For many, flying is once in a lifetime experience. And if that experience is filled with neglect and arrogance then it's a lifetime memory. And a reputed airline like eurowings does that means there is no quality control. But thanks to Josh he does their customer service assessment work for them. These videos are valuable for any airliner looking to boost their business and customer experience. Keep up Josh :)

Pics or it didn't happen

As a former flight attendant for EW based in DUS (till Nov 2019) I can say in my 4 years I've never seen anyone treating business class that way. Some of our PU's even remembered each of the names to talk to everyone personally. It might be because we started off being Germanwings. I rather remember business class guests being rude but we still remained friendly. Back then service was great and over the years they stripped down the products. I feel embarrassed for these former colleagues and I am sure they had a bad day as otherwise, they need to change their job. Hopefully, the right people see this video and there will be consequences as well as some goody for you. Oh, aviation is such a wonderful job but humans have the tendency to let their personal frustration out on others I guess.

Imagine working for Lufthansa main-line for several years having good working conditions and salary then being forced to change to the Lufthansa-Ryanair and working longer hours with worse working conditions for way less money .. or lose your job completely.. because Lufthansa management wanting to make more profit i'm SURE you would absolutely ENJOY being the nicest cabin crew ever on this planet! Just so you know.. these people only get paid for OFFBLOCK time.. that means for hours the plane is actually on the way.. not for any pre or afterflight preparations .. those hours are basically freetime you work for nothing.. but still having a 10-15hr workday (officially.. offblock!) and getting just enough money out of it to not run into private financial bankruptcy. Eurowings management better see this video.. but not for the reason you mean for.. but maybe.. but even then i would heavily doubt (because there are way way bigger discussions going on than any passenger who doesn't do any research on the topic at all would ever see) that they would realize that this isn't the way to go for making good profit in the long run. Want a high quality flying experience? Then spend the money for a high quality flight on an Airline who does not take advantage of their employees just to make one extra buck. Quality costs money. Not content on spending the money? Then book Ryanair and shut up about low quality service or not included meals or whatever. And no i'm not flying personell in any way.. just a human being who enjoys flying from time to time who realizes that quality and service costs money.. never flown with a super-low-cost carrier and never will.

Thank you, Josh! I don't often travel, but I like watching airlines reviews for future trips. I've seen several other reviewers who , in my opinion, their expectations seem to be way off the norm. You are one who addresses real issues, and without unnecessary embellishments or ridiculous demands. I am now following your page and looking forward to seeing more. Good job, mate! Cheers!

Thanks Josh for keeping it real and providing honest reviews! 👍

Josh, I've been following your excellent posts for quite a while, I know how fair and impartial you are at all times. Regarding this airline, it's quite a shame to see this kind of attitude by them, this is a definite destructive behaviour by this staff and whoever trained and appointed it to such a sensitive job, I honestly hope that this is not a general tendency though. I am glad to have watched this video and would take note of it in my travels.

I really do miss the 1011! Flew TWA across the Atlantic a couple of times on those as a kid. Fantastic (and loud) experience!

I thought you were saying "it takes about 45 minutes for the elevator to reach the lobby", as you pressed the button around the same time and it looked ancient :D

Eurowings just lost a customer. Good work Eurowings.

It’s amazing how many times people who are supposed to take care of you have such a horrible attitude but, in the end they want to smile at you and say thank you as if that will make you forget everything that happened before that.

I were shouted at midnight (when i was asleep...) to correct the seating of my mask on a LH flight from Namibia in march. Welcome to Germany.

