There was no App at the time - at least not that I remember so I checked in the old fashion way on LH website and printed my BP in the office (too late I no longer work there you can't tell my boss XD).

This was the sweet time when you could select your seats for free before checkin and we did so to sit next to each other.
For information, here is the seat map of an 200 seats an the A321 on lufthansa:

AT FRANKFURT - FLUGHAFEN FRANKFURT AM MAIN
I left you from my previous flight at the main hall connecting the piers A B and C.

We had plenty of time for a well deserved beer - just to embrace the local culture.
And a pastry that is also a weapon depending if you are an USA president!

Also some time for some spotting

The FIDS were displaying that our departure gate was at the B pier.

Boarding started with the priorities - I remember wondering to myself how are these people doing?
onboard the a320
The famous door instant! and with such a perfect lined up queue.

Ready to push back


A quick taxi from the B gates to the runway, and running into the Queen of the sky.


and take off!

As you can see it is truely a nice july weather!

And a nice and sweet turn to the left hand side

And the seat bealt sign was turned off

Some details of the seat. Really like this logo, I hope DLH never changes it!

Most of the journey was very cloudy..

And the service started… It feels like it was last century where there was no Buy on Board, but a comprehensive meal. Actually it was just 7 years ago…!


There was no IFE but a lot of Papers under in the seat in front of us.

Including the magazine. Not the thickest I have ever read but did the job.

And a word of the boss…not leadership, LH boss!

I remember this article, that triggered my next holidays to Palma de Mallorca.. I was very influenced ahah

The mileage calculator…

And a focus on the A343… I miss this plane.

the flight was super boring, we were reviewing some of the stuffs we wanted to visit there.

somewhere near Russia

at saint petersburg - Pulkovo airport
Landing happened at night and under a heavy smog

KLM in front of the junction between the new and old terminal.

Going through passport control was quite an experience… the lady wasn't speaking a word of English so I had to guess what she wanted..

Thanks Chris for sharing this oldie.
Yes, once upon a time, LH was serving hotmeals on longer routes. But this is now ... history :(
Sad to see the constant downgrade
Thanks for your comments!
