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

The best ever, friendly and attentive cabin crew, amazing captains who utilised their expertise for less turbulence, just overall amazing

Everything I was good except food quality is very poor

The boarding process was smooth and the stewardesses were nice. Some delays with drinks at the end of the flight, but no issues.

Good food, real silverware, polite staff, smooth landing, charging plugs, good entertainment options.

The service on board was excellent, the flight wasn’t overbooked and we departed and arrived on time.

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!

On this flight, about the last 2 hours the captain kept the cabin too hot. It appeared like the ac was off.

The entire crew was amazing. They went out of their way to make us enjoy a great travel experience.

The ground staff on Islamabad is horrible. The on board services are excellent.

This portion of the flight was through Indigo. A local carrier. So all economy seating. No real service some refreshments for purchase standard economy stuff.

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 very positive. Boarding was quick and organized. Cabin was clean and seats were reasonably comfortable. Cabin crew was excellent and the meals provided were also of good quality

This fight left ahead of time which meant it arrived early which was great. Staff were very professional, but as with all these Short hop Flights the food was a disappointing snack There was no entertainment on this flight, but I did not expect any

I flew premium economy and this was a good option. Although the seats didn’t recline much, I was able to get some sleep with my head propped against the window. The food was good and the entertainment was wonderful The staff were very attentive and professional

Great boarding, great short flight but no entertainment whatsoever and no wifi. Prepare to disembark by a staircase.

Great boarding, great short flight but no entertainment whatsoever. It was supposed to have wifi but that did not work.

Good flight with KLM, friendly staff. Food was good, had much worse on other airlines. Selection of drinks also good enough for us. Entertainment was also good. The economy seats are ok and that’s it. For a 12 hour flight I think a little more comfort in the economy seats in pitch and softness would be highly appreciated by the customers and can makte the difference.

I tried to upgrade to premium economy anis seat online during the checkin process. The payment didn’t work due to a technical glitch on KLM’s website. I wasn’t able to change my seat unless I called Amsterdam. Since I was in Canada and there’s a time difference this wasn’t practical. So when I arrived early to Ottawa airport my seat wasn’t available and I could only get a middle seat in premium economy which isn’t great. These middle seats are priced at the same rate as an aisle seat which makes no sense.

The food & entertainment really stood out in terms of quality. The nasi goreng & chicken satay were absolutely delicious. It’s great that KLM feature international cuisine.

Was very good, was happy with the way staff were smiling and how they were approachable

A child was loud throughout which made the trip less than optimal. Crew was great and professional. They need to change the automatic seat belt announcement which is too loud and had other unneeded words like "this is XYZ announcement number one'

Love the dreamliner plane. It's such a smooth ride, I don't notice that it's 15 hours in the air. The staff are great and they don't overstuff you with food.

I really like this airline. The staff are lovely and friendly, the planes are tidy and unfussy. I would rate them at the top of the African Airline carriers.

Delayed by 4 hours with inadequate advance notifications which caused us a lot of consternation and angst. I will never fly or recommend your airline again

Flight was changed 3 times, from a night flight to a day flight, and then delayed by 5h…

Kenya Airways delayed my flights for 7 days. Each delayed, they notified me last minute. This is ridiculous.

The kindness and good humor of all the people who this flight possible was a joy.

Awful, we had a delay of 3 hrs, impacting in my transfer flight to Cape town, and Kenya airways didnt do anything. They sent me twice to transfer services in Nairobi, not been available to sleep (from 1 am to 5 am); without any update.

It's the only direct flight between Accra and Nairobi, and you pay for it! Food is better on Asky. No entertainment on flight from Accra to Nairobi, but there other way did have screens. Generally timely boarding and departure.

I was very happy with everything, thank you for the smooth flight ✈️

Overall excellent service and Frankfurt Airport was very efficient and clean

I’m glad the bus waited for me to connect me to my next flight since we were delayed. Flight was good.

