Apart from that - what a joke with the new Gratien Rose champagne - always on the lists and never on board - 3 rd try since the introduction with the July winelist - and still noweher to be seen - but the purser will always tell that it is well received - makes me wonder by who - or do they splash that out when meeting with the unions as the later seem to have redish shades as their favourite colour....

I've got 2 F flights in early August. I was hoping for something Olympic themed. I take it my hopes will be dashed?
btw, I've never heard of Rimowa. Somehow I don't think these will be collector items in our house. Perhaps it's time for another San Diego FT dinner so I can clear the cupboard.

Why Olympic themed? LH isn't an official sponsor so would be prohibited from doing anything that could be linked with the Olympics. As for the brand and design, this is the core design element in LH's inflight decor. Haven't you noticed the pseudo-ribbed metal-look? A derivative from the old Junkers airliners LH first flew when it was launched. It also sells a line of full sized luggage and cases from Rinowa.

For the records, the luggage company is called RIMOWA.

Therefore, LH is allowed to use logos and organise activities as part of their partnership with the German National Olympic Committee.

.I mean the amenity kit ... I feel empowered and human again.
It's really quite divine. Now I know why he 'wastes' upgrades on that short TLV-FRA hop

Wow. Just checked ebay germany for the rimowa kits (search was "rimowa first class"). There are quite a few now - and prices for the ones sold are in the 70 - 80 euro range. Insane. I am considering offering mine on the coupon connection.....

Or compensates a bit for the LH "surcharges".
