Flight lead was a gentleman with silver hair and he went out of his way to shake hands and interact with each passenger seated in business class. A medical emergency took place during our flight and he handled it with perfect poise and professionalism. He was gracious and confidently competent. Just what you want from a leader,

It was really nice experience by flying this klm flight.I personally recommend everyone to please try this klm flight

KLM remains a quality flag carrier airline which maintains its standards whilst all their competitors are lowering theirs.

Transfer at Amsterdam airport is very convenient and the airport is easy to navigate. Boarding was also quick and easy. Cabin crew were excellent and the meals were good, although lacking in options.

Overall a very pleasant flight. No significant issues on either flight. Amsterdam airport is very convenient for connecting

Quick and efficient as always. Air France managed to loose and damage my luggage that never made it onto my KLM flight.

Booked connecting flights with KlM. My serving flight was the furthest part of the airport. On arrival in Zurich. My two cases arrived but only one carry on belong to my son. His three suitcase didn't arrive. After enquiring we discovered they were still in Amsterdam. We landed at 11.12. We eventually left the airport just after one.

The food quality is poor. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The entertainment program was limited. I experienced a delay of 30 minutes due to two issues. Passenger luggage had to be removed and there was a technical issue with the stairs not detaching from the aircraft. The pilot managed to compensate and we arrived only 15 minutes later. The luggage at Dubai airport was very slow. I waited over an hour.

one of my bags was drenched with fish smelling water and all my new clothes bought at dublin and the 23kg checked in bag were all gone waste with very pungent fish smell and also having stains

Seats actually fit a human! Snack options were a bit lame but that’s ok

Italian airport boarding is always funny. But to not be able to load my luggage with over 1 hour layover is ridiculous

My experience on this United Airlines flight was highly uncomfortable, primarily due to two issues: Cabin Temperature: The temperature on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was unacceptably high, feeling consistently around 80 degrees throughout the flight. This made sleeping impossible and significantly detracted from the experience. Seating Arrangement: Being stuck in a middle seat for a six-and-a-half-hour overnight flight compounded the discomfort. Moving forward, I will always purchase a seat assignment to avoid this situation.

Smooth flight, especially take off and landing, and great crew on board. Really loved the stroopwaffles!

The flight was canceled the day of the flight. United says it was FAA issue, with some 35 flights canceled and more delayed.

Slight delay but not bad. UA app worked well! Got regular updates of gate changes, etc. Don't have any complaints.

At least the delays were short. Business class, even in the new planes is very crowded now with crappy tray tables

By in large it was a good experience. The flight crew was great and that's the most important to me. Boarding was fine.

I had very little time to change planes originally in Denver after my flight from Omaha. I had an hour and a half layover in Denver originally and my flight leaving Omaha was delayed an hour because they had to change a tire, which I can understand. When I reached Denver my other flight was late, fortunately, but I still had only 10 minutes to run about a mile through the airport to get to my flight. Again, fortunately, I am a healthy 71-year-old and was able to accomplish this feat. However, the stress was more than necessary to bear.

Flight was delayed Vegetarian food was of poor quality Frankfurt airport was full of mice

If other people in flight, followed instructions and were much cleaner.

Flight was delayed twice which made our arrival extremely late (actually into next day). Not an easy travel. But when we requested assistance for boarding we were really impressed with how they helped us! Strongly praise their assistance.

every single person involved showed their joy, working in the airline industry - it created a very pleasant atmosphere for everyone

For boarding, after family with youngsters, you should have 65 and over. Whatever rules, enforce them. It’s frustrating for those who respect them to see aggressive people rush to the gate out of turn…

A snack would have been nice instead of having to buy food.

The plane was new. Should give more options on food.

No food other than a tiny snack. The flight is too long for not having a more substantial food option, other than buying the overprices and mostly non-plant-based options from the menu.

It was a refreshing experience from the past few times I have travelled with Air Canada.

rerouted on red eye. arrived 9 hours late with no luggage. still missing after 3 days. up to 45 day to deal with it. SHAME

The crew is super friendly and helpful , boarding was quick and easy , the prices are too high for a an airline that doesn’t provide complementary meals or snacks for long flights

The flight crew was nice and courteous. The food was terrible. There are no in-flight entertainment services, the plane is outdated and dilapidated, and the flight is delayed. Both from Newark and Montreal. Too bad.

We boarded the plane and waited for 30 minutes ultimately for them to cancel the flight due to engineering issues.

Love the little chocolate bars, and consumer rights in EU regarding stepped refunds when flights are delayed.

I have flown with many airlines. My first time was several years ago. Now I remember why I avoided them for so long. Lufthanza is the only airline who has ever raised a size/weight issue with my modest standard size carry on. I had to repack three times to meet their carry-on weight criteria. (Apparently the rules of physics apply differently on Lufthansa flight than on other airlines.) In the meantime their staff was quite rude, repeating meaningless phrases like "Rules are Rules." And ignoring the additional fact that weight is also weight, whether it is in found in your carry on or in your suitcase. They eventually acknowledged that customer service and satisfaction is, for them, a low priority. Never choosing Lufthansa again.

Did not happen. Cancelled and rebooked on flight to Frankfurt and then to Berlin. Lost luggage at Frankfurt change.

Staff was rude in business class. Luggage was damaged and nothing was done about it airlines.

We were helped whenever needed and had a pleasant flight.

I'm Canaadian. I hate Air Canada. I used to give them a pass on their international service. No longer, They suck across the board now! Old planes, exhausted staff bad food and shitty entertainment. Your seats need reupholstered! Start with that...

Clean bathrooms They wreaked of urine Seats were very uncomfortable No room for my legs

Boarding was slow to begin. Economy board should be accomplished from rear of plane to front, as the entrance doors are front of plane. This would eliminate waiting and passenger congestion on the plane. Meals were good however crew will not check if you want meal if sleeping, should be like Emirates and give seat tags wake for meals or do not disturb. Entertainment ok but screen headphone/jacks were distorted - took 3 sets of headphones to get working properly. Flight crew was amazing, exceptionally nice, professional, best Lufthansa crew I have experienced.

Uncomfortable seats, small, with displaced metal structures under the seats that make it impossible to sit properly for 10 hours of flight. This type of seats should only be allowed on short local flights of up to 2 hours, not on 10-hour intercontinental flights where one can hardly walk and go to the toilet due to lack of space. There is no question of short "walks" enabling circulation, due to lack of space. Audio video system not working (freezing), headphones not working (very low quality). The plane's staff did not respond to calls and were engaged in long and loud conversations among themselves. They served only at assigned times to deliver meals.
