Bad luck on the rotten flight, SFO777. And that wine list generally looks pretty substandard for 1st Class.
I'm flying LH paid biz from MUC to ORD later this month and will see how that goes. (It's so much cheaper going that way from LHR than direct on UA...— it's on a UA ticket)

Another great report so far, SFO777. I'm looking forward to seeing photos from the rest of your trip.
Sorry to hear about your flight with LH F being not as good as before. Those lights from the galley do look really bright from your photos!

I was reading your TR like "Wait a second....why do I recognize that food?!" They were serving the exact same things two years ago on my SEA-FRA flight.Judging by your thoughts and what I wrote at the time I think LH is at the bottom off the 'hill'. My remarks were: A trio of appetizers, all of which were great. Salmon tartar was brilliant. ..............but that could have been the Blue Label typing
.As always, thanks for the Trip Report!

I just flew back from LHR - ORD on BA (F). SFO777 based on your LH comments, I really hope you find an alternative to BA if your experience will be anything like what I experienced.
High(low)lights:
- CCR as detailed in many posts (power points, furniture, catering, service, spa services, toilets etc) The Samsung people walked up and gave me a nice multi adaptor - which I actually needed - so that was good.
- Catering on board
- Dine on Demand that is not (I wanted a scone - No! We serve that 1 hour prior to landing!)
- Slippers are only for night flights
- they did keep the galley curtain closed - easier to ignore everyone in the cabin that way.
etc.

You make me so reticent to book LH F!
Hopefully OS C will be good ex-LAX despite the poor business class seats. Hopefully the food/service will be better...
