Technical problems

I booked tickets through air Canada official website and they booked us in a partner airline . When the flight was cancelled , air Canada didn’t contact us , the partner airline contacted us on an email less than 12 hours before the flight to inform that the flight is cancelled . We called air canada to get an alternate flight which was provided the next day - air Canada said there is no alternate flught the same day. So we had to book an extra night in a bnb , to fly the next day . We reached final destination Copenhagen with more than a 24 hour delay. The airline didn’t provide any hotel booking, or meal vouchers .

Economy

Unknown

I booked a flight with Lufthansa from Tel Aviv to Stockholm. Lufthansa decided that due to the situation in the middle east, it's canceling all flights. It did not offer any alternative flight. As a result I had to cancel my vacation, the the AirBNB booking fee is lost. It's worthwhile to mention that Lufthansa's decision was on its own discretion. Other airlines are still flying into and out of the airport, including the Israeli airlines (El Al, Israir, Arkia), British Airlines, Aegean and other airlines from the EU. PS: The cancellation cause the cancellation of the return flights as well.

Successful claim

No reason given

I only found out about the cancellation after I had landed at the airport of my connecting flight and at first they mentioned that my flight was delayed a few times. After that it was a huge inconvenience to then figure out what I should do as there was huge lines as the service center. I then managed to finally get a flight for the next day at 11:35 and get a hotel to stay the night. However this meant that I missed half an entire day of my vacation.

Don't remember

Please note that due to the flight delay from Stuttgart to Frankfurt missed the connecting flight from Frankfurt to Yerevan and as a result I had to wait 24 hours (they paid for the hotel) to catch the next flight. Also, please note that while the first flight was a Lufthansa flight and bought the tickets for both flights on Condor website and therefore I only have the booking reference code given from Condor, which is different from Lufthansa reference code, which I don't have. Hopefully, you will not ask Lufthansa reference code for proceeding with the case. Thank you!

Flight LH1529 from BHD to FRA on the 22nd of July 2024 was cancelled with no explanation. This was after the flight being shown as delayed for several hours. I am still trying to get Lufthansa to give a reason for the cancellation. Previous efforts resulted in a confirmation that the flight was cancelled, and also that flight LH1529 on the 5th of July was cancelled due to curfew (I am not sure if this was a mistake, and they meant to say the 22nd). My flight costs were refunded eventually. I am still trying to get insurance payout for lost hotel bookings and internal flights in Peru. Lufthansa tried to provide alternative flights to Lima, but were unable to do so. As a result my trip was abandoned.

Anchorage-Vienna

Economy

No reason given

We departed from Anchorage (ANC) on 6 August 2024 via Frankfurt (FRA) to Vienna (VIE). The ANC-FRA flight number was LH4351. Our flight was delayed by 40 minutes. Because of this 40 minute delay, we did not catch our flight from Frankfurt to Vienna (LH6334). Therefore, our flight was rebooked in Frankfurt and after a delay of 5 1/2 hours, we would have been on flight LH 1242 to Vienna. However, flight LH1242 was eventually cancelled, so not only did we have to wait in Frankfurt for 5 and a half hours in vain because of the delay of the first flight, but flight LH1242 was cancelled. Finally, on 8 August 2024, we took flight OS 206 back to Vienna.

