Pros: "Same."
Cons: "Same"
Cons: "I missed my flight from ABV to Istanbul. The customer representatives at the airport office couldn't help me find or place me on another flight. They wanted me to purchase a new ticket and pay full price instead of the difference. The flight ime on my itinerary was 12:15a on Sunday (instead of 00:15) which confused me. My flt coming to ABV, airline left my baggage in turkey too and had no representative at airport to inform us what happened. Seems airline treats flights to Nigeria this way"
Pros: "A Lousy airline. Also for Americans: They don't issue visas to allow the passenger who lost their flight to go to a hotel. They stated that there was a diplomatic problem between Turkey and the US so they don't issues visas anymore to Americans. STAY AWAY FROM TURKISH AIRLINES!"
Cons: "Delayed flight. Lost baggage. Although promised to be delivered on the next day, it didn't happen. Still waiting for resolution of this issue."
Cons: "All was fine."
Pros: "Food customer service touchcreen tablet in each seat. Tablet has access to free movies, shows"

Pros: "Early arrival by full 30 minutes--great."
Cons: "Crying babies, but not airline's fault."
Cons: "Previous flight cancelled due to weather conditions, and despite calling and having a lot of flexibility with time, we were unable to reschedule without massive charges. Our refund was quite low, and we will rebook on another airline. This, despite being a TK gold card member."
Pros: "Movies"
Pros: "Nothing, will never use this airline again."
Cons: "Worst customer service. Very uncaring and rude. Worst airline I have seen and I have traveled with many. Had doubts about using Turkish and a little less expensive ticket turned out to be the most expensive in many ways. Went to the gate 17 minutes early and the agents and the plane was there but was refused entry and was lied and told to go to gate 215 and missed the flight even though there were empty seats on the plane. Asked for help at the other gate but was given the run around and ignored by everyone and told to go to gate 214. After I went to gate 214 was told to go to customer service lower level. Turkish airline supervisor Mustafa Bogaz at Istanbul customer service held a grudge because I was upset and yelled at one of the supervisors and he told Mustafa and everyone not to help me and wanted to get back at me and said penalty in front of me to the customer service member I was speaking with. Mustafa lied and would not put me on a connecting flight and said I had to pay penalty and wait 24 hours. Told me to go to customer service outside the airport and would not call them after I told him I was ready to pay for a connecting flight and could not wait 24 hours and needed to go to work. Even though an American citizen was told needed a visa after waiting 1 hour in line and had to pay to exit the airport. The machine didn't work and the credit card was refused. Got stuck at the airport for 24 hours and missed work and a family event. Turkey is a hell hole and nothing works. Will never visit again. Mustafa 6 hours later was still holding a grudge and told another customer service member in Turkish in front of me to lie to me and say there was no emergency aisle seat available for the flight the next day. Got an emergency aisle seat the next morning when Mustafa wasn't there. Everyone in the customer service team including other supervisors took Mustafa's side and would not help me and lied. Everyone had no compassion and held a grudge."
Pros: "The sevicewas great! i liked their food. It was very fresh and testy. The tv screen had a lots of great movies. I enjoyed my flight. Thanks"
Pros: "The flight attendants were pleasant and very attentive. Great meals."
Cons: "Had trouble with the seat leaning back on one of glights"
Cons: "Everything was really good"
Pros: "Crew was great, movie selections were good."
Cons: "No warning or info when we hit a lot of turbulence."
Cons: "I didn't received my luggage same day Ithat was not find it and I had to wait 4 days to get it"
Cons: "Sat 44A. The entire row behind me had 1 adult & 2 children. 2 Hours into the flight, there were 4 children, no adults and the seats were used as a playpen. 7 hours of kicking, punching the screen, opening the window shutter during "sleeping time" as instructed by the crew. Wine was poured on my back, water splashed on the person next to me, children were climbing over my head... etc. No parents or flight attendants could help the situation. Boarding was a mess. 10-15 passengers surrounding me sat anywhere they wanted creating a delay to push back because everyone just sat with their family and disregarded the chaos it created for those individual travelers wanting to sit in "THEIR PROPER SEAT". This was the worst / never ending flying experience I've ever had. I will never fly Turkish Airlines again."
Pros: "It's been few years that I took Turkish Airline flight, but the service and crew and the aircraft were top notch. It felt like Virgin Atlantics flight and better. I flew with my 3 yo and the stuff kept spoiling him with goodie bags. On the way there (it was overnight flight) I'll give it 5 out of 5 and on the way back - it was a bit cold on the flight, it might be just me, however. The food also seemed better on the way to Turkey; on the way back I found myself hungry more often and the food was not as good (day flight). Excellent, will definitely fly again, just for the service and the experience!!"
Cons: "On the way back - it was a bit cold on the flight, it might be just me, however. On the way back I found myself hungry more often and the food was not as good (day flight)."
Pros: "Cabin crew was quite attentive."
Cons: "Boarding at Istanbul airport took a very long time and was not organized. Meal preference was not recorded properly, so there was a scramble to find me a vegetarian meal. Flight was pretty delayed."
Cons: "3 hour delay. No announcements. Had to use my passport just to use the restroom. Food was terrible."
Pros: "The quality of service, food and beverage variety, entertainment selection, and overall aircraft condition were superb. From the fresh flowers in the toilet rooms to the selection of top shelf alcohol, it was all first class, and all of this in economy. People who have not flown them will be amazed."
Cons: "The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that the aircraft was a Boeing 777 which is new, but less roomy than the Airbus A330."
Pros: "Food, crew"
Pros: "The extra security measure at IST gave us peace of mind given the travel warning the US had used involving Turkey. Second, the quality and quantity of food was fantastic and more than we've ever experienced in any airline."
Cons: "There was a large group of young people who were disruptive the entire flight from Istanbul to Chicago. It did not appear that their adult chaperones were doing anything to control them, nor did we see the flight crew intervene."
Pros: "New planes, very modern fit-out, industry leading entertainment system. Excellent flight all round."
Pros: "Very friendly crew"
Cons: "Boarding was delayed for over an hour and we had to stand in line in closed off secure room (without restroom) due to security issues. They should have had everyone sit down to wait rather than stand in the ABCD group lines."
Pros: "Everything was really great!"
Pros: "Great staff Best airline food"
Cons: "Nothing to not like"
Cons: "The food caused food poisining"
Pros: "It was a good flight, what one would expect from an airline. The crew came by the right amount with drinks, etc."
Cons: "I thought the boarding was a little irritating. They had a random extra security check at the gate, and the process made me laugh a little bit. I didn't see any value that this extra security was adding, and I'm all about extra security... just not this experience. On the other hand, the extra security was also very frustrating to me because my previous Turkish Airline flight had arrived late and boarding had already started before I even got off the first plane. I just wanted to get through the gate and be done considering the big rush the delayed flight caused. Also, part of the last meal served was salmon. There were no alternatives to non-seafood eaters, but they did have enough other food on the plate, which made the situation bearable."
Pros: "Crew was very friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Seat room was small for me and hard to get comfortable. More leg room needed. Also Overhead compartments filled too fast and no room for my carry on."
Pros: "Comfort economy is a great option if you're lucky to get. Service, food, drinks and attention by the crew was great. Lot's of entertainment options."
Cons: "For some reason in Istanbul they don't give a plane a bridged gate, but take people by buses a lot. Interior was a bit outdated, and the USB sockets broken. 2 Hour delay wasn't great..."
Pros: "Love turkish airlines i was so suprised by the qaulity of the food and drinks. Even the free 5 star hotel for the 14 hour layover was amazing."
Cons: "The plane had no charging port for phones."
Cons: "Actually we were denied at Istanbul to get on this flight because they said they have closed the gate,even if they knew we were coming with the transfer from budapest.after that they made us pay almost 900$ for a reboking fee in order to get us on the next flight,huge amount for a reboking fee which I am trying to get back at least half of my money,terrible experience,in Istanbul at the airport nobody wanted to help us,they don't speak english,I ended to pay almost 2500$ for me and my husband for the tickets"
Pros: "There was nothing enjoyable about this flight. I am re-thinking if I ever want to take another Turkish Airlines flight again. I gave them rave reviews on the flight from Chicago to Istanbul, could this possibly be the same airline?"
Cons: "Boarding process was chaotic and crowded. They should not be pushing a full plane load (777) through a tiny boarding area. By the time I got on the plane, all the overheads were full or overflowing. People were not being told to put one carry-on under the seat in front of them. The seats were the closest together I have experienced in a long time, probably since I flew Ryan Air. The spacing was totally inadequate for a flight that took 10.5 hours of flight time. We got stuck in a section with young children, and the inattention/poor behavior of the parents was ignored by the flight crew. Honestly, this was the WORST flight I have ever been on in my life and I have flown hundreds of thousands of miles over the past 40 years."
Pros: "great service, on time, good food and entertainment. Long haul flights are never fun but this was comfortable and pleasant"
