Bangkok airport needs a redesign to make it more accommodating for passengers with long layovers between flights. It needs a better selection of restaurants, stores and rest rooms near the departure gates. It also needs a shuttle or other transport system to help passengers transit the long distances between gates in different concourses.
Pros: "The crew was excellent."
Cons: "The business seats at B777-300ER was very uncomfortable for a long distance trip with duration of 14,5 hours."
Pros: "I like the crew members"
Cons: "Entertainment selection and food could be better"
Pros: "Nothing special."
Cons: "Meal was disappointing. Beef was overcook and hard. Service quality is just okay."
Pros: "Seats are spacious even for economy class."
Pros: "crew handled the tough crowd well, but were not extremely hospitable"
Cons: "food was disgusting"
Cons: "Security screening very slow"
Cons: "For better leg room in business class go for the bulkhead seats"
Pros: "The crew was lackluster; unusual for Singapore Airlines. Tall individuals will not like the business class seats."
Pros: "Okay in general, nothing impressive"
Cons: "Food certainly need improvement, lacking in attention to ensure food quality. Crews need proper training in customer service."
Pros: "The cabin crew was pretty good. This was the only saving grace in otherwise very poor experience"
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 2 hours and they changed the gate from one end of the terminal (A15) to the other (C1). The waiting area was cramped. This being the home of Singapore Airlines, the way managed this entire thing was pathetic. Boarding announcements were also confusing."
Cons: "Everything. Singapore Airlines had a great reputation. Imagine my disappointment. It was a horrible flight. The crew was nice enough, but inattentive. The food, if such a term may be applied here, was inedible. Just vile. In flight entertainment was a complete joke. Boarding was awful, but it always is. Seats were extremely uncomfortable. This racket is the ultimate way to rip somebody off of $1000. Horrible."
Pros: "Prompt and timely service"
Cons: "Food can be more tasty"
Pros: "SIA service and food is always good. The flight went by quickly which is good."
Cons: "The entertainment system for the 777 did not have a touchscreen which I have been accustomed to on other SIA flights, but the main issue was the brightest setting for the screen was very dim. I think the screen is just old and not as bright as before."
Pros: "In general it was all very good - I flew Premium Economy but I didn’t see much difference at all between that and Economy. There was a bit more leg room but that was about it, Having said that Singapore Airlines overall is pretty good - toilets kept nice and clean and everyone well taken care of."
Pros: "Spacious business class seats, toilets super clean and well stocked. The best eye shades ever encountered."
Pros: "Espresso coffee, champagne, crew, headphones"
Pros: "So good to get on a flight where I can fit in the seats..."

Pros: "The wonderfully kind and friendly air hosts and hostesses"
Pros: "service, good TV quality and good movie selection"
Cons: "sound quality with headphones was horrible"
Pros: "The food wss delicious which was surprising. The lamb stew with fresh peas was delicious, and I don't even like peas!"
Cons: "Th entertainment system was old and tiny. Think watching VHS video tapes on a five inch screen. I think my phone screen was wider."
Pros: "My partner had a bad leg and the staff were very attentive and helpful in making her as comfortable as possible with extra pillows and getting ice for her ice pack."
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep without getting a really stiff neck. The vegetarian oriental meal was bee hoon with vegetables but the amount of vegetables were a lot more than the bee hoon thus making the meal less than filling and satisfying."
Pros: "Singapore crew are on their feet and working for the entire flight. Great service!"
Pros: "Everything else was good"
Cons: "Old aircraft with tired looking seats."
Pros: "Really recommended . Wait alittle longer but i got a free tour go around Singapore ."
Pros: "Food & condition"
Cons: "Crew were unfriendly and rude"
Pros: "The staff were great, very efficient."
Cons: "I asked to be placed in a seat as close to the front as possible as I suffer from motion sickness in the back of the plane. I was placed in the back row all the way to my destination and all the way home. I vomited 8 times and felt very sick. I did notice that there were many seats available in the front of the plane but they are never given out as women with babies and children always get them and then single travellers like myself are made sit in the back. I travel a lot, I usually fly Qantas and they are very good at providing seats closer to the front. I will be reluctant to fly Singapore Airlines again due to the fact that they were not accommodating at all."
Pros: "The plane cabin, the ease of seat selection, friendly helpful cabin crew, quality and choice of food, facilities in the toilets (mouth wash, hand cream, etc), choice of entertainment, early arrival, the price."
Cons: "That I could not afford to travel first class! which must have been marvellous when economy so good."

Pros: "It is really nice to have a direct flight option to Singapore"
Pros: "Hot/Cold towels, great movie selection, more space, good meals"
Pros: "Crew were friendly and constantly moving through the cabin with drinks and snacks (outside of meal times)"
Cons: "The in-flight entertainment systems are really showing some wear & tear. The screen was blurry, the letters on the control buttons had work off and the sound quality was terrible."
Pros: "The service was amazing. The flight attendants were all so friendly and eager to assist. The meals were very tasty and complimentary wine was such a treat. Blankets were nice and thick, pillows were comfy, and you even received a little bag with socks and toothbrush."
Cons: "Can't think of anything:)"
Pros: "We really enjoyed this airline!"
Pros: "I understand why this airline is ranked very high. The food was very good, the seats have more legroom even in coach and the movie selection was good."
Cons: "The plane was about 1/4 full. Not that that's bad I just thought it should be mentioned."
Pros: "The crew was very good. Seat was comfortable."
Cons: "Running water in the bathroom."
Pros: "The crew was amazing."
Cons: "The customer service from Qatar Airways. No one communicates and it was very frustrating to deal with."
Pros: "Crew were helpful"

Pros: "The Crew was amazing. The Seat were the best Selling point fort business class"
Cons: "More space for the arm rest ans legs space"
Pros: "Great crew, aircraft etc"
Cons: "General - King Hamad airport is brand new and yet there still aren't enough gates to comfortably service all QA aircraft."
Cons: "For deboarding they used stairs (not ramps) at their hub in Doha - must be some sort of new innovation to improve fitness. The Wifi onboard was in name only - it was so slow you wouldn't notice it is working or not - i flew Qatar because they claimed to have Wifi- hugely disappointed."
Pros: "My comments are as above . On the Auckland to Quatar leg of my journey Excellent airline and crew."
