Crew was great, service was good, flight went well. Originally, the flight was advertised with WiFi… including during check in… and nada.
The flight was excellent but the onboard WiFi wasn’t working.
The crew aboard Aegean were excellent, they picked on our son’s anxiety and immediately came to the rescue to see what they could do to make it go away.
When a flight has a delay of about an hour it is customary to announce the passengers
Nice business class service for shot flight. Especially when the free WiFi works
The flight was absolutely fine. Unfortunately it was delayed by an hour due to unforeseen reasons.
More leg room, great if crew could move people before flight (ie if 3 in a row, offer to move 1 or 2 to an empty 3 seat row rather than let people move themselves after takeoff
The food sandwich was OKAY for such a short flight. Crew were very caring. They helped my wife who has walking issues. They carried her bag and held her arm to help prevent tripping. All in all it was a professional effort on the part of all crew members. I highly recommend this crew of Aegean Airlines.
Short flight. They served drinks and food, but the flight was full and had to put my hand luggage under the seat.
2 hours delay on the plane causing is to miss our connection
AWESOME PLANE Warm, friendly staff Smooth boarding and deplaning Even the food was good!!!!!
Check in started on time, Departure was on time, Arrival 15 minutes ahead of schedule.
You need to be able to manage your employees effectively instead of letting them call the shots. Priority should be given to the convenience and interests of the customers—whom you simply couldn't care less about.
The crew members; the service, the food, everything was good. The check in process was terrible because I couldn't choose my seat. It made my waiting too long at the airport in Tel Aviv and at the end U've got the middle seat even though it was promised to me to give me the aisle seat. Each company gives the option to choose free seats during check in. I didn't have this option
NOTE: this flight is operated by TAROM It’s good, but the in flight entertainment wasn’t working
The service, the crew, the cleanliness, and most of all, the comfort and space between seats in the economy class was excellent! The seat spacing was better than all my international flights in recent memory.
I stood in line for two hours חודא to drop off my suitcase. When I arrived just before the gate closed and asked to drink the water I bought a minute before boarding, the flight attendant rushed me to throw away the bottle and get on the plane. She spoke rudely, even though I had been standing in different lines for 3 hours; I felt bad and needed water. The delay was the airline's fault, not my fault. I expected understanding, not rudeness.
The space between my knees and the chair in front of me was the smallest I’ve ever seen. I could not reach the blanket that was on the floor. The entertainment included very many Israeli movies and tv shows. The El Al app did not update to tell me the gate. The most important thing you should know is that El Al is very security conscious. Prepare to go through a security check at the gate. They look through the passport and boarding pass, through your carry on bags, ask questions, etc. Then they give you a sticker and only then can you board. So get to the gate about half an hour before you would otherwise.
Poor service! If I can I will never fly with them again.
The crew was fantastic, and it was croweded but roomy enough. But the sandwich was horrible and no entertainment at all which is difficult in a flight of more than 4 hours.
I was in the premier economy and enjoyed the room and the comfort. Although I will say that it would take a real expert to make the location of the place to plug in headsets and chargers more difficult. With all of the room available it makes no sense to bury those connections and to make it so difficult to use them. The couple in front of me needed to use the cell phone light in order to see where to plug in a charger. The seats are comfortable and the food was good.
I was upgraded to business class. Seats same size but better food. Polite service.
We were delayed three hours from Montenegro to Vienna on our outbound flight and then rebooked an extra leg on our trip to the US. Our bags, which Austrian made us check in in Montenegro even though the flight was barely half full, didn't find us for ten days. Then, when we asked for compensation for the delay we were given the runaround that the flight originated outside of the EU. Next time we fly Turkish Air.
Loved the courtesy and punctuality. Very professional and most importantly on time.
Very limited legroom in a 10 hour flight.very old plane.
The flight was delayed for 30 minutes with no apparent reason. There is no entertainment at all, and no USB or electric outlets for charging your phone or tablet.
Not so good. I paid for a preference economic seat, and I couldn’t incline it back because it was blocked. They explained me that because is the last before emergency exit. The company new that but it was not explained in the seat selection
One hour delay to board. The plane is tiny and 100 years old. Many passengers have been asked to check in their carry-on bags. This is although the bags were within weight and volume limits. The plane is just too small so they are essentially overbooking carry-ons. No entertainment whatsoever. No overhead TV and of course no personal screens. Food, if you can call a lukewarm toast "food", was edible at best. Craw was very nice, polite, and welcoming. They are not at fault that the airline is XXXing on their clients.