I flew with Eurowings from Stuttgart and Cologne/Bonn to Berlin with them, and I was impressed by hospitality and professionalism of the crew, that I thought, it is even better, in some cases, than Lufthansa (eg. onboard Wi-Fi). Only disadvantage: high prices

I flew Eurowings from Stockholm to Düsseldorf in the summer of 2022. While waiting for the plane in Stockholm, they repeatedly announced that cabin luggage was not allowed, everything had to be checked in. So we (me and my family) obeyed and checked everything. The flight was about one hour delayed. On arrival, our luggage was missing. Eurowings service office was open and we and reported this. I asked the staff whether they thought our luggage would arrive the next day but they said no, ”Stockholm does not send anything on their next flight.” Since this meant that our holiday was already ruined, I asked if it was possible to go back to Stockholm the next day. Again, answer was no. All seats are booked. For a week. Since my medicine was in my cabin bag, this meant we slept at our hotel in Düssledorf and then spent the next day trying to get hold of medication. It turned out that even though I had all the prescription documents, no hospital in Germany can help with this. Having spent €300 on taxi rides, we finally encountered a nice German woman who fixed an appointment with a private doctor. He helped us and we got the medication. After this we went to the Eurowings baggage office again, but they couldn’t answer any questions. No luggage had arrived from Stockholm. We decided to make the best possible of the situation and got our rental car, bought some clothes and continued on our one week trip to Belgium. When we got back to Düsseldorf for the return trip, we were told that our luggage had actually arrived on day two, but since we weren’t there, it had been sent back to Stockholm. Back in Stockholm, they had no info on where the baggage was. So we went home. Three weeks and fifty phone calls later, the baggage was delivered to our home. Our travel insurance paid for the clothes we had bought, but we got nothing from Eurowings. This sucks! Worst airline we ever experienced.

"I won't forget it, because it was shit." You'd think they'd have this guy's mugshot posted on every cabin door on Earth by now! How much money do you have to spend to erase this bad publicity? No sympathy, it's an entirely self-inflicted wound.

Hi Josh. In the very early 70s, we lived in Düsseldorf as UK expats. We lived right next to the American International school, close to Düsseldorf Airport and, at age 11, this is where my interest in aviation really developed. I could see Pan Am and other Western carriers fly into Düsseldorf operating flights to Berlin (this was the Cold War!). It is also where I say my first 747 ( 1971 or 1972). It was, I think a -100 series operated by Condor and, having seen it approach over the Rhein, I asked my dad to takes us to the end of the runway to watch it leave. Fantastic. In the ensuing 50 years - 46 of which spent in aircraft maintenance and safety - I am a little more cynical about aviation (and life) but, on balance, still find it exciting.

I became an avgeek when I was a child on my first flight from Podgorica to Belgrade, now at 22 I’m still loving aviation😃

You cannot forget. Eurowings is a low cost carrier, not a full service Airline. So no hot meals are served at any length of flight, even in the so called Biz class.

Great video as always Josh, keep up the good work.

As a young child my holiday memories start with driving to the airport, checking in and watching the plane pulling up which was always a Boeing 737-200 of Britannia Airways (with their super cool dark purple-blue and orange stripes livery), getting a sweet to suck on takeoff, full service even on short haul back then, getting to go up to the cockpit and meet the captain, getting the window seat and watching the flaps, speed brakes and bucket thrust reversers on landing - it was magic and I loved every minute. I was really bummed when they bought 757s (too many seats and not enough galley or washrooms) and then gradually dumbed down the product to budget level service and squeezed the seats close and closer to get more in. Things don’t often change for the better.

Actually, becoming an aviation geek was fairly recent for me, I just wanted to break the monotony of the initial pandemic and that was getting behind my Nikon D70 and trying something “challenging” to photograph…. what better then a speeding jet right? Plus San Diego is a lovely place to spot, you could easily spend a sunny afternoon spotting. Only problem with San Diego is there’s almost no variety- essentially all 737’s and A320’s of the dominant carriers…. though I love Southwest’s ‘Heart’ livery. I wanted more, so one day I went up to LAX, at the time I wasn’t super familiar with LA and it’s very easy to get lost on the freeway systems but I found it. The trip was almost immediately worth it; blasting off the runway was a Nippon Cargo Airlines 747-8 and that was it, I fell in love with the type as she roared past me, me standing in awe…. then not much longer was a Air China Cargo 747-400 that was even louder then the -8. Long live the Queen.

As cabin crew (with another airline) I’m sorry you had to experience such a bad flight. They totally missed the opportunity to score.

