Hello amigos, welcome to this FR, it is the 4th and final installment of my MAD-FRA-HEL and back trip with Lufty.
Previous FRs are available here:
And without much ado…let's get it on!
Our HEL ride left us at Pier A+, our next flight to MAD would leave from the regular A gates….so we would have to pass through the LH lounge in any case
Last view of our previous ride and a possible future FRist?
This central plaza is probably the architectural highlight at FRA T1, an otherwise bland building
Quick visit to the LH lounge
I was still full from all the food from my previous flight and I expected more food enroute to MAD, but I wanted to taste the meatballs.
They were worth it
Enroute to our A321, we were face to face with this lovely A343…I wish I could get another chance to ride one.
And here's my ride, already sporting the new livery
We were the first to board, and were warmly greeted by the crew. This was to be another great flight it seemed…
Regular NEK seats, as usual in Europe (so lame)
Being in the bulkead, legroom was optimal. BTW, the extending trays idea is brilliant. I love those little thoughful touches Lufty does sometimes…
Meanwhile, these guys were having a well deserved rest…
Our flight was packed to the gills…but we made it out in time.
The day slowly died as we gained altitude, providing us with lovely views
During ascent I had a view of the BASF factory complex in Ludwigshafen….amazing
In some time our meals were served. It was a good close to the food galore I had that afternoon.
The cabin kept us refreshed and throughout the flight.The mrs didn't want to eat, but the lovely FA kept asking her if she could do anything for her nonetheless, she was genuinely concerned about her not eating. Lovely service.
The flight passed by as Europe lit up and we could see the population density of the Blue Banana.
After our trays were cleaned it was a rather uneventful flight until we landed
We docked at Terminal 3 and had a rather long walk to baggage claim. Our bags took some time to come out
With our bags picked, we went out to pick our ride to our flat, and so the Lufty adventure came to an end.
I'm impressed by how much service can change between Economy and Business class in European carriers. It's a whole different game, and that is a shame. Of course there has to be a differenciated product and service; but it only shows that Lufthansa cannot do better in economy because they don't want to, not because they can't.
Overall, this return trip was lovely, I only wished seats and IFE could improve, otherwise these would be perfect flights.
FRA and the LH lounge were good for what I needed them. Not amazing though. Efficent and "enough".
MAD, T3 is the better part of the T123 complex, whilst bags took their time it wasn't as horrible as in T4. Can't really complain about MAD.
Thanks for reading, saludos!
