Catering seems to have picked up recently in my view. As someone who likes scones, I even find afternoon tea OK - 2 bottles of champagne and 2 scones (chuck the sarnies) is all I want at 2-3pm.

Being guaranteed Row 1 (Gold, always book well in advance) helps. Have not been off Row 1 since the new seats came in.

If you have no status, I think the extra 4,500 Avios plus £7.50 to upgrade the outbound leg of a Europe redemption (well, 'near' Europe) to be a genuine bargain given that it gets you fast track, lounge access, priority boarding, seat at the front, empty middle seat and better food and drink. The cash differential on paid tickets, over a weekend, seems to have dropped as well.

Remember that Lufthansa wants 25,000 miles plus £120 tax for an economy redemption from London to Frankfurt.
