So the ones on the sides are “normal” size and the ones in the center are smaller?

I don’t remember seeing smaller than normal ones but maybe it’s because whenever the attendant tells me that all they have are the black ducks I just decline them.

As a rule of thumb, in recent years FRA has had the larger ducks whereas MUC has had the smaller ones, with some exceptions.

In terms of the black ones, FRA had the large for the last few years and MUC the small ducks. In that sense this is therefore a new FRA duck as the MUC version was labeled as such.

Actually all of them are same size. My friend took the picture, I did not bother to ask because I do have a black ducks and therefore presumed that two are smaller.

Ok clear. Nothing new then. And with current loads the supply of black ducks is likely to last another while. But maybe the Easter duck - when it comes - will last until the summer

Unless they order less, based on the travel downturn, and then for the easter, demand will go up... and they will be gone in hours.

Here comes a ducky that you most likely won't see in any F lounge...

Good to see these back although it would have been nice to have a new design. I guess LH has bigger problem these days...

They must have had to choose between these and the Easter ducks they already had in stock....

No funds available for a face masked duck - which I completely understand