Pros: "The plane, food and beverage service but especially the service from the flight crew far exceeded any expectations we had. We noticed the crew dealing with several difficult passengers around us and they maintained their calm demeanor and professionalism throughout the flight. I am also in the service industry and know what type of patience this takes. Your flight crew were exemplary through and through, bravo!"
Cons: "Our initial checkin was handled by a trainee in Chicago whom we told specifically that we were going to stay in Istanbul for one night on our way to Barcelona. She assumed that our final destination was Barcelona. But after verifying the tags on our luggage, I immediately told her that no, we were to spend one night in Istanbul as we had a performance (we're both musicians). Needless to say our luggage was not on the belt in Istanbul and after more than one hour we chased it down before it made it on the plane to BCN. Our tuxedos for our performance were in the suitcases and we were late for our performance in Istanbul. I will file a formal complaint with your company and I did save the luggage tags as proof. Unfortunately, this put us in a very stressful position, specifically after we had told your check in agent. The overall service was wonderful, however this check in agent truly needs a little more time and supervision before being allowed to check in passengers independently."
Pros: "I love everything"
Cons: "Same as the above feedback. Why couldn't Turkish notify us when our tickets were cancelled? Why does a persons entire itinerary is cancelled even if there are medical reasons for no show. Horrible experience."
Pros: "Flew from Athens to Chicago with a change of planes in Istanbul. Security was excellent. Flight crew very attentive."
Cons: "Luggage did not make the change of planes. Will receive the luggage in 3 - 4 days."
Cons: "Leg room"
Pros: "Again, food and service were good. Entertainment options were sufficient."
Cons: "Once again issue with legroom, however, since this was a long flight, I had to find a row with an empty middle seat to be able to get through this flight."
Cons: "I've managed to book the seats that I really wanted for my parents; however the seats have been reasigned while boarding and they ended up in a row with less leg room."
Pros: "Crew was awesome!"
Cons: "The boarding did not go on time. An announcement about why would have been nice. Still made it on the flight on time."
Pros: "Same crew and great experiments again"
Pros: "Kosher snacks! Thank you! Very safe and controlled Covid procedures. Made me feel safe."
Pros: "Very controlled and safe Covid procedures. Outlets and screens at every seat."
Pros: "Felt very clean and so glad they are not selling every seat"
Pros: "great everything!"
Pros: "It was all good glad the last leg of the trip was pleasant."
Pros: "Airplane accelerated from stand-by directly to runway without preparation stop. Awesome!"
Cons: "No leg room for 6'6" person."
Cons: "Small plane, feels cramped"
Cons: "The unfortunate delay prevented me from attending my grandmother's wake. Fewer delays would be helpful."
Cons: "No sandwiches for sale just snack boxes"
Pros: "Taco"
Cons: "Taco"
Pros: "The fight was very professionally carried out."
Cons: "The gate agent hurried ineffectively to board our slightly delayed flight (around 10 min). She left open the Priority Lane and boarded all pax there, having to step 4 steps to the left to scan every boarding pass."
Pros: "It was ok"
Cons: "Seat the family together"
Cons: "Taxied at ORD for 45 minutes waiting for a gate to vacate."
Cons: "Smooth on time flight"
Pros: "The crew really kept us updated on the many delays."
Cons: "There were SO many delays and they kept changing. At one point we got on and off the plane."
Pros: "Everything was good except boarding was delayed several times and even after everyone had boarded. We arrived 2 hours behind originally scheduled time as the result."
Cons: "Delta needs to try harder to minimize flight delays."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Flight was delayed 2 hours. Even though I had carry on, they checked it and this made me waste my time at baggage claim rather than gate checking. Flight attendants were miserable. Power supply didn't work at seats."
Pros: "The seats were ok."
Cons: "The flight was delayed over 3 hours so I missed my connection in Chicago to Seattle. I'm now stick in Chicago overnight and have to be on a 6 am flight tomorrow. The Delta staff at LaGuaurdia was extremely rude and not helpful at all. Hate Delta......"
Pros: "Flight left on time"
Cons: "Gate crew had trouble identyfing boarding pass on their computer. Difficulty getting on plane"
Pros: "Fast boarding, friendly crew, and comfy seats"
Cons: "It was pretty bumpy and a few times we changed altitude very quickly"
Pros: "I loved the flight attendants and the desk staff everyone was so friendly and made me want to travel delta again."
Cons: "Delta doesn't offer military spouses free checked bags and I found this out at the airport. It was disheartening, but at least it's Delta and not the airline that is supposed to represent America."
Cons: "Small aircraft"
Cons: "Over an hour delay before boarding due to supposedly bad weather. Because flight was overbooked they were offering $400 gift card to change to standby on another flight. If you didn't make that flight (evening), you'd be confirmed on a flight the following morning with one stop in Detroit (we booked a nonstop to Chicago). Uh, no thanks. Then to top it off, we've landed and been told that it will be at least an hour before we can deplane due to no availability at the gate (it's 1145 pm right now). All this plus their new policy of not allowing us to select our seats because we bought the cheapest tickets. Really Delta? You go ahead and cater to the rich and I'll choose to fly with another airline."
Pros: "Crew friendly"
Cons: "Middle seat with no option for me to move"
Pros: "Friendly service, comfortable seat, on time, no issues."
Pros: "The crew was great"
Cons: "The flight was 4 hours delayed"
Pros: "I flew on a basic economy fare (I understand the restrictions) and was seated in Economy Comfort +, so that was appreciated."
Cons: "I could see on the Fly Delta app that I had been placed in seat 10B, but neither the app nor my boarding pass gave me a group to board with, so I assumed that I needed to board with group 3, which necessitated gate-checking my rollerboard bag. Only when I approached the gate to board did I notice on the info screen that I had been "upgraded" to Comfort + and granted boarding with the Sky Priority group. I wish this had been clearer so I could have avoided waiting to board and gate-checking my bag. Minor inconvenience but room for improvement on Delta's part."
Pros: "Friendly staff and comfortable seating"
Pros: "This was not my original transfer flight but everyone was much nicer and helpful than serious and being rude. Love Delta, I did not flight United because I wouldn't have met my United flight once landing in ATL. The Young African American woman who was at the gate was amazing and so reassuring that I would make my flight to Chicago. Would book Delta, just because of how nice she was to me."
Pros: "i liked that staff and crew were very communicative and pleasant."
Cons: "one crew member didn't show up and caused delayed flight."
Cons: "Too tight and seats not comfortable."
Cons: "The delta studio didn't work with Android 8"
Pros: "We were traveling with a toddler and infant but put in different row because the tickets were purchased separately. Gate staff promptly put us together and even bumped us up to delta comfort. Was a very pleasant trip. Thanks delta!"
Pros: "Ease of flight"
Pros: "Plane arrived early"
Cons: "They board the front of the plane first, meaning the aisles get clogged up slowing down the process. Also, staff kept insisting pre boarding that more people needed to check their bags because there wasn't enough overhead bin space, but there were plenty of bins not full by take off."
Pros: "Accident on way to airport, so I showed up to check bags 45 minutes before flight time. They said they couldn't get the bag to the plane..in 45 minutes? So, they put on the next flight... 6 hours later. Said I could fly without the bag... uh, no thanks. They would not look for alternatives without charging me more. Flight attendants were crabby, otherwise everything was fine. I flew British Airways a few months ago. Night and day. Seriously. Delta does not even approach having good service. There was no comparison to British Air--- Delta is not in the same league."
Pros: "Airline stewards were very friendly and pleasant."
Cons: "We booked with Delta, but were put on Air France. Even though we had our boarding passes in hand we had to wait in long, slow line for baggage tags because they would not print from kiosk. There was minimal Air France staff on duty serving thousands of passengers during busy season (July). While the lines grew larger, the staff was reduced from 4 to 2. Another long, slow line for customs, another long slow line for security=Charles De Gaulle airport was awful. We arrived at the airport 4 hours before our departure time and got to our boarding gate with no time to spare."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable, seats did not recline and seats way too close together."
Pros: "Entertainment options weren't bad. Most of the crew was polite other than one flight attendant who seemed ambivalent and unhappy to be there."
Cons: "Three hour+ flight and just one tiny bag of pretzels? And no lemon or lime wedges on the beverage cart? Plus, I have to pay extra for one checked bag. I will only fly Delta if I have to in the future. Subpar airline."
Pros: "What I liked: Sky Priority privilege came with separate luggage check-in queues and early boarding"
Cons: "What I disliked: Seats were too small No beverages or snacks offered No USB or power outlets available Three different groups board before Delta Comfort (e.g. those needing more time, travelers with children, first/business class) Didn't see the value compared to a less expensive main cabin ticket"
Pros: "I was notified about the delay via text before I left for the airport, which was nice. I would not have checked my email."
Cons: "Delayed for over 2 hours. I have never flown Delta before this flight and it wasn't a great representation. The flight attendants were nice but I was in a seat near the engine and it was making really weird noises. I fly almost every two weeks, so I'm used to engine noises but this was one of the loudest/most rickety sounding flights I have ever been on.. and I have flown Spirit a few times. It just didn't feel safe. Landing scared me a little too as I have landed in O'Hare countless times and have never flown so low to the highway upon entry. It felt like we were only a couple hundred feet above the cars."
