Welcome to my latest trip report, covering a recent trip to Boston in January/February 2015. My flights were quite cheap, €422 for DUB-ZRH-BOS with LX, returning a few weeks later routing BOS-FRA-DUB with LH. This report covers the BOS-FRA leg of the return journey!
I'll keep things quite brief, and let the pictures do the talking!

It was my first time to see the AN124. Is it a regular visitor to BOS?

Then I came across this beauty!

My home airline, Aer Lingus!

So many private jets!

There had been very heavy snows in the weeks preceding this flight. Temperatures outside were still sub-zero!

Takeoff over a wintry Boston was a spectacular sight! Video is linked here:

I had pre-ordered a vegetarian lacto-ovo meal. Both the pasta and salad were delicious, but I didn't touch the Tillamook cheese!

Had to include my obligatory shot of us flying over Ireland!

'Breakfast' was rather a disappointment. The fruit salad wasn't very fresh-tasting and the granola bar and muffin were of course loaded with sugar. I would have loved a ham and cheese croissant and a coffee instead!

Heavy landing at Frankfurt!

Conclusion

Due to forecasted strong tailwinds, we had to delay departure from BOS in order to ensure that we'd arrive into FRA after the night time curfew had lifted. The main meal was excellent. I had opted for a Vegetarian Lacto-Ovo meal and it all tasted great! The snack before landing could have been a bit better though! The Y seats on the 744 are very comfortable and the free alcohol was of course a delight ! Since it was winter time it was unfortunately still dark when I arrived, however it was nice to get views of a company 747-8i when we parked on stand.

Since I had a 5 hour layover, I decided to head into the city centre to meet up for morning coffee with a friend who's living in Frankfurt. :)

Thanks for this FR.

Special meals do helps receiving something better than the usual meals LH serves.

The breakfast is miles ahead of what US offers...

Nice flight report on Lufthansa! I haven't flown them in a while, but I enjoyed a few flights with them back in the early 2000's. The food looks pretty nice for Economy, and that Warsteiner beer is making me thirsty!

Thanks for sharing.