Austrian was not the issue. Kayak was terrible The flight was canceled. Frustrating but it can happen. The worst was Kayak's customer support around re-booking. I have chatted with a bot, than with a person who insisted the flight was still on as originally booked. while chatting i went on Austrian web page and told the kayak chat lady that the flight is shown as cancelled. She said she will escalate this and that someone will contact me within the hour. When I have asked her to give me the details of the flight she sees, She gave me the general A to B and return B to A. Totally unhelpful. After two hours I contacted them again, They were still saying the original flight is as scheduled and when I explained again I was told I will be contacted within 2-6 hours. NO ONE CONTACTED ME EVER SINCE! I have than contacted Austrian directly and was rebooked on a difficult flight. Kayak continued to send me irrelevant updates about my original flight. Terrible customer service at time of need.
Overall pleasant flight . The lunch was exceptional! Delicious chicken curry with perfect rice and amazing chocolate (Sacher torte) for desert. I have not eaten such a good airplane meal in a very, very long time.
Thank you! Our flight was amazing! Short layover turned to be not just doable, it was so sufficient, fast, clear! Helpful informative boards and incredibly professional kind people in Zurich assisted in every step! I’m ver grateful to everyone there! 🙂🙏
The space is getting smaller and smaller … and I know Swiss cares about people. Why not be countercultural and make people with normal amounts of money feel cared for? That much more space or recline would make a big difference.. just a way for people to feel invested in versus having to forgo all comfort just because it is simply not financially feasible to cash out for more leg room and this and that? You would have even more people book with you and instead of having people fly like sardines you could fly a whole other plane? Innovation is Swiss! So be Swiss and come up with a revolutionary way to have “common people” fly extraordinarily;)
First flight was delayed slightly, immediately went to the desk to ask if we would make our connecting flight we were told ‘absolutely no problem’. Flight was delayed again. We went back up and they said ‘it might be tight, but you should be fine. We’ll move to seats closer to the front of the plane’ so we lost our window and aisle seat and were moved to middle seats. As we were getting ready to land the flight attendant let us know that they have already rebooked us on a new flight, even though we may have been able to make our original flight when we landed. We went to the desk and were told that our flight was the following day. The staff told us that they could send us to Frankfurt first and then from Frankfurt to Boston and we could either do that that night or tomorrow. We chose to go to Frankfurt same day. We were told that we would be able to collect our bags in Frankfurt that was incorrect. We were given a hotel but had no clothes, no toiletries, nothing as we were not able to get our bags and we were required to check even our carry ons. Overall bad expedited and Swiss pushed us off on to Lufansia air who is unable to offer us any credits or upgrades. Extremely frustrating and do not plan to fly with Swiss in the future.
the glutenfree food was not more than ok. oatmel is not considererd 100% glutenfree, which you served me. I would expect a better meal
Everything about Swiss was perfect . I found the business practice of kayak to be shady. We were turned over to an online travel agent called Aran Grant. We paid extra for economy comfort seats on our transatlantic flights including picking the exact seats we wanted. Upon check in 24 hours before departure we were assigned different seats . When contacting Aran Grant they were very pleasant and professional with the only problem being they could not help us. We had to each time arrive at the airport four hours early to get assistance from Swiss .check in agent. Both times they were very helpful and accommodating. . The moral of the story is we were left to fend for ourselves. Kayak and its agent AranGeant leave slot to be desired .
I took a long time to start boarding past the announced boarding time. It was the replacement flight for the flight we were supposed to take the previous day. That one was cancelled because not enough airplanes were planned to be in operation. I don't like that you have to pay extra for food and luggage.