Pros: "Great short trip with an attentive crew."
Cons: "Seats were a bit uncofortable and small compared to previous flights."
Cons: "The flight attendant looked like she was mad throughout the whole flight"
Pros: "We were delayed due to weather and Delta brought a cart of snacks and drinks over to the gate for us."
Pros: "Everything went well"
Cons: "I was late from first flight"
Pros: "First time flying DELTA and to New York City. Really liked flying into Marine Terminal for it's smallness and easiness to collect luggage and catch a taxi."
Pros: "Ewerything"
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable."
Pros: "Comfort"
Cons: "AS ALWAYS, LEG ROOM IS an issue on international flights. Screaming children kicking my seat the whole trip makes for an uncomfortable ride. Movies were slow to load and cut off multiple times for no reason."
Cons: "We were late, had to run through the airport just to catch our next flight"
Pros: "The in flight entertainment"
Cons: "The headphones given were outdated and hurt the ears after a while"
Pros: "First leg got cancelled and missed all connections. So frustrating!"
Cons: "Gate agent in GRR rebooked a flight the next day, which is too late for my event in Florence. When I called Lufthansa to see if I could get on an earlier flight, they could no longer help me because the new reservation was with United."
Pros: "Excellent"
Cons: "An hour + delayed departure and arrival."
Pros: "The food & service by flight attendants was phenomenal. Seating on the 747-8 in economy class was also comfortable."
Cons: "No problems"
Cons: "The legroom was awful, especially for a nine-hour flight. The video screen kept rebooting."
Pros: "All great"
Pros: "I had a window seat"
Cons: "The seats are too small and tight for such a long flight. Really!! a tv screen on the back of the seat that has videos etc. I almost threw up from the constant pounding of the man hitting the screen on the back of my seat. I felt violated and exhausted from the airline inconsiderate design."
Pros: "Service"
Pros: "The big deal for me was that I was upgraded (at no cost) to Premium Economy class. I enjoyed the extra leg room and the ability to lie back (further than in regular economy class). The free drinks were also a plus."
Cons: "The only thing I can remark upon is that because someone in front of you can lie back so far, it becomes difficult for the person sitting in the window seat to leave his or her seat without disturbing the person in front of him or her."
Pros: "The everything was excellent, easy. Very comfortable with nice professional staff around! Thank you!"
Pros: "The food, drink, and entertainment selection was great. There were tons of movies to watch and keep me entertained."
Cons: "Once I got in I was given a middle seat, which I would not have chosen had I been able to check in prior for this flight. After this we were given great service until half way through the flight when I was becoming quite thirsty and kept trying to signal the flight attendant based on my help button, but no one came, so I had to stop a flight attendant that was passing so I could ask for some water to drink. Overall, the flight was OK, even though I felt a little crammed in my seat and the need to fish for a flight attendant just to get water was a hassle."
Pros: "Ample leg space. Friendly, efficient crew. Restroom area provided space for exercise."
Cons: "Food was fair."
Pros: "THE FLIGHT LEFT ON TIME."
Cons: "LUGGAGE IS LOST. THE FOODS WAS NOT VERY GOOD."
Pros: "Service & timing..."
Cons: "It took them time to fix my entertainment screen..."
Pros: "Loved the clean, bright, new airplane. Loved having a few empty seats to spread out."
Cons: "Wish economy seats had power outlets to charge phones and tablets."
Pros: "The attention to detail was fantastic. The flight attendants took such good care of everyone without preference or prejudice"
Pros: "Perfect"
Pros: "It was my daughter's 16th birthday and one of the spunky crew members helped us to create a little celebration. That was very memorable! Otherwise the flight was late (which was OK, the captain kindly kept us informed), but the plane was clean and quiet. The bathrooms on the lower level provided a space to stretch, but as always, they get pretty dirty on a long-haul flight. Price was quite good. I always feel the flights originating from Europe are nicer than those originating in the US."
Cons: "The food was stuck in the past, roll, white cheese, white cake with sugary fruit, somewhat wilted small salad and a pretty greasy chicken dish with polenta and by that point, stewed veggies. I am not accustomed to eating like that and was disappointed (though hungry!). Not a whole lot of room in my seat, I'm 5'6" and slim, but at least the seats recline and glide forward a bit and the head rest bends to catch your head IF you can nod off. I appreciate the civility that still exists under stressful circumstances."
Pros: "Flight made up for delayed departure so we could get off that flying relic earlier. Had enormous storage bins against outside seat in upper deck business section. Great choice of movies."
Cons: "Bizarre seat design and foot cubbyhole meant I could not find a single comfortable position for 8 hours and I am only 5'10". Awful screen technology in unusual swing out mounting lacked sharp focus except for text screens. Pitiful screen control software. Bizarre flight progress animations."
Pros: "Everything seemed to run smoothly."
Cons: "No issues this leg"
Pros: "It was the most relaxing, comfortable, spacious coach flight we had the entire trip."
Cons: "No option for food"
Pros: "Food was great, as was entertainment interface on tv."
Pros: "Lufthansa Premium Economy is truly that unlike United's and American's which are a complete joke and rip off. The service was very good, the crew very nice, attentive and always smiling, the food was reasonably good, the seat comfort was close to business class with less space and no lie flat but going west is no big deal."
Cons: "I suggest Premium Economy passengers should be able to board right after Business class passengers."
Pros: "The crew was great, the aircraft new and tidy, the flight arrived a bit early, the food and beverage options were solid. Loved the complimentary wine and beer! Good movie selection."
Cons: "I was assigned a different seat than I selected when booking - lost my aisle spot although I checked a few days ago and a seat of my choice was clearly assigned on my reservation. The airline agent in the airport was rude and not helpful."
Pros: "Meals ok. Pillow and blanket nice."
Cons: "Crew stressed. Could not understand announcements. Rude response when questioned."
Pros: "Flight was grest"
Cons: "Very relaxing and smooth flight"
Pros: "I am memebr mike and more account"
Cons: "They inspired me to travel business class"
Pros: "All good"
Cons: "But leg room"
Pros: "Upgrade to business class. Staff was accommodating"
Cons: "Seats were situated next to the bathroom"
Pros: "Custom in Chicago was the fastest I experienced for a long time."
Cons: "Food was questionable."
Pros: "Safe and efficient transportation."
Cons: "The entertainment system wasn't functioning so there weren't any viewing options presented. The crew failed to mention that the United app provides movies on your phone."
Pros: "Clean, good pilots and quick"
Cons: "Flight attendants rushed' us after food too have a drink or a cup of coffee and after 4 hours brot the water or a drink... I felt very thirsty on the hole flight... Smallest sizes ever on drinks... I don't mind paying extra for a good quality service, and I'm flying only with you guys, but that was like a bad experience..."
Pros: "Smooth boarding. Excellent service and good food. New plane with bathrooms a few steps below the seating area made for a quieter flight with no lines in aisles. We paid extra for Economy seats with extra leg room and it was well worth it."
Pros: "The service was absolutely amazing! Even though I was sitting in economy, I was offered something to drink before take off and at least 5-10 times throughout the 9 hour flight. The food was really good for airplane food and it was a nice touch to have an actual plate and silverware. When you're traveling, those little touches make a big difference. The entertainment was wonderful - the screen on the back of the seat was really responsive and had a wide selection. I watched three movies and played several games."
Cons: "My only criticism was the boarding process seemed a bit disorganized. I guess I'm used to boarding by zones or numbers. This was just sort of a free for all. But if that's my only criticism, that says a lot about the flight!"
Cons: "The overall Boarding was chaotic and area was cramped, however, all other service was exceptional. Boarding should be organized by rows."
Pros: "Nice plane, fast boarding, more room."
Cons: "Needs more lavatories"
Pros: "On time, good food and very good service"
Cons: "Economy seats were not comfortable for a long flight."
Pros: "Melanie/ticketing was superior in securing seats on a different departure. She endured many nervous travelers. The new itinerary matched our original time of arrival at ORD within 2 hours. :)"
Cons: "The free check-in of our carry on bags only dissapointed us when not arriving at ORD. We expect them to be delivered soon."
Pros: "Flight was on time Flight crew was exceptional Food was good Baggage made it with no issues I would recommend and use Lufthansa again"
Pros: "cancelled"
Pros: "A good and safe flight. Professional crew. No complaints"
Pros: "Friendly and helpful crew, smooth transfer between flights, comfortable adjustable headrest, easy to request special meal online before flight."
Cons: "Movies available weren't to my taste, which isn't of great importance anyway."
Cons: "Made me go through security twice, 2nd time was right before boarding. Reason: randomly selected. And, they lost my luggage. No valid explanation given. Apparently, will get delivered on next day's flight. A disappointing experience."
Pros: "Crew wasn't on the top of their game, food was ok, entertainment was bad, old movies, poor selection."
Cons: "I expected more from airlines lake Austrian."
Cons: "Flight entertainment was not fully functional. Many films would not play. The meal was also particularly bad - all three options that were available (chicken, pasta and vegetarian curry). Flight attendants often seemed very rushed."
Pros: "The crew was super friendly, food was great and entertainment on board was a great selection."
Cons: "Was very warm on the plane as certain times and even at the terminal, which we could control the fan blowing on us."

