What I want to film (not only photograph) is some über HONs or maximisers acting out in the FCL/T. That surely has entertainment value. And of course the Rambuster routine of trying out ringtones beside a VVIP who is talking on his phone in the quiet zone.

Reading out aloud the newspaper is usually quite effective as well.^

the guy gave me a really mean look, I gave him the "I am so sorry but I really have to do this now"-look back and then he got up and went somewhere else.
Unfortunately, as usual, karma is a b*tch and returned that little nastiness.

In AMS I got so groped by the sec guy. He did not use a wand anymore, he touched, let me rephrase that, groped and fondled me with his bare hands. Pressing hard against all parts of my body, went with his fingers to check the inside of the waist band... The inseam of both legs, starting both times between my crotch and the beginning of my leg.
That left me both confused and a bit sexually disoriented.

But at least the phone trick worked !

Other than that, this list can at least be considered a start. Keep it coming, so we can turn this into a sticky! ^
complain that the LH didn't give you a carry on flask for scotch so you can have a nip to while away the hours before customs clearance

As an LH F pax you should be allowed to set up a Top Gear style race track at the airport and race around in the shuttle vehicle for a few laps. Of couurse the vehicle will need to be a Benz Black edition or a Ferrari.

A new "real life" maximizer situation- apparently, a few passengers are taking the hangers for the clothes from F- presumably because they have the Lufthansa logo on them? No idea, but it is causing problems where there are not enough hangers on the return flights from outstations. Strangest maximizing behaviour I have heard of yet.... A lufthansa hanger??? Really?

Come on, all the people that didn't sleep well during the flight will look way better during the long business day if they wear the hangar in their coat that helps them to stand and walk straight until they finally get one with the hotel bed

I've never seen First Class hangers.* In C you have a hanger in the pocket in front of your seat which is a nuisance if you don't need to use it. But in First I thought FAs came to take your coat/jacket away and return it before landing so you don't need to touch any hangers?

However, on the A380 a garment bag or similar for clothes that each guest will be able to take home has been mentioned. Has anyone got hold of one of these? Or perhaps you can take away the bag but not the hanger?

* unless you go to the closet and help yourself to one.

I was recently in F on D-AIMA.
While exploring the F-Cabin after boarding, the FA told me (without even asking or looking at it), that I could take the garment bag with me if I want (btw. nothing special, just "Lufthansa First Class" written on it).
In the cabinet in front of or behind the seats there're also 2 LH-branded hangers, robust and of good quality. I doubt they're there to be taken home.

Do you mean you are expected to hang your jacket yourself?

It looks like you have to be a maximiser on the A380 to take away LH-branded hangers. I wonder how long before they start appearing on eBay?
