Over - amazing. The aircraft is somewhat old on this route.

First time and very memorable, the finest flying experience ive ever had

Ove the A380 planes. Comfortable seats. Served great Indian food and Masala Chai!

no problem with Emirates it was the underpricer subcontractor Who was ridiculous

The plane seemed pretty old and the food was not good

Flight left on time. Bags came quickly. Crew was nice. But internet never worked and the food was awful.

Comfort and customer service from most if the crew was great. The crew reassigning passengers should consider the presence of infants when reassigning seats. Unfortunately a couple of oversized passengers were relocated next to us, making this segment a bit uncomfortable, as there was not only extra leg space required. I ended up swapping seats with my husband so our baby wouldn't be impacted. My husband travelled quite uncomfortable as the reassigned neighbour shoulder and arm ended up on my husband's seat

Boarding, seats, entertainment and service were all great. The food was great except for the fact that there were too many sweet items.

Poor flight aircraft very old Crew was friendly 1 person though

everything was great. I don't use on-board entertainment at all (I just read or sleep), but I appreciate that I couldn't hear anyone else's!

I travel often with LATAM, it never disappoints me. The service is great, nice crew, latest and some classic movies. I got 3 small meals, cannot complaint. I’ll definitely travel again with them.

It was good, however the airplane was really cold. We received snacks and the crew was friendly.

Although the flight is goof and the crew is good, the way the airline charges you for every service is ridiculous.

I liked everything, this was classed as premium economy but it was much better than Lufthansas business class. Lovely staff, comfortable plane and an excellent seat arrangement. A very pleasant surprise.

Friendly staff, It was the first flight out for our plane, so had to be deiced from the frost. Only delayed a few minutes,

Staff encountered friendly and helpful. Flight delayed 1 hour due to mechanical issue, but made it through Atlanta immkgration and security in plenty of time,

We boarded so late it caused us to miss time at Foz. No real information was provided to the passengers waiting.

Basic experience, we were delayed causing less time to enjoy our destination and on the way back, we boarded when the flight should have been taking off.

reliable, relatively relaxed, with helpful staff in all 8 flights we had on this trip. They are solid even though we did not have special seating or status for the flights.

Very poor ! Latam is really excellent in mistreating its premium passengers and their family. They should go out of business for good.

The cushion of the seats are old and very thin. The food can be more tasty or come with salt packages

It was great. My seat was comfortable. The bathrooms were clean . The service was superb . I travel a lot and I have been in 64 counties. I wish I could fly first class, even though I could , but I prefer to budget my yearly travelling expense on actual visiting , not on flight. Anyway, my point is that your economy was far much better than other airlines as good as Air France. The flight attendants and all crew were polite and very helpful and respectful. Thank you for making my long trip tolerable.

-Swiss airlines online check in app crashed multiple times -Zurich airport does not have very many bathrooms accessible to people with disabilities - closest disability accessible bathroom to departure gate was 1/4 mile away.

My luggage did not make the connection and 4 days later I still have not received it.

It is a good airlines, very professional very good food. I wish they offered free luggage is the only thing.

Nothing special.. they could have provided something to eat without a charge

For the price of the ticket it's probably the best service in the world

Seats are too cramped, but that is a problem with every airline. I actually enjoyed the meal served.

Crammed like sardines into the middle of the middle 4 seat row for an 11 hour flight was a terrible experience. No attempt made to help passengers sleep by dimming lights or shutting window shades. Small mediocre meals. Not enough good movies/TV options. Hopefully we will never have to do this again.

better announcing at the gate prior to boarding and better organization of various gps

The food options were beef or veg, No alternatives for Hindus, that don't eat beef...

Flight was on time Seats ( business class) are terrible- you keep on slipping down as it doesn’t lie flat Food service is like economy class. Meals ( still wrapped in plastic) are just dropped in front of you

On time flight; otherwise not impressed by the check- in- purchased business class and the aircraft was downgraded; no refund given for the difference. Told I could access the lounge due to the above and was questioned by the lounge check- in person who was not friendly

Flight was cancelled with no notification until I reached the check-in desk at the airport. I also got downgraded and they lost my luggage.

Very bad. Linda the hostess was very rude all the time

Very bad, Linda the hostess was very rude all the time

The flight SA227 on 2nd March Sao Paulo to Cape Town was delayed by 3 hours. All other flights leaving Sao Paulo left on time. We were told that we were waiting for push back and a routing from Air traffic control. I don't believe this, what was the real reason for the flight delay?

I think more immigration officers at Or Tambo- I spent 90 mins in a queue before I can assisted and most people missed their appointments and meetings

Not sure it was a basic airline so nothing much to like but what was annoying was they delayed so much we missed our connecting flight and we had to almost fight to be out on the next flight and also even get food

Everything the crew werr nice and helpful plus the food was good