This leg of the trip was ok, though the check in agent could have given us assigned seats. I have a feeling though that agent could not as it became clear later on. Please see below. However, the leg from Zurich to San Francisco was horrendous. We only had less than 1.5 hours to transfer to a different gate using transfer train. We asked at the business lounge and were told to see the gate agent. When we went there there was a long line. As we approached business class desk, we were yelled at and the agent said "I will not talk to you". After a long wait, we were then told our seats will be assigned at the boarding time!!! After a time, the agent announced for volunteers as the business class was overbooked. We did get seats in the end but were separated at which point, we just decided it was not worth trying to ask for seats. I am not sure I will ever use Arrant Grant. I understand the Arrant Grant need to charge commission. However, what Lufthansa charged $10315.80 Canadian dollars ($7316.17 US dollars) was so much less than $12670.80 Arrant Grant charged me. I think commission of $5354,53 US dollars is too excessive. Also, I tried to upgrade to First Class and was told that we had upgraded once already and couldn't upgrade again. So, a terrible experience.
As a European regional carrier partner of Swiss Air/Luftansa, Helvetic did a great job.
I am submitting this complaint regarding the way our reservation was handled and the significant financial and personal hardship it caused. The airline changed the departure time of our original flight, making it impossible for us to make our connecting flight. This was not caused by any action on our part. After the schedule change, we spent considerable time working with both the airline and the travel company to find a reasonable alternative itinerary. Unfortunately, no meaningful assistance was provided. Instead of accommodating us on another suitable routing, we were repeatedly told that our only option was to accept a refund. This was not a reasonable solution. We had purchased these tickets months in advance, and by the time the airline canceled our itinerary, airfare had increased dramatically. Because we had no workable alternative, we were forced to purchase completely new tickets with a different airline on a different route. The replacement tickets cost us approximately $2,000 more than our original reservation. In addition to the unexpected expense, the new itinerary was longer, less convenient, and caused us to lose an entire week of planned family visits. The financial loss, disruption to our travel plans, and countless hours spent trying to resolve this matter created an extremely stressful and disappointing experience. Throughout the process, we felt that the airline simply tried to push us toward accepting a refund rather than taking responsibility for the consequences of the schedule change or making a genuine effort to accommodate us. We respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and that the airline provide appropriate compensation for the substantial additional costs and losses we incurred as a direct result of the schedule change and the lack of reasonable assistance.
The flight did not take place because the flight was canceled and I still have not received a refund for the flight.
Love flying Condor Seattle to Frankfurt. Very comfortable premium economy seats, great food and fantastic staff.
I used Kayak.com to buy plane tickets, which sent me to Underpricer. Immediately upon buying the tickets I started getting phone calls telling me that my "tickets were not guaranteed" unless I paid more money. I told them that if they've sold me on just the idea of a ticket, and not an actual ticket, then refund my money immediately. We argued, but they eventually said they would do that. They didn't, I refused the charge on my CC, the CC company eventually charged me anyway, and Underpricer still didn't cancel that ticket because I kept getting alerts to get on that flight. In complaining to Underpricer, they insist that it's my fault and that the most they can do is refund the fees. This company is using deceptive practices and harassing people, and the company needs to be banned from Kayak and from doing business in the US.
Wish the plane actually landed at a gate instead of on the tarmac and have the passengers board very slow buses.
They made us walk thru entire Frankfurt Airport, which at this age. With very less time, we had to run. It was unacceptable.
Great plane and flight attendants. The person next to me had a DISGUSTING smelling mouth and breath, so that was nasty to deal with the whole flight. Brush your teeth, people! Condor was amazing, though :-)
There was one flight attendant who was exceptionally rude about the fact that they didn’t have any meatless options left when I told her I was a vegetarian. The boarding process was a bit disorganized and unclear but everything else was very good.
The flight from Saskatoon to Calgary was canceled by WestJet due to the airline strike. Condor, as the main operator, did not inform us. We found out that information just when we arrived at Saskatoon airport. Fortunately, we had enough time to drive to Calgary airport and catch the flight to Frankfurt. We couldn’t claim compensation for the missing flight because nobody takes responsibility for this situation. When we tried to contact BudgetAir, they redirected us to Condor, and Condor redirected us to WestJet. WestJet keeps saying that they are not responsible for the ticket that was bought from a third-party company.
The flight was VERY delayed making what would have been a long layover in NYC into a mad rush to catch my connection. Other than that it was good.
A bigger plane would be more comfortable. We were bouncing off the ground before even lifting into the air, scary!
No clear baggage rules. Had to pay at gate for my carry on luggage.
