At least LH has now introduced F pax and HON parking at DUS !
(if the LH marketing lingo is true, you will soon see my car parked in front of the SEN lounge ! )

And with the new terrahertz scanner technology, you might even be able to bring your car airside ... as long as there are no nailclippers anywhere on board or more than 100ml of gasoline per tank present...

Personally I very much enjoyed my one and only LH F experience this Dec-Jan , even if LH did "misplace the bag" and forget to wait for me to go on the FC bus to the IFL :P
So, I would love to know how to do it again for 1000 euro

Don't forget that SEN lounges are also considered First Class Lounges.

Dont forget to tell the FAs and the other pax (in particular those with revenue tickets) about the 1000 Euro US deal. This will certainly help you to get plenty of new friends.

Since I dont know what the 1000 Euro US deal is I wont :P. Seriously, why would anyone share that kind of information with fellow passengers that were not FT'ers. I truly don't understand this forum I guess. When there was the 1400USD deal to AKL in C that many of us upgraded to F I don't recall us regular UA flyers getting all upset about it. I greatly enjoyed my LH F experience ( which was not on whatever deal you are talking about) and would love to do it again. I surely did not "maximise" the experience ( on the way over my 55 minute connection did not even allow a peak at the lounge), but I much prefer F to Y . LH F was comfortable, the soft product was great, the FA's was nice, but IMO, UA's current hard product is better. They just don't happen to fly to India .

"Meantime, First Class service at Frankfurt Airport has been augmented by two new lounges. Aside from Frankfurt, Lufthansa First-Class lounges are in place in Munich and Dusseldorf, London, New York and many other destinations, worldwide."
Hasn't anyone told LH there's no SEN lounge at LHR any more?
Really? I'm gutted.

I actually know a kid (of a flyertalker) who is currently 13 and he told me, that he likes domestic coach on CO better than First because of the food
His parents of course
and happily accept EUAs and leave him behind without any guilt

Kids at this age like:
1. Junk food
2. Girls (OK, not only at this age)

The satire is great, but I think it's even more entertaining to see the passive anger (only sometimes passive) in some of the posts about the US Air deal.
It's entertaining because collecting 500 miles from a geo-restricted promo by using a fake address is not frowned upon like that. Probably since 500 miles won't get you in LH F.
