Did not have something to hang up but the FA's on this flight were very courteous and tried to take care of everything. And at least I saw that they distributed jackets shortly before landing, so I assume that they helped the other 6 Pax hanging up.

They usually are on flights to/from NRT especially in First - sometimes excessively attentive.

There was a suit garment bag, I did not see if the bag or hanger had a logo on it, (nor did I care)
This was enough to keep me maximized while on board:

It had an LH logo so I "borrowed" it from the FCL

So cute! But what happened to the duckies? I have only seen the 'original' yellow duckies in Frankfurt but no special editions and MUC has only very tiny duckies now... Any Christmas duckies back on duty?

Should we warn fellow travelers which lounges not to use in order to avoid any non-ability to maximize? ;-)

The Christmas Duckie arrived in late November, I was at the FCL B and they gave one to a little kid, the PA said these aren't available until tomorrow.
So on my next flight (this past weekend) I ordered a special meal in F


*Maximizers should be aware that there are impostor plain duckies are sometimes still being handed out at the lounges by the staff even during this time when the Christmas ones are around.

In other words, special meals are another way of maximizing ;-)

Can they possibly provide hot towels that aren't overly scented with something that smells like cheap cologne? How about just a plain hot towel without any scent at all?

Start complaining why F class passengers HAVE to pass through security!

I can confirm this, but want to stress I did have a good reason to take the bag and hanger!
I flew JNB-FRA on a Friday night and was in a suit. Got changed into pyjamas and slept until the seat belt sign had come on, so no time to change back. I did ask if it was ok to take, and was told "of course"
Then had a shower in the FCL and partially changed back (pyjama top was good enough to wear in the day!)
I hadn't thought of ebaying it, until now! Any estimates on what it'll fetch?

Haha, that's what I was surprised to see on my recent BOS-MUC flight, most pax woke up when the seatbelt sign was turned on and of course a lot of them went to change.

I could not imagine on LX F with one restroom between 8 pax, since each takes more than 5 min.