It was already assigned and didn't let me change it Boarding was later than scheduled and caused my connecting flight at O'Hare hectic This was the first time that I had ordered Kosher food and I would never make that mistake again, the meal was okay but the sandwich was awful and had no taste!"
Pros: "Medical help"
Pros: "Everything Fromt the crew and service. To checking in and deplaning was awesome"
Pros: "Very pleasant staff on the plane and in the airport. Economy Seats are more comfortable than some other airlines. Food is good."
Cons: "Firstly . The crew were rude ! They did not even response when were calling them from the seat . The only way to talk to them is to find them at the end of the plane ( where they been chating with each other ) Secondly . The amount of snacks was limited where's in Turkish airlines it's unlimited and you can choose different sandwiches whereas in Austrian airilines can offer biscuits and Cookies ;( Thirdly . We are living in 21 century and most transatlantic airlines have WiFi ! Where's Austrian did not have it!"
Pros: "thanks for the trip. all the way was fast and comfortable)"

Cons: "Flight attendants were a bit stoic but did their job."
Pros: "Professional and friendly staff"

Cons: "The service is outstanding I love it. The hostess are very friendly and they have excellent customer service knowledge. I'm happy. ..thanks..... My name is mulugeta Assefa"
Pros: "Flying on a direct flight was nice. The food was good. Ordinarily the snack lunch is not good but the sandwich was quite good."
Cons: "The boarding is best if done by rows but this was just every one trying to board at the same time so it has a more negative effect on passengers."
Pros: "please see comments above for my previous flight excellent experience!!! I used to fly with KLM but with definitely check Austrian Airlines first for my flight needs from now on."
Cons: "Boarding on return flight was utter chaos and was not controlled properly. The crew was very pleasant and , in my opinion, could not have been any bertter."

