yeah, I know that (sometimes) they have the next day's edition onboard.
However, this was about the way this guy demanded the next day's edition when the FA came round with the magazine and newspaper trolley.

Well I think they FAX it from the ground to the airplane- but only if you are a US Dividend Miles General Member- nothing for HON's- that may be why the guy was upset?

You mean yesterday, today was tomorrow, correct? Or was it the day after tomorrow?

If you end up in the real thing it is a great C product. I managed twice to plant myself into one. But then, I also managed to experience a last femtosecond equipment change and a surrogate stool which rivals an LH coach product 
.
In which parallel universe? I am not particularly fond of SQ and Chagis Khan airport but they have by far the best premium award inventory of all *A carriers. Whenever I book a C award to the US, more than half of all segments are always on SQ. And I am not picky.
Ever since you guys reanimated the "indecent service in Y on TG" thread, I am haunted by the suspicion that "F service" doesn't stand for First anymore
. In this thread at least it stands for freeloader.

Then travel back home across the atlantic in LH Y, in a middle seat in the back that does not recline in a old 747-400. When you close your eyes LH F will be a dream ;-). (You may wear your F Tshirt while travelling).

Just downloaded the PDF version of the Condé Nast Traveler article featuring Star MegaDo 1 and found the following which I think should be added to this thread:

Oh dear! This article might increase potential maximisers.
Quack! Why is the Lufthansa rubber ducky the golden fleece for frequent fliers?
I left Marty making preparations to take a bath in the lounge's full-size bathtub. It turned out that Rolando Veloso, the Argentinian air warrior with 800,000 Continental miles, had designs on the tub as well. There was a trophy to be claimed for coming here, and only one flier would have it: a rubber ducky, across the front of which read clearly: LUFTHANSA FIRST-CLASS TERMINAL. In Airworld, the Lufthansa rubber ducky is the golden fleece
