Changed my AC 788 J TXL-CPH-YYZ-YYJ AP flight to LH A330 F TXL-MUC-YVR-YYJ; bad move?
So I just changed my AC 788 J TXL-CPH-YYZ-YYJ aeroplan flight to LH A330 F TXL-MUC-YVR-YYJ.
Think that was a bad move? Cost me $330 in extra scamcharges plus the change fee.
I really wanted to get on a 747-8 or A380 FRA-LAX and try the FCT, plus some nice metal. I have a feeling that first class redemption's (or first class all together) will disappear in my lifetime so I thought I had to try it at least once.
Will they cut me off in LH F? I was planning on enjoying a lot of booze.

Why didn't you ask first before your change?

I've also heard really good stories about LH F.
I'm going to keep trying until I experience it
It's definitely worth trying. The lounge experience is nice. Nice bar. They bring your drinks to you. You can order food off the menu, but the buffet is still really nice.
I still haven't had the opportunity to spend enough time in an F lounge to even order food

To OP: your post explains why this wasn't a bad move. Unless you absolutely couldn't part with the $330. Enjoy your flights!

But I mean if you have nothing better to do, and are just going to sit in your hotel on your laptop, might as well going to the lounge for several meals

Anyways, for me, based on the comments about robotic service, LH F is not something I want to try. I prefer much more friendlier sincere service, but that's just me. My experiences on CX were much the same way, and I didn't care for it. Dare I say, even between CX and AC, I preferred AC service!

I have no complaints about AC. LH F is just a notch above in every way. 8 seats, 2 FAs, great wine list, some interesting food options, lots of privacy. It's just different and a bit more special.

Please note that this thread was originally posted in the Forum Lounge thread but as that thread is for discussing general non-AC topics was moved out into its own thread.
A number of posts have been edited or deleted as personal invective so let's please try and keep to discussing the topic at hand and not the posters at hand as per FT Rules. Anyone that has concerns about a post is reminded the proper way to raise those concerns is to a forum moderator and not in the thread itself.
