Talking swiss way

as I wrote once in the swiss part, they also gave me a present once and the FAs gave me a card with the best wishes - on the last leg of four that day.
If you do not expect it, it is really nice.

Last October I flew LH C and my TA also set a nice notice in my booking, but I didn´t get anything. Maybe LH has introduced a new enhancement ?

Flying FRA-SIN several days ago in F, a solo passenger across the aisle in row 81 had a birthday.

FAs came over just after midnight FRA time, as it became this gentleman's birthday. Gave him a whole sleuth of roses and congratulated him in unison. Was a very nice gesture.

Except... that mrs. gleff and I never received our roses that flight. So I suspect that our roses became his birthday roses!

Wow, capitol, pretty impressive, proactive move by LH.

Per OP, I would approach purser pre-takeoff with presents for the birthday person. If additional presents arrive
beyond my own, kudos to LH.

The point is: he should receive the gift from a crew member, and in some way it should be related to the flight. I've been searching through Lufthansa website but no results yet.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

its possible to buy birthday presents in advance for friends in the airplane may it be a cake or some champagne or such stuff ...... uhm yeah well simple call us we make that (or not depending on the knowledge of the agent.....)


besides that uhm i dunno but if the birthdate is mentioned somewhere or such i can imagine some card or stuff will be possible but no guarantee on that one the only thing what i know to make it really happen is the purchased gifts in advance.....

if you want such and have problems to book it lemme know.... ill fix that then

Why would you do that? You know exactly what will happen, so no surprise and I can think of better ways of making yourself a nice gift. I bet for what LH charges you, you can buy half of the Cafe Sacher in Vienna.

During a flight from FRA to DXB in C my collegue (his birthday) received from the Purser the F amenities (slippers, shirt, and toiletry bag) and before leaving the aircraft in DXB a bottle of champagne.
