheaper airlines. With Air Europa, their crowd control is terrible--the line at check-in in Madrid was absolutely hideous 3 hours before departure. These 787 "Dreamliners" are cheaply-made and uncomfortable. And disembarking at JFK was horrid...it was 11 p.m., yet we were force to deal with those off-site shuttle buses, presumably because Air Europa doesn't want to pay what it costs for an actual gate. But as usual, the worst aspect of Air Europa flights are tones fellow passengers: unruly and oblivious to such concepts as personal space. The crew was, on the other hand, lovely.

No WiFi on the plane. Crew was insensitive to my medical supplies and medicine in my carry on. If the crew was monitoring passengers putting 2 bags in overhead bins there would be room. We sat for 2 hours extra. Iberojet is horrible never again.

Sitting space was very tight, so eating was difficult. But everything else was good.

I flew business class, at breakfast I asked for a small bottle of olive oil instead of butter and the flight attendant responded with a negative gesture.

They didn't even give us water, everything was sold

Very small dinner, NO breakfast. You have to buy an earphone.

Probably will never use this air line again. Rude miserable staff. Uncomfortable seats.

The flight, the staff and the airplane were all fantastic. I highly recommend.

Impossible to check in via the App. Kept on getting emails offering upgrade. When followed through not available. Wasn't any food anyway.

Again another extremely chaotic boarding for the flight. Could have easily opened up more automated gates and the staff could have proactively managed the queues as they're forming rather than sitting behind the counter, waiting for the boarding to start.

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!

The flight from FRA to SFO was uncomfortable. The crew allowed people to change seats after boarding finished, but then made some people move back to their seats but not others, which resulted in my wife and I having to sit in two middle seats for an 11 hour flight. The entertainment system was not working well throughout the flight, and stopped working completely around hour 8.

Review what was entered already in the same booking. Not sure we will use Arrant Grant, given what happened!

Great service food was very good and overall experience was great !!

When I fl with Bulgarian air, I am greeted with a bottle of water and a packaged cleaning wipe. There is a hot sandwich and a drink offered afterwards. Towards the end of the flight, there is a piece of chocolate and per request an additional water bottle. For the price that Lufthansa charges per ticket, it is embarassing that other airlines can offer better customer service quality on board. Also, some of the Lufthansa flight attendants act very entitled instead of being customer focused. Regularly the mobile lift for diabled passengers is missing... Every time when I fly with my 89 year old mother, she is being questioned multiple times whether it is okay to use the stairs ( she walks with two canes). Most of the times when we arrive in Frankfurt, the mobile lift is missing and she is urged to use the staircase. When I refuse to allow this, the flightattendants look at me scornfully. This is not WW2 where disabled people should be treated as second hand people... Then we all have to wait another 30 to 40 minutes on the airplane, while waiting for the mobile lift to arrrive. Does Lufthansa have enough money to waste on an airplane waiting for (on the average) 30 min for the mobile lift to come? I fly frequently and have experience mostly with Delta, United, Southwest and other American Airlines. Lufthansa needs to pick up their game on board, if they want to stay competitive and in the game...

The Linate Milano flight was delayed. Landed at Frankfort at 12:10. Then took the bus on the tarmac and the bus ride was about 20 minutes due to the airport traffic. Got off bus went to passport control, used the kiosk scanned passport, took photo and finger prints and proceeded to wait in line. I asked the attendant that I had a connecting flight at 12:50 his respond was you have to ask the other travelers in line to let you go ahead. There should be a better system. Passed passport control and the gate was at Z69 to the other end of airport. Ran there out breath, I was last person to board due to a mechanical:electrical issue plane took off 2 hours later. Lufthansa need to a better job with international connecting flight. A 1-15 minutes is not enough considering the doors typically close 15 minutes prior to take off. So the window is reduced to 1 hour with all you have to go through with a slight delay it is not enough time. The crew on the flight was excellent and received exceptional customer service.

Keep an eye on your seat assignments - ESPECIALLY if you paid for upgraded seats - the airline moved us out of our prepaid seats THREE TIMES and I could only resolve it by calling customer service - who was very helpful. Expect to carry your bags down several flights of stairs for boarding on the tarmac.

It flight had a maintenance issue, that should be part of of preventative maintenance, and then they completely mismanaged the passengers on the buses. A terrible experience.

Absolutely horrible. We missed both of our connecting flights from Frankfort due to the new border control lines. Lufthansa had us running and walking around the airport trying to rebook. They were not prepared to offer us a hotel room for the night, but finally relented when I said I was done with Lufthansa, most were not so lucky. I also put put of the blame in Kayak. You need to update which connecting flights you are offering to allow for more time to deal with the mess that is border control in the EU.
