Looking forward to some nice bumpfests and free hotel stays in STR
Don`t get me started on that - this is the connection for all late longhauls out of FRA and they want to stiff you for booking gurantee and north of 400 € - this is really absurd. I have lately been dirving STR / FRA almost weekly because of the lack of seats.
The flight is always full - STR is really the pits of the LH hub and spoke system - they do not want to provide any service and force the pax to seek other alternatives as you can not get connections to the longhauls.
And it gets constantly worse - years ago the schedule was 40 - 45 min - now it is sometimes 60+ - fine - but every bloody flight is still delayed from STR - no matter what reason.
Being in STR is really a punishment.