Pros: "We paid extra for extra leg room. Exit row. Well worth Cabin crew very good and friendly"
Cons: "Connecting flight on United. Horrible experience Chicago to Vegas.seats are small, feeling of claustiphobia, nothing free on entertainment. Only interested in adding to price of ticket. Very warm A/c didn't work well. Totally bad experience on United. Never want to fly on them again"
Pros: "Good food and drinks,great movies"
Cons: "Dirty bathroom,needs upgrade too."
Pros: "Choice of movies Pillow plus blanket Snack-1/2 sandwich plus caramel mousse"
Cons: "I wasn't able to check in online therefor i got terrible seat. The guy next to me was very tall and big and he was stuck on me due to not enough space. I was extremly uncomfortable because he was rude when i asked him to let me out. I asked if i can change seats but the plane was full. I didn't get any sleep either. Extremly tiring and turbulent 10 hour flight."
Pros: "We have children and the crew was very helpful in making it an easy boarding process for all of us."
Cons: "Initially we were jammed into a gate area with all guests and it was absolutely horrible and not safe, especially with our kids."
Cons: "My flight to JFK on August 31 was cancelled. And they didn't provide me ticket same day. They gave ticket for next day. I had problems at work and other issues because of that."
Pros: "My husband's experience with their flight from Chicago to Vienna was amazing. Everybody helped accomodate him with our 15 month baby boy."
Cons: "The crew (check-in desk & flight crew did not put any effort to help accomodate us). They even asked us to do all the work in asking around. Squeezed us in the tightest place possible for travelling with our baby boy. Will not recommend your airline because of this!"
Pros: "All"
Cons: "0"
Pros: "best blanket any business class."
Pros: "More leg room than we had on Swiss Air from Chicago to Vienna via Zurich. In flight food was excellent. Staff was friendly."
Pros: "the crew was amazing."
Cons: "Add more movies, use different headphones, can't hear anything. Add snacks to the flight, and make the second meal bigger, a sandwich is not enough in a 10 hour flight. add more drinks to the list"
Pros: "Easy travel nice plane."
Cons: "Not enough leg room for long flight."
Cons: "Delayed boarding"
Pros: "Flight crew was very nice. Service of drinks was very good. Snack and main meal served too close together."
Cons: "Flight was crowded. Boarding was mediocre & disorganized. I really dislike passengers being allowed to bring suitcases as carry-on luggage. Carry-on means carry on. If you cannot carry your bag by hand for extended time or has rollers, it's not a carry-on. Carry-on is a backpack or small valise not a suitcase with rollers. Boarding of aircraft needs to improve and be expedited."
Pros: "The flight was on time (actually arrived early). Everything was great, except for the seats and knee space, which was just ok - in line with every other company; that doesn't make it good. The entertainment unit was great, many options plus a charging USB port. Food was good; coffee was bad (instant) - is it that difficult to make good coffee on the plane? Crew was professional and efficient. Happy(ish) overall. Thanks."
Pros: "The girl next to me got this special food in actual plates and so forth-the food I think came from business class. Kind of upsetting that my food looked not even 20% of what she was eating."
Pros: "Getting off the plane! Never to return!!"
Cons: "Not enough leg room for an over seas flight. Cramped and uncomfortable . Had to literally climb over the seat to get out of a seated position."
Pros: "The crew from Kili to DarEsSalam was tired. A fresh crew worked from DarEsSalam to AMS and they were great."
Cons: "The boarding process was chaotic. The passengers in the first boarding group had to fight through the crowd because there were no boarding lanes."
Pros: "Impressive service... amazing crew, very friendly and professional"
Pros: "Muslim food"
Cons: "my bagfage was lost"
Pros: "Newer plane, crew was amazing, seats were adjustable"
Pros: "The aircraft"
Cons: "No overbooking next time!"
Pros: "Crew great, boarding at Nice very organised, boarding in Amsterdam not so organised!"
Cons: "A queuing system would be better-it was a bit disorganised at Amsterdam!"
Pros: "Very friendly crew and on time with no problems."
Cons: "Too hot inside the aircraft"
Cons: "Staff rude and short"
Pros: "Friendly crew, upgraded seat was worthwhile"
Cons: "More snacks in between meals,"
Pros: "The seat was a little uncomfortable but the crew were amazing."
Cons: "We were allowed to choose our seats from SFO to Amsterdam but not for the return flight. I like to be able to choise my seats when I book the flight. Choosing seats 24 hours before is not convenient when traveling for the return trip."
Cons: "This return flight was much better than the flight going to Amsterdam. I believe the biggest factor was the type of aircraft. The old 747 just didn't meet expectations. The newer 777 on the way back was much more comfortable, with better amenities."
Pros: "Food, entertainment and crew was exceptionally friendly."
Cons: "Seats not great for such a long flight."
Pros: "The crew was attentive and the seat at economy comfort was comfortable at the "ok" level. It needs much mor3 to be super comfortable. The plug for the headphones was a mess! It was NOT possible to watch a movie and hear the sound too! I gave up! Not a great offering for the extra dollars..."
Cons: "So many things! Starting with the way assistance in the airport is offered to travellers with mobility issues! This is an important issue that needs to be revisited and changes for better service to be made!"
Pros: "The crew was very nice"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seat but it's only a 1 hour flight so not a big deal."
Pros: "The flight arrived a few minutes early."
Cons: "The plane was extremely old and in poor repair. The seats were extremely close together. The inflight entertainment system, wifi and passenger electric outlets were all non-functional. Even the wastebin in the lavatory was full and an extra bag was put on the floor."
Cons: "I have ordered Wheelchair for my parents which one of my parent didn't get it on Mumbai Airport. When they arrived on Amsterdam Netherlands Airport they were dropped to the gate assigned first and once the gate changed on the fly no body came to help them moving to the new gate assigned which was far away to walk. Nobody even came to tell them that the gate has been changed. It was because of my father's alertness they didn't miss the connecting flight and when my father asked help to members on airport none of them helped my parents and other 4 co passengers which also were on wheel chairs. It was so scary experience for them that they asked me not to book any more flights with Jet Airways. I won't recommend Jet Airways to any of my friends for their parents to travel to USA. I strongly recommend you guys to take a strict action against this. This is so unacceptable."
Cons: "Flight canceled, poor communication from the airline to the passengers. Møre than 5 hrs delay"
Pros: "Shirt flight but well catered, boarding was efficient and quick."
Cons: "Not lots of legroom but adequate for an hour long hop. It was cold on board and also had to board via steps from outside"
Pros: "Crew was great, very nice"
Cons: "Not enough legroom"
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Cons: "So many people on a 747!!"
Pros: "Comfort was better than on the previous Dash-8. Food was OK."
Cons: "Despised the cold temperature and cold draft in world business even with all vents shut off...gave me a head cold. Boarding was disorganized. There was no sense of direction; ergo, everyone was jumping in."
Pros: "I am so grateful to have been provided delicious and filling vegan meals on this long flight. Thank you for offering a dietary option that is compassionate toward animals and contributes less to climate change! Now if only the planes were powered by clean, renewable energy... Hopefully that will become a reality someday very soon! Oh, and also the crew on this flight was exceptionally kind and helpful. Thank you so much!"
Cons: "I did not enjoy the turbulence, which I suppose is unavoidable. More importantly, I felt quite guilty about the greenhouse gas emissions of my flight. I have decided to cut down on my air travel as much as possible as a way of reducing my carbon footprint."
Pros: "Great on board service from a very professional crew."
Cons: "Can't think of a thing."
Pros: "We were fed a nice pasta meal and offered drinks twice. They also gave a muffin for desert. The flight attendants were very nice and attentive with cheerful smiles. I wish every airline had service this good!"
Cons: "The cabin crew was racist. She told me to move back from an empty seat just because she wanted one of the guys ( from her country ) to set on it! Very rude and racist."
Pros: "Smooth boarding, clean seats/plane, nice small aircraft (2 rows x 2 seats each), surprisingly spacious (more legroom than expected - and I'm 6'2")."
Cons: "About 1h30min delay without an explanation. All other planes in the terminal seemed to take off on time without a problem, without exception (aside from this flight, of course)."
Pros: "We are guessing they either overbooked or they didn't have sufficient passengers on a Tuesday afternoon who's final stop was Glasgow. They rebooked him for 1200 the next day. DFW to MN, St Paul to Schipole, Amsterdam to final destination, Glasgow. So he ends up having to pay for another Lyft back to our apartment in Dallas, then another additional one for the 12 noon flight the next morning. If he didn't have family living in Dallas, he would've incurred a hotel fee too."
Cons: "He was bumped to the next day due to his flight being cancelled. Then re-booked the next day, with an additional layover. Then due to a 32 minute layover that left 3 minutes sooner..."
Pros: "crew were absolutely delightful, full of smiles and doing everything to make you comfortable. seats were fine enough and got some work done and a bit of sleep. first lunch was fresh and tasty, but the second, a burger, was edible, but not much more."
Cons: "tv screens are dated so movies are not as crisp as you find in newer planes. you need a 2 prong audio adapter to use your own headphones."
Pros: "Food was good and crew members were very nice"
Cons: "My check in luggage was in very bad condition when I receive it. My clothes were all wet and they got bab by each other's colour. Many clothes are not in a condition to wear now. Those were expensive and I had a big loss because of that."
Pros: "Absolutely nothing!"
Cons: "the connection flights was the worse! The gate was changed in Amsterdam 3 times! From D82 to C6 and then to C11. The distance between B82 and C was 20-30 minutes walk. No rushing was needed though, the flight was delayed for 1:30h and after we all boarded a further delay was announced. I will never fly with KLM."
Pros: "The food service was good and the flight attendants were friendly."
Cons: "The plane was very uncomfortable. The seats were small, you felt on top of the person next to you, and there was no leg room. I am a pretty small person- I can't image how uncomfortable all of the taller passengers must have been."
Pros: "Everything. A truly faultless experience!"
Pros: "The flight attendants could not do enough for you."
Cons: "Business class was pretty empty but again I was not allowed to change my seat selection online. Pathetic check-in."
Pros: "Entertainment was good, and crew was very nice and accommodating. Flight was very comfortable and smooth."
Cons: "The food was okay, not that great."
Pros: "Easy boarding, plenty of room"
Pros: "Staff superb. They even surprised us with an exit row and a gift for my partners birthday! Amazing. Samantha and Dennis also took time to come and personally wish him a happy birthday. A lovely touch. This airline runs like clockwork. They are just great. The sandwich and stoop waffle are nice too."
Cons: "There is a bus to the plane, so that takes a bit of extra time but they are very well organized."
Pros: "Efficiency and speed of boarding was acceptable. I have no complaints about that aspect. The Comfort+ seats were worth the upgrade, pretty comfortable and reasonable legroom unless you have a big carry on stowed under the seat in front of you."
Cons: "The first announcement they made to all of us in the economy section was thay they did not have any headphones for anyone but business class. I was told when I booked the seat that the headphones would be complementary. So I did not bother to bring any assuming they were going to keep their word; I figure I'd make it work and watch a movie without sound. If that isn't bad enough midway through my nine hour flight my monitor went out and would not turn back on."
Pros: "Everytime she passed she was hitting me or I had to hold my drink so that she wouldn't knock it off"
Pros: "Loved this 747! Crew was professional and food was very good."
Cons: "We had a long wait (25 minutes) at the gate because we were early."
Pros: "I fly delta this was run by KLM they weight all bags delta does not they don't take TSA preach Check. Delta does It was a free for all with check in and getting into plane"
Pros: "Loads of leg room"
Cons: "Loved everything"
Pros: "Good and plenty of food available."
Cons: "No power to charge phones, laptops, etc and no WiFi available. For such a long trip (10 hours) below industry standard."
Pros: "KLM fed a sandwich even though the flight was only 2 hours. The crew was pleasant. Getting through the Amsterdam airport to catch a connecting flight with only an hour to do so was no big deal. Airport staff was pleasant and helpful."
Pros: "Food and drink service"
Cons: "Boarding pass facility"
Pros: "leg room economy compared to KLM"
Cons: "full flight, no upgrade possible"

text:
El castillo de Feria es una fortificación medieval situada en la cima de una colina muy encrespada junto a la localidad española de Feria (Badajoz). Tiene la particularidad de estar rodeado por unas llanuras de enorme extensión por lo que tenía un gran valor militar muy estratégico. En la falda de esta colina está el pueblo de Feria que es un municipio español, perteneciente a la provincia de Badajoz y perteneciente a su vez de la comunidad autónoma de Extremadura. La población se asienta en la vertiente meridional de la Sierra Vieja, a medio camino entre Santa Marta y Zafra. Pertenece a la comarca de Zafra - Río Bodión y al Partido judicial de Zafra.

