advice sought (YYZ-VIE)
I just flew FRA-YYZ on LH. I encountered two problems:
- FRA is a zoo. Crowded, long lines @ passport control, # delays, need to take buses to reach aircraft. I was under the impression these issues were being addressed but IMO FRA is still dreadful!
- Traveling in J, LH replaced Airbus with a 747-400. Old aircraft, noisy, washrooms are horrible, and (again) flight was delayed.
Now planning for next summer in Y. Are the alternatives better? i.e.
- VIE-YYZ on Austrian (767 is scheduled);
- MUC-YYZ?

What is way more pleasant than FRA is VIE, but that is MUC, too, and probably even more so.

BOM had it removed and was flying 744s this whole summer - now they are putting it back on in October I think... (At least when I'm traveling - not sure of exactly when)
Are they simply rotating them around - or what is the plan of attack??
First class only on some dates - seems pointless, really!

That's a good way to describe global airline management today.

Middle East Routing changes (no DOH, adding KWI-BAH)
Per Airlineroute.net Lufthansa will route their BAH service through KWI instead of DMM going forward.

Anyone knows if they have 5th freedom rights on this sector?