Entertainment system is old. Food can be tastier Need to provide toothbrush and toothpaste at least when asked.

I pre-ordered my meal and did not receive it. The seats are very old, uncomfortable and dirty. The crew was excellent and made my stay on board comfortable and enjoyable.

No entertainment since it was a 3 hr flight. Good leg room for economy.

It was great. The airline staff was very friendly. The FRA security was a bit harsh doing their job but friendly overall.

Flew on a relatively old Airbus A340. Must have been one of the tightest economy seats I've ever experienced in a 2-4-2 setup. Seat doesn't recline much, and you're basically sitting up-right for the entire 11+ hours. Meal service was curt. The hot/warm dish was half squished causing some of the contents to squeeze out and make a mess when it was tossed onto the tray. TV screen is small for this day and age, and the USB didn't work to charge anything either. However there are lots of movies and tv shows, so that was good.

Very old plan, bad cabin layout and seats, entertainment system would get 95% through a film and then crash and reboot. I wont be using Lufthansa after I return back home, would rather pau more for a better flight arramgement.

Our flights were severely delayed, then canceled and we had to fly out next day with no sleep accommodation help. This led to our baggage being lost and the service reps after baggage couldn’t be bothered to help. They kept sending us to different counters when we were at the right counter to begin with. The only saving grace was the angel woman supervisor with blond hair who helped us put in a missing baggage claim.

Flights delayed, and not communicated to the level I accustomed to by other airlines. The crew seems to be hating their job and it shows. It costs you nothing to smile and be a bit more friendlier. Also, no jet bridge, passengers have to use stairs, which is hard for my elderly parents. What's the point of ordering wheelchairs?

One of the stewardess was really rude to a customer right near me. I ordered water and was given sparkling water which kind of surprised me as I've always been given still water but I didn't say anything. The lady after me ordered water as well and when she saw it was sparking water, she stopped the stewardess who then said very curtly "You could have told me sooner." Whoa...that was rude! Later this same customer had some liquid spilled on her as the same stewardess handed a drink to the person sitting next to her. I know it wasn't intentional, but it was rather strange. It was very hard to navigate how to get through the Frankfurt airport to our connecting flight. No one told us you'd have to go through security again so it was rather confusing as we didn't have a boarding pass. Luckily we were able to get necessary papers and get to our flight. Sadly, my luggage did not make it out of Frankfurt though.

Quick easy flight, checked my bag and was told to pick it up in LAX but my bag stayed in Frankfurt. I am tracking it with an air tag. I filed a complaint with Alaska Airlines at my last stop in SJC.

For context: 10 hour flight FRA-YVR. Newer A330 Neo plane. Crew were amazing - friendly and efficient. The plane is newer with great overhead space. My main issue is that the Premium Econ cabin is inferior compared with other airlines. Cute amenity kit (a plus). Food was fine, though I’d like to see more wine selection beyond 1 red and 1 white. But, seats aren’t as comfortable, and all Prem Econ and Econ passengers share only 4 washrooms. Washrooms in business are off limits. In addition, Condor charges for seat selection in Prem Econ. Ridiculous on a $1500 one-way ticket. Prem Econ configuration is 2, 4 and 2, and Condor put me and my partner into 2 middle seats in the group of 4 seats, meaning we’d have a single person to our left and to our right. Again, ridiculous. A kind airport agent was able to give us 2 seats in first (and exit) row of Prem Econ but these had no footrests. I wouldn’t rush back to Premium Economy on Condor.

The crew was friendly, but the comfort of the plane and the food definitely had room for improvement.

The cabin staff was very friendly and attentive. The plane was modern and fairly quiet in flight. The video screens are large and of high quality, and I liked that the documentary movie "Anselm" was available for watching.

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.

Because of luggage I had to upgrade to premium economy , which was worth it!

Every thing was fine. The food was lack luster especially after leaving from Italy.

Very good except for the screaming 5 year old that was allowed to yell and scream whenever he wanted too! The mom obviously had no concept of “inside voices”!
