hier ein Bericht eines brasilianischer Passagiers in F auf der LH506, die letzte Woche wegen Gewitter verspätet abflog:
Just arrived back in Brazil in Luftansa 747 first. There was heavy pour in Frankfurt, but the crew kept delaying the flight to wait for passengers on a late Tel Aviv arrival, until the airport closed (Frankfurt curfew) and the flight was cancelled. All the information we got was to deplane and not wait for bags. That’s all. We didn’t get hotels, meals or ground transportation, nothing.
The was also no definition whether the flight was getting rescheduled.
So a fellow first passenger (who I just met) got quickly trough passport control (mine is Brazilian) and reserved the last room at a hotel in the city centre for me. I arrived hours later (passport control was a zoo) and kept myself awake until the app showed any news, which it did at 3am. There was no email, no push notification on the app, nothing. The next day I got to the airport, and again my flight kept being delayed further and further. I could not understand their stand, since Swiss first to GRU had 7 (!!) seats available. When I finally convinced them to rebook me, our original flight was boarding (20h late), so I went with it. Got to GRU so late that there was no more flights to Brasilia, so had to pay for a hotel and a new flight (which cost me EUR 500).
Lufthansa did nothing and already responded to my emails simply ignoring the various receipts I send them (hotel, taxi etc.).
If that’s how they treat their only 4 first class passengers on that flight, imagine how they treat the 300+ in economy.
DISGUSTED at Lufthansa ground crew, but cannot not praise their FAs who were also abandoned by the airline (they only got out the plane at 2am and had no ground transport or hotels), but still delivered very kind service. Also, we got the exact same catering, which impressed me as well.
I flew Lufthansa's Airbus A380 first class from Munich to Boston. Here's what made this such a great experience!
