well
anyway,
i couldnt care about this less, as my homeairport is not germany
.
if LH offers the Leberkaese in the FTL lounge i will be happy to go to there as the only reason to enter the SEN Lounge is that i am a Leberkaese addict.
dp
p.s LH should get real business class domestic and european seats for their business class pax.
get rid of the RIP off C seats.

90mins
yes, sure you can sit 90mins in business in eco seats.
well now they have new seats.
and most people need flexible tickets, but they could change the seats to a nice seat for more comfort.
because the flight is short doesnt mean you deserve something better than a Y seat.

As I prefer to fly on a profitable and reliable airline (and not on some Phuket Airlines or even worse UA) I accept that the carrier knows how to make business and keep its fleet in a good shape. And I fancy if more of my fare is spend for safety and less on comfort on my typical 40 to 60 minutes hops,

Europe, even I get an empty middle seat.
That is if I do not end up on one of those Geneva-convention-disrespecting
filthy, old aircraft.
The LH crews and systems only bar me from non-guaranteed benefits

but in my eyes on the most important routes there is always a better option than UA.

You are so right. Only reason for me to fly from DTW to FRA (with stop in IAD)with UA was the E+ seat. Now my money will go to other airlines...

I just had an interesting conversation with a friend at LH.
He had dinner with a couple of directors at UA and they told him that the E+ seating benefit would be reinstated soon for *G/*S pax.
To be honest though, he did not quite believe it and told me: "Let's wait and see, what really happens?". I guess he knows UA ...
If so, we might have to reconsider letting UA Golds back into the SEN lounge ...

They are very convenient for a short hop and the free middle seat offers me the personal space I like most. Free middle seat however was introduced long before and was a good decision to upgrade shorthaul business class.