Pros: "Of all the flights and airlines I have used this was definitely the top of my list . The aircraft was clean , the crew were polite, curious, and attentive nothing was too much trouble. The food looked good tasted good and was plentiful. The pyjama were a nice added touch and very comfortable for the long flight. Flying into Cardiff airport was so good for my intended destination. I would certainly recommend them to others and many airlines could learn from their example.Well done and thank you"
Cons: "There was nothing I didn't like about this flight"
Cons: "Crew members are waking up for lunch and breakfast but not for snacks and other beverages. We are feeling hungry later. we aren't knowing when they ll provide."
Pros: "I really like the Qatar flight from Auckland to Manchester. But beware now that the Akl leg leaves 1 hour later the transit in Doha is officially 1.15hr. But since the first leg is always getting in and you have to bus to the terminal, transit time is about 30 mins. Although they are efficient and i made it this time, i wouldn't want to do this with kids."
Cons: "Short transit time"
Pros: "The crew was attentive and polite. The flights were on time, and the entertainment options were good. The Doha airport is quite nice, with many eating and retail options. although everything is very expensive, even by airport standards."
Cons: "My wife and I personally don't mind a selection that leans heavily toward Indian food, but I imagine others will not. The main courses were mediocre and the "sandwich" offered between meals on the 13+ hour flight was cold, soggy and inedible. The seats on our A350 were hard and not very comfortable, and the recline function was difficult to operate. Security at the Doha airport was confusing. We had to go through 3 separate checkpoints for our transfer, each with different rules and procedures. The final check at our departure gate was the worst, with impatient officials giving hurried instructions in heavily-accented English, and scolding if passengers didn't understand. I was sent back through a second time to remove my camera from the bag (and to be scolded by the agent), and was patted down a second time coming back through the x-ray, which had green-lighted me both times. It made me wonder if this was a reaction to the extra scrutiny that Arab passengers receive from our airport security in the USA."
Pros: "Attention to detail. Very professional."
Cons: "being in the middle of three"
Pros: "Crew members were very accommodating and helpful (Valencial & Hanane). They go the extra mile to make sure that we were enjoying the flight in the best possible ways. This is what makes Qatar Airways stand out and different from the rest."
Cons: "There was a person name Manzoor at Lahore airport working with Qatar Airways ticketing he was asking me to pay him $50 to help me get boarding pass. i will also contact Qatar Airways about this incident if this issue is not going to forward to the airline please let me know."
Pros: "good crew"
Cons: "plane hadn't been cleaned (trash/food garbage in the seat pockets), plane was very hot"
Pros: "The on flight entertainment is great. It’s very accommodating especially for long flights."
Cons: "Onboarding was ridiculous. They merged two gates together with no instructions to the large crowd of people boarding the plane. We were scheduled to start boarding at a certain time and we didn’t actually board until 45 minutes later. When we asked the attendants when we would begin boarding and did they have any instructions they were extremely rude, laughing with one another and taking selfies. When we we asked for the third time they brushed us off with a time frame. It was extremely disappointing."
Pros: "Friendly and helpful staff."
Cons: "No entertainment available. A very old plane."
Cons: "Ord to Doh: People kept window blinds open all through 15 hour flight Flight temperature kept very warm"
Pros: "Very comfortable flight with excellent service."
Cons: "My seat would not go back. The food was all carbohydrates and quite cool instead of warm. There was only one tiny piece of chicken in chicken roll."
Pros: "Friendly and genuine staff. Clean plane. Staff were well organised."
Cons: "Headphones didn’t fit my head and began to hurt my ears. Media cut out a lot."
Cons: "Connecting Qatar flight should have been held, instead wen had to spend 9 hours in the airport until next flight"
Pros: "Service, attentiveness, food."
Cons: "lack of ability to pay to upgrade even though there was plenty of empty business class. (Almost all seats were available)"
Pros: "Never spending too long waiting for anything."
Cons: "More realistic options to upgrade. Example I can board a train in London and upgrade to first class for £20 to Edinburgh. If you have a coach class or business class empty. Have capacity to feed extra or not. Last minute upgrades can be both a revenue stream and another option to further satisfy some customers. Particularly older generations that can afford and would fund such a win win appealing."
Pros: "Doha to hyd was good. Crew was courteous."
Cons: "Even after online checkin. Just to drop the bags it took 1 hr. The thin old black lady at the baggage drop off counter was very partial in treating people. She allowed a black male take 27.8 kgs but asked us to adjust our bags when we had 23 kgs. Also if the passenger is allowed to carry a laptop bag, according to her training and theory she only knows 1 shape and does not recognize a back pack which has only the laptop. I travelled several times in Qatar, but never had this kind of experience."
Pros: "the crew as more customer friendly, and it appeared they really take care of customer, not just put some words on paper."
Cons: "i have requested the child meal on the web site and also requested the seat preferences, however when i boarded the flight, i came to know that they have only honored the seat preferences but not the food. on the serving menu, the veg option was available but we informed that the veg is available only if we have requested it on the web site, i had to survive with add-on food but not the real meal. crew were struggling to serve food for us."
Cons: "More veriaty on music would be good"
Pros: "Wonderful airline! Very nice and friendly staff. I will fly with them again."
Pros: "The friendliness of the staff from check in to arrival!"
Pros: "Ease of boarding process,"
Cons: "Food while going to Hyderabad. Unfortunately, we have ordered Lacto Veg thinking they will provide milk etc. That food was horrible"
Cons: "The online check in system was down so we all had to line up to check in."
Pros: "Got upgraded to Business Class :-)"
Cons: "Not much of Movies options to watch"
Cons: "...as mentioned, I don't have the pleasure of rating this flight because of the boarding delays and missing the flight. Very disappointing."
Cons: "Long flight on a 777-200. Crowded aircraft, crew not very attentive to call light, and food mediocre at best. Entertainment service was horrible, old movies and typical Qatar Airline selection of Bollywood films (Expected when flying from Doha, but not New Zealand!) Seat would not recline, but no option to move to another isle seat."
Cons: "Lack of internet access is not acceptable during long flights."
