Thanks for this Hiddy. Most LH F TRs have been very positive, as the soft product has more than made up for the dated hard product. Looks like Lufty didn't tip the balance adequately here!

I had the somewhat recent pleasure of being on F on a LH flight with the cabin to myself. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. IMO, the service lapses are undoubtedly caused by a full house as you said you thought to be the case. The LH flights I have been on with a few people have been generally flawless. On those with many people, you need to tolerate a bump or two with the service and quality, but I still have been very happy with LH overall. Now if they can replace the seats.....

Great report, sounds like a good flight. I wasn't aware that Lufthansa used a 747 to EZE, interesting

Thanks for a nicely written report. Shame the service was lacking in warmth.

But I have got to ask -- What's up with the Warsteiner? Surely you could have chosen something better...it's just not on.

Excellent trip reports!! I'm glad that you are so enjoyable flying on LH again. I wasn't curious that I seen the pictures of your meals during in-flight. How is your F class products doing? Is that you are comfortable seater in the F class? Do you sleep on the plane or watched the movies, too.

Also, I seen your cats is so adorable. Is that indoors cats or outside? I wasn't sure about your cats doing and that he doesn't go outside. Because it was too extremely dangerous out there. Because it was too many wild animals will bited her. You must be more extreme cautions out there.

Great report and some lovely photos.
I was hoping to fly LH F soon but now I'm wondering if LX F might not be the better bet.

Thanks for the TR HIDDY. Excellent photos and a very well written report. The subtlety in your writing gets across the message that this F experience did not quite match up to others you have been on. Apart from the ground service, there does appear to be a lack of refinement and ultimate quality.

Have you flown on New FIRST yet? If not, I hope you do a TR when you do

Interesting report, HIDDY.

I do not like Lufthansa, especially not after my appalling ground experience with them in business class last year (but strangely with fairly good onboard service). I have always thought of their F product the other way round to their J product - good on the ground, poor in the air. Your report has confirmed that really for me.

Their F hard product is just ridiculous. Which other major alliance carrier has 2-2 seating in F? No privacy whatsoever. Why do they still use a trolley in F? What is with the horrid grey aluminium seat surround?

It sounds like their soft product onboard could do with improvement too. No PJs on a longhaul F flight? Almost laughable!

Their new F product on the A380 also does not look very private.

I am tempted to try the FCT and F limo to plane, but not while their hard product is still rubbish.

LH has full PJs on overnight flights. On daylight flights you only get the top.

Depends on the flight. I got PJs on NRT-FRA and NRT-MUC which are daytime flights.