Los orígenes
En 1394, el rey Enrique III entregó la villa a Gomes Suárez de Figueroa, maestre de la Orden de Santiago, con el título de Conde de Feria. Más tarde, Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa, hijo del anterior, fue nombrado Duque de Feria, llegando así en esta época el Señorío de Feria a su culmen, construyéndose además la mayor parte de lo que sería el castillo de la localidad, conocido como Castillo de Feria.

Pero ya mucho antes los celtas, aproximadamente en el año 850 años a. C. poblaban este lugar y le daban el nombre de Seria. Posteriormente, los romanos construyeran un castro en el mismo lugar donde hoy está el castillo y posteriormente lo toman los árabes para edificar en el siglo XI una pequeña alcazaba y la llamaron Seridja. Al comienzo del siglo XI, Al-Aftas, fundador de la Taifa de Badajoz, se ocupó de ampliar las defensas de Feria y otras fortalezas más, con instalaciones para hacerlas efectivas contra los reyezuelos de Sevilla,  Córdoba y Carmona. Se ampliaba la línea de defensa de Sierra Morena que se extendía por el Castellar de Zafra, Tentudía, Montemolín y Reina. Las rocas cuarcíticos del apuntado otero  cónico se vieron desde resaltados como su primera torre defensiva.

La estructura

Como ya se indicó, debido a su situación estratégica, el alto en el que se encuentra el castillo de Feria ha sido utilizado como punto defensivo desde que los primeros hombres se establecieron en estas tierras. Del castillo destaca su enorme torre del homenaje, de planta cuadrada y con las esquinas redondeadas. Todo el castillo se encuentra en lo alto de un promontorio, por encima de la localidad de Feria, que domina toda la zona en muchos kilómetros a la redonda ya que le rodea un terreno muy llano a lo largo y ancho de muchos km desde donde las vistas son impresionantes. Los árabes construyeron en el siglo XI una importante fortaleza defensiva. Cerca de cuatro siglos tarde las tropas cristianas tomaron la zona y  Feria pasó a ser propiedad del  Maestre de la Orden de Santiago D.  Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa

Los Suárez de Figueroa llegaron a ser propietarios de un extenso territorio conocido como «Casa de Feria» cuyo nombre proviene de la  Casa de Feria, que incluía numerosas poblaciones de la zona, incluyendo Zafra. La fortaleza de Feria tiene visión directa de los castillos de Villalba de los Barros, Zafra y Nogales (Badajoz), situados también estratégicamente para controlar y defender todo el territorio de los Suárez de Figueroa por señales ópticas mediante fuego o reflejos del sol. La primera torre y el conjunto principal del castillo de Feria se construyeron a mediados del siglo XV por don Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa que en 1460 acometió unas importantes reformas que terminó su nieto en 1513 aprovechando las zonas más fuertes de las antiguas murallas. El resultado fue la imagen que ha llegado hasta la actualidad: una fortaleza de unos 7 000 metros cuadrados, con una plaza de armas, dividida en dos zonas por una serie de murallas en línea en medio de las cuales se alza la torre del homenaje, de 40 m de altura y 18 m de lado y llevándose a cabo posteriormente algunas reformas y reconstrucciones de mejora interna y de defensa.

El recinto amurallado tiene un trazado que sigue la orografía del terreno y por ello la muralla es muy irregular. La muralla tiene torres, unas redondos y otras prismáticas. En el interior del recinto amurallado hay otra muralla transversal, menos fuerte, que divide el castillo en dos partes lo que permitía reagrupar la defensa uno de ellos en caso de que algunas zonas de las otra parte se viera demasiado asediada por los atacantes.La «torre del homenaje» está situada en esa zona intermedia. Se aseguraba un alto nivel defensivo en caso de emergencia mediante una disposición estratégica de entradas y salidas a la torre ya que la parte inferior de esta de la torre no tiene puertas y el acceso a las plantas habitables de la torre se realiza desde la muralla lo que dificulta muchísimo el acceso de los atacantes.

La torre tiene cuatro cuerpos o pisos. El sótano probablemente estaría dedicado a almacén de provisiones y el aljibe. La primera planta era la de residencia del «señor del castillo» y las dos plantas superiores tendrían usos varios. Actualmente la primera planta ha sido acondicionada y restaurada. Para llenar los aljibes había un conducto que llevaba el agua recogida en la parte superior hacia el aljibe mayor situado en el sótano. Además de este aljibe, cada zona del recinto amurallado disponía de su aljibe para almacenar agua y procurar la independencia entre zonas.

A pesar del enorme volumen y gran presencia de la torre, hay detalles constructivos de mucha elegancia, como los finos recercos y  enmarques de algunas de sus ventanas, la puerta de entrada es de estilo gótico, con arco  poligonal cuyos vértices se reúene con rosetas, la cornisa sobre canecillos y el matacán redondo sobre ménsulas.

Once a royal palace, playing host to the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner, the Smetana Hotel retains a majestic glamour, with sumptuous four-poster beds and colorful frescoes. A warm welcome, luxurious Sisley spa, and a refined Czech restaurant only add to the regal experience. With a prime position overlooking the Vltava River, and within minutes of Charles Bridge, it is an ideal base from which to explore the enchanting cobbled alleyways and centuries-old edifices of Prague Old Town.
With ornate décor, crystal chandeliers, and ceiling frescoes, there is much about this Baroque property that tells the story of its prestigious past. Nowadays, a French influence has elevated its elegance with a vintage bar, a suite filled with Lutetia furnishings acquired at auction, and essential-oil based beauty treatments by the prestigious Sisley brand.
The hotel's 50 guestrooms and suites each have their own character. Some are endowed with four-poster beds and exposed wooden beams; others are decorated with busts and chaise lounges. Luxurious suites are adorned with hand-painted frescoes. Large windows look out across the River Vltava or a stone-paved courtyard, and every room comes with a minibar, coffee machine, and an aromatherapy shower system with scents such as lime, peppermint, and rose. Deluxe suites also have a separate living area, while family suites have two bedrooms and a spacious lounge.
One of the most exquisite accommodations is the Mozart Suite with curtain-framed views of sun-drenched courtyards. Set in the original 17th-century palace (the noble Pachta family's former residence), it is here where Mozart is said to have composed 6 German Dances for the Count. The décor includes period furniture and pieces that celebrate the prolific musician, making it a lovely place to order afternoon tea from the hotel's 24-hour room service.
There is an air of romance at mealtimes here, with settings that include a courtyard under the stars, a retro café, and an elegant restaurant with crisp white tablecloths.
Bistro Bohemian Rhapsody – With a casual Parisian ambiance, this bistro serves a delectable breakfast with freshly brewed coffee, buttery pastries, and made-to-order eggs.
Restaurant Smetana – Sip on a chilled aperitif while you watch chefs in action in the open kitchen. Dishes at this restaurant are a refined affair, based on Old Bohemian recipes with a hint of French flair. Try the sous-vide guinea fowl with saffron potatoes and chanterelle mushrooms or the classic veal schnitzel. The restaurant's wine cellar is stocked with premium bottles and vintages.
Chapel Cigar Club – Set in the palace's 1628 chapel, this warm, intimate space has leather armchairs and vaulted ceilings, a suitable atmosphere for smoking hand-rolled cigars with a glass of whiskey in hand.

