First Time on the Upper Deck

Flew from Chicago to Germany to celebrate a family vacation. Very nice flight with little turbulence. I actually slept a full 4 hours.

Date: 8/3/2025
Flight: LH431 ORD-FRA
Scheduled: 1600
Actual: 1635
Arrival: 0730 (+1)

Appetizers in the Polaris Club

Bruschetta

A Polaris Star cocktail. Was super sweet, if you dont like sweet stuff, be wary of it.

The line of restrooms in the Club

83K on the Boeing 747-8s upper deck

Bag of nuts & a welcome drink

I went with the stir-fried shrimp & scallop

Wine selection





Pulling out the tray

The amuse-bouche

Beef tataki for the appetizer. Anyone know what that gelatin stuff is? My sister was asking me.

C-class bathroom on the upper deck.

My shrimp & scallops

They gave me ALL the dessert! Fresh fruits, bread pudding & cheeses.

Watched Terry Gilliams masterpiece 12 Monkeys so I got to see Bruce Willis butt a lot.

The cabin upon leaving

Our plane which brought us to Germany so dutifully!
