.LA did more delicious things to us such as providing us with the most vile and arrogant GA in aviation's history: upon a very tight connection, we made it to our gate which displayed "last call". The GA looked at out docs and moaned "there is three of you, all need seats?". I smiled that we had seats.
To which he responded "not anymore that takes too long" and switched the gate display to "closed". The plane sat there for another 15 mins, he refused to rebook us, and finally called security to get us out.
That made me feel more at home with the rude SEN wardens, I had to admit.

That's the spirit ^. I am sure the Wolf was there and learned how to transform his airline away from Weber's standards .

Do I have any reason to do so?
Yes and the taxis driver decided on a pretty strange route

HAM-OSL r/t for 69E all in
Definitely not worth an extra post in the MR forum but still nice.
I just found HAM-OSL-HAM on LH Cityline metal for 69E in available on various dates, i.e. April 25-26, June 13-14, June 20-21, November 21-22 as weekend trips. More midweek dates available as well.
Books into E, 14 Euro base, ~45E taxes, 10-14E service charge.

Can someone tell me how acurate seatcounter.com is?
I'm looking for a flight FDH-FRA-DEN in late August. For the last week or so, seatcounter shows V9 for both segments on Aug. 30th, but on lh.com I'm only offered H, if I try FRA-DEN it only offers me Q. For the next day (Aug. 31st) V is available on lh.com, so it can't be a problem with the fare rules. Does anybody know where "the dog lies buried"?

Good morning everyone,
Sitting in LH963 MUC-FRA at the gate here in Muc.
We boarded somewhat on time but now we've to wait at least 30 mins until the runways is cleaned. Unexpected sniw ;-)
Boarding was somewhat strange. Nine ladies at the 2 gates....and a bunch of passengers in front of them.
But no info on the delay until "boarding is completed". Hm.
Hope the delay is less that 1 hour. Need to connect to LH491 FRA-SEA at 11:15.

Update:
Runways are open but there's a queue. Another 35mins delay.
And captain informed us that 967 and 965 are already cancelled and we're the only flight to FRA today morning.
