I would like to share my extremely disappointing experience of my recent business class round-trip from Houston, TX to Haneda Airport in Tokyo with a stop in Austin, TX and a two-day layover in Frankfurt with Lufthansa. I am still paying the price, for my unforgettable mistake of booking flights LH716 from Frankfurt to Tokyo on March 22, 2023, and LH717 from Tokyo to Frankfurt on April 17, 2023.
To start, one of our bags was delayed for more than five (5) days, and the airline’s customer service at the Frankfurt Airport was unhelpful in resolving the issue.
During our return trip from Tokyo, we were assigned a seat in the lower deck of the business class section, which was broken, making the 11-hour and 40-minute flight extremely uncomfortable. When we brought this to the attention of the head flight attendant, she was apologetic, but did not offer any solution other than the manual manipulation of the seat, every time we needed to change its position. . Although the flight attendants offered to compensate us for the damaged seat, they changed their minds three (3) times, stating that the compensation was only offered to European travelers, not Americans.
