LX DEP - HON & F: escort from AC lounge to aircraft door, choice whether timed for preboarding or last boarding. Also offered escort to the lounge, but declined as I know the airport well (I doubt the agent could have skipped the VIP security queue).

Special F/HON Services at different airports
I've just experienced the new service for HON Circle members in DXB:
Nice young ladies in yellow uniforms are waiting for you directely at the arrival gate and are guiding you (incl. caddy) via fast tracks to the exit. Very friendly and quick.
Same procedure when departing vom DXB. Personal escort, caddies and choice of lounges.
Are there similar experiences from other int'l. airports?

At JFK they also had a personal assistant. No real fasttrack, though, as you had to queue with everybody else at immigrations. But they helped with the luggage and everything.
Same would have been available when departing.
For the transfer from A to B or v.v. at FRA they told me a service would be available from March. I dread the tunnel....

At BKK they also had an assitant plus someone for the cabin luggage.
Immigration is fast track - but this is also standard for F pax - was however suprised to get the treatment upon arrival from MUC in C - they will come with you to your limousine / taxi outside the terminal. Simply wonderful !

arrival NRT and BKK: personal assistance helped through immigration and assisted during/after baggage delivery.
departure HKG: personal escort through immigration. I was a bit late but I think I would also have managed 2 go 2 the gates alone and be there on time. Anyway, I appreciated the help (maybe LH wanted 2 ensure that I go directly 2 the gate and don't stop 4 shopping ...).

Arrival in VIE:
PA walked with me (and gave me a hand with my luggage) to the departure gate of my next connection flight.
Arrival KUL:
PA walked with me (and gave me a hand with my luggage) to the Skytrain and made the ride to the next terminal where he went with me through Immigration (with fast track!).

Special HON Services at different airports
After having enjoyed the personal assistant in DXB two weeks ago (which saves a lot of time if you arrive there at night) I was wondering if LH/LX have similar services at other airports. I'm flying to SVO next week and at this airport it would be most appreciated. :-(
Any ideas, I couldn't find anything on the HON pages

My experience:
TLV - personal escort on arrival and departure, access to first class lounge
LHR - NEW FROM 1ST SEPTEMBER - on departure escort to security and fasttrack through security (amazing)
YVR - personal escort on arrival and departure, luggage unloaded immediately, out within 5 mins including luggage!
JFK - personal escort
CLT - personal escort and security fastrack
probably some others I forgot
All other (inc most Europe outside of FRA/MUC/VIE/ZRH/GVA) - not much.

Well my experiences so far (HON for a couple months) involve escort on departure in LAX, ZRH, JNB but no departure service in LHR, SVO or GVA.
No arrival service ANYWHERE so far. This includes at least 5 arrivals on both LH and LX in Moscow (SVO and DME) so it can't just be a one-off.

Can confirm VIE. Arrived in C from MUC last Saturday after flying SFO-MUC in F, and was told the car pickup on tarmac is for HONs only and not F pax. Got on the bus and after coming to the luggage belt I saw the 2 HONs waiting there for their suitcases (it took another 15-20 minutes for the belt to start rolling), so no fasttrack for HONs in VIE definitely.
