Great work, guys! Never having flown LH F, I did not know it was so much fun (but admittedly, I had a faint idea already reading some of the previous "LH F is inferior because ..." threads). You all made my day!

1.Start a thread on how to disconnect and take the headphones in LH F.
2.Ensure another FTer has the seat after you and claims compensation for having no headphones.
3.Post a thread on FT "I can't believe how bad LH F is, they don't even have headphones and made me use a C pair...what compensation is reasonable"

The maximization goes further. I once observed a gentlemen imbibe so heavily in the FCT, that the PAs were unable to rouse him for the departure of his flight. Perhaps he was testing the scotch, but I wasn't paying close enough attention.

In order to maximize my FCT experience I asked the PA to have the construction cranes removed while I was there in order to get a better view of the A gates.
I have requested to ride the crew bus from just across the street in order to be the first in the F cabin and remove all the headsets.

- insist on getting the bathroom with the tub and ask your PA for a rental laptop and whether they have adult entertainment dvds as you are planning a relaxing bathing session.
- at the fcl b spa ask since the TG F Spa in BKK is free, if at least for the 80E sessions a happy ending is included

US Air is really cheating LH - what we are doing is just amateur stuff !!
Make sure to insist on a Happy End massage ! It is standard procedure in BKK ...

Under pressure by the *A board recently, SQ officials thumbed their noses at the FFP directors and said that miles have become devalued lately and carriers are not willing to pay more for premium awards.
Could LH be next?

What a great thread. ^^ Thanks Rambuster for initiation and all the others for adding more food to it. ^^
From my reading I would just miss:
- Complain loudly in the FCT, that the duty free store has no Remy Louis XIII "2007 special edition" and no Mouton-Rothschild 1945 on stock
- Ask for a serving of salmon and after the first bite spit it out and insist, that only the "Nikolay cut" Balik salmon is eatable

- Complain that your BP got wet in the shower
(At the NRT NH F lounge they keep your BP at the reception while you take a shower so it doesn't get wet)
