Airline : LH- Lufthansa
Flight : LH 778
Class : Business Class
Itinerary : Frankfurt (FRA) - Singapore (SIN)
Aircraft : A380
Check In - Transit :
I was coming from a Swiss flight LX1076, I check in already in ZURICH :
The flight was so short less than 40 minutes, I did not have time to do a flight report between the champagne glasses.
But too make a short summary : the Senator lounge in Zurich was a bit mediocre with not even a proper hot dish to eat, and as I keep saying : No champagne in the lounge.
The flight was short (40min) but manage to have a meal with a dessert, and champagne Duval Leroy was offered.
Lufthansa Senator Lounge - FRA - Z Gates:
The lounge was pretty full with a lot of Asian departure :
Food and drink choice :
Also the LH Senator lounge doesn't serve champagne only German sparkling wine.
I think they should improve the offer by offering at least champagne and premium liquor: very low quality drinks (Alcohol)
only Gordon Gin and Smirnoff Vodka
Sandwich station was available :
The rest of the food offering was alright much better than Zurich lounge. Choice of 2 hot dish and some deserts.
The resting area of the lounge :
Boarding :
Walking to the gate : I am quite a big fan of the A380 and find the aircraft so big and massive I took some picture :
the boarding is done with 3 bridges :
time to board :
Boarding was fast but the queue was so long : even for Business and first class :
Getting on the upper deck
My seat 18 G :
Some amenities kit offered (Sponsored by Bree) :
Sleepers :
A380 Security Card :
Welcome drinks : Choice between water and white wine, no champagne offer : quite disappointing for a major carrier from their home base :
Seat pitch : alright for the length but very narrow for the feet :
Time for pushback : I like the 3 cameras live :
Menu were distributed :
Starter :
- Beef,
- Salmon
- Salad
I choose the Salmon
Main :
- Cod
- Beef
- Pork belly
I choose the Cod
Wine list : the champagne and wine selection is pretty basic : not the top of range let say :
Drinks were offered after Take off : I had finally a real champagne :
Starter : the taste and quantity was alright
Main : a bit overcooked and no veggies offered on the side.
Dessert : was not very nice , taste was not very good and way too sweet.
Mid- flight snack :
went to the Galley around mid - flight and nothing was offered except glass of water or orange juice.
I was expecting at least some snack for a 12h flight.
Breakfast before landing :
I skipped as I was not very hungry.

Hello, Canadair2001, and thank you for this FR.
I must say that although FRA's lighting on the A380 as highlights the exterior of the aircraft nicely. The interior of LH's A380 although admittedly sub-par compared to its rivals from outside of Europe, is arguably the best when compared to that of other European A380 operators (AF/BA) - well, safe for the room for your feet when lying flat, but even Singapore Airlines has that problem.
Presentation of the food looks like they're not even trying, if I'm honest. At least the butter looks nice, and it seems that the taste of the meals served made up for what the presentation lacked.
How was the LH flight crew?
Thanks again, and happy flying!
Thanks Razza,
LH business class doesn't try to get the little spark, you want to remember, unfortunately.
the crew was alright, very dedicated, not much smiley or chatty, but typically LH. Professional with no flavour.
Thanks for your report. I've heard and seen mixed things about Lufthansa's Business Class product. It's almost like they put all their focus into their First Class product which looks incredible, but not as much attention is paid to Business.
Nice to get on an A380 though! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 757Fan,
the gap between business and first, I feel is much bigger than the gap between business and premium economy.
LH business class doesn't have the little plus you will remember and comeback for, unlike other carriers.
Thks for the report. I hope you enjoy this trip in a "grouper" (that's the nickname of the a380, it has been given by the french members of the site)
thanks for the feedback
Sincere thanks for the comments and pictures regarding your experience FRA to SIN. I completely agree that LH business has an opportunity to wow their business class customers and with the competition such as Singapore and Emirates one would think they would try a bit harder? Again...Danke!
thanks
