If this would be a flight to BOM I would say there are some filmstars flying home. Lets see. Been away too long from India to recognise any of them though.

I've seen families of 4 in the F cabin plenty of times. It doesn't take 3-4 days. It just takes a few minutes to knock out 4 seats. I've also seen two couple together in F several times. Looking like swingers to me! Or maybe they were just happy to be rich.

Your speculations please.
My speculation is Yes.

Hey, I'm in row two, so if they keep the mile high experience quiet in the lav they can do whatever they want. I'm just concerned about the short flight time (7h20m), if the others decide to party I'm going to loose precious sleep. (Spoken like a true FTer, I know)

No, I wouldn't worry- explain to the FA you don't want to be disturbed (i.e. Eat), put on your eyeshades and insert the earplugs, wake up 15 minutes prior to landing- it will be fine. Most likely it is probably a group of excecutive "partiers" travelling to a meeting anyway- so they might be asleep or working before you. Of course, as an FTer you already know this anyway.

Hmm.. Two semi famous indian industrialists (father and son) and a few western business men, probably upgrades. No maximisers, most of them are already in PJs on the ground

Not really... A colleague was flying to DXB so we couldn't get into the FCL, the SEN H lounge was full, so we had a coffee in the C lounge. then I was nearly last to board, so no PJs (only after take off, but then only two sizes larger ). The 10yr star Chef menu didn't appeal, so after a 'quick' dreamers delight that took nearly T+2h to complete I got only two 1/2 hours of sleep because we had tailwinds. Maximising will be done tuesday (10hr flight from ccu, flying fra-zrh-muc as there is no availability on the direct due to the oktoberfest

Sounds like a minor disaster for a would-be maximiser.

I'll miss you by 24 hours in the ZRH FCL. No free internet anywhere in the airport according to the lounge reception.

The ZRH FCL has Internet vouchers which can be used in the entire airport in the Sunrise network. (1h validity, so ask for several)
Anyway, even without this the 24h charge is quite low. Iirc 4,90 CHF?

I asked in the FCL and this is what I was told. Yes, I noticed the 24 hr charge was quite low but I only had less than 30 mins and was too mean to pay for it.

Very strange- they always give the vouchers if you ask for them (2X last week no problems at all).

However- and here starts the famous debate once again (hopefully not)- I have seen HON+ on the manifest- which begs the question is there also a HON-? I asked the Purser what HON+ meant and she told me she had no idea...
