Lufthansa is a great airliner. BUT: they should invest a bit more in training their crew to be more friendly. Lately I've been flying with Qatar, Thai, Gulf Air, Turkish and Emirates (and a few more) and there is day and night difference. Maybe because the Lufthansa crew is older (in age) they forgot the words SMILE. (said by a Frequent Flyer member of Lufthansa)

@hotelhotel111 well I found a great crew on Ryanair ! :)

@hotelhotel111

their grounfstaff in frankfurt and munich is very unfriendly!

Lufthansa are OK however, they are not as good as KLM and they are also more expensive than KLM, Turkish Airlines and even BA Frankfurt is a great airport too. Schiphol is the best hub airport in Europe in my small opinion more places you can have a comfortable sleep that you'd have to pay for, in many airports in England.

@binisch

I agree! The Frankfurt ground staff are awful!!! I found the Munich staff to be much more professional.

@binisch it's true, I even considered they are rude to passengers. My husband and his family had over than 12 hours terrible experience with them, even with the cabin crews. We are never ever choose Lufthansa again.
