Lufthansa > Reviews

Advantages: Was cheaper at the last minute, free food, assigned seating
Disadvantages: Unless you are going to Germany you have to connect

...some more, and found that Lufthansa was offering a price of just over £100 including taxes. Sure, I had to fly from Heathrow, which is always a joy, and change in Frankfurt. But to save well over 100 quid, why not? Plus I could get miles on my Air Canada plan. I used to fly LH a lot in the 70s, transatlantic from Geneva via Frankfurt, so it was fun to try them out now. I booked online and was "issued" an e-ticket. Lufthansa has several check ... Read review

Advantages: Quick check in
Disadvantages: Poor services on board

...last August bank holiday by Lufthansa and was dismayed by the way I was treated on the journey there. In City airport I was fine I had no problems checking in and boarding and was surprised that the plane actually left on time which is very rare for me when flying. To Berlin Firstly the air steward went through the safety procedure in German then English. The English version seemed a lot shorter which alarmed me as I managed only to catch ... Read review

Advantages: Clean, and... that's about it...
Disadvantages: Poor service, No Personal screens, Pathetic legroom, Poor experience all round

...that I am never flying Lufthansa again, full stop. First, it was packed. There wasn't one free seat. Lufthansa you see, doesn't believe in leaving a little room for error's sake. They pack em' in. In such a film-packed season (halfway through 2004's summer movie time) there wasn't a huge amount on offer. "Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights" sounded somewhat rude and not the sort of thing you'd let your children watch (springing to mind several rather ... Read review

Advantages: The planes have wings
Disadvantages: Staff, brand image, general airline persona

...tired. I actually hate the colours Lufthansa use, they remind me of a new born baby's jaundice. i.e. a murkily type of yellow. The in-flight magazine was useless and I didn't even bother with the radio, infact I'm not even sure there was a radio. The planes themselves seem on the old side, and quite well used, the seats were fairly comfortable. Well anyway that’s the last time I fly with Lufthansa. ... Read review

Advantages: Flew to Frankfurt
Disadvantages: If there is a pilots strike they will abandon you

...may not be aware that Lufthansa are presently going through a number of pilots strikes. I certainly was not aware until I got to our offices in Mainz and they said that these strikes were happening every Thursday. I was due to fly back 22:20 by Lufthansa. There was then a huge amount of confusion as to whether the flight would run. The agents initially said yes, then no, then yes. On this basis we went to Frankfurt Airport to get the flight. The ...

Advantages: Punctualily and frequency provided their pilots are not on strike
Disadvantages: Congested, Business Class seats too small

...therefore transferred my ticket to Lufthansa from Bombay to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Rome. Lufthansa use a 747 from Bombay to Frankfurt so I was expecting good things since Alitalia use a smaller MD-11 aircraft and since I had never travelled on Lufthansa previously. As soon as I entered the aircraft and approached my seat all my expectations were gone. The Business Class section is huge. They must be having at least 80 seats. The seats ... Read review

Advantages: clean , efficient, good value
Disadvantages: not generous inflight

...to connect at Heathrow with Lufthansa to Frankfurt and then on to Amman in Jordan also with Lufthansa. Checking in the baggage was easy and we were checked in all the way to Amman and our seats were assigned all the way too so we were all three of us sat together.We had a 3 hour wait at Heathrow which gave time for shopping and the change in Terminals from 1 to 2.The first Lufthansa flight was from here to Frankfurt and the plane was a very clean ...

Advantages: legroom, good customer service
Disadvantages: small snack unless first class traveller

...rat problem) and took a Lufthansa return to Hanover airport. Why Lufthansa? They were the cheapest - but with respect, there's not a huge choice of carriers. The plane was amazing. It was quite small, but had leather seats throughout. Not only were the seats leather, but also I had ample legroom. No deep vein thrombosis for me! You don’t get a decent meal- a sandwich and a drink only on this flight. First class get the full Monty, but ... Read review

Advantages: frequency
Disadvantages: food

...regular Economy class traveller with Lufthansa for 1 year between Heathrow and Frankfurt. From my experiences with other airlines I would rate them as 'average'. The flights I had were almost always overbooked leading to myself joining the standby queue on occasions. Despite the overbooking and delays leaving Frankfurt, the majority of my flights landed on time which I see as a very good quality of service. The food in Economy is of a poor standard, ...

Advantages: Good service, relatively nice surroundings.
Disadvantages: Fellow passengers...

...if trying not to scream. The Lufthansa stewardesses are more accustomed to business types, and will gladly take care of your needs. Just don't pinch their arses or say things like 'wahey!' to your mate...they're just not ready for it. Settle down into your imitation leather seat and prepare for the flight. Perhaps the main drawback of flying with Lufthansa is that you have to travel with quite a lot of Germans. I'm not saying that in a typical ... Read review

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: unreliable, poor food

...have flown 4 times on Lufthansa recently. What can I say? You get what you pay for! My flight between Munich & London Stanstead was great value at about £70. To get this price though you must get someone in Germany to book the ticket for you. Otherwise it's almost double this price to book from the UK. Their baggage policy is reasonable - they allow two pieces of hand luggage and up to 70kg of luggage. I was not pleased when I was told that ... Read review

Advantages: good value, comfort, service
Disadvantages: food

...eventually ended up on a Lufthansa flight which cost £163 (inc airport tax). Outbound, the flight was from Birmingham International Airport to Dusseldorf then to Lyon. Inbound, it was from Lyon to Munich then back to Birmingham. I hgave to say that this was an inconvenience, having to change, but nevertheless the waiting time for each connection was only about 20-30 minutes. It was my first time flying but the stewards and stewardesess were ... Read review
