Germanwings uses LH B747 between CGN and PMI

According to airliners.de, Germanwings wetleased a B747 from Lufthansa to operate a return flight between Cologne and Palma de Mallorca. Due to the strike in Spain, they had to cancel three flights recently and need to bring back a larger number of guests.

According to the article, the flight is completely full. So some lucky Germanwings customers potentially sat in C and F for their 19 Euro ticket (most tickets are of course more expensive than that!)

And there's LH trying to flog F tickets to PMI for €999 on the A380!

New F seems to be quite the rave - I'll give it a try once it's available on my usual commute! In the meantime I'll have to slum it out in old F.

You are a patient waiter :-) Either BKK gets the A380 or you might turn five years older in between

Or you could have booked a day trip to PMI.

apparently it was completely down - at least the lounge personal told me to not bother. I'll arrive back in MUC this afternoon, and because of the awesome food I had yesterday I'll have to stop at the FCL for a dinner before driving home, which mean I can check for the status.

For anyone stopping by in the MUC FCL - try the steak with carrots and dumplings - it's simply awesome!

There is an article about boarding procedures in todays FTD. Might be interesting for all those who complain about LH not having a propper and consitant boarding procedure at all.

BTW: According to the article the best procedure would be an outside-in boarding where pax with window seats board first and aisle seats last. American West used to use this procedure and they were able to reduce boarding time by 20%. Interestingly pax perferred priority boarding and with the takeover by US they replaced outside-in boarding by priority boarding again...

LH used to have this concept many moons ago (zone concept) - but they gave up as nobody followed the rules.

Most interesting about this article was the idea of having a boarding carpet where people stand on before boarding
