As I already said, when I'm paying a lot of money for a F ticket (or even a C ticket) I want to experience regular service in F or C. I definitely don't want Oktoberfest feeling with roaring plastered people swaying the Macarena dance.

Having said all that, there's certainly bigger fish to fry ...

Will fly via FRA eclusively untill Oct. 3. Problem solved
Now, wait a minute: Is the the new anti-discrimination law applicable in this case? As a proud inhabitant of the Free and Hansatic City of Hamburg I'm obviously discriminated against because there are no FA's flying in our traditional costumes. No servings of superb Northern German beer, no servings of Finkenwerder Scholle etc...
But then again, just listening to a Hamburg based crew after arrival when the typical "Welcome to hamburg" speech is amended by "the most beautiful city of Germany" makes up for the bavarian costume carnival... ^

Even most of the food on the planes and in the lounges had a soccer theme! I barely can't imagine your suffering. Sleepless days and nights not only over Greenland!

No intercontinental ships in MUC, so leave them their Oktoberfest.

The chocolate stuff was only nice for the eyes, if any. The taste and quality was really poor.
Honestly I didn't take care that much of the repainted nose overGreenland and could still sleep very well.
Oh, and I still didn't see any FA wearing a white no. 13 trikot.

For example, I have met Thomas_D several times this summer, but I still don't have a clue how he looks NOT wearing a soccer kit.
