It was a safe and smooth flight. Members of the crew at the second level, business could have been more polite and engaging.

Our seats were not together - one on upstairs business class, the other nicer downstairs business class. Terrible!! A very nice agent worked hard with other passengers & got us upstairs together. Not ideal experience. Check in agent should have caught that! Asked about upgrade to first class for additional $2500 each. Refused upgrade saying we upgraded once already. We booked on business class to begin with so we’re NOT happy!!

Everything was good except the seats we originally picked we did not get when we paid for extra leg room. Had to wait till last minute to get assigned our seats which was nerve racking

We particularly liked the cabin crew who assisted us in understanding how to use some novel features of the seats at the front of the premium economy cabin. The flight attendants were uniformly friendly and helpful. My only complaint, which I didn't include above, is that for the additional cost of premium economy, the seats and amenities weren't that different from regular economy to justify a roughly $5,000 price difference. We still had three row seats and no out the window view whatever. I have already mentioned in a previous review the disaster of Lufthansa not recognizing the inevitable delays in transfer flights due ti new EU regulations for non-EU travelers. We missed flights, lost luggage and spent the first three days of our vacation in Bologna taking cab trips to the airport to see if our luggage had arrived, which it finally did. On a more positive note, the United employee who was assisting passengers at Gate 18 in Washington DC, boarding for Boston, went out of his way to help us book another flight when we missed our first one to SFO due to the transfer delays caused by US Customs. He appeared of middle eastern descent, was extremely kind and helpful when we were stuck without any flight--he got us one shortly afterwards.

The young woman lufthansa agent at the gate was friendly, kind , helpful and professional. Answered my question respectfully and extremely helpful. She also spoke excellent english. I would rate her a ten for outstanding on a scale from 0 -10. Excellent customer service.

Positive: boarding very smooth, crew efficient, overhead baggage compartments roomy, flight arrived earlier than scheduled. The main negative feature is the size of the economy seats. In particular, the distance between rows is quite short. If one is overweight, it becomes difficult to lower the tray table

Crew was very friendly and attentive. The lack of Wi-Fi on an aircraft in 2026 is incomprehensible. The operational experience with the flight delay and ground service was abysmal.

Excellent once on board. Security staff at Johannesburg rude and aggressive.

Efficient boarding process. Staff are nice. Food should be better.

Our entertainment/movie and audio did not work during our flight. Two of our bags did not make it to our final home destination. No personal assistant. Everything is via email/web with no assistance.