Pros: "Generally good experience at least as far as a very long flight with two children can go. Good food with plenty and quite healthy snacks for kids. Very friendly and attentive crew, comparably comfortable seats, clean and comfortable bathrooms (what not always has been my experience with other airlines)"
Cons: "Due to a misunderstanding at check-in we have been seated away from a baby bassinette (although booked) to sit together with my husband, nobody asked what my preference would be (sitting as a whole family or having a bassinette) and a 17-hour flight with a 9month old baby constantly on my lap was challenging. Also a very disappointing selection of films and documentaries for adults. I ended watching a kids movie with my older daughter and it was the only thing I found appealing. Kids section very good though, my 5-year old was glued to the screen and all the options had my approval :)"
Pros: "Qatar has an amazing service. The staff is impecable, the food is great, they take care of each detail. Business class is superb. They make the bed, give you a complimentary pitada and moisture lotion. Can't be better than that."
Pros: "The flight was not full so there was room to stretch. And the crew was more friendly because they were not overwelmed."
Pros: "Everything was good!"
Cons: "I had a torn budd/hamstring muscle and an upgrade to another class would have been great because I was in constant pain. Hopefully, when I return in a few days - this could be arranged?"
Pros: "Seats were roomy and leaned back quite comfortably. The gluten free meals I had were fantastic, which I've never said before of an airplane , even regular meals."
Cons: "I had 2 checked in luggage, and both TSA lock on it was cut. Since it was TSA lock, I do not understand why both locks were cut instead of being opened with the international key. it cost me 10 USD it for the locks."
Pros: "Amazing airline with excellent crew and ground staff ever willing to help!"
Cons: "I have booked the flight for my mom and I requested a wheel chair her, she Has a broken arm . And I booked the flight with this company cos I thought they have a great service, but not what I expected, they didn't provide a wheel chair and she has to drag all the bag with one working arm , so I m not pretty satisfied with the trip at all and I won't fly with th company any more"
Pros: "Perfect landing."
Cons: "My seat was too far from Toilet.."
Pros: "Best airline in the sky"
Cons: "The TV wasn't working and the crew I asked for help didn't do anything about it"
Cons: "Too tight seatings"
Pros: "The crew was professional and very engaging"
Cons: "The food I was served was the same on the last flight I had...wich was 3 weeks prior. A little variety would be appreciated. The quality was excellent, but..."
Cons: "Flight attendants have limited English fluency."
Pros: "Flight was on time."
Cons: "Cooler temperatures in the cabin Vegetarian meal options More individual water bottles for passengers Flight attendants answering call light promptly"
Pros: "I was travelling with two cats, one in cargo and one in the cabin. The crew were excellent in letting me know how the one in cargo was doing and everyone was very nice to my other cat as well. They both came through the flight happy and healthy!"
Cons: "The crew in Berlin gave me the last seat at the airplane which does not recline. I find this to be very unprofessional especially for some with Gold Status with Star Alliance. In addition, they assured me an aisle seat in the connecting flight, which was not the case, it was a middle seat. I felt cheated by the desk crew in Berlin."
Pros: "The way that crew made the comfortable light by asking everybody seating near windows to close the sheets so the passengers can rest! Thank for that"
Cons: "Nothing comes up to my mind"
Pros: "Food and entertainment were great."
Cons: "The air conditioner was on full blast for a trip to Istanbul, Turkey from NYC. It was very uncomfortable and I could not get any sleep because I was freezing the whole way. Seriously, two sweaters and a blanket did not help. My hands were so cold I the entire time."
Cons: "I checked in 4 hours prior to departure. While in the international zone in Casablanca Airport my cellphone switched time-zone. As a result I arrived "punctual" at the gate exactly 1 h too late, the flight left without me. Neither Turkish Airlines nor Royal Air Maroc (operating this flight) attempted to contact me via my cell phone. Disappointing."
Pros: "I was impressed by how Turkish Air treated me when I missed my connecting flight in Istanbul It was confusing to say the least but once I got to the right location they could not have been any friendlier, kinder, or gracious My hats off to Turkish Air THANK YOU"
Cons: "It was a tight space and they kept giving me things (pillow,blanket, slippers and socks, and headphones) that I didn’t need or have room for I appreciate the thought Return trip I’ll be more aware and decline what I don’t need"
Cons: "The stewardess actually I insisted that I do NOT recline my chair during the flight. The chairs are already too small. The person behind me didn’t have any room so I had to place it in the upright position. They ran out of chicken on both flights too"
Pros: "Good food, new movies and good leg space"
Cons: "Flight was delayed by an hour, luckily managed to make my connecting flight"
Pros: "Boarding in time"
Cons: "Selected food was not provided, old airplane, no entertainment"
Pros: "Entertainment screens good"
Cons: "On the flight from Istanbul to Malaga the entertainment screens were very poor."
Pros: "Got an exit row window seat."
Cons: "Didn't happen. My first leg to Athens was canceled which created a humongous headache since it ended up canceling my return flights. Air Canada had to put me on completely new flights there and back. I think this has taught me to go directly through an airline. Justfly was not helpful. Neither was Turkish airlines."
Cons: "The grilled cheese sandwiches. They've been in the menu for a while but my family does not enjoy them at all. Tuna sandwich on another flight was much better. Also lack of entertainment. They allow you to access it, then they turn it off. Is such a tease. Plane left late and kept us in very hot cabin."
Pros: "They try hard and have 90% sorted . Ground crew great checking in easy and planes are modern and comfortable"
Pros: "The crew was really friendly and responsive. Boarding was easy and hassle free because Business class passengers had to go through a seperate gate to board."
Cons: "The food was OK, especially the appetizer as it was all cheese and since I dont like cheese, I rate it poor. The inflight entertainment was good but there was a lack of choices in music and tv shows."
Cons: "Boarding was very annoying because when you go through security they make you feel like a total criminal for no reason. Checking our laptops as if we have something to hide. We already went through 3 security checks prior to boarding the flight. Security staff was extremely rude and inconsiderate for peoples belongings."
Pros: "I did nit like anything..."
Cons: "I hate kayak.."
Pros: "Likes: The staff were prompt and friendly. The food was more varied and imaginative than on other airlines. Also, the fact that you get a refund, without any hassle, if you need to change your travel plans, makes this airline unique."
Cons: "Suggestions: A few more centimetres of space between the rows of seats would work wonders. A piece of fruit (apple or tangerine) would add to the enjoyment of the food. A wider range and variety of movies would increase the quality of the entertainment."
Pros: "Great entertainment system (though nothing new since my last flight 2 weeks ago)."
Cons: "As all airplanes, seats are somewhat cramped, and the food, while good enough, is pretty much the same it is on every Turkish Airlines flight. Some more variety might be nice."
