FRANKFURT to CASABLANCA (FRA-CMN) on Lufthansa A321-200 in business class

There was a change to an airbridge gate so no car ride to the aircraft for me. It was a short walk to the gate and boarding commenced just as I arrived. First call families with young kids. Then a free for all.

The flight was very full but I still managed a row to myself (middle seat is automatically blocked for shorthaul business class on Lufthansa). Before take-off we were offered newspapers and magazines, and a moist towelette in the tin foil packet.

After take-off a drink and packet of macadamia nuts before dinner was served. I had a few bites to eat and some drinks before dozing - trying to get some sleep on this night of short flights.

I awoke when the captain made a longish announcement before landing. A slightly dry towel (of the regular variety that doesn't come in a tin foil packet) was handed out along with arrival cards for Morocco. We had good views of city lights. We taxiied past the terminal and then double backed to our gate. Yay it is an airbridge rather than bus gate - always a relief on short turnarounds in the middle of the night.
