Thanks for sharing that! We had the same champagne ORD-FRA on Sep 18, but not the Special Edition Amenity Kit. I'll report back on Sep 27 which should see it on my flight home.

Oktoberfest was scheduled to begin a day later, September 19th. Could be that LH started to give them on exact day and you should receive them on your return flight. I did not asked if all LH F routes are covered with that kit.

I doubt that LH is buying any new F kits in the present circumstances & much reduced F routes, only offering what’s already in their inventory, that Oktoberfest kit has been around for a few years.

As I kept it closed, I hope that cosmetics inside are not a few years old and exp date was in the past.

The toothpaste is right at expiry (09/2020), and the small mint / Fisherman's Friend had a 2019 expiry date.

As I suspected, they are using up old stock, not very 5*

For clarification, wifi was not functional because of the technical reasons not because voucher code. I was wondering that if wifi is not functioning why to provide the vouchers at all. For useing in the future with expire date in the past like Fisherman's Friend

I can confirm I received the same WiFi vouchers with old expiry date on LH431 On September 14 and the code did work.

Service was absolutely impeccable, have already chosen LH First for my next 2 trips this year.

How are the interiors? Not worn out? In good shape?

I'm looking to book tickets to MEX for end of year or early next year and I think LH F is my only option aside from BA F...

Edit: Looks like AF P is also available :-)

Aaah - I thought you meant the purser said the expiration date of the Fisherman's was a typo

Read this trip report for a head to head comparison... I suppose BA F is not really there (yet)?