Pros: "It was a very fine flight Kosher food was fine Only problem was very long lines at boarding and repetitive"
Cons: "No, disappointments:)"
Cons: "My only complaint would have to be that their bathrooms on the plane were a dirty. Other then that the airlines was excellent!!!! I would definitely recommend Turkish Airlines to family and friends."
Pros: "The water"
Cons: "There was a malfunction on the aircraft after the first taxi attempt. I understand that these things happen but there was zero communication from the captain or the crew. Because there was no power, the A/C was not operational and the cabin grew extremely hot. No water was distributed, and no attempt to communicate the situation with the passengers. The pilot power cycled the aircraft numerous times, which is normal to reset the various systems, but this made many passengers nervous. Finally the issue was resolved and we went on our merry way. In short, all crew-passenger issues could have been resolved with more communication and water. Go forth and sin not again."
Pros: "The service in the flight was good."
Cons: "There was a delay of one hour at the transit ."
Pros: "I like the food which were served, I like everything overal"
Pros: "The food on flight."
Cons: "Ground staff in Istanbul were very rude! Staff would not respond to lights turned on on the flight as well, for any assistance."
Cons: "Worst flight I have ever been in. Horrible leg space. It was so uncomfortable."
Cons: "The lateness of flights"
Pros: "Good food, very polite and attentive staff."
Cons: "Seat cushions lack comfort and the legroom is not sufficient for a average size person."
Cons: "seat 53 B is not a seat for human beings on a plane. this is the last seat on the plane. next to food area and bathroom. seat back does not go all the way back. it is not built for 10 hours flight."
Pros: "Very friendly crew, specially a guy I believe was called Gilbert maybe."
Cons: "There was no intertainment only the map. Not even music."
Pros: "crew was very very nice!"
Cons: "not enough leg room"
Cons: "Sits are uncomfortable and very tight compare to other delta for example also the food quality is poor, the quality and ingredients are cheap."
Pros: "I was treated much like a first-class customer flying in coach. Food and beverage service as quite good. Turkish Airlines certainly beats any of the US airlines' on-board coach service by a long shot."
Cons: "I didn't like having to check my laptop at the gate. I wished they would have told me advance, as I was planing a lot of work on plane, and could not."
Cons: "Crew was confused and didn't work well, food horrible and they lost my luggage . Bad customer service after lost luggage from call center. Rude customer service representative and inaccurate information many times. Very frustrating"
Cons: "Boarding process in Istanbul was very difficult. 5 security checks just getting from the plane from Brussels to our gate is excessive and time consuming. Very little organization at the gate as well. Not smooth at all."
Pros: "Turkish airlines is the worst of the worst."
Pros: "The flight on time"
Cons: "Nothing. A short flight, not much expectation besides on time departure and arrival"
Pros: "DC to Istanbul: Good food and nice flight experience. Helpful staff were always ready to help. Istanbul to DC: clean, maintained aitcraft, nice crew, good food."
Cons: "DC to Istanbul: Broken bathroom lock. Not very clean aisles. Very few English speaking crew. Istanbul to DC: Ran out of second option lunch. This seem to happen frequently. Most of the crew members were strangely not around. This resulted in two overworked crew members and lots of trays sitting on our laps for sometime. I was curios what all the other ones were doing."
Pros: "This was the return flight I skipped base on the horrible customer service I received on the first leg of the flight."
Cons: "The bording process, the customer service and attention."
Cons: "got downgraded without any explanation on board. a technitian moved the curtain no explanation. called the purser and been told that its not the responsibility of the cabin crew!"
Late boarding. Late take off. Late landing.
Tiny plane Had to gate check bags, a problem since we were flying back from an international vacation
Bread stale. Croissant stale. Person behind me was kicking me throughout flight. Boarding slow.
Food has poor quality and taste Entertainment system is very slow responding
Cons: "I was supposed to have wheelchair assistance. None there. Flight was on time. Passenger assistance is AWFUL!!!"
Cons: "Will never use Lufthansa again"
Cons: "Delayed flight made me miss my connection and spend a night in Frankfurt. Take off time, bag didn’t come out as priority, waited over 25 minutes."
Cons: "I had ordered pre flight online duty free shopping. Got a confirmation e-mail telling me that articles were reserved for me and I should approach crew members on board for the articles I had reserved. Reality however was that my pre ordered articles were not registered in their system :-("
Pros: "1st Class is a joke. They leave the middle coach seat vacant. You do have more overhead storage since there are fewer people in "1st Class". Otherwise you may as well be in coach. For flights within Europe this appears to be the standard. Save you money fly coach when traveling within Europe."
Cons: "The seat and service."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly"
Pros: "Friendly cabin crew"
Pros: "Crew was excellent"
Cons: "Food was horrible. Breakfast consisted of a dry muffin and an oreo cookie"
Pros: "Very comfortable flight. Excellent take off and landing. Liked the extra legroom in coach for a bit more $$. Super friendly & professional crew. PA system was very difficult to understand."
Cons: "the food was a bit bland. Selection of movies very limited"
Cons: "never got to goddamn frankfurt"
Pros: "Crew and flight and service were fine"
Cons: "Economy seats are cramped"
Pros: "We left DFW in extremely hot weather. The ground crew managed the boarding to keep everyone out of the hot tunnel entry as long as possible. Even through there was a delay in boarding already, the crew kept us well informed. The cabin crew was very pleasant and accommodating. Smooth flight and still made it to our connecting flight on time."
Cons: "Leg room in coach is really cramped but that is all airlines unfortunately."
Cons: "Delay and food was bad"
Pros: "Only thing I liked was getting off that compact death trap"
Cons: "It took ages to go through the security check, although I have mentioned that I have a flight connection that is due to leave nobody gave a s..t, so I missed my flight. Now I’m waiting at the airport"
Pros: "Efficient crew. Quick service, quick flight."
Cons: "No negatives."
Pros: "Except the 3-4 hours gap of bringing water the flight was quite pleasant"
Cons: "Well-known German punctuality is a myth! We spent 1.5 hours on the plane waiting take off both ways!"
Pros: "The premium economy clas was wonderful. All of the amenities, comfort, room made a long trip far more enjoyable. The crew was right there to help me get to the next gate."
