I don't remember ever getting a plastic spoon as part of the tablewear.

Out of curiosity Rambuster and other frequent FRA travellers- have you noticed there are more than a few customers now using FCL A to avoid "maximizer ambience side effects"? Personally I have run into more than a few- including myself!

Was on such a domestic flight today into SFO. Just one issue, those two chicks did spend most of their time discussing the number and success of their dates, rather than serving the pax with beverages.

Actually, last night I had the most attractive Flight Attendants on LH 4471 BCN-DUS since I can think. The purser was a no-go but boy the other two
I got totally OT

As we have had a lot of threads about the LH First experience I have tried to highlight a couple of "must do's" in order to maximise the experience:
- Make sure to spend at least 6 hours at the FCT – 10 hours is better!
- Hop around lounges preferably visiting the FCL A then FCL B and finally the FCT
- Complain to the staff that no transfers via limo are available for lounge hopping
- Make sure to spend at least 6 hours at the FCT – 10 hours is better!

In the spirit of the brilliant start of the thread, I stumbled upon something fitting, watching latest Top Gear.
- When scheduled to be driven to the plane in a Porsche Panamera quote Jeremy Clarckson: "The extremely ugly Porsche Panamera Turbo isn't just hideous. It is even hideous compared to a genital wart" and demand to be driven in 4.7 litre Maseratti Quattroporte GTS or a 6 litre Aston Martin Rapide.

Also, be absolutely incensed that you are forced to SHARE a VAN with 3 other pax.
'Not only is this drab, grey, converted industrial van hideous compared to a genital wart, those I am forced to share it with are...hideous compared to a genital wart.'

I saw a new winner last week- insist to the staff to have the key to the disabled person washroom- because you need photo's of the "entire" lounge- the PA was speechless- and I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair. No, this person was not joking either!

The downside is, that I cannot provide flight-related pictures in my travel reports. But that's life.
