Finally, you made the most important point. ^

We can def. complain about a lot of things in Germany, but we should not complain about air fares being too high.

This would be ridiculous considering what we pay these days. So we can only hope that LH continues on the path set by Franz, that some sheiks continue to subsidize aviation like crazy & Erdogan follows their approach. And as long as we continue to support struggling local airports as well, we do not need any change at all destroying this beautiful business case for the German citizen.

We have to accept that LH's dividend will be lower due to all these factors, but as long as they offer DXB at €99 ex CGN, we should ignore the dividend as well.

I really feel for the average Nekkie who has to pay for the Homann potatoe salad now instead of getting it for free at the Sen lounge, but 400g @ € 1,11 at your local Rewe even gets you a few miles via Payback these days.

Add a Humana milk powder double coupon to the mix and you are already on a good way to a Fly Smart award.