Cons: "Frankfurt airport is dreadful. I'm elderly and being forced to climb up and down stairs to the Tarmac with luggage and then crammed into a bus to the terminal was terrible. I would avoid Frankfurt at all costs. Lufthansa needs to take some initiative with this."
Cons: "I wish boarding by Priority was better organized"
Pros: "Friendly crew, nice food and wine."
Pros: "Great flight crew, very friendly. Was just slightly alarmed that my friends and I never once had to show ID or passport to get onto the plane, especially given the current turmoil in europe. otherwise, enjoyed the flight and will fly more"
Cons: "Due to repair aircraft equipmen, almost 1h delay my flight."
Pros: "The flights were lovely, the food was very good (for airline food), the drinks were generous - even the cheap seats were offered wine or cocktails! And after dinner were served coffee with Bailey's or cognac. Hot towels were provided. I would seek out a Lufthansa flight again."
Cons: "It was very difficult to click into any movies, etc. That needs to be looked into. I spent a ridiculous amount just trying to get into a movie."
Pros: "By far the best flying experience in a long time..."
Pros: "Very comfortable"
Pros: "Everything about this flight was amazing. The food was fantastic, the service was better, and my comfort was always at maximum. This company makes all American domestic companies pale in comparison."
Pros: "Handy baggage check-in at Airport's Railroad Station. Decent meal, drink selection, and even warm towelettes in Economy."
Cons: "Everything was good"
Cons: "Very crowded, the lady behind us was coughing her lungs out the whole flight. Flight was smooth but arrived behind schedule. Actually landed on time but we didn't get to the terminal for almost 15 minutes. The Frankfurt airport is a nightmare, worst designed airport I have been through."
Pros: "The crew did really well in serving everyone. They were polite, helpful and on the go from the time we boarded until the time we landed."
Cons: "The greatest issue I have has to do with the state of Gatwick which is now under construction. Air conditioning was not available at our gate nor the seating area. We stood at our gate for a long time before being processed so that we could enter the seating area for the flight. We went from hot to hotter prior to boarding."
Cons: "We were delayed by complicated connection from Vienna train station to Vienna airport, by the time we arrived, we missed our flight. We called your customer service, and a recording stated that we would get a reply within 48 hrs. We contacted website customer service and it stated that we would get a reply within 48 hrs. We needed immediate assistance from a HUMAN BEING to change our reservation, that was impossible. We were forced to purchase new tickets, the cost was $2,500, we had to stay overnight in a nearby hotel, the cost was $220. We are returning one day later than planned all because we could not reach you."
Cons: "A large airport with gates very far apart...connecting flights booked too closely together! I got to gate for next Lufthansa flight and was denied access"
Pros: "Flights were on time. Both Air Canada and Lufthansa Airlines Service, including sitting and boarding process were relatively smooth."
Cons: "12 hour long flight from Frankfurt to LA was exhausting."
Cons: "Seating to small and tight I am only 5'11 175 lbs"
Pros: "The crew was friendly. They offered half a sandwich and drinks which was unexpected (and delicious)for a short flight."
Cons: "There was no negative only positive, two thumbs up....."
Pros: "All was very proffessional"
Pros: "Again, excellent customer service. Can't say enough."
Cons: "They lost my luggage and have refused to help me locate them."
Pros: "The live streaming of the NBA finals game on the flight was excellent."
Cons: "The check in process was incredibly inefficient. I have never had to wait so long to check in my bags. The attendants were chatting and laughing while not helping customers and customers were unfairly taken from the middle of the line to jump the queue."
Pros: "The boarding process and flight was smooth and punctual"
Cons: "We were stuck on the plane for over an hour after we landed in Munich without enough updates on the situation. We waited for the stairs and bus to come then when we got to the terminal our bags did not come and I had to get my baggage shipped. This was very inconvenient and there was not any notification for the baggage delay."
Cons: "The connections for audio wasn'y working, false contact..."
Cons: "The Seats were really old and no new movies"
Pros: "Overall satisfied."
Cons: "The plane (A330) was parked at outer parking position away from the terminal building. They kept us waiting inside the bus for almost 30min with barely working AC at 40+ degC. Once the bus arrived to the plane embarking was done via roofless staircase."
Cons: "Rushed boarding at ccj"
Cons: "Need more leg room even for regular economy seating"
Cons: "No sweets were served in any meals. Not even a chocolate candy."
Pros: "The crew were pleasant and visible."
Cons: "Food quality was pretty poor. It used to be so good. I had sea bass which was so dry. There were a group of 30 people travelling together. They monopolised the lobby bar and were rowdy and noisy despite requests from the crew. The flat bed is so hard, it needs a mattress."
Pros: "pretty simple flight, not too packed so I could spread out a bit, slept like a baby really -- super safe flight, I love that"
Cons: "the food, as mentioned above -- meh, you guys are better than the others but still, not so great"
Cons: "Food needs to get better."
Cons: "The smell inside the flight"
Pros: "The movies were okay."
Cons: "The fellow traveller next to me was a large man who unfortunately spilled over onto me, either his legs pushed mine away or his arms covered mine underneath his. Then as it was a night flight, he fell asleep and snored in my ear - I didn't get any sleep at all. All in all it wasn't a nice experience."
Pros: "I liked everything but I still could not find out if I was getting credit on the frequent flyer sustem"
Cons: "Crew was very rude, ground or air. Our layoff was 11.hours nobody provide us food or hotel, we stayat terminal 3 for 11 hours. Seats were assigned to us was in the end of craft though we're 1st in check in. Food was rotten like dogybag with no class. Head phone were broken."
Pros: "Same good entertainment. Flight left and landed on time. Breakfast was enjoyable but they had ran out of options so I didn’t get a choice, but still enjoyed what I got (banana bread)"
Cons: "I don’t recall there being an announcement to say that the flight was boarding, only the screen in the waiting area saying so."
Pros: "As I said, the crew and facility were pretty good. But the bad things really ruined the trip and pissed me off."
Cons: "First of all, I tried to purchase the on-plane WiFi. That didn't happen, as I was told there was an error in purchasing and I didn't end up getting any connection. Yet when I got off the plane, I realized that I was nevertheless charged for $12. This was definitely annoying, and they still haven't gotten back to me. Secondly, which is very frustrating and infuriating, was the fact that not only was my checked luggage delayed, they did not call me or reply to my emails with any useful information on my luggage's situation. To this date, I have no idea where it is, if it's lost or damaged, or when can they deliver it to me. I had all my clothes, my DSLR camera and gifts in my luggage, and I had to buy a bunch of stuff in the next few days because I didn't have those things. It has been more than a week, and they still haven't gotten back to me on anything. For this reason alone, I think they totally deserve a poor overall rating, especially because I chose them in the first place because I trusted their good ratings."
