I guess I was overdue for an airline review and I recently had the opportunity to fly and rate Lufthansa this week – it was exciting to try since it has been more than 10 years since I last flew long distance on Lufthansa to or through Germany.

The start with the good: Lufthansa has the fastest and most efficient boarding even with a two aisle large jet. Phenomenal.

It was nice to get a little snack as soon as you sit versus waiting an hour to board and take off. A bag of nuts, but I must admit they actually tasted quite good with some champagne.

The bad: the seats are still the worst and least comfortable since I was in the military. I felt like I was sitting on a metal ejection seat with a 5mm seat cushion. You need the pillow to actually survive sitting for 10 hours.

Continuing with the bad… The entertainment system had the worst experience to actually browse options. Click OK click OK click OK with the basic controller…

And the headset? Do I need to say any more?

OK – the food. The appetizer and bread were quite tasty and fresh.

The main entree of beef something…it was SO dry, I had to drink water with every bite to actually chew the meat and swallow it.

On the way back from Frankfurt, it was a little better with the warm veggie stew…but the pretzel was almost stale.

I will share a loung review shortly, but if you would like to compare this flight with all my other Airline reviews, just check out this page and I think you may be surprised by some of the results: Airline Reviews | David Cross Travel Blog
