I m a SKY TEAM LOYAL CLIENT, MEA is also one good AIRLINE, that I do use in all my trips to the region, since 53 years, I m 180 days per year in the sky, MEA is a great airline, to have survived the Lebanese crises, until now,
I was not given my boarding passes by MEA for my connection flights in Rome and then Munich because I did not have boarding passes, I was asked to go through customs in Rome to check in so I was delayed and missed my flight
MEA is a reputable and well managed airline. I have always a good experience when travelling with it
No speakers provided for inflight entertainment which was available but couldn’t hear volume with no speakers. Check in by arrogant crew One piece policy for checkin despite being underweight weight limit in 2 pieces not allowed and ridiculous. Attitude of some arrogant air hostesses not appreciated. Many were polite however.
They switched back and refurbished BA 787 instead of the nicer airbus 380 planes. Service is lacking and one of the worst lounges I have ever visited.
No USB to charge the mobile. The seats don’t recline.
The plane is very clean. Food is acceptable given the short trip. Crew is very friendly .
I am Syrian and I travel over 6 times every year but MEA is proofing it deserves all the respect.
A321 is a small aircraft so I think the crew did there best from the point where I was sitting!
Wonderful new plane, very helpful and friendly crew, amazing flight entertainment system, and many other great things. Yet, the knefeh meal I had was so dry and poor to an extent that I was about to shoke with a tiny piece of it entering my airways. Apart from this everything was excellent. Thank you MEA & RHIA !
Check in, was fine, boarding was good, we left on time, punctual flight, aircraft condition was also good, Boeing 737-600 , all went well, I did not expect more or any better
Flight changed and cancelled several times over the months in advance that I booked it. However, actual flight went well, no delays, spacious seats. Had some landing issues but otherwise, fine. Also loved that they don’t check weight of luggage!
Seats are disaster, not comfortable at all. With my height 183 cm there were no space for my legs... The airplane was Turkish airlines and no entertainment on board.
Bad. Cancelled and delayed flight. Payed 25£ for seat but got just normal one. No one refunded the money.
Pretty bad. No welcome drink (the Lufthansa signature drink they advertised but did not serve). No 2 round of beverages. No coffee to end your meal. No snack before landing on an overseas flight. Mediocre everything and unattentive staff. Munich and Frankfurt as connecting flight airports are terribly big (20 min walk for transfer!) and confusing. Will not fly again.
No food available for purchase on a 2:30h flight around lunchtime… Lufthansa hand luggage policy and behaviour makes you feel you’re on Ryanair but paid three times as much
My premium economy experience did not live up to my minimum expectations. I've taken this flight twice in the last three weeks, and each experience was the same. The premium economy seat was worn and extremely difficult to recline. It took two people to return it to its takeoff and landing position. The food was OK, but for the premium that a premium economy seat cost, I expect a satisfying meal. Years ago, I looked forward to the experience of flying transatlantic on Lufthansa (I especially enjoy the hot towel before the meal), but this is not been my experience recently. I'm not going to use Lufthansa again.
If was mostly my own fault. I booked and paid for a window seat. That was a mistake for a long flight. It was hard to get up and use the bathroom. The entertainment system seemed primitive for a modern aircraft.
It was a safe and smooth flight. Members of the crew at the second level, business could have been more polite and engaging.
Our seats were not together - one on upstairs business class, the other nicer downstairs business class. Terrible!! A very nice agent worked hard with other passengers & got us upstairs together. Not ideal experience. Check in agent should have caught that! Asked about upgrade to first class for additional $2500 each. Refused upgrade saying we upgraded once already. We booked on business class to begin with so we’re NOT happy!!
Everything was good except the seats we originally picked we did not get when we paid for extra leg room. Had to wait till last minute to get assigned our seats which was nerve racking
We particularly liked the cabin crew who assisted us in understanding how to use some novel features of the seats at the front of the premium economy cabin. The flight attendants were uniformly friendly and helpful. My only complaint, which I didn't include above, is that for the additional cost of premium economy, the seats and amenities weren't that different from regular economy to justify a roughly $5,000 price difference. We still had three row seats and no out the window view whatever. I have already mentioned in a previous review the disaster of Lufthansa not recognizing the inevitable delays in transfer flights due ti new EU regulations for non-EU travelers. We missed flights, lost luggage and spent the first three days of our vacation in Bologna taking cab trips to the airport to see if our luggage had arrived, which it finally did. On a more positive note, the United employee who was assisting passengers at Gate 18 in Washington DC, boarding for Boston, went out of his way to help us book another flight when we missed our first one to SFO due to the transfer delays caused by US Customs. He appeared of middle eastern descent, was extremely kind and helpful when we were stuck without any flight--he got us one shortly afterwards.
Some of the flight connections did not board by group members, a bit disorderly! Other wise all good, flight attendees were friendly and professional
I liked the whole trip was very good. However the food is getting worse and worse in the flight from the state to Frankfort and vice-versa.