Cons: "Food is terrible and they always run short of food."
Cons: "Food and service was better before in 2016"
Cons: "Terrible service, lost all my luggage with no recall on where"
Pros: "Very courteous and professional crew"
Pros: "Nothing special"
Cons: "food and service."
Cons: "The seat was not comfortable at all to narrow and short distance you can not eat or set or sleep"
Pros: "Amazing food"
Cons: "The cabin crew never really heeds to your call sign requests. I clearly remember being in need of help but no one showed up for 45 mins starisght; I had to catch them when they were serving food."
Cons: "Staff is rude. No efforts to make the customer feel comfortable. Just get the money and disown attitude."
Pros: "The movie options and food were good."
Cons: "This flight had the potential to be good as the entertainment and food options were good, but I felt cramped and the volume of the surrounding passengers was awful. There were three crying babies, which I know neither the airline nor the families themselves can control, as well as one child with special needs who was making a lot of noise the whole flight. I wasn't able to sleep at all for that reason. Additionally, I was disappointed that the flight was late and that the deplaning process was so long – we taxied for a long time and there was only one staircase, so we were very late."
Cons: "they have a uncomfortable seats in a long flights and comfortable seats in short flights like Abo Dhabi - Bahrain"
Pros: "Kind personnedl"
Cons: "Luggage was not transferred on time, and it took over 3 days to locate them."
Pros: "The trip was very comfortable . The boing 787 was a new plane and economy had a very good leg space The 3 3 3 seating is excellent"
Pros: "The service was very efficient and warm. The food was tasty. The team was throughout helpful and prompt."
Pros: "It's amazing flight ever Ghezlan the hostess she awesome and helpful with all the passengers I love her cause she's wonderful"
Pros: "A little better than the phuket flight but still pretty bad service. Airplane was filthy because crew werent pick up the garbage after breakfast and lunch."
Cons: "They have restrictions more than any other flight about the size of the hand luggage- My parents were allowed to bring one hand luggage without any problems, but they were not allowed to take it back because it was "Big!" it did not put on weight or get fat! its a hand luggage that stays the same size! They blame it on the TSA and say it has to fit in and asked us to pay 325 $ to take the same bag that they brought things in."
Pros: "In flight crew was helpful and considerate about carrying a infant with me"
Cons: "Boarding at New Delhi was pathetic, crew asked me to go to online check in counter and it was slower than the other counters."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly, greeted us with a smile, and were there to help when needed. They were helpful when the flight got delayed because of fog."
Cons: "The food was bad. Requested for Asian Vegetarian Meal on Etihad website but was served the vegetarian option. I also heard a passenger complaining that she requested for a vegetarian food but was given a meal with chicken."
Cons: "TERRIBLE time management!! Missed the connecting flight by a few minutes and didn't get a connecting flight for 7 hours thereafter! There was absolutely time for us customers (who landed just 20 min later than expected) to make the connecting flight but we were told it was "too late" to board the other plane. This is extremely inconvenient! I got back to SFO 14 hours after the expected time! WHY don't you guys manage your connections better?? I am never flying Etihad again!"
Pros: "Better food choice."
Cons: "The entertainment"
Pros: "new aircraft"
Cons: "Poor selection of beverages, poor selection of entertainment(same package 5 weeks after our outbound flight) service very average, attitude of attendants very average."
Pros: "First time on Etihad. Would definitely fly them again if possible"
Cons: "There was an issue with my ticket/ boarding pass from JFK to Raleigh. It was said that the exchange ticket did not reflect in the system for Jetblue and that I will have to call their call center and figure out the issue. I was lucky that I found a staff from jetblue crew who could figure out the issue and help me out. If it was not for her, I could have faced difficulties."
Pros: "Bording was fast"
Cons: "The frequent delays in departures The behavior of the canb staff was not good Specially with Arab and Asian people"
Cons: "Our flight was more than an hour late causing my father and I to miss our connecting flight. They had tickets ready for us when we got off our first flight. With very little explanation we now had to wait 5 hours for the next flight which ruined all our plans for our arrival destination. On the next flight my father and I were no longer sitting together and the plane ran out of food. I was disappointed."
Pros: "I did receive my bag, even I reserve business class."
Cons: "I did receive my bag, even I reserve business class."
Pros: "The crew was great although clearly tired. They timed meals and darkness/light well given the time zone jumping and were consistently friendly despite drab conditions of such a long flight."
Pros: "Ground staff was good"
Cons: "Flight delayed"
Cons: "Punctuality, No break fast"
Cons: "We stayed in the bus for 40 minutes before going for our flight, our luggagesite didn't come, they suppose to send our luggagesite to the hotel they didn't and are making us to go to the airport to pick them up,overall I had a very bad experience with Etihad airline."
Pros: "Boarding, departure and arrival was on time. Check in staff very helpful."
Pros: "Customer service at the counter very rude"
Cons: "Bad customer service and bad attitude"
Pros: "1 flight attendant was very friendly"
Cons: "Check-in staff wasn't friendly - more like bossy Food was terrible No space in stowage Flight attendants were very rude and seemed to be angry with their job except 1. Seats were booked but did not get the seat because someone didn't want to move and staff said to ignore him. Families with small kids and old people did not get prioritised."

Great location on a quiet street near all the main site in Amsterdam. This was second stay at the hotel because it had such a great location and was easy to get to from the airport on the bus (route 197 about 40 minutes to Leidsplien square-cost 4 Euros). This is a great hotel if you are traveling with a group of friends or family. They have rooms that accommodate up to 4 people and are reasonably priced! Hotel offers a nice free breakfast and the staff could not be more helpful.

Frontier Airlines Halts Portsmouth Service After Just 6 Months
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
Frontier Airlines is suspending its service from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, saying it will end its only route from the city on July 6, Seacoastonline reports. Frontier had just launched its Portsmouth-Orlando route in December.
Frontier suggested the change was due to poor sales.
