Lufthansa is my number one airline

Advantages: Fast Check-in Online, punctual flights, Helpful staff
Disadvantages: Food on plane could be better

...before your flight departs. You are able to choose your own seat. I just turn up to the airport 45 minutes before my plane takes off. No messing around in long queues anymore!! Lufthansa is definitely my number one choice for an airline (to germany anyway!) ...

Review of Lufthansa

Excellent loyality programme

Advantages: one of the best programmes around
Disadvantages: :-)) you do have to fly or spend money

...( in UK for example Lufthansa Miles and More credit card issed by MBNA with 6000 bonus miles on offer when you join) Their website is very informative and offers every service posible online. The flight awards start from 15000 miles (smart ticket) and you can book online on a short notice (48 hours) They offer award flights not only on Lufthansa but across whole of Star Alliance network of airlines, so in most cases there is always a good choice ...
...Miles and More balance to fly business class from London to Moscow on Swiss airines. I booked 2 days in advance and all I needed was 25000 mile + 80 GB pounds in taxes and fees. All though I used my miles I still had opportunity to use full business class services including access to lounges which is not the case with all the loyality programmes. Overall, I would reccomend it to anybody. It does not cost you a thing and eventually you will end ...

Review of Lufthansa Miles & More

German efficiency? Not in Valencia.

Advantages: Few. Possibly that I left the airport in under 24 hours.
Disadvantages: No interest in or respect for customer welfare during extreme wait.

...to Palma de Mallorca via Air Berlin. We were through to the departure lounge by 11.30am and waited patiently for our flight. 12.25 came and went without news other than the 'delayed' message on the TV screens, and nobody, including my partner and me, was quite sure whether to leave the departure lounge or wait for news as there were very few airport staff present to ask for information. Eventually, at 13.30 approximately, two Air Berlin representatives ...
...was offered to us by Air Berlin despite requesting us to wait for the representatives' return. By this time furious with the lack of interest in either ourselves or our possessions (would it have been so difficult to let us know where our baggage was?) we went up to the Air Berlin desk where a huge crowd of angry customers had gathered. You may ask why we didn't leave the departure lounge earlier: without any information for an hour after the due ...

Review of Air Berlin

35,000 FT and climbing.

Advantages: VERY cheap, comfortable, great service, expanding route.
Disadvantages: Check-in and boarding can be less than fun.

I have completed five separate return trips with 'Hapag-Lloyd Express' (HLX) over the last 18 months, as both a business and leisure traveller, and I have to say that my opinions of the airline continue to gain some altitude! All of my journeys have been from Manchester, including the early-evening route to Cologne and three to Stuttgart, which depart at a similar time. There are in fact three flights with the airline that leave Manchester's terminal ...
...route to Hannover, the company's headquarters. HLX took to the skies in 2002 and is slowly beginning to expand its network around Europe, including flights to the Med with the airlines bigger sisters, 'ThomsonFly' (formerly Britannia Airlines) and the German equivalent 'HapagFly'. This summer HLX have been flying 18 aircraft to 36 destinations, and here is my first tip for fellow Brits...if you have the time, check the price of flights to Germany ...

Review of Hapag Lloyd

What do you expect for £13.00?

Advantages: cheap, nice aircraft
Disadvantages: take off times

This was the first time I had used a 'budget' airline flying from Birmingham Airport to Cologne - the only direct flight available - previously we had to fly into Dusseldorf by BA and get a taxi (£60). The flight was cheap (£13.00 per person - each way) and the plane was brand new. It left on time and arrived on time both ways so no complaints there. Food and Drink was extra but quite reasonably priced - coffee £2.00 a cup. The flights were about ...
...Plenty of leg space and no extra charges for luggage. What do you expect for £13.00? Only two small gripes - the take off times, 7.40am from Birmingham (at airport 6.40am) and 6.40am (UK time - 5.40am) back from Cologne together with a feeling that it was a case of 'all pile on' whilst boarding. But then again, What do you expect for £13.00! ...