female flight attendant behavior

Dear Customer Service, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about the humiliating experience I endured from a female flight attendant on August 14, 2024. I was a passenger on flight LH1694, which was scheduled to depart at 20:35 and arrive at 21:25. My family was waiting for me in Prague, and we had a dinner reservation for four people at around 22:00. Despite planning our evening after the flight schedule, the flight was delayed and did not depart until 21:55, resulting in our arrival in Prague at 23:00, get luggage and leaving with taxi was already 23:35pm. This caused us to miss our dinner reservation, leaving me hungry on the flight. During the flight, I took three pieces of chocolate from a basket offered by the flight female attendants. However, when I try to take the chocolates, the flight attendant in question raised the basket high above my reach and sternly said, "You should pick only one piece." She continued to hold the basket out of reach, pointed her finger at my face, and lingered long enough to make those seated around me uncomfortable and draw unnecessary attention to the situation. When I explained that this had not been an issue on other Lufthansa flights, she curtly interrupted me with a "NO!!" and before i try to talk to her she walking away, leaving me humiliated in front of my fellow passengers. It is appalling that she was so rigid about enforcing a rule regarding chocolates while failing to acknowledge the significant inconvenience caused by the delayed flight. If rules are to be followed strictly, then Lufthansa should compensate me for the missed dinner, which is worth far more than the three pieces of chocolate. I demand a direct, written apology from this flight attendant herself, not just from your service center. If this does not happen, I will pursue compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused. A photo of the attendant is attached to this email. As a paying customer, I do not expect to be treated with to be publicly reprimanded by an employee who is paid to serve. Additionally, I strongly recommend that this flight attendant undergo further training on proper customer service. Her unkempt appearance, as evident in the attached photo, is also concerning and does not meet the professional standards expected of airline staff. In my extensive travel experience, including approximately 20 flights last year and six with Lufthansa, I have never encountered such unprofessional behavior. Hiring low-paid employees reflects poorly on your brand and diminishes your company's image. The humiliation I experienced is akin to me saying, "She looks like a refugee," which would be just as unacceptable. If Lufthansa continues to employ such individuals, it will only further damage your rufthansa reputation. I am extremely furious about this situation and urge you to take immediate action to address it properly. Please refrain from hiring incompetent staff in the future. Sincerely,

The first segment of the flight was cancelled earlier today. Lufthansa have offered one rebooking option - two days later (so on 23d August instead of 21st August) and with transit in the US, for which US visa is required (we don't have a US visa). Currently, we are missing (1) the cost of Tel Aviv - Mexico City tickets and back, (2) flight tickets Mexico City - Oaxaca (expect to be non refundable) and (3) museum tickets in Mexico City. These tickets are attached. In respect of (1) - we have just contacted the airline and the tour operator, which sold us the tickets. In case the cost of the ticket is refunded in full, we should be claiming only the compensation and expenses to which we are entitled in accordance with applicable laws on top of the Tel Aviv - Mexico City ticket price (i.e. on top of 2560 EUR for both passengers).

Trivandrum-Dallas-Fort Worth

Economy

No reason given

When we reached DEL by LH 7267, we came to know that our flight LH 761 to Frankfurt was cancelled. Lufthansa employees arranged for us to fly by Air India to SFO on Aug 1st, at 3:55 am. When we reached SFO at 10:25 am, we found that our connecting American Airlines flight to DFW was gone. We contacted Lufthansa and the supervisor and employees of Lufthansa at SFO were very unhelpful. They claimed that we missed the connecting flight to DFW due to the fault of Air India and that we should therefore contact them. When we contacted Air India we were told that our ticket was through Lufthansa and that therefore they cannot login to the system to help us. We were pushed back to Lufthansa where they disowned us again. It was very traumatic mentally and physically, since I and my wife had surgeries in June and July and we were both wheelchair passengers. It was the supervisor of the wheelchair employees who helped us by contacting American Airlines and arranged us an AA flight to DFW by 3: 50 PM. We reached DFW at 9:10 PM, on Aug 1st, late by 6 hours and 15 minutes and after suffering a lot of mental and physical anguish.

Booking SFO Lufthansa employee dog transport

I booked my flight and received my confirmation email. Three weeks later I had to change the date only to find out that my booking was cancelled. No one could give me a reason why and I was never informed. I rebooked and has to pay double the original price. I received an email saying my booking was going to be canceled if I didn't pay. I gave the lady all my payment info and received my a confirmation number. I called back to give the info again. The lady took my info and stated that I needed to call back to confirm everything. I called back and again was told that they needed my payment info or it would be canceled. Finally my issue was escalated and resolved. Upon arriving at the airport, I encountered a rude and condescending employee. Her supervisor kept coming over to calm her down. I am moving to Europe and yes I had prepaid for three suitcases. She tried to charge me again, made me feel stupid for overpacking and at one point refused to take my dog as he weighed too much. She was confrontational during the entire interaction. Her supervisor was very kind and professional. Now have been waiting three hours at the airport in Frankfurt for my dog. My family has used travelled Lufthansa many times over the years. Start to finish this has been the worst experience ever. Do not fly Lufthansa!

