Just flew FRA-CPT. Food out of FRA not outstanding, but the seat in Premium class is by far the best C class seat around. Nice comfy duvet, excellent amenity kit. On the CPT-FRA I changed the date and had to accept a downgrade to Y class - got to say was equally well looked after in economy. AVOD, two hot meals each with a choice of main, plenty of drinks, a small amenity kit... A very good airline altogether. The only downside is the schedule on the CPT-FRA flight: a 12-hour daylight flight feels just too long to bear.

Flying this exact seem route in a few days, is the Bilbao lounge still unstocked with food for this early morning flight? What about the VAT office, is it open at that early hour?

I flew FRA-CPT-LHR in Jan/Feb and I must tell you that these were two of the best flights I've ever had in my life. Absolutely awesome lie-flat product. Great service. Great wine. Great food. It was well....great!