My most memorable flight must be a KLM-flight in a DC-10 KLM leased from Martinair (in KLM Livery) to Curacao in the early 1990's where I was invited by the captain to the cockpit for quite a while, because I gave up my seat at the window to a young boy and the seat beside that to his father. I never had a inaugural flight and after this, I will not fly Eurowings. Look how they where standing at the moment you left the aircraft. Almost, don't you dare take a treat from the tray.

Hey Josh, I became an av geek at 14 on my very first flight from Toronto Pearson YYZ on a Western Airlines, DC-10 to Honolulu Hawaii. I was hooked on flying and continued with my passion of airplanes!

I became an aviation geek on my very first trip back in 1978 when my mom took me on vacation to New York from Dominica. We flew on a Liat HS 748 from Dominica to Antigua. I was fascinated by the shape of the plane which was not sleek but had a beauty to it in its compact shape. We then flew on an Eastern Airlines L 1011 to New York. The dark blue and light blue hockey stick livery to today is my favorite airline livery. On our return trip we flew on a BWIA Tristar 500 back to Antigua then on another HS 748 to Dominica.

My mum was an air hostess with Swissair from '57 - '64 and that is where I got the love of flying. First flight was when I was 6 months from Edinburgh ( Scotland ) - Zurich (Switzerland ) with BA via Heathrow. I love flying and love Oman Air.

How I became an Av-Geek- Probably a combination of picking up my dad from SFO, flying to Toronto every summer, and driving by the airport watching the United 727s line up for takeoff driving to and from Price Club/Costco. I could never understand how European airlines just have blocked middle seats for Business Class to begin with.

I became an avgeek when I was 4 and flying from the old Dhahran airport to Jeddah on Saudia. Was allowed to come into the cockpit with my dad and was amazed at all the controls that are in there. Seeing the plane from the steps at Dhahran and Jeddah made me be in awe of how planes are. Before moving to the US, I used to go to DMM and spend most of the time at the observation area of the airport. Still an avgeek at 28!

It is sad when you are let down in that way by staff/severs/etc... it really can make or break a situation. Happy Holidays ❤

@@brilliantbutblue No, the paperwork and passenger Manifest you get after the last passenger boarded. However, you can always take a glimpse at the boarding card, if you get the chance. In any case, attitude is never a good idea. As I worked for far too long as Purser, I would always place the one CCM at the overwing exit rows, one in the aft cabin and the last one in the BIZ section, assisting the passengers with their coats or jackets and settling in. And no, cabin crew is not responsible for your carry on luggage. You packed it, you hauled it all the way through the airport, you stow it away. Again, as crew you only pretend you’re helping to launch that 10 kg trolley up into the luggage bins, without making a big deal out of it. And the list of names of passengers in your area fits nicely on your trolley. And even if passengers reseated themselves, the effort of you addressing your GUESTS by their names will make a huge difference. Humans love to be recognised as individuals, and the positive halo effect of your effort is immense, as passengers around will notice. And every little chit chat of a couple of interchanges does exactly the same. Also: during pre-flight briefing I was always asking each crew member to name a personal positive goal they want to achieve during that particular working day. But hey, I started flying 30 years ago. It seems like a lifetime away. And we were taught in training a few important things: always focus on customer service in line with safety procedures, be honest, take responsibilities, always be prepared to offer a solution in problematic situations, and keep in mind: you never get a second chance to make your first impressions! (the crew member leaning casually against the galley counter is the typical behaviour and mentioned in every initial training course) My favourite (even if super cheesy 🤣) motivational quotes to start the day: They may come as enemies, but they’re leaving as friends! And: If they don’t have a smile themselves, give them on of yours! As a matter of fact, humans always react positively to an honest smile. Try it out yourself, next time at the check out counter at the supermarket or when stepping on a bus. Thanks for the videos, Josh. Love’em! 😉

Your Flight Report must be super damaging their reputation.

