+1^ And you now know how much LH F blows away ANY US domestic carrier F. Did you have a chance to hit the First Class terminal in FRA?

( For those of you who don't know, LH has a dedicated terminal for F flyers where they actually take you to your plane via Mercedes limo, serve JW Blue, have a white table cloth sit down restaurant, dorm rooms for sleeping, etc.)
