Like the new C?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Things we learned during the 30 minute break at the airport:

If you have no luggage with you
AND
you have in your hand a folded up bright green safety vest
AND
the lanyard around your neck has "Lufthansa" and its logo
THEN
you might get a 20% employee discount at the airport coffee and pastry shop without even asking.

Unfortunately, due to a work-related emergency this morning, I was unable to join today's event. Needless to say, I'm gutted, but take comfort in the fact that I'll see you all at brunch tomorrow. Looking forward to it!

Of course, we don't know if there's gonna be a similar discount at the Frankfurt transit museum on Sundays, but if anybody is interested in going there after brunch tomorrow, let's join up. It's at the end of the 12 tram line

The colds that both of us are fighting laid us low for dinner but we expect to see everyone at brunch tomorrow and, if possible, join bdnyc at the transit museum.

Thank you rcs85551 and LufthansaFlyer for organizing this fantastic DO with its brilliant LH Cargo and LH Technik, Training and Premium Economy tour as well as the look behind the scenes the FRA baggage handling.
Also thank you for picking out nice dinner and brunch locations. Food was excellent.

Thanks for meeting up old FT- and VFT-friends, having nice and warm chats and talks and getting to know new users of FT and VFT.

It was a great weekend

Also a big thank you from my side! Very interesting insights into everyday work at LH and the airport! Great to meet interesting people which make appetite for more DOs with "crazy" people from FT!

A huge thank you to rcs85551 and LufthansaFlyer for all their hard work in organizing such a busy weekend of airport events and social venues. Your efforts are much appreciated. ^^

Excellent to see and hear about Lufthansa, specifically, and the airport in general. Lots of interesting, insightful, and informative tours, inside LH Technik, and Fraport baggage control center,as well as outside LH Cargo and airside bus ride.
I now know what seats to pick from Premium Economy forward (business and first class)!

Great restaurant venues for socializing and enjoying the fare.

(I now think I have a good handle on the FRA Transit system ... my all day passes including airport got a good workout, especially Saturday).

Wonderful to chat with familiar faces and meet new folks ... look forward to seeing all at future DOs.

I would like to add our thanks for rcs8551 for his work and gracious invitation to the weekend events.

However, the cold bug brought its rotten krankheit to both of us on Friday and we were barely able to participate in many of the events. We hope to see everyone in better circumstances next time around.
