Still a good product and I would take a glass of M Red, but LH will have to invest a bit more in maintenance, if they want to fly the cabin for much longer.

No doubt about that.

Decisions will have to be made by LH, and hopefully the right ones this time around. The have to dig themselves out of a hole they are in due to bad decisions in the past. The birds were not supposed to fly again, ever, so cabins weren't exactly kept in mint condition. And now that they are back, LH seems to be overwhelmed by maintenance on many reactivated planes, introduction of Allegris, finding and installing alternatives on planes where Allegris doesn't fit ...

Advice needed
I plan to book a flight from OSL to DPS through FRA in first class
FRA to SIN will be first and the other 2 legs in J
first 2 flights LH last flight Singapore airlines
the ticket will be issued by LH in F
so I was planning to get a 6 hours layover in FRA and go out have a meeting at the airport hotel and then proceed to FCT
will that work or I will be meet in Frankfurt and they will guide me to a first class lounge in the transit area?

No one will hinder you from walking out to the airport hotel.

There's some pretty good LH F fares out of OSL currently. Echoing oliver2002 - just tell them you don't need any assistance and go on your merry way, then after you are done, head to the FCT or FCL.

OSL flights can be remote gates. In such a case you'll be met at the plane and driven to the exit in a separate car/van.

You can even take a cab to the FCT, but the cabby may not be extremely happy.

That’s great advice to cause a small international incident during a 6h layover 😂
