Just returned from a long trip: SFO/FRA/DEL and BLR/FRA/SFO, all in Lufthansa first on GPUs -- phenomenal use of those GPUs for great service, great food/wine, and an excellent seat (especially on the A380)
You need 4 GPUs for that routing, so you can't do that too often!

True only for UA flyers who can buy premium cabin tickets.
