Last leg of my return trip Stuttgart to Helsinki with Lufthansa.
This one will be mostly a lounge report as anything else over night is of little interest.

After a perfectly on time HEL-MUC flight I head directly to the only Schengen SEN lounge open at MUC at this time of the year - might have changed in between.
I want to have dinner as my last meal was for breakfast (a huuuuuge one though^^).
As you can see there is choice: 6 different warn dishes. No high sophisticated meal but a simple well executed offer.
Cold custs
Desserts
Well I recommend though to stay on beer and to avoid any local Sekt, unless you want to remove the limescale in your sink^^.
After a very good dinner It's time to take a walk to my gate. Even in MUC many passengers are queuing for a rebooking. Good look to them to get one, and after that to get any compensation. LH is not Ryanair but their customer service sucks as well.
Boarding on time. I love any aircraft with rear engines and the CRJ is no exception to that.
Bye bye MUC.
Fuselage shot (yes a real side cut view!!!)
My seat. Pitch is okay and fully sufficient for these short flights. The seat at the aisle will remain empty on tonight service.

Last chance to see the day light.
Esslingen close to Stuttgart.
We park next to another entity of the LH group: Eurowings that is market leader in Stuttgart.
Thank you for following me on these 4 flights to a city that I wanted to see for many years. Glad to have done it. For sure they are better catches in Europe but Helsinki remains pleasant for a week end.
Thanks again for sharing this final sector with us!
10g of chocolate does not suffice as lunch? With Franziskaner on tap and good hot options, the LH lounges to have decent catering, they just do not have well designed seating areas and MUC lounges are blind.
Surprised to see so many ENs at gates. I have only had paxbus experience with them.
With the empty seat next to you, you essentially got a J flight ;) The CRJs are fine, but with the miniature overhead bins they inconvenient when traveling with hand luggage that needs to be gate checked into the stowage, so have some disadvantages over the smaller E-Jets (170/175).
