Funny! I don't think I would even recognize my own state senators or representatives, let alone the president of a central European country! The last-minute boarding and the body guards with the ear pieces made it clear it was some VIP. The gentleman's title came out while mingling in the first class cabin late in the flight. Then I googled slovenia president while in MUC to find his name and see his picture to confirm who he was.

I like it better than the upstairs 2x2 747 arrangement. My favorite is the 747 nose section F like SQ, BA and others have, but F is F, so no complaining from me in any case!

Terrorists apparently don't travel in F.

Now, this might be off topic here... but how did you manage to do this? Fly to ZRH from both, Munich and Vienna in the same day???

But you still did fly twice into ZRH the same day, first from MUC (morning) and later from VIE (evening)?
