Advantages
Travelling timeOn-board servicePriceDisadvantages
VolumeWith the flight number LA705 from LATAM Airlines, the flight time with the Dreamliner (Boeing 787) was around 2.5 hours. The flight itself was very quiet and comfortable. You could tell that it was a long-haul aircraft. Only the noise level was a little unpleasant. The turbines were clearly audible. Although this is not usual for short-haul flights, there was a free meal in the form of sandwiches and drinks.
Advantages
Not too long a distanceGood comfortGood equipmentDisadvantages
Unfortunately a bit turbulentNot good cateringNot particularly cleanThe journey from Frankfurt to Madrid was very relaxed. The ticket reservation worked perfectly and both the check-in and the security check went very quickly. The friendliness on the aircraft was perfect and there was nothing wrong with the service in general. Even the flight duration was relaxed and not too long and sluggish.
The flight was reasonably punctual and the comfort on the plane was great.
Unfortunately, the flight was a little turbulent and the cleanliness was good, but not particularly excellent.
Advantages
Short flight timeFast security checkFavourable priceDisadvantages
No checked baggageNo serviceScarce spaceThis flight was also with Lufthansa, as always a punctual flight and there was a speedy boarding. The flight itself was fast and pleasant, there were no problems or delays. The only thing that could be criticised was the lack of space at the seat.
Advantages
ComfortDisadvantages
PricesI flew on this flight for my holiday. The flight was very relaxed, very punctual. I would complain about the price. It was very high. But the comfort of the flight was very good. The staff were very nice. In general, I would give this flight 5 out of 5 stars, as I can associate fond memories with it.
Advantages
Fast connectionGood valueDisadvantages
Quality of the aircraftThe flight from Frankfurt am Main to Madrid with Latam Airlines and flight number LA 705 was very pleasant. Of course, you can't expect comfort here, but nothing was left to be desired. The flight was quiet and the staff were very friendly. The WCs on the flight were clean. The flight time was as indicated, with no significant delays. The aircraft itself was generally quiet and the seats were fine.
Advantages
Flight attendantDisadvantages
Late startThe flight to Madrid during my winter holiday was quite demanding. Despite the fact that I was on the plane after quite a short time, I still had to wait 30 minutes for the plane to take off. I bought a pretzel and a Coke from the staff. Recommended.
Advantages
The flight time was pleasant and the flight was smooth.The staff were friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly.The seats offered me enough space and were comfortable.Disadvantages
The selection of snacks and drinks was limited and not included in the ticket price.My flight from Frankfurt to Madrid with Condor was good overall. The seats were comfortable for the relatively short flight time and offered me enough legroom. The service on board and the staff were also good. The flight time passed quickly and the flight was quiet, which was very pleasant. One small disadvantage was the limited choice of catering, which was also subject to a charge. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio was right for me.
Advantages
PunctualitySimple bookingDisadvantages
Little legroomThe flight from Frankfurt to Madrid was fine so far, at least without any complications worth mentioning. My suitcase was a bit too heavy, which led to discussions at check-in. However, this was my fault. Apart from that, I can say that the flight ticket was okay in terms of price and the booking was very easy. The plane itself was modern, but didn't offer much legroom. There were no delays.
Advantages
SeatsCheck-inPlaceDisadvantages
NoneCheck-in was surprisingly quick and uncomplicated. I had already completed the online check-in, so all I had to do was scan my boarding pass and drop off my baggage. The staff at the counter were friendly and helpful, which made the start of the trip really pleasant. The cabin crew were friendly and attentive throughout.
There was no entertainment on board, but not surprising on such a short flight. I had my own headphones with me, but the in-flight TV offering was very limited.
The flight was smooth. There was very little turbulence and the cabin was at a pleasant temperature.
The landing in Madrid was also trouble-free.
Advantages
Pleasant flightFast check-in despite high volumeDisadvantages
Overpriced prices on boardRelaxed journey from Frankfurt to Madrid with Air Europe, departure why 10:50 and quite punctual landing at 15:00.
Seat reservation worked well beforehand, we were seated as planned.
Everything was clean and there was nothing to complain about in the aircraft.
The journey went as planned.
The staff on board were friendly and nice. Only the prices on board were excessive.
The price-performance ratio was excellent!
