Lufthansa Munich to Newark Business: Basically Basic

Lufthansa Munich Newark Business Class Flight Review is part of the Punxsutawney TPOL Trip Report.


I booked a flight from Munich to Newark using precisely 62,760 Lifemiles in business on Lufthansa. The last time I flew Lufthansa long-haul was my inaugural business class flight on points in 2012 (see Angle Flat Lufthansa: My First Points Flight Review). Back then I was blown away by ice cream on a plane. Fast forward to 2021, those tricks do not impress me. And neither did this basic flight from Munich to Newark. a sign with an airport name and an airport name

Seating

There’s plenty of space in the business-class cabin, especially when sitting by the window. a seat in an airplane a window on an airplane a tv on the side of a plane

Upright/Lie-Flat

Whether upright or lie-flat, I was comfortable.

Champagne 

While it will not make the list for best airline champagne (see Get Ready to Takeoff: The World’s Best Champagne), in the midst of Covid nonsense, it was nice to see that it was served. two glasses of wine on a tray

Amenities Kit

It was also nice to see an amenities kit with a mask as the featured item. a group of toothpaste and toothbrush on a tray

Food

I was impressed by the selection of food. I traded my original order with Ms. TPOL.

Dessert

I take it back. I am still impressed with ice cream on a plane.

Overall 

This flight was boring. The question is why it was boring. Have I taken too many business class flights that I require a silent disco to come away impressed (see Emirates A380 Silent Disco!)? Perhaps, Germans do things so well that I take the regimented routine for granted. Or, as I have said before, business class simply can’t compare to first (see Cathay A350 HKG-BKK: I Miss First Already). What I do know is that I found the experience to be basic. Maybe that’s a good thing. I have no idea.

  1. This seat is so subpar.
    I had the chance to fly Swiss 777 business class or Lufthansa 748. I end up choosing the 748 to fly in the upper deck, but I’m kinda regretting my decision tbh

  2. Iā€™m not sure the millions of people that died, and or are still are ill, would classify Covid as nonsense. Just saying
