    Looking at the comments from the reviews of people who have came here recently and almost all of them were 100% accurate compared to the experience I had. Here’s a summary of Lufthansa Cargo at JFK…<br><br>Useless, lazy and inept cast of a few employees milking the clock while drivers wait for hours and compete for their turn to be helped. (You’re ‘signed in’ confirmation paper from the computer says ‘wait to be called’ but no one calls you so you get skipped by a person who just walks in)

    They have to give me 10 stars for booking with them, first and last time even I pay $1000 extra but no more this trash place , many instructions on board not to pay employees but actually they force yoi to pay them just to answer simple questions
