Seats! The eternal problem in economy. They are like stones!!

The male attended that served are section was a snob. He did not answer my call light when my wine spilled all over the floor. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it. He just ignored the call light when he came to give us our meal, serving the people behind us first. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it to see his reaction. It was so obvious that he was ignoring us. We were in premium economy!

The first half from DC to Paris was very good and the staff were very helpful and humble BUT flight from Paris to Mumbai was sad. 1) it was packed. 2) no space on head compartment 3) crews were unresponsive to the calls 4) one crew member literally banged the bottle of water after giving me glass of water. A little water splashed on me and she was unapologetic 5) with so many hours of flight, little leg space should be taken care else don’t fill your airline till brim which affects your crew and they remove anger on us. 6) huge line for washrooms. 7) 2nd half journey was pathetic

Forty five minutes late for departure. Staff were pleasant. Food was adequate but not outstanding. Entertainment system was very good, as it usually is on Air France.

Generally good. The crew is excellent. The food could be better.

They wanted to close counter although they did not provide the wheelchair requested which ended by going alone to transit security and lost long time and they did not want to wait .

Business class in the second leg - CDG-EVN was a disaster.

We transited through Chad and what was supposed to be a 1hr 20 minutes transit time lasted over 4hrs. We didn't get regular updates until we complained. After a 10hr flight from Paris no form of refreshment given and finally arrived Abuja over 6hrs later and none of my bags came

Lost luggage, 2 bags were badly damaged and one of the bags came open.

The hard product, food, and service are far superior to their North American counterparts

Food too spicy. Very late boarding. Premium Econ seat did not recline.

the food was not good and was such a little amount, also the flight doesnt offer any free snacks at the back of the plane in case any passenger gets hungry. So many other airlines likes klm, air france always offer snack at the back of the plane. A lot of the passenger were complaining during the flight about that the they were hungry even after the meals were served. The variety of movies offer on the individual screens are really not that much, so makes the flight longer and boring

Connecting time in Zurich was 50 minutes. We had to rush due to delay previous flight. To short for our luggage, got it only with 24 hours delay

This was the second time my trip that Swiss lost my luggage from one of their own connecting flights. Really frustrating.

Delay more than hour created pressure to catch the connecting flight

Crammed like sardines into the middle of the middle 4 seat row for an 11 hour flight was a terrible experience. No attempt made to help passengers sleep by dimming lights or shutting window shades. Small mediocre meals. Not enough good movies/TV options. Hopefully we will never have to do this again.

Great food - movie selection was good. Plane was a few minutes late but got to destination on time.

Crew took my carry on and checked it in; turned out to be a blessing; however the luggage was delayed at my final destination; receiving it 36 hours later. Thought, we'd get, at least water; but the Swiss chocolate was delicious. Thanks.

Like the blanket. Food wasn’t good and boarding was a mess

The flight was canceled so it’s stupid to send me this now !!!!!

Flight from Munich to O’Hare was great but it was on Lufthansa, a UA partner. It had more legroom than United, seat slid forward to make reclining more comfortable, they offered free drinks. United offered none of this. Oh and the food was superior to United’s which honestly, sucked.

It was very good. the food was varied and tasty, the movie was the same, maybe I would recommend changing the movie selection every month because my flight to Amsterdam was in September and I came back from Munich en October they are flights so long and we need something to see. But however I liked flying with United

Good food and entertainment. Poor choices for drinks. Sitting for 12 hours on the row by the restrooms, which do not recline, was a torture

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.

In Barcelona had to descend from the aircraft down the steps with heavy bags, and then get on a crowded bus to the terminal

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

My experience on this United Airlines flight was highly uncomfortable, primarily due to two issues: Cabin Temperature: The temperature on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was unacceptably high, feeling consistently around 80 degrees throughout the flight. This made sleeping impossible and significantly detracted from the experience. Seating Arrangement: Being stuck in a middle seat for a six-and-a-half-hour overnight flight compounded the discomfort. Moving forward, I will always purchase a seat assignment to avoid this situation.

I had very little time to change planes originally in Denver after my flight from Omaha. I had an hour and a half layover in Denver originally and my flight leaving Omaha was delayed an hour because they had to change a tire, which I can understand. When I reached Denver my other flight was late, fortunately, but I still had only 10 minutes to run about a mile through the airport to get to my flight. Again, fortunately, I am a healthy 71-year-old and was able to accomplish this feat. However, the stress was more than necessary to bear.

Flight was delayed twice which made our arrival extremely late (actually into next day). Not an easy travel. But when we requested assistance for boarding we were really impressed with how they helped us! Strongly praise their assistance.

every single person involved showed their joy, working in the airline industry - it created a very pleasant atmosphere for everyone

For boarding, after family with youngsters, you should have 65 and over. Whatever rules, enforce them. It’s frustrating for those who respect them to see aggressive people rush to the gate out of turn…

A snack would have been nice instead of having to buy food.

The plane was new. Should give more options on food.

No food other than a tiny snack. The flight is too long for not having a more substantial food option, other than buying the overprices and mostly non-plant-based options from the menu.

It was a refreshing experience from the past few times I have travelled with Air Canada.

rerouted on red eye. arrived 9 hours late with no luggage. still missing after 3 days. up to 45 day to deal with it. SHAME

The crew is super friendly and helpful , boarding was quick and easy , the prices are too high for a an airline that doesn’t provide complementary meals or snacks for long flights

The flight crew was nice and courteous. The food was terrible. There are no in-flight entertainment services, the plane is outdated and dilapidated, and the flight is delayed. Both from Newark and Montreal. Too bad.

Proximity of the the gate to the lounge could have been better but overall a nice experience. The lounge was exceptional. Getting from the Schengen side to the international side was also pain free. Boarding the plane, service on board , disembarking at Heathrow and quick delivery of bags all made for a good overall experience.

Such a comfortable flight! Food was yummy and staff was very friendly! Will absolutely fly Lufthansa again.

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.

There was a stewardess walking up and down and keep spraying room refreshner on people heads and faces. I had to bread this and smell like a room freshener afterwards not to mention was keep falling on my face. It was terrible.

The food was fine. The seats are small but accomidating. The staff was very freindly. I would fly them again happily

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.

Economy plus on a long flight with Lufthansa was wonderful. Service starts with a pillow, blanket, slippers and care package waiting on your seat. An it just gets better from there.

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

Boarding was slow to begin. Economy board should be accomplished from rear of plane to front, as the entrance doors are front of plane. This would eliminate waiting and passenger congestion on the plane. Meals were good however crew will not check if you want meal if sleeping, should be like Emirates and give seat tags wake for meals or do not disturb. Entertainment ok but screen headphone/jacks were distorted - took 3 sets of headphones to get working properly. Flight crew was amazing, exceptionally nice, professional, best Lufthansa crew I have experienced.
