Seven in one Swope
 

Hi everybody,

perhaps only the German native speakers will know "Grimm's Märchen Sieben auf einen Streich"...

Had an experience today which reminded me of the fairy tale: On the flight DUS - MUC today there were seven Hons which became obvious when we all entered the limo bus for the transfer to the terminal.

At least for me this was the flight with the highest number of Hons among the pax!


Astonished me really....

Talenti

Really amazing... That must have been an earth shattering experience!
But I also have to add that on my last flight from MUC to JFK there were also 5 HONs onboard!

LH definitely needs to introduce HON+ shortly ...
:D :D :D

Not earth shattering at all!!!

But really wouldn't have expected that on a flight inside Germany which left DUS in the afternoon...

Yeah. Incidents like this clearly demonstrate how diluted that status already is. I hope everybody asked for compensation? :D

So the requirements at the moment are 600k in two calendar years!
But what would HON+ require?
1.000.000 miles in one year (calendar year of course)? :confused:

Regarding Super-HON, I'd opt for 1 Mio. BIS miles in the month of February (1.1 Mio. in leap years). However, only miles accrued in full-fare F on LH metal in seats 83A or 2A should count for status. Also, flights serving cold nuts won't be eligible for mileage accrual. Last but not least, pax who are organized enough to book and travel a minimum of 6 transatlantic Z fares ex Germany (60 days advance booking) per calendar year will be presented with honorary lifetime Super-HON status. They'll also gain access to an exclusive, ultra-cheap Z fare (ZSHOT).

Why don't I think that you are exaggerating a little bit? It's probably because of LH's M&M policy and the steadily changing terms and conditions for everything!

But what about the service for the HON+ members? I mean the service standard is already pretty high, i.e. it is getting difficult for LH still to improve the service... Probably they will imitate Emirates and there is also a car service which is picking you up in the city and bringing you to the airport!
And....

I don't know.

Me neither! But I think it's because of LH!

well seams that HONs have the power to delegate... and then to take the afternoon flights... :cool:

I wouldn't envy them, as it still means they had to work during the morning. Poor souls.

You may envy me, anytime.

Envy... ;) :p

Ahh... that feels good... Once again, please? :cool:

HON+ will have to take a minimum of two flights per week in LH Private Jets.

HON++ will simply buy all LH shares and abolish the FFP thus cancelling all benefits, especially for NUT related pax. :)

Ha! I'm OK with that. I'll sell mine at a premium.

DELTA from now on !
 

Then you will have to fly DELTA to LAX via ATL !
The advantage being, you don't need to worry about upgrades to F, as they don't have an F cabin... ;) (I'm not too sure if they even have a C cabin, even though they sell one)

You wish! But no, after selling my LH stock, I'll get myself get a NetJets card.

More envy. Please? :D

100k for 25 flight hours ? Why not get two ?


Was kostet die Welt ? Ich nehme ZWEI !

Still waiting for the double hours promo. :D

I simply think zey should be shot on the spot.... permanentely. :eek:

Cheers

Thomas

How do you zhoot somebody temporarily? :confused:

I think 200k BIS in Y per year should get HON as well. They earned it the hard way. - Sitting really hurts sometimes... :D

Totally disagree. :)

HON is not about LH accomodating your masochistic urges.
HON is about you making a habit of overpaying LH for a seat in F.

It's not your butt that should hurt.
It's your wallet. Or that of the company that owns you and your time.

you're probably right, but I still wouldn't mind becoming HON as compensation for the pain and bad food ;)

Neither would I. But only if it's free. I would not consider flying that much or spending the amount money necessary to meet the requirements. Bad overall value, but a nice perk for those who HAVE to fly (as in NO CHOICE).

Of course, if LH invited me to HON for free, I would have to reconsider accepting. I mean, a club that would invite ME must be seriously flawed. ;)

Sorry for disappointing you but I think your chances are not that good becoming HON with these arguments.
But why not writing a letter to the Wolf? Please let me know instantly when an answer! Maybe your chances for an answer are not too bad since you are a SEN...

Nobody would mind accepting when LH is offering you the HON status for free! But this is pointless since it won't happen...
Flysurfer is right this kind of club must be flawed.
Sorry but I can't really understand the people who only flying just to get a status. There are so many other possibilities how to spend your time.

Not too sure if it's worth it. Because arguing because I prefer to fly cheap in order to spend my money on things that have a better value imho might not help. But pointing out that most of my travel is out of my own pocket and that I'm so young and had such a bad time at school and ... you get the idea. But still, I doubt it would work out. But in case I'll give it a shot, I'll certainly let you know.

ROFL!

Making girls laugh is said to work, maybe I should give it a try with the Wolf then. :cool:

I am almost crying! I am feeling so sorry for you Thomas_B... But being honest this would make the letter much better and would face the Wolf or whoever he is reading the letter with hard arguments!

He'll laugh... at you! :cool:

Laugh at me while giving me my card himself - nice deal. ;)

So you really ARE a masochist.

Envy... I'm going to charge for it... :D

Do you take miles?

Sure... or your mojo :D

Oh. You found it?

Back to OP: I don't they were all HONs. It could have been F pax transiting to a intercont flight starting in MUC. Since the weather is so unpredictable, they might have flown in a little earlier?