“In this instance, demand did not materialize to support the service,” Frontier spokesman Zach Kramer said in a statement to Seacoastonline on Monday.
Portsmouth International Airport (PSM) is also served by Allegiant Airlines, which offers a similar nonstop routes between PSM and Orlando Sanford (SFB). Seascoastonline notes that Allegiant increased the frequency of its service from Portsmouth following Frontier’s launch there last December.
PSM airport officials expressed hope that Frontier’s choice to halt services will be temporary, noting that other low-cost carriers first served Portsmouth with seasonal routes before offering flights year-round.
“It’s a quiet time during the summer for Orlando service,” Airport Director Paul Brean said to Seacoastonline. “We’ll see how Portsmouth plays out in terms of the airline’s near term and long-term future.”

Getting A Good Deal On Your Next Hotel AppointmentBooking the right hotel for your vacation is crucial to the enjoyment of your vacation. If you have a bad experience with your hotel, it can spoil your entire vacation experience. Read the following article to find out things that you should consider when you are booking your hotel for your next vacation.
Prior to beginning a hotel search, try thinking about what accommodations you want and can afford. Figure out if the hotel's location is more important than its price or if you limited to hotels under a certain price range. Also consider whether you need one that has items like spas and fitness centers or just a beautiful view.
If you want to save some serious money on your hotel reservations, get the price bundled with something else. This is typically done through an online travel site. When bundled with airfare, hotel room rates drop dramatically, sometimes by over half the list rates that are publicly advertised elsewhere on the Internet.
If you have a AAA membership, it may qualify you for a hotel discount. You may be surprised that your auto club membership includes hotel discounts, but it does. You can save five percent or more on certain hotels. It really is a savings that adds up over time.
When Click In this article are staying at a hotel, it is a good idea to leave a small tip for the housekeeping staff. It is best to tip daily instead of waiting until the entire trip has come to an end since there is a chance that the same person will not be assisting you every day.
If you plan on taking a family pet with you to a hotel reservation, do three things in advance. Ascertain that your hotel is really pet friendly. Also, take a good supply of plastic bags, such as grocery bags, to clean up after your pet. When making your reservation, ask for a room at the end of the hall to spare other guests your pet noise.
To get a workout without leaving your hotel room, take your suspension training gear along. Most systems fit into a bag that doesn't weigh more than three or four pounds, and all you need is a door frame to attach the system to. You can get a solid strength training workout by using your body weight to provide resistance.
If preserving the environment is of interest to you, you can chose a "green" vacation. Luckily, many hotels are around these days for you to choose from. Newer hotels are often certified green and designed and built using green standards. Older hotels might change practices to be more green. Ask around for beach styles that are friendly to the environment.
Stay safe and secure in a hotel. Travelers to hotels are often robbed even when they are inside the room. Use every lock the hotel provides, including the handle lock, chain and deadbolt. Hotels are a magnet for shady characters looking to exploit people who are traveling with a lot of money and valuables.
Together, Costa Rican Hotel and Surf School Are Setting a New Benchmark in Sustainability
In addition to being housed in the first LEED Platinum hotel in Central America — awarded for its sustainable design and construction features with rooftop solar, recycled greywater drip irrigation, integrated tree architecture, upcycled glass mosaics, and much more — Safari Surf and Olas Verdes have evolved into a complementary sustainability management duo. They collaborate on beach cleanups, host national surf rescue trainings, volunteer for coastal reforestation, average close to 80% waste diversion, and they organize Pack for a Purpose donations to separate local schools to double their impact.Advertisement Together, Costa Rican Hotel and Surf School Are Setting a New Benchmark in Sustainability
Bring your running clothes with you on your trip. You can still enjoy your early morning jog while on vacation if you have your gear and the right room booked. It will give you a better perspective of the city you are visiting.
Review the pet policy at the hotel. If you fear pets or have allergies to them, make reservations at hotels that have a strict no pets policy. The hotels may have the smell of pet odors on the linens and floor. Some hotels add an extra charge for pets, other do not. It might not cover deep cleaning.
Use social media to your advantage if you want to get fresh deals on hotel stays. Many hotels offer deals and freebies to people that "Like" their page. In addition, giving them praise on social media is a great way to snag an upgrade and/or a special rate that has not been advertised.
Pay attention to your security when you stay at a hotel. Make note of the fire exits and locations of fire extinguishers. Keep your door locked, and keep your key or key card in a safe place. Stash any valuables in the hotel safe. Consider bringing a flashlight along and keeping it by your bed in case you need it during the night.
If you are traveling with children, make sure you tell the front desk about your needs when you call to make a reservation. For example, do you need a pack and play? Make that known before you show up at the hotel. Also, ask if there is space in the room to set up a crib. You may need to ask for a larger room so that your entire family can be comfortable.
Don't make long distance calls on your hotel phone. Try using the Internet instead to stay in touch. The hotel may even offer Skype calls via Wi-Fi. You can stay in touch with work or family without the high cost of a call from the phone in your room.
Be pleasant when checking in if you want an upgrade. Take the time to look the front desk clerk in the eye and introduce yourself to the clerk. It is also a good idea to use the clerk's name when checking-in. Don't forget to smile and be courteous when asking for an upgrade.
Many hotel chains offer reward programs to guests who stay there frequently. You can often earn credit for free rooms if you stay at a particular chain enough times. When you book a hotel, ask if they have such a program. If there is no cost to join, signing up is worth it.
Check with off-the-beaten-path sites for great deals on a hotel stay. Many of these sites offer "flash-sales." These are for rooms without much advance notice but they can offer steep discounts, even beating sites on sites like Priceline.com. Some flash-sale sites include Out Escapes and Jetsetter. They are perfect if you can take off at nearly a moment's notioe.
The advice you have read here will be very helpful in finding a great hotel. Looking out for yourself and choosing a good room based on the advice provided is going to help you fare better. A good hotel should relax and please you, and you don't have to settle for anything less.

For many travelers, finding ways to redeem their hotel credit card’s free night certificates has been quite difficult over the past 15 months. Fortunately, virtually every hotel program has done the right thing by extending these certificates to a more reasonable redemption timeline.
Now Hilton Honors has extended these certificates once again in an effort to provide more flexibility to its members. So, if you’re a Hilton Honors credit cardholder, here are the details of the latest extension.