My avgeek story is also xmas based. Growing up I lived in Crawley which is the main town for LGW. I also grew up in a pretty bad/ deprived setting & a local charity arranged a 'Santa Flight to nowhere' which I was luck enough to get picked for one year when I was 11 years old. BA laid on the flight and we flew up to ( but didn't land) Scotland and back giving me a chance to experience flying for about 2 hours I guess. 'Santa' was onboard and that was fun but I will never forget the Captain who came out and spoke to us then I got to chat with him and he was so gracious answering about a million questions. He said I had about 10 questions more than anyone else so I turned to him and said "I just want to know now coz I've never been on a plane before and I don't think I ever will again" to which he took my hand and said "Never give up on a dream. I'm sure I will see you onboard again one day"... That was 30+ years ago. It stirred a passion to see the world, experience different places, people & cultures which still fills me to this day and while i'm not a rich guy I devote about 80% of my 'spare' money to travel and in November this year I ticked off my 69th country ( St. Lucia).

OMG , It's 6am here and you had me laughing out loud with the FA with a whip and the Nien, Nien, Nien. Thank You for starting off my day right. I'm sorry the flight was a disaster, I hope you did enjoy a free champagne.

He just does not like Germans.

I grew up next to Luton airport and my father took me as a kid to watch the planes and I also saw concord fly from there . Amazing memo that never left me , I’m 50 now and I’ve not lost a single memory

I tried EW BIZ Class once on a flight from DUS to BER since it was cheaper than a Y Seat with checked Luggage. Otherwise I would have never paid for it. I think I became an AV Geek right after birth when I had to be rushed to another Hospital in a Helicopter to undergo surgery. I was also lucky enough to start flying quite early (4-5 years old) and visited the Maldives, Thailand, Egypt, Balearic and Canary Islands with my mother and Grandparents. But I still believe that this first Helicopter-Ride made me fall in Love with flying right away. :)

I never waste money on domestic EU business class. I always look for a direct flight from USA because if there is EU connection i wont pay for business class. Disrespectful to offer same seats as economy.

I travel from Düsseldorf to Salzburg, both times in BIZ, and I had a good experience there. The crew was very nice; the best crew experience that I had ever.

I loved the L1011 planes. Eastern airlines (now long gone) flew a 1011 between Seattle and Atlanta back in the day. Took that flight many times. Just shows hiw old I am. Love your content Josh.

Actually my first flight was when i was 15 travelled in jet airways B737 .. That is the first time i am seeing an airport and Planes so close.It was a surreal experience that too when it took off from the ground i could see how beautiful was my city from that height ..

10:54 Dear Josh, the reason why I became an AVgeek is because of the fact I flew a lot on easyJet from Basel to Liverpool as a kid to see my family

I've never been on any plane or any flight in NZ or flying overseas where the cabin staff haven't welcomed us on board with a friendly greeting and directed us to our seats. This is incredibly strange to me that they wouldn't do this. They should be serving champagne and at least first class Hors D' Ouvres if not a fancy hot meal.

I've flown in and out of that airport before. Some experiences have been better than others, but this just seemed "cold"...like they didn't want to be there.

I STILL have memories, when I was REALLY young; being fascinated with the airplane I was travelling on; a MSA 707 from HKG to SIN. (I still vividly remember the stewardess holding me up, in her arms....and asking me questions; as we disembarked)

They do advertise an unforgettable experience. LOL. Grew up with my father working for Western Air Lines in the US. When flying was an adventure not something that you cant wait to be over with.

You asked our stories which made us an aviation geek, here's nice: My story which made me an aviation geek when i I went to Singapore when i was 4-5 years old (it was my first ever flight too, tho I don't remember the exact model of the plane. My father works for Air India so I used to spot planes on daily basis. The other day when i was 14 I decided to get my hands on with flight simulator X (2010 version back in the day) which peak my intresting more. And last but not the least even you make me come back to aviation by giving me an honest review Thank you so much for thst. I hoe me meet someday. 😇 Keep growing Josh!

great review, love the honesty as usual. Standards !

I became an avgeek, when I was around 10 years old and that was ca.1980. My parents, my sister and myself visited in those days the observation deck of Frankfurt airport and I won‘t ever forget the apron view and the parked 707, 747 an DC-10 planes of Pan Am, TWA, Lufthansa and Air India. Since that day, 40 years ago, I am a big aviation enthusiast.

Oh, my. Thank you for this report. Fly safe.