What Should Palestinians Expect?
Can Trump Be Any Worse?
by Ramzy Baroud / November 23rd, 2016
Fear and trepidation are slowly building up, as US President-elect, Donald Trump, is fortifying his transitional team with people capable of bringing about a nightmare scenario, not only for Americans but for the rest of the world as well.
For Palestinians, however, the signs are even more ominous. From former New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani, to Republican leader Newt Gingrich, the Trump team is filling up with dishonorable men who have made careers out of pandering to Israeli interests and unabashedly discounting Palestinian rights.
While Gingrich had claimed in 2011 that Palestinians are an 'invented' people, Giuliani, according to Jewish News Service "is fondly remembered in the Jewish community for expelling Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) chief, Yasser Arafat, from a United Nations concert at Lincoln Center in 1995."
Considering earlier statements made by Trump himself last May – that the expansion of illegal Jewish settlements in the Occupied West Bank 'should keep moving forward' – to more recent comments by Trump's point person in Israel, Jason Greenblatt, that the illegal colonies are 'not an obstacle to peace', it is fairly certain that the Trump administration is decidedly anti-peace and anti-Palestinians.
Israeli officials are, of course, rejoicing at the opportunity of working with such an administration, with Education Minister Naftali Bennet celebrating the 'end of a Palestinian state' era and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman inviting Trump to 'coordinate the development' of the illegal settlements.
But the media forecast for the next four years in US foreign policy towards Palestine and Israel is also prejudiced. It is true that Trump's prospective line-up of old politicians is not conducive to the achievement of a just peace in Palestine by any stretch of the imagination, but presenting the news as if the prospects of a thriving just peace had existed under the administration of Barack Obama is simply laughable.
The Obama administration, despite the uneasy relationship between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been one of the friendliest and most generous towards Israel. Obama has remained steadfast on Israel's side as they both fought against Palestinian political aspirations in international institutions.
Only recently, Obama signed a 'landmark agreement' by giving Israel $38 billion in military funding, the largest aid package in US history.
So those worried about things getting worse for Palestinians under a Trump presidency can take comfort in the fact that they already have.
But will this impact the American position towards a Palestinian state?
Not in the least because, again, Obama, like his predecessors fought tirelessly to prevent a Palestinian state from ever taking form. If a distinction is to emerge between the Obama and Trump administrations, it is likely to be manifested in rhetoric, not in action: the former refined and articulate, the latter belligerent and demagogic. Either way, Palestinians lose.
In his last speech before the United Nations, Obama dedicated a single sentence to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict – a sentence that accurately reflected his failure to positively affect the outcomes of the Middle East's most protracting, destabilizing conflict.
Both sides would "be better off if Palestinians reject incitement and recognize the legitimacy of Israel, but Israel recognizes that it cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land," he said. Nothing more.
While his previous speeches dedicated much rhetoric to the conflict in Palestine and Israel, the last UN speech – and that sentence alone – was a more honest indication of eight years that lacked vision, or even a sincere attempt at finding one.
Over that eight-year period, during which time thousands of innocent people – the vast majority of whom were Palestinians – were killed, Obama purportedly labored to achieve the proverbial, although misleading, 'middle ground'. The outcome of his policies were quite devastating: whereas he sold Palestinians false hope, he granted Israel most of its needs of military funding and technology, shielding it from international censure, too.
Moreover, during the last Israeli war on Gaza in 2014 which killed and wounded thousands, Obama ensured the Israeli army's storage of ammunitions and military hardware remained at full capacity.
On the political front, he ensured Palestinian efforts aimed at obtaining recognition for their future state were soundly defeated. He went as far as denying the UN cultural organization, UNESCO, from nearly a quarter of its funding simply for admitting 'Palestine' as a new member.
Yet, some are, naively, hoping that Obama will seek recognition for the State of Palestine at the UN Security Council in his remaining weeks in the Oval Office. These hopes have been buoyed by media reports that Obama had instructed the State Department to develop an 'option menu' regarding his vision for a resolution to the conflict.
While Palestinians and their supporters are optimistic that Obama will redeem himself, even if symbolically, and support the Palestinian push for statehood, Obama is unlikely to carry out any such steps, especially since Trump is bound to defeat such initiatives once he moves into the White House.
Additionally, the soon-to-depart president has had eight full years to show real grit and to take advantage of his first-term popularity to challenge the pro-Israel lobby and present his country as a truly 'honest broker' in an unequal conflict. He could have, at least, sided with the majority of humanity by adding his country's voice to those that recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations.
As of September of last year, 139 of the UN's member states (and two non-member states) have recognized Palestine. But those recognitions remain largely symbolic as long as the US is unyielding in its rejection of Palestinian aspirations. An unwavering supporter of Israel, the US is not only blocking full Palestinian membership at the UN, but is doing its utmost to prevent 'Palestine' from gaining access to international institutions.
Regardless of what position is to be recommended by the State Department to Obama in his final days in the White House, the misfortunes of the Palestinians are unlikely to be reversed overnight, or in the foreseeable future. Judging from Trump's friendly overtures towards Israel – for example, inviting Netanyahu and his wife to visit Washington shortly after winning the elections – the immediate future does not look promising.
History has taught us that, when it comes to US foreign policy towards Palestine and Israel, things are likely to get worse, not better. Despite the current chasm within American society, among the media and political elites, the American love affair with Israel will continue. The ongoing war on Palestinian rights and aspirations will also linger.
The Palestinian leadership seems unable to understand such an obvious reality. The Palestinian Authority in Ramallah is either unaware or, perhaps, oblivious to the fact that its salvation will not arrive from Washington, but from its ability to navigate the US-Israeli alliance in a resolved and united manner.
Indeed, regardless of what position Obama – or even Trump – may or may not take, it will have little bearing on the outcome if Palestinians remain divided. Far more significant than the inflammatory drivel of Gingrich and Giuliani, Palestinian division and their inability to confront the Israeli Occupation with one unified and daring strategy is Palestine's greatest, and most pressing challenge.

Do graphite and diamond have the same properties?
What is a single layer of graphite called?
Why do graphite and diamond have different structure?
Why is diamond hardest?
Is graphite stronger than diamonds?
Why is diamond a poor conductor of electricity?
It's because the carbon atoms are rearranged in a specific geometric shape that gives the diamond its properties. Graphite is formed from the carbon atoms resulting from the metamorphism of minerals such as marble, quartz, etc. The arrangement of the molecules are a result of a different physical structure.
Graphite and diamond are two of the most interesting minerals. They are identical chemically – both are composed of carbon (C), but physically, they are very different. Minerals which have the same chemistry but different crystal structures are called polymorphs.
Diamond is one of the hardest materials known, is transparent to light, and does not conduct electricity at all. Graphite is soft, gray, and can conduct electricity reasonably well. Such different properties, from two substances that are composed of exactly the same kinds of atoms!Feb 18, 2014.
Why do diamond and graphite have different physical properties, even though they are both composed entirely of the element carbon? The minerals have different arrangements of carbon atoms.
This means that each carbon atom has a 'spare' electron (as carbon has four outer electrons) which is delocalised between layers of carbon atoms. These layers can slide over each other, so graphite is much softer than diamond. This conductivity makes graphite useful as electrodes for electrolysis .
We know that both diamond and graphite are made of carbon. However, diamond is harder than graphite because of the carbon atoms in a diamond form 4 covalent bonds in the form of tetrahedral structure. While the carbon atoms in the graphite form 4 covalent bonds in the form of hexagonal structure.
Diamond has a rigid and compact structure due to which it takes more energy and time to convert into graphite and therefore, it is kinetically more stable but thermodynamically less stable than graphite.
Diamond has a tetrahedral structure and is the hardest material known to man. There are strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms and each carbon atom is bonded to 4 other carbon atoms. Graphite has a hexagonal layered structure and each carbon is bonded via strong covalent bonds to 3 other carbon atoms.
Graphite also has a lower density (2.266 grams per cubic centimeter) than diamond. The planar structure of graphite allows electrons to move easily within the planes. This permits graphite to conduct electricity and heat as well as absorb light and, unlike diamond, appear black in color.
Both graphite and diamond are made only of carbon atoms. Graphite is very soft and slippery. Diamond is the hardest substance known to man. The answer lies in the way the carbon atoms form bonds with each other.
In a graphite molecule, one valence electron of each carbon atom remains free, Thus making graphite a good conductor of electricity. Whereas in diamond, they have no free mobile electron. Hence there won't be flow of electrons That is the reason behind diamond are bad conductor electricity.
Graphite is soft because it has weak inter molecular forces between its layers. Diamond is hard due to its giant covalent lattice and it has many strong covalent bonds.
The carbon atoms in graphite appear to bond with weaker intermolecular forces, allowing the layers to move over one another. The weak intermolecular forces are known as the weak Van der Waals forces. Therefore, diamond is hard but graphite is soft and slippery even though both have carbon present in them.
Carbon. Both graphite and diamonds are made out of pure carbon. The chemical composition of the two is exactly the same. Allotropes are compounds that have the same chemical makeup but have different structures which results in different properties.
Graphene is a single layer of graphite. The strong covalent bonds between the carbon atoms mean that graphene: has a very high melting point.
Graphite and Diamond are different because they have different structures. Both have Giant Covalent Structures, resulting in very high melting temperatures. However each carbon atom in Diamond has 4 covalent bonds with other Carbons, making it extremely strong and hard.
The outermost shell of each carbon atom has four electrons. In diamond, these electrons are shared with four other carbon atoms to form very strong chemical bonds resulting in an extremely rigid tetrahedral crystal. It is this simple, tightly-bonded arrangement that makes diamond one of the hardest substances on Earth.
Contrary to common belief, the chemical bonds in graphite are actually stronger than those that make up diamond. While within each layer of graphite the carbon atoms contain very strong bonds, the layers are able to slide across each other, making graphite a softer, more malleable material.
As we know diamond is a giant covalent structure i.e. each carbon atom is covalently bonded with other carbon atoms. So the four outermost electrons, four carbon atoms, are engaged or trapped in the covalent bonds which means that there are no free electrons. So diamond is a bad conductor of electricity.

