Let me know how your trial with Scotch does
I wonder if we can get a medical grant for a FT trial to assess effectiveness of alcohol. Will get a pretty good sample size very quickly

There is no pro-rating of the license if you apply in October; you pay the full year regardless. They're probably being cheap and don't want to pay full cost for 2-3 months. I bet we see alcohol back at the first of the year. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

Doesnt it dawn on the intern thats in charge of lounge provision that LH competes with AF & here is a glaring comparison, one airline cares about their premium pax & FF & the other doesnt.....

Let's hope full service returns at the latest with the new calendar year.

As of a few weeks ago the Air France lounge had a bartender/attendant, however, the bartender/attendant wasn't always present so people were also serving themselves.

Anyone been through recently? Wondering if the First Class section is open and if it's worth getting to the airport early for it. Do they still let you board from the lounge?
Thanks
Thanks

Can't believe LH still hasn't addressed this. Could just go to the AF lounge I guess.