What a shame. This really shows, how a flight comes down to the mood of the cabin crew. I´ve had some very good flights with Eurowings and motivated FAs.

I grew up with dad working for United. GREAT times and I became an av geek. Then I worked for United and Delta as well as a travel agent.

Eurowings is a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group and the latter is cutting services more and more and prices are rising. Strikes and unreliability are on the increase. As a German, I avoid Lufthansa and their subsidiary companies as much as possible. I am ashamed of this company, which is supposed to be the international flagship for German hospitality.

I love this, not laughed so hard in a long time. I first became an avgeek back in the dark days of Dan Air and those old 727s

My first flight from NY to CA in 1985 on Pan Am 747, I was hooked and became a geek! 😊

LOL 🤭😁Was Colonel Klink at the helm of the plane as El Cappy Crappitan? Sgt. Shultz: "I see and hear nothing!"

I loved this video When you spoke to the camera with your mic, I could just hear on one side what you were saying in my headset You re the best I love to watch

Dad was in the Colombian Air Force, was born in the biggest AF base so my first 10 years was playing among my dad's tools and playing in the hangars with the Kfir's, DC-3, DC-4 C130, etc.

I became an avgeek from my father and after flying to Ibiza on Britannia airway 737 from Luton airport in the 70’s, found it amazing, after moving from the UK to NZ I was like to work for Air NZ and enjoyed being involved with aircraft a enjoyment I still have today after leaving the Airline industry for some years.

I'm always fascinated and embarrassed by the awful customer service in Germany. You can't even ask for extra sugar in a café without someone being a dick about it.

I flew with Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Dubai and the crew were super friendly and lovely to be honest ❤️

I'm getting nervous every time I see you post a video. Since you said you'll be trying Libyan Airlines in December I've been praying that they actually do their job and you have a good flight with them. (Also you may consider Libyan Wings airline)

Libyan airways better than eurowings

It all began last 2009 when I rode Philippines Airlines from Manila to Singapore using the B747. That event started my love for airplanes. I am very very grateful to be an Avgeek because now that I am 17 years old, I never loose my passion to become an Avgeek. Hope you notice this Josh! Big fan of yours :))))

Josh this is so funny 😆! Good to know what to expect! Try the budget Arline Wizz air

What started my love of aviation? Late 1970’s Laker Airways 707s….. I fell in love with flying from then on!

Great report Josh, but they did what you expected: They put their best crew on this flight … the rest of the bunch is surely even worse 🤣🤣🤣. Eurowings has not impressed me ever, Lufthansa is crap, but still much better than this lowest service carrier… hahaha

hahahaha best comment ever.

Became an avgeek about 6 years old. We flew a DC-10 from Caracas in Venezuela to Santiago, Chile. It was a wonderful experience with the exception of the "magic" curtain between smokers and non smokers section. I was soooo sick on the flight but everyone thought it was motion sicknes, not nicotine poisoning. It was still a magical time aboard. But I don't miss the smokers section LOL

In my experience the crew in EW is better than LH most of the times, probably you're right and they picked the wrong one for the flight...

FABULOUS WATCH. THANK YOU.

I flew with them a couple of years ago in BIZ From WRO-DUS-WRO and my experience was very similar. The crew basically threw the pre-paid meals aso they could hide in the galley. I asked about coffee and the FA said "you have to pay" and walked away. I know you have to pay??? I guess at least they are consistent - unfortunately in a bad way.

I became an avgeek in the early 80s here i DUS cause of the same reason like you. Treating my parents to go to the airport every month to see the LTU L-1011, the 747s from LH, AC & JAL and all the other great stuff here. Thx for your fascinating reviews! 👍🏻

Hi Josh. I am sorry your experience with Eurowings was bad. I agree with you. A full business class paying passenger or any customer flying an airline should never be treated like that. I hope Eurowings management watches your video report and train their flight crew better. I work for one of the major airlines in the USA and have many friends working as crewmembers of our competitors. and they all know how important it is to let the passengers know you represent their airline and how happy they are to have you on board. Keep up the good work.

I always chose a trip to Heathrow or Gatwick to watch the aeroplanes as my birthday treat. I've loved planes ever since.