Les Misérables hits box office, fails to live up to hype
Molly Wade, Co-Web Editor
Les Misérables has had a long history of adaptations since the book by Victor Hugo was first written. On Christmas Day, the newest of those adaptations was released in theaters. Being the first take on Les Misérables to be both a movie and a musical, Working Films and Universal Pictures had something to prove.
The power players for this production were stars like Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried, while some lesser known actors made an even bigger debut. Younger stars like Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit and Samantha Barks were quick to become new objects of the public eye. Throughout the movie, the acting was sufficient. Some actors stood out more than others mostly because of the emotional part they played.
Whatever emotional parts gripped the audience, like Fantine's descent into poverty and horror or Jean Valjean's spiritual uplifting, all seriousness was well balanced out by the Thénardiers played by Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. Their songs were hilarious and they aced the parts of "characters you loved to hate."
The atmosphere of the film was truly amazing right down to every detail. Les Misérables is not meant to be seen and heard, it is meant to be felt. The sets echoed those of the Broadway musical adaptation where the whole play revolves around one set and sometimes moves from time to time. Details like dirty hands, a torn costume or what looked to be teeth that were in need of a cleaning, all added to the aesthetic feeling it created. It seemed like the goal of the Les Misérables movie was to promote what can been seen of the screen rather than on a stage like a play.
The only thing that seems to be bringing the movie down is the singing. The actors chose to sing live and not in a recording studio for their songs and a few did succeed in doing so while others like Russell Crowe seemed awkward like they did not fit. At first it added to the tone of the movie, desperate singing for desperate times. It just worked. But the actors and the studios have been receiving flack for not using methods to clean up the songs. For the actual movie, it is impressive that they sang live but for the soundtrack and other such uses, they could have cleaned it up. The chorus also did a great job supporting the cast.
Many of the root problems fall to the musical adaptation and the original book itself. Characters like Cosette and Marius are fairly flat characters and the only reason the audience takes interest in them is because of characters like Éponine who form the last corner of a love triangle. The book largely relies on religious symbolism to make a point, so in translation, the adaptation is understandably shaky. And the problem of singing did not only come from the abilities of the actors but the lyrics of songs like "The Confrontation" that feel like they are talk-singing and not telling an actual story. The more emotional songs like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own" carried the movie. In between each of the main songs, the small lines that were sung instead of read felt unnecessary and awkward. They did not fit and the lines probably would have been better spoken in the first place.
The newest adaptation of Les Misérables was pleasing and quite a solid performance. It had some issues but once past them, the movie becomes enjoyable. The movie should get an Oscar or two, but it certainly will not win best picture due to the issues it suffers from.

The Dropkick Murphys steal the show at this year's River Rave!
Murphys give Rave a powerful kicker
By Steve Morse, Globe Staff, 5/27/2003
MANSFIELD -- The River Rave is still among the best rock bargains of the season. For tickets of $45 and $65 (a fraction of what it costs to see some superstars), a consumer gets 10 hours of music from 17 acts spread over two stages. And that doesn't count other goodies such as the rave tent, the halfpipe for skateboarders, and the gaming displays for computer geeks. It's full-service rock 'n' roll with a 21st-century edge.
It was quite amusing, therefore, to see Boston's old-school punk band the Dropkick Murphys steal the show. Some folks questioned whether the Murphys could headline over hot bands such as Good Charlotte and AFI, not to mention Beck and special guest Jane's Addiction. But the Murphys did it in style Sunday, playing a propulsive closing set that kept most of the 17,000 fans from leaving early to beat traffic. Singer Al Barr's gruff, street-smart vocals and the general mania of the band were something to behold in the cavernous Tweeter Center, which was a long way from the recent St. Patrick's week shows the Murphys played at the smaller Avalon.
Another sign of approval was the number of musicians standing by the stage to hear the Murphys' punk anthems, including AFI's Davey Havok and Good Charlotte's Joel Madden. ''I'm 100 percent Irish,'' said Madden. ''I love the gang vocals and the feel of the music. And there's some old Irish folk music in there.'' There was also a stunning duet between Barr and Stephanie Doherty, who often sings with the band, on ''If I Were a Carpenter,'' dedicated to the late June Carter Cash.
The Murphys had the mosh pit churning, climaxing a WBCN-sponsored River Rave that defied most expectations. There was fear that, because 'BCN downsized the event to the Tweeter Center from Gillette Stadium this year, the talent and the energy might be off. Not true. Most bands seemed turned on by the setting and played their hearts out. The main stage was electric, starting with an opening set by South Africa's Seether, which was joined by Amy Lee of Evanescence and peaked with a tribute to deceased singer Dave Williams of Drowning Pool (''Fine Again,'' with its lyric ''I'm not scared now'').
The main stage stayed hot with the Donnas offering a punky whirl spiced by the attitude-rich ''Who Invited You.'' The Used hurt the pace with a fairly generic set, but it picked up again with Evanescence (whose singer, Lee, worked the crowd like a seasoned pro), AFI (with singer Havok standing atop outstretched hands in the mosh pit), then Jane's Addiction, which played for only about 25 minutes but made them count. Pencil-thin singer Perry Farrell struck funny Charles Atlas poses and barked out the new single ''Just Because'' (from an album due July 22) plus Jane's alt-rock classic ''Been Caught Stealing,'' with guitarist Dave Navarro adding synapse-shredding power chords. It was a great performance that made one long for more when the band headlines Lollapalooza on July 25 at the Tweeter.
The Memphis-based Saliva added old-fashioned, horn-salute metal/rock that niftily included a snatch of Tears for Fears' ''Shout'' and a nasty putdown of the Dixie Chicks and Pearl Jam for questioning the recent war in Iraq.
Then came a superb set from hippie-surfer/Dave-Matthews-in-the-making Jack Johnson. Smart money suggested that he couldn't follow Saliva, but he did so beautifully. That led to a somewhat meandering but mostly spot-on set from rock experimentalist Beck. From ''Loser'' to ''Devils Haircut,'' he gave the crowd what it wanted. A nonstop, showmanship-drenched stint from the neo-punk Good Charlotte then set up the Dropkicks finale. The only disappointment was the cancellation of Blur, which WBCN program director Oedipus said was because of a ''weak excuse.''
Meanwhile, the ''pit stage'' in the parking lot hummed with 'BCN Rumble winner Dresden Dolls, followed by the likes of hed (pe), which mixed frat-boy humor and revolutionary rhetoric; Interpol, whose droney, Velvet Underground-like sound was a sophisticated change; and Finch, which somehow drew more females to its mosh pit than any other band. How to explain that? Hey, it's the River Rave. Just enjoy. It's not rocket science.
