I detected more than a little bit of snobbery in this report too. I think snide references to hoi polloi being upgraded from coach and chugging champagne, as well as expecting blocked-off seats in F as if it were a birthright are the height of snobbery. </font>
Oh please, there's nothing snobbish about this report at all! We all feel a little disappointed when one minute we have a nice empty seat next to us for a long haul flight, then the next minute, it's gone! It's really not a big deal and I certainly don't think
Buster CT1K is being snobbish and if he is, so what? He's flying in First Class, IMHO, he can be snobbish if he chooses to be!
Also, how are you making the assumption that the family and the single guy upgraded to F were upgraded from Y and not from J, as would be the norm on most carriers? LH offers three class service on transcontinental flights and it's quite rare on LH to get a Y-F upgrade over Y-J.
Buster CT1K, great report! It's nice to read about European carriers from time to time. Are the Bogner sweatshirts really nice to keep? I'm not familiar with them. Also, do they come in more than one size?
I look forward to reading the SIN-FRA-JFK reports.
