Good on the Ground, Good in the Air
Review of Lufthansa by
craigt
Advantages: Good connections via Hub airports
Disadvantages: Catering on short haul flights
I have found that Lufthansa has improved a lot in recent years. Connections from the United Kingdom to hub airports like Frankfurt and Munich are really very good.
On the down side, I have always found it difficult to obtain well priced fares direct on their own website, and instead, have opted to search for Lufthansa flights on travel portals, which always seem to come in cheaper. Check out Expedia and eBookers for example.
On the groud, they ...

The worst airline customers service
Review of Lufthansa by
ruckball
Advantages: They have a good web site
Disadvantages: Treat customers like dirt
Lufthansa is horrible when it comes to interacting with customers. I live in Frankfurt, so I get stuck flying Lufthansa all the time. It's torture. Snotty counter people, no help from supervisors, the customer is always wrong, always out of luck. I've been yelled at for allegedly having an oversized carry on when in fact it was a half-empty duffle bag that easily crumpled to a small size.
One time in London, their counter was swamped. I waited ...

Wonderful service
Review of Lufthansa by
licon
Advantages: Great airline
Disadvantages: Frankfurt airport
Flew transatlantic with Lufthansa. Their before-travel service was excellent. Check in staff were helpful, polite and answered all our queries well. The cabin crew were wonderful, fetching us replacement headphones (ours were broken), chatting, bringing extra drinks even before we requested them, and generally being friendly and efficient.
The transition to their US partner United Airlines went smoothly, although onward flight from Washington was ...

Next time I'll try growing wings & fly myself
Review of Lufthansa by
Panthalady
Advantages: Didn't Find One
Disadvantages: The whole thing from check in to lost luggage.
I flew with Lufthansa last February and have to say it was the worst experience of flying I've ever had.
I was flying to Barcelona via Frankfurt and was assured at check-in that my bags would be safely transerred without my having to do anything - mistake number one! Correct that. Mistake number one was flying with Lufthansa in the first place.
The flight crew were dreadful, quite frankly they came across as not caring if their passengers were happy ...

argentinia in comfortable 14 hours
Review of Lufthansa by
girlinlove
Advantages: enough space on long flights
Disadvantages: didnīt mention extra charge on destination airport
Wow...
I had a trip from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires, non-stop flight in the newest version of LH airplanes.
It was a two - level airbus, toilets and crew cabins downstairs.
What was the best:
it had a lot of space for the feet (I think 90 cm?) in all (!) seats. I had a window seat and a seat right in the middle, and it was both very ok.
And: you could easily get up and walk around because of the two levels.
I did a bit of jogging in the ...

Dehydration and boredom
Review of Lufthansa by
hans679
Advantages: Stopover in EU country for duty free on the way home
Disadvantages: The cabin crew
I flew London to Hong Kong via Frankfurt and while it would be wrong of me to condemn the company on one flight, I certainly would never fly long haul with them again.
The flight to Frankfurt was fine - punctual and painless while check in was fast and efficient.
The connecting flight from there however, was simply awful. For some reason, the in flight entertainment would not work and due to having a night flight and the cabin lights being dimmed ...

Advantages: friendly staff who did there best
Disadvantages: everything done on a buget

Lufthansa is my number one airline
Review of Lufthansa by
lovelaura1
Advantages: Fast Check-in Online, punctual flights, Helpful staff
Disadvantages: Food on plane could be better
I am English and I have been in a realtionship with a German guy for 9 years now. I am always flighing backwards and forwards from Heathrow to Munich every month.
When I first started flying frequently I used to get very cheap deals with other top airlines. After many trips and being constantly annoyed by being delayed (BA) or flights cancelled I started just flighing with Lufthansa. It is the best decision I ever made.
I check in online from ...

One of the best!
Review of Lufthansa by
Brassneck
Advantages: Excellent overall service.
Disadvantages:
...- and I would rate Lufthansa as being one of the best all-round airlines.
Firstly, the quality of the cabin crew is exceptional. Always happy to help and very friendly indeed. Secondly, the in-flight catering is above average and is served efficiently and quickly. Finally, the aircraft used always seem to be newish and extremely comfortable. In my opinion for European short-haul only British Airways approaches anywhere near the Lufthansa service.
I ...

Code Shares - Expect Second Class Service
Review of Lufthansa by
pnkearns
Advantages: It flew to Birmingham
Disadvantages: Storm trooper attitude, bureaucratic, lack of service, ignores Star Alliance
I booked a Lufthansa flight on www.lufthansa.com.
Unfortunately for me, Lufthansa issue a code share flight. Naturally, Lufthansa never bothered to indicate codeshare flights anywhere in the purchase. Naturally, Lufthansa never asked me for permission. I found out my flight was a code share after Lufthansa issued the tickets.
What amazed me was the reaction of Lufthansa service people to Lufthansa code share flights. (1) Lufthansa personnel ...

Good airline
Review of Lufthansa by
Slam
Advantages: good service, very secure
Disadvantages: not always the cheapest
...a guided tour on the Lufthansa base at Frankfurt, I am convinced, that the German airline is certainly one of the most secure airlines in the World.
The service (space, entertainment and food) on board altered greatly between Business and Economy class, but the flight personnel was very polite and helpful. In Business class, the cuisine was excellent, the wines very good, and the seat was spacious. The food on Economy class was pretty sad.
In ...
