For HONs and F, I see that. Limo is fast.

Busses are not. Even if you are first out the door, and even especially then - you just plop down in the bus and wait for 10 minutes before all the masses of people locate their carryon and get out, and that's even before the drive.

Well, I was talking about FTLs and blue members. But they fly in ECO and likely are late out of the plane anyway.

Don't you dare talk about me like that! I know I hate bus positions exactly because I'm usually among the first ones out.

Since I became HON, I really hope every time, that it is apron position.

And if you're lucky* it's quite a nice, extended scenic drive from V270 back to T1A.

*If by luck you mean cursed.

It seems the decision of a mini F in A359 was approved by the board this week.

Wonder what tweaks they’ll make to the F seat. Probably a larger screen at the very least.

Great news, thanks!

Much more in line with previous statements that they want to keep F on a higher percentage of long-haul aircraft.

Hopefully, that’s limited to these 359s and 777s, and will not affect the 388s and 748s since on my routes F is (or almost) sold out many days before departure.

Being sold out early means that LH can easily increase the price. I think, LH wouldn't mind to do that.