The flight from Nantes was delayed by several hours which in turn made me miss my flight from Frankfurt to Gothenburg. I was originally rescheduled for July 25th, 2 days after I was supposed to come back to Gothenburg. After persistant attempts to reason with the Lufthansa staff I was able to get a spot on a plane the morning after, on the 24th. Before that I had to stay 1 night in a hotel. I did get a voucher for the hotel in Frankfurt and for the taxi there and back. However, I have not been compensated at all for my delayed flight. The delay resulted in me returning home almost 12 hours after I was originally scheduled to return. Because of this I had to book a taxi instead of having friends come pick me up. I also had to miss 8 hours of work since I coudn't make it back home in time for the scheduled shift at 14:15.

We spent 7 hours on the airport that day. We paid additional $200 for airport transfers. We lost 2 days of our vacaition time!

On the 30th of July, I received an email stating that I cannot be given compensation due to Regulation (EC) No 261/2004. On the 1st of August, I received another email stating that I cannot be given compensation due to airfield restrictions. The different responses from Lufthansa are very disappointing, and the inconsistency in the reasons provided is not valid. Lufthansa operates four other airlines, yet our flight was delayed for nearly 48 hours. When I went to the Lufthansa desk at Heathrow Airport, Terminal 2, they refused to look for another flight with any of those four airlines operated by Lufthansa and instead rebooked my flight for 48 hours later.

Cluj-napoca-Schonefeld

No reason given

I was already inside the boarding zone when the flight was cancelled (2 hours before take-off). Lufthansa offered me an alternative flight 3 days later (4.8 instead of 1.8). I refused the alternative offer and asked for another alternative, saying I would only accept flights on the same day to Berlin or Switzerland, or I would want a refound. Since I got no quick reply and it was 7 p.m. and I had no place to sleep in Cluj-Napoca I found another flight myself at the airport counter. I booked the flight with Wizzair that was flying to Basel and had only 4 spots left (so I had to take a quick decision). I asked for a refound. Lufthansa said they would refound but then they refused to. I missed out on an important conference in Berlin and spent 200 extra euros on a new flight as well as 200 euros on the hotel in Berlin and my travel back to Berlin.

Trivandrum-Dallas-Fort Worth

Economy

No reason given

Rachel and Ajit were rebooked on an Air India flight to San Francisco on Aug 1st 3;55 am. The flight reached SFO at 10:25 AM on Aug 1st. In the meanwhile, our connecting flight from SFO to DFW had already left. Since our ticket was a Lufthansa ticket, we contacted the Lufthansa ticket counter at SFO. The supervisor asked us to contact Air India. On contacting Air India we were told that since the original ticket is a Lufthansa ticket, only they have access to the ticket . Thus we were shunted from one counter to another. We were both wheel chair passengers since we both had surgeries during our stay in India. We suffered a lot of both physical and mental trauma due to the negligent attitude of the Lufthansa representatives at DFW. Finally, the supervisor of wheel chair associates contacted American Airlines and AA allowed us to fly to DFW on an SFO--DFW flight that left SFO at around 3:55 PM. We reached DFW at 9:15 PM. The suffering that we endured due to the cancellation of the DEL-FRA flight and the resulting rerouting to SFO was considerable

Manchester-Leipzig

Economy

No reason given

I was at Munich airport about to board my flight to Frankfurt when I got a text about my flight being cancelled. There was no reason given to me as to why it’s cancelled. When I arrived to Frankfurt they changed my flight ticket to a train ticket and then whilst I was on the train to leipzig, they also got terminated so I had to go back to Frankfurt and get a hotel and get a flight the next day. I’ll provide the train ticket in the files.

Due to flight cancellation at Munich I was provided an alternative route via Brussels. I was supposed to reach manchester by 17:00 but I reached manchester at 23:30 a delay of 6.5hrs. My total travel journey from Wroclaw to Manchester went from 4.5 hours to 10.5 hours.
