Lufthansa

Dec 21 2013 LH431 ORD-FRA. Efficient and friendly service. The new 747-8 aircraft offers a modern ambience in the Economy class LH standard seats with individual now well-functioned entertainment system but still the usual limited space.

London LHR - Frankfurt. Quick 1 hour flight. Friendly enthusiastic and chatty crew sandwiches offered and full bar service incl. German sparkling wine and bottled beer even in Economy. All on time perfect.

ORD-MUC LH 435 Jan 11th. Great Service Food is ok but the inflight entertainment system is pretty bad. Movie selection is rather small and the touchscreen is so unresponsive its a pain to navigate the menu.

LH 415 Washington-Munich. 10/11 Jan 2014. Overall very good. Friendly service. Good (new) business class seats. I was surprised that I did not get entry to the Star Alliance Lounge at Washington airport even though I had a business class ticket and being FTL silver.

DOH-FRA-YVR: Both legs of flight on A340 aircraft. Not my optimum choice of long-haul platform; however Lufthansa really made the best of things. Traveled economy both legs yet found that both seat space and leg room were more than adequate. Food was so-so and selection of movies average. However cabin crew were very attentive and customer oriented. This airline is becoming my airline of choice.

FRA to ORD. I slept most of the time on board so there was not much I had to complain about. Flight attendants very nice and friendly. Boarding in FRA is always very chaotic. It is much better organized in ORD. LH should handle the boarding procedure for FRA like they do it in ORD. I'd recommend that Lufthansa would send an e-mail notification when the plane changes so that passengers who book early can make sure that they can keep their reserved seat.

Frankfurt to Washington Dulles on Jan 8 flight LH418. Return on Jan 10th flight LH419. I have been flying Lufthansa for many years now both professionally and privately. It is not a cheap airline but I admit that I still use it for my private trips because of the impeccable quality of service at all levels. As a Senator passenger I know I get more perks but I see all the time the genuine attention that the staff puts in when dealing with every passenger. After having delt for many years with numerous american airlines I find this very refreshing!

30 December 2013 Paris to Tbilisi via Munich LH2237 and LH2556. 8 January 2014 Tbilisi to Paris via Munich LH2557 and LH2230. Check-in was easy and pleasant with brilliant ground staff in Tbilisi. On board cabin crew were polite and hard working especially on the MUC-TBS leg on 30 December. Hot food was served in MUC-TBS-MUC segments and it was very tasty both times. Lufthansa and Turkish are recommended airlines for travelers to Tbilisi.

Manchester UK to Munich LH 2501. Munich to Chicago LH434. I travel with Lufthansa regularly from Great Britain to USA in either Business or First Class. The overall service is always excellent. I can fly directly to the USA from Manchester (UK) but the standard and service of the US Airlines is way below that offered by Lufthansa. Meals are always excellent seating extremely comfortable and cabin staff courteous and helpful. Travelling via Germany adds to my journey time but I find it well worthwhile. Additionally the standard of Lufthansa Lounges are far superior to US Airline ones.

Flight 490 from Frankfurt / Germany to Seattle / WA on January 6 2014. Very punctual smooth flight. On board service very good. Temperature in plane too low. Entertainment programme and internet service excellent. Digital flight information very good. Meal service fine except for oversight to remove moist cloth and empty cups/cans before serving dinner. Overall impression very good.
