That’s laughable. Maybe 10 years ago, but today? How much did LH pay for this award?

Different POV: the savings made from the catering change have been "invested" in the Skytrax marketing budget.

A Qatari-sized amount.

I do like how LH looped in Munich in their announcement (although "New York"?)

no doubt. And as much as I firmly believe AF LP is way overrated, their CDG lounge is good.

Their ground services are amazing but I don’t think the CDG LP lounge is any better than the FCT, unless your priority is gorging yourself on rich French food before your flight (which serves more of the above). In fact I find it less private and more uncomfortable.

The FCT in itself with the concept and the setup is First Class … but service in Frankfurt in the FCT is lacking, sometime overcrowded (once I told them i will exit and walk back to the terminal myself to the FCL), and the catering is certainly sub-par. A lot of improvement needed actually.

When it comes to ground service (not so much related to FCL/T), arrival service is certainly inconsistent and lacking in some LHG locations - namely ZRH, GVA for example for FC/HON members.

The Skytrax F list is rather bizarre:

https://www.worldairlineawards.com/w...airlines-2025/

I suppose it reflects the state of play of which airline is paying them for 'consulting' right now. Discover and ITA also feature on the 'most improved' list 🤭 So I guess this is Skytrax way of saying: 'Hey how about you throw some money towards us again?'

There is probably a lot of truth to this.

Still puzzling that LH FRA features so prominently in the FCL and lounge catering categories, and LH MUC not even close.

These lists are a complete joke. The QR lounge at DOH has gone downhill to the point where the UA Polaris lounge is better.

Clearly you get what you pay for On every level FCL Satellite MUC beats the lounges at FRA, service, staffing levels, F & B , language skills

There are more Dragons at FRA, especially FCT but that does not add to the general ambiance

There seems to be a huge LD turnover at FRA, whereas I see a lot of familiar faces at MUC. Some/many at FRA are not very knowledgable and/or motivated either.
