Overall, everything was fine—the service, the food, and the entertainment—but the boarding process in Lisbon was a total mess. I’m not sure I’d fly with TAP again. It’s absurd to have to pay for good seats at the front of the plane only to board last; the overhead bins above your seat are likely already full thanks to passengers who boarded earlier—even though they might be seated at the back of the plane. I will think very carefully before flying with TAP Portugal again; it seems to me that they need to review their boarding process. I understand the logic of filling the plane from back to front, but the seats at the front are more expensive. Horacio Rodriguez
The crew was excellent. What I did not enjoy was the food. I have taken many international flights and this was on the low end. Otherwise the trip was fine.
Boarding- Good Seat Comfort - OK Crew - Good Food - Mediocre On Time - Very Good
First, communication was terrible. The gate on our ticket was not what was reflected on the airport screens and TAP personnel were not present at either gate to answer questions. The flight was delayed and there was no announcement. Also, there was an equipment swap to a smaller airframe which affected our level of comfort. The root of all these issues was as a lack of communication. With air travel in foreign countries already being a stressful affair, lack of communication needlessly raises the level of difficulty.
Its a short flight with no entertainment. The food was so so.
45 min late. Priority is not a priority as they put everyone in the same bus a than priority become last.
On-time flight. Nothing out of the ordinary. The food offering upfront could be better.
Airline attendant never walks along the isle to check if everyone is ok. The food is worst I’ve experienced. Chicken pasta is very salty while the fish is bland and over-cooked. Only two toilets for the entire economy section.
Of course food only if you pay and no entertainment. As always with TAP they collected hand luggage and you must check in. This happens mostly with TAP and is not acceptable because others are having three pieces or more. TAP should be consequent and collect hand luggage only from those who have more than one piece.
TAP needs to allocate gates at airport. Boarding and disembarking using buses is tortures in hot weather.
Good but I don’t received my bags yet is been 5days still no update
We upgraded to business class. First time on Air Canada business class and they ran out of the better prawn dinner and we got chicken. Beds not as good as on Quantas
Bad, still waiting for my luggage, since I arrive 5 days ago
The air hostesses were pleasant and helpful Food was great
Delays were reported timely. The waiting area was a joke, it was caious the loading was delayed and not reported clearly. Their was disgruntled passengers. The personel tried their best but the organization failed the customer and the present personnel. There was no planning causing poor exicusion.
Fine. The plane took off and landed. Food was as expected. Less than comfortable flight.
Over 4 hour delay in departure. Aircraft and gate changes. Problems loading cargo. It was a mess.
Lufthansa was the code share partner for this trip, on an old, worn-out 747. We were in business class and my seat was broken. Would not keep the seat inflated (first time I have ever seen a seat use air bags for padding). Had to use three blankets underneath me to not feel the hard plastic of the seat. Food was very average. For $7,500, I expected way, way more. Never flying Lufthansa again (second bad business class flight this year).
Lufthansa flight was late leaving Toronto. Rescheduled us on another connecting “flight” to Leipzig even before we left Toronto. The gate agent gave us boarding cards for the second flight and assigned us new seats. But when we go to Frankfurt, it was total confusion. The terminals in the airport showed our new flight was going to Nurnburg, not Leipzig. No one from Lufthansa would help us inside the airport. After spending 45 minutes getting through passport control, we finally went to a Lufthansa counter and they told us that the “flight” was actually a train to Nurnburg, with a stop in Leipzig. Long, hot train ride (4 hours). Ironic part is that the flight to Frankfurt was almost on time and we would have made the flight to Leipzig and been there in the early morning, not the late afternoon. At least European laws will allow a penalty of EUR 800 to each of us for that inconvenience (unlike Canada) but it was an ordeal that I would gladly had given up that penalty for. The 747 that Lufthansa used for this trip was also very worn out. We paid the extremely overpriced fare for business class of $7,500 return to Germany from Toronto and expected far, far more for that price. The lie-flat seats were extremely uncomfortable (way past their “expiry date”). Flight attendants were helpful but I need 4 blankets underneath me to not feel the plastic under the seat. Food was pretty mediocre, too. We had another mediocre Lufthansa experience coming back from Croatia this past July, with an even older plane. Lesson learned: avoid Lufthansa business class!
Overall a good flight. Good food and super nice staff.
Awful. The Iceland airport was a complete mess. Boarding was a chaotic, the seats were awful, there was a group of rowdy 20 something men in our row hooting and hollering, ordering alcoholic drink after drink. Yelling and laughing at the top of their lungs and the crew just went along with it. Passengers complained to the men, asking if they could keep it down (it was a night time flight so people wanted to sleep). They never listened crew continued to laugh with them, flirt with them and serve them more drinks. No free food or snacks, seats were horribly uncomfortable. Worst flight I've had in a long time
Screen didn't work, and neither did the button to tilt the seat even though the seat was comfortable
Problems checking in both on the laptop and on the app. No free seating available at check-in as advertised - must pay for EVERY seat between $23 and $75. No way to cancel seat choice. App menus and site menus are not responsive, and some items are impossible to find. Crew and mobile assistance are friendly and helpful.
