Hello from the First Class Terminal in FRA!

Hello from Malta!

It’s sunny outside and I’m tired, so I’ll keep this update short. Simply put we had an amazing Lufthansa experience. The crews were top notch, the food was exceptional, and the overall experience couldn’t have been any better. My brother visited the First Class Terminal in FRA for the first time today and was uberly [...]

We were delayed about 20 minutes from ORD thanks to a visit to the penalty box, and as soon as we took off the [...]

Off to Malta tomorrow!

As the title says, I’ll be heading to Malta tomorrow for about a week, and I’m pretty excited. I’m traveling with my brother, and we’re both on award tickets in Lufthansa First.
Since my brother lives in NY and I’m meeting up with him there, we’ll be flying EWR-FRA-MLA on LH, and I’ll be flying TPA-ORD-EWR [...]

The International Herald Tribune reports:
Frankfurt and Hamburg airports will be the hardest hit on Monday when 52,000 employees of Lufthansa AG go on strike, a [...]
