Jump to postWow. The presentation of the meal is so classy, not. Sure it's a short flight and a hot meal is welcome. But aluminium foil in business class? A sturdy plastic container could be substituted - maybe the kind that EK used to have in economy. They could be recycled rather than just scrapped, but I kno...
Jump to postGood trip report and once again, it is pleasing to see that you also wrote a report rather than simply posting a link to somewhere else. I do enjoy a good read.

Jump to postHi ClassicLover! Another excellent trip report there! Love all your pictures in places in Australia that I haven't managed to visit.

Jump to postHi once more, Allrite. After reading your report I am pleased to see that you ended on a positive note. You still have a journey ahead of you but at least you're optimistic at this point.

Hi Zolagola! What a fantastic day out. Lufthansa certainly spared no expense in this special flight. No wonder there was a queue at the buffet in HAM.

Either w...
