They can't do anything against crowded lounges and the fact, that in the 1st-class-security-control-line often are queueing Eco-passenders without status because ther are less people waiting. The control-staff is just looking at the boarding pass but not checking class and status. Complaining about that doesn't help.
hi,
in my exp. in munich, they are checking status and booking class.
i everytime tried to go through the normal eco line, because they are often faster or less crowded. 3 times, i was told to use the 1st / business line, as i had status or a business class ticket etc.
i even tried to tell them, i dont want to use the priority line, but they told me to go to the more crowded line
anyway, this is only a personal xp.
anyway, a friend of mine is HON too, and he told me that he was bumped on a flight last time, but received a very high compensation.
so HON is nice as a status, but i think until lufthansa has established the service worldwide on a same level, it will not help you much more than being Senator.
but i am sure lufthansa will take care of that.
