The most fun I have being on a LH longhaul flight?

The moment you get the menu but you have not actually opened it.

Followed by the moment where I move the seat into an inhuman position
while making it look like it was done on purpose.

What's your favourite LH longhaul moment (light hearted comments preferred)?

Aircraft at the gate, doors open and flight attendant saying Auf Wiedersehen.

When they finally turn on the IFE! And then of course I really love it when they turn it off one hour before landing...

Oh and I always enjoy the battle between the cold blooded and warm blooded people concerning the room temperature...

4. when I land safely

The PJs are not in plastic

For me it depends very much in the COS I am seating.

If it is in Eco, clearly when exiting the plane at my destination.

If it is in F, when taxing to take off. Even nicer if I have been op-uped.

plastic?

Shhhhh that enhancement has not been announced yet.......

Or are you a blanket stealer?

In the COS on LH where you get a PJ, the flight attendant will usually remove the film around the blanket before they hand it to you (unless you get it out of the drawer yourself.... My favorite moment without fail is when I step of the plane, no mater which airline or COS. Actually, thinking about it again, it is after I cleared immigration (and when I fly TG F to BKK when I sit in the cart that takes me to the fast track immigration.....).

When you hear the announcement "Boarding is completed" and the seat next to you is free. Even in F it's nice a to have an empty seat across the aisle.

Clearly, my favorite moment - regardless of COS - is getting of the plane again. COS influences only how much I dislike or enjoy the time in-between.

And before getting on the flight, the moment when the FA or check-in staff says that I've been op-upped, or that my mileage upgrade went through, or that sure, they've got an upgrade for a very special price still available. ;-)

In eco, there's no real favorite moment, short of the seats right and left being free in exit row. And when they take the horrible food away again.

Still - regardless of COS, when they serve the first salty pretzels, I get my cola alongside it, have switched on the music and opened my book - I really like the sparkling on my tongue over the clouds, the low pressure really works.

And when falling asleep soundly and waking up just before landing.

Yeah, that's gotta be #1 regardless of airline and what language they say good-bye in.

I actually enjoyed my last flight on LH, but then the plane was 2/3 empty so it would be hard not to be happy.

Even better of course is when you get on board, following your solo chauffeur-driven ride from the FCT, and the purser says "you can sit anywhere, there's nobody else in F today" (...it's only happened to me the once, mind you)

Definitely the moment when I cross the threshold back on to solid ground. Even when I've been opped-up and the flight has been enjoyable, flying is at best a necessary evil.

After that, the next best moment is when the shower comes on in the Welcome Lounge in FRA... and I start to feel human again.

I like it most after the second glass of bubbly when the aircraft is above the clouds and it feels as if all the work stress and other stuff have left behind neatly below them.