Hilton Honors Extends Free Night Certificates
Hilton Honors credit cardholders with free night certificates issued before May 1, 2020, that were set to expire August 31, 2021, are now valid until January 3, 2022.
Free night certificates that were issued after May 1, 2020, but before December 31, 2020, are valid for 24 months from their issue date. Certificates issued between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, will expire on December 31, 2022. Further, Free Weekend Night Reward certificates can continue to be used any night of the week.
Hilton Honors Cards That Offer Free Night Certificates
Cardholders of the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card receive 1 free night certificate each year at their card renewal, plus the ability to receive 1 additional free night certificate after spending $60,000 on the card within a calendar year.
With the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card, you can earn a free weekend night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your card in a calendar year.
Just like the Hilton Surpass card, The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card allows you to earn a free weekend night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your card in a calendar year.
Hot Tip: With a few Hilton Honors credit cards to choose from, how are you to know which is the best one for you? Compare the benefits and perks of the Amex Hilton Honors credit cards in our helpful guide.
Use Your Free Night Certificate for a Caribbean Getaway
You could redeem your free night certificate at the Zemi Beach House in Anguilla, a 2-time winner of the Best Resort in the Caribbean that offers a complimentary breakfast each morning and views overlooking Shoal Bay.
Standard rooms start at 95,000 Hilton Honors points, or about $500 per night, making the property a high-value option for your free night certificate.
Need more ideas? See the best Hilton luxury hotels to book with points for maximum value.
While travel is beginning to pick back up, this is certainly a welcome extension for many Hilton Honors members who were facing a rapidly approaching use-it-or-lose-it scenario with their free night certificates. Fortunately, with all certificates being extended until at least 2022, this is no longer something that they need to worry about!
The information regarding the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, and Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card was independently collected by Upgraded Points and not provided nor reviewed by the issuer.

5 Golf Travel Tips to Avoid a Double Bogey Holiday
We have all been there, months of anticipation leading up to a holiday and when we arrive, we get that sinking feeling. Creative photography, misleading brochures and wishful websites can make the most average hotel or course look spectacular. Once you have landed, there is no turning back and often the only solution is to fork out and fix the mistakes that have already been made. Thankfully websites such as Trip Advisor are turning the tide but we still need to be careful.
We are here to make sure that the sinking feeling is one that you never have to feel again. Here are our top 5 methods to ensure that your golf getaway is serene rather than stressful!
1) Take Impartial Advice
There are two types of recommendation when it comes to a golf travel break, one with a vested interest and one without! If your mate of 20 years tells you a course is a cracker, chances are it is! If a website for the same course sings its own praises, take it with a pinch of salt.
The beauty of using a golf tour operator is that as soon as a venue drops below standard, we find out. Green Golf Travel have visited every venue that we sell and many that we don’t! If a venue does not cut it, we won’t send our clients there. There are hundreds of hidden gems out there that quietly ooze class. These venues will ensure the trip of a lifetime but don’t take their word for it, take ours!
As well as offering impartial advice, a golf tour operator will save you cost and hassle and will look after you, year after year. Build a relationship of trust with your golf tour operator and you need never have that sinking feeling again.
2) Hotel Value is Key
When it comes to choosing a hotel, cost and value are two very different things. If you are going on a golf travel break, you are not going to be spending 14 hours a day in your bedroom! For this reason, value in your hotel comes in the form of cleanliness, access to amenities, good food and a bed. Don’t spend 80% of your golf holiday budget on a room that you will only use to sleep in.
Value has different meaning for us all but if the choice is between a top notch course and a top notch bedroom, make sure you choose the former. Golf travel memories are made on the course so save the premium 5* suite for your family holiday and share a 4* twin with a mate on your golf break.
3) Avoid Mid-Morning Tee Times
Have you heard the one about the guy who teed off in Spain as a teenager and had a Zimmer frame by the 18th? The 6 hour round might like a distant nightmare, but it is a reality in many golf resorts on the continent. Unless you are a cross between Jason Day and Terry Griffiths, this type of golf will strike fear into most golfers.
There is a solution! We all like the idea of a leisurely breakfast and a 11.30 tee time but this is where the peril lies. By this time of day the course is already clogged and you will wait on every shot. Plan your night out, get to bed at a semi reasonable hour and get out on the course by 9am. As well as a 4.5 hour round, temperatures will be pleasant and the day is still young by the time you finish.
4) Beware of Hidden Costs
Always read the small print! If a deal seems too good to be true then often it is. Areas that most first time golf travel groups fall, are transport and buggies. At Green Golf Travel we will ask you for EVERY DETAIL of what you require. This may include car hire, private transfers, evening meals, buggies or all inclusive. We are realistic about your price to avoid any hidden surprises.
Our packages will always offer the best value for what you require. A no frills golf break may seem attractive but when you end up getting stung with hidden costs on arrival, your mates will only look to one person to blame!
5) Remember to Relax!
This one applies to group organisers more than the lucky lot who just turn up and play. If you are organising a golf holiday, don’t let it take over your life! A simple way to make sure of this is to pass on the work to an expert. Booking courses, organising transfers, booking hotels, making meal arrangements, taking payments and dealing with the whims of your group are what we are here for! If you need a golf break and want to relax, you need to enquire with Green Golf Travel.
My wife and I are planning on taking a vacation to golf this summer, so thanks for sharing this. I like that you suggest reading the small print to avoid any hidden fees at golf courses. We’ll be sure to ask about things like meals and transfers so we don’t get charged for something we don’t need.

We found this holiday on Secret Escapes and as it was the first holiday in two years that my wife and I had taken without our two small children, we wanted a special escape. The week we spent at Petinos Beach Hotel was more than we had hoped. The staff from the moment we arrived were courteous, helpful, full of smiles and all despite growing unease on the Greek economic front in the news every day.
The saline pool on the edge of the sea was warm enough to swim in every day in early may, as was the sea, if with a little courage.
Breakfast was a delight and the hotel was spotless.
Both Sofia and Julie on reception were always available to help with any questions.
We highly recommend this lovely hotel

Bright modern house with all mod cons. Very quiet and private, well maintained and very clean. Breakfast included in short-term rentals. Located in centre of Ireland so an ideal location for break in journey. Might also be of interest to business travellers as a more homely alternative to staying in hotel. If you wish to cook then that option is there in the evening.
Very central location. Short walking distance to local amenities. Seven minutes drive to Roscommon and fifteen to Athlone.