No meals included on this long international flight. Most airlines will offer you a meal when flying internationally. Not Icelandair. Your included choices are water and coffee. Poor customer service. The airport was also very confusing.
Only serving 2 small coffee in 7.5 hrs flight with very limited choice to order food.
Booked with Kayak… Economy Class it said. I had filtered for 1 checked bag. Get to boarding and it says I have Economy Light w/ no checked bags. $136 each way for baggage now. Do not use smartfares.com. Very misleading and a terrible start to this trip.
Overall good. I was surprised how easy it was to get from plain to plain in such a short time. Food choices were not so great and quite expensive. Entertainment was ok. Flights were smooth.
The staff was really friendly and was comfortable. I found it disappointing that we were never offered any snacks while on the flight. For such a long flight and the amount we paid for our ticket that was unacceptable. Not sure if I’ll fly Icelandair again.
One small complaint: people in economy frequently were coming through the curtain to use the saga lavatory.
On time and crew were good. Our seating arrangements in biz class were messed up, separated us as a couple and bulkhead seating not good for long legs.
The service and food was excellent. The remote control for entertainment did not function properly.
All was good, except my USB charging did not work, so my phone got drained and I could not charge it. Same happened to my neighbour.
Not bad. We had preboarding tickets but the preboarding was badly managed. We lined up behind all the parents with little kids etc and when we got to the front of the line the attendant deliberately turned away from us and ignored us until I asked to be allowed to go to the gate. She started telling us that we had to wait until I told her we had preboarding then she let us through.
Everything well done and customer oriented There entertainment system is difficult to navigate
They delayed my flight from Toronto Pearson for one hour and Frankfurt to Abuja for 2HRS, So sad
The aircraft was old, there was no charging sockets, and the seats were narrow and uncomfortable even though I had exit row premium seats.
The service was really good. The breakfast food could’ve been better as I don’t eat sweets for breakfast and the only choice was a muffin. Overall, good experience though. Thank you.
Crew had connection details for only 2 other flights and gave less than empathetic guidance.
Everything was fine except that the ground personnel in Toronto wasn't able to operate the jet bridge, so that everybody was stuck in the plane after landing for 40 min, so I missed my connection.
They have more than 4 hours delay, and broken all my bags
Part of our luggage was lost and we had to wait 48 hours before receiving it. Also someone had to wait in the hotel to get it!!! Frustrating & disappointing
Condor computers constantly shut down. They had to book entire 747 off one computer. Condor does not leave enough time for their own scheduled layovers in Frankfurt. It is not possible to get through customs and to the gate on time. Both trips were a mess. Condor was so bad that they had to book half the people on Lufthansa to complete their journey. I do not recommend Condor for any reason for anyone.
We missed our connecting flight in Frankfurt due to being stuck in the passport line for two hours. Condor said they would not help us because we had a one hour layover which is enough time. When I explained that the line took two hours, they acknowledged that the line is that way but that is the airport and not them. We are now stuck in Frankfurt for two days and it has cost us $500.
The security check between our connecting flights at Frankfurt was a cluster. Horrible quality control with everyone cutting the line. We were in line for over an hour. Condor was nice enough to keep the gate open for us but it was incredibly stressful with two elderly women.
I used Kayak.com to buy plane tickets, which sent me to Underpricer. Immediately upon buying the tickets I started getting phone calls telling me that my "tickets were not guaranteed" unless I paid more money. I told them that if they've sold me on just the idea of a ticket, and not an actual ticket, then refund my money immediately. We argued, but they eventually said they would do that. They didn't, I refused the charge on my CC, the CC company eventually charged me anyway, and Underpricer still didn't cancel that ticket because I kept getting alerts to get on that flight. In complaining to Underpricer, they insist that it's my fault and that the most they can do is refund the fees. This company is using deceptive practices and harassing people, and the company needs to be banned from Kayak and from doing business in the US.
I had pre-booked a seat but when I checked in it was not assigned to me. I spoke to the agent upon arrival and was upgraded to Economy Plus, which was fantastic.
Could have a friendlier crew. The entertainment should be updated to be more current
The crew was great. Good etc was unacceptable for an overseas flight. Wine with a meal should be complimentary. Seat comfort /space horrible and I am 5‘3“ with heels on. Short haul probably ok but not on long haul flights
Seats are not comfortable. Some of the food was good and some not so good.
Seats were not comfortable, and the problems started when we landed at Frankfurt airport. We waited more than 3 hours to collect our luggage, as a result we missed the connected train to Brussels. Our plans for the trip were ruined that day.
