Lufthansa

Lufthansa provides a great service and I feel very safe flying with them. During my flight I suddenly felt unwell. The crew was amazingly professional. In a split second I had 2 doctors attending to me as I noticed the crew had arrange the doctor to change seat and seat behind me just in case. I fly regularly Lufthansa and other airlines and when I have the choice I prefer Lufthansa.

Lufthansa has really gone down hill especially for customer service. Don’t bother phoning their contact centre or e-mailing for help. Feedback functionality seems to be permanently down on the website. I got a lot of standard scripted answers but no help. Very disappointed!

Traveling with an Infant? please do yourself a favour and skip traveling with Air Canada and Luftansa. Let me provide you a little background, I had booked a ticket on #Makymytrip from Bombay to Vancouver on Air Canada and it was a code share with Swiss and Lufthansa. When we booked the ticket we had to confirmed/booked an infant seat and then called Air Canada to request for a baby bassinet for my 8 month old. At the time of the booking I was told that the request was put in and that I was to call 24 hours prior to reconfirm and also speak to the gate agent. Makemytrip had also confirmed the same. I had called Air Canda from Vancouver and confirmed that they see our bookings are attached and the bassinet request is notated to the ticket. Everything was confirmed. Even spoke to Luftansa re-confirming the same. When I get to the Vancouver airport at 12:45 Pm for a flight that is scheduled to depart at 4:30 PM, (the counters hadn’t open yet). The ground staff in Vancouver are horrible !!! I was traveling with a 8 month old and had arrived early knowing it’s better to get everything done so I could feed and tend to my daughter and grab some lunch. But that didn’t happen, and none of the staff was sympathetic that my daughter who was screaming and crying and hungry!! My daughter ticket was showing but wasn’t attached to my ticket and none of the staff knew what they were doing or rather throwing it on to the next person “as I’m not gonna deal with this“ I was sent to #aircanada country the Luftansa staff with a crying baby because the Lufthansa staff kept saying it will be faster if they can do the ticketing. When I went to the Air Canada counter, they sent me back saying it was #Lufthansa issue. Even they didn’t seem to care. I had to wait 3 hours !!! That is not a joke !! We were the last to board !! We hadn’t eaten or drank anything instead had to literally run to catch our flight. Miss Shirley Ma who was trying to attach the ticket was the rudest person I ever met made me feel like I was 2nd class because I was flying with a child instead of trying to accommodate me. I was crying my son had to step in and I had try and calm myself and feed my daughter who was exhausted at this point. I am still overwhelmed at how the Lufthansa staff was so unsympathetic and slow. Worst of the ground staff at Vancouver airport !! I have travelled a lot and am still so shocked how they treated me. Even the senior staff at the counter didn’t care !! They didn’t want to help!! I will be posting this in all travel blogs and all travel forums because any one traveling with a infant from Vancouver with Lufthansa needs to know what they will be dealing with. And Lufthansa needs to know their ground staff unsympathetic behaviour and the worst customer service. Especially Shirley Ma treatment of the situation and how I am so deeply hurt at how she treated me. I strongly caution all mothers and fathers traveling with infants, please confirm the class of travel that your ticket is and the infant ticket class and make sure that it is attached before you go to the airport. Thank you, Nadia Sunesra

I flew with Lufthansa twice in life and both times they’ve lost the luggage. Customer service is terrible, both on the counter and by phone. Instead of apologizing for theis mistake they were mocking us, on the phone after making me wait 28 minutes they just hung up while I was still talking. Food on board was aweful, the pasta was chewy and smelled terrible and the bread was from at least 2 days before. I’ve definitely had much better food with lots of other air companies and I do travel a lot for work and for leasure. Hostesses and stewards were not up to high standards, I’ve asked for a glass of water with no gas and a glass of apple juice and I got 1 glass of half sparkling water and half apple juice. They gave me the vegetarian option that I did not order, it had in fact being ordered by a girl on a totally different row. I wouldn’t flight Lufthansa again as it’s expensive but gives the service of a low cost.

Worst experience of my life with an airline (Lufthansa) and an airport (Frankfurt). Such bad treatment never happened to me – not even with less notorious or low-cost companies. Missed connection in Frankfurt with one hour between flights. Nobody cared to wait, or help, or to communicate something – even though I had the check-in done already from the first airport. I had to wait for 6 more hours for the next (delayed) flight on a freezing airport after sweating from running to get the connection and I caught a serious cold. For the future I will avoid like hell both Lufthansa and Frankfurt airport. They ruined the end of an otherwise perfect holiday.
