Heavy drinkers on LH938 FRA MAN
Thanks to those who drank the bar dry on the outbound flight, I was denied the modest pleasure of a beer with my cheese sandwich on the inbound.

Shame on you



(well, that was the excuse offered by cabin crew)

I tried the bubbly on TXL-MUC recently and it was undrinkable. Didn’t expect anything fancy, but that stuff was outright terrible.

So the Ferrari is off again... a pity! It may have returned to the Sekt.

It was Sekt "Schloss something" and very sweet.

We were just two people in the exit row and had a long delay on a snowy evening. The young lady on the other side of the aisle asked for bubbly and the FA offered to leave the bottle there, so I requested a cup to try the stuff. Revolting.

What, really??? You mean they couldn't restock the bar while in Frankfurt? I presume you mean by outbound MAN-FRA. For LH, the outbound would be FRA-MAN.

Yes that’s disgusting. The Ferrari is great and was on over Christmas. It comes back from time to time according to chris63.

Puzzled.,,, I wrote what I meant, or meant what I wrote: my mind unclouded by alcohol

I was on the flight inbound from Manchester to Frankfurt. We had no beer because (according to cabin crew) it had been guzzled by passengers on the outbound FRA MAN service.

I don't see how this is the fault of any passengers? Surely it is Lufthansa's job to ensure they have adequate stock on board for both flights? I am sure if they really wanted to they could have restocked in MAN.

Yes, LH responsibility but they don’t/ won’t load any beverages at MAN, I have been on flights FRA- MAN where they forgot to load the Spirits served in J, the Crew were not looking forward to the return flight MAN-FRA

I’ve heard passengers on EK flights from MAN consume more alcohol than passengers on any other flights in the EK network. So how did those passengers end up flying back from FRA?
