Re: #2 It is a shame!

So another one: complain to the purser that there are no hot chicks in LH F!

Being passively (or more than passively) angry does not prevent anyone from taking advantage of the disgraceful US Dividend Miles deal.

Dear all,

all the ideas to maximise the experience are great.

However, you have forgotten the most important one:

Once you have been driven to the plane and boarded the flight, tell them you are sick, cant fly today, leave the plane, get the miles re-credited, and repeat the experience every week until you know every plane, every purser, every FA, have collected every colour of the amenity kits....

And all this for 50 EUR fee!!!!

Two weeks ago NewbieRunner signed the FCT guest book.

Wow! That sounds like a real maximizing experience without leaving the comfort of one's home.

Did she say the Wiener Schnitzel tasted good or that the ducks were free range?

I'll put some "Rambuster waz 'ere" graffiti in there next week then too.

I would have thought that this thread had dried up by now, but sadly we find another kind of maximization that allegedly has been occuring in certain LH long haul F cabins, if one believes the reports from our fellow FT brethern over on the BA forum...beware, this...errr gentleman...has claimed that changing his underpants in the cabin is fully acceptable aboard LH. The read is both comical yet disgusting: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...y-stomach.html

It certainly depends on age and sex of actor and audience....

Yesterday afternoon at the MUC FCL it was maximizer day!

A few new gems:

-Not only come to the FCL early, bring your children with a large plastic tub of toys- put toys on child on the floor where the walkway is from the bar to the washrooms (main corridor)- then proceed to use mobile to call and in a very loud voice practically yell "I'm in the FIRST CLASS LOUNGE IN MUNICH- IT'S INCREDIBLE- NEED TO TRY EVERY WINE BEFORE THE FLIGHT SO WE ARRIVED SUPER EARLY".

-Complain to the PA that there is not babysitting service available (I am not joking)

-Let your children eat all the easter candy on display, then complain that it should not be left around as now your child is sick

-Complain repeatedly that you should be driven to the gate (when it is a gate position that is not bussed)

Lovely- these new ideas courtesy of yesterday afternoon around 15:00. Strangely, I had only planned (and indeed did) spend 20 minutes in the lounge.

Perhaps the LHPJ promo started early ??!

This reminds me of the family with 3 kids yesterday at the very same time on my MAD-ZRH in biz. Although the kids were yelling and running around (with shoes on on the seats...) all the time and dropped two full glasses of apple juice on the floor, they were obviously the most beloved guests by the crew.

But as a general point - is such a behaviour in the FCL acceptable? Is it the right way to inform the staff when one feels disturbed? At the left hand side of the corridor (restaurant tables), there is even written in the menu cards that phone calls are unwelcome in this area.

TRAVELSIG

The staff were at wits end.
They attempted to manage the situation.
Some customers create the problem. It is inappropriate. I would have said something, however my travelling companion said "Don't" in a way that led me to believe it was better just to leave the lounge You can win the battle but lose the war....
