I connected through Munich last week, giving me a chance to check out the special Oktoberfest-themed menu in the Lufthansa First Class Lounge. As you walk into the lounge, you’ll notice a special stall with gingerbread hearts hanging from it. Oktoberfest started in 1810 in celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess […]
I Got “Stuck” Flying Lufthansa First Class…Again
Oh poor me, I had to fly Lufthansa First Class again. This trip, though, I really tried to branch out and try something new. But I just could not turn down the allure of flying nonstop on one of my favorite products. After Dubai, I traveled to Frankfurt via Brussels, where I hoped to try […]
A Lufthansa First Class Tradition Becomes An Emirates First Class Tradition
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but when it comes to the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, I always opt for dinner for breakfast. Now I do the same on Emirates. I’ve written before about the wonderful filet mignon that I start off each Lufthansa First Class trip with. There’s nothing like […]
Big Problems Booking Lufthansa First Class Awards With United Airlines
15 May 2019 UPDATE: United has resolved this issue. The United Airlines award search tool is currently broken when it comes to first class awards on Lufthansa. At the moment, there is not a fix for it. See below for details. Perhaps foreshadowing what is to come in the new era of MileagePlus, it appears […]
Lufthansa First Class: 2019 Vs. 2009
As I was looking though some old pictures last night, I stumbled upon a Lufthansa First Class trip I took in 2009 that was eerily similar to the one I just took. Thus, I thought a comparison post might be fun so we can see what has changed…and what hasn’t…in Lufthansa First Class over the […]
Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge & Spa – Frankfurt (B Gates)
During my last trip on Lufthansa, I skipped the First Class Terminal to check out the First Class Lounge in the B Gates of Terminal 1. While the First Class Terminal is intended for passengers originating in Frankfurt, Lufthansa offers a pair of first class lounges intended for connecting passengers. Both are in Terminal 1. […]
Magnifico: Lufthansa First Class Slippers
I must admit, I’ve fallen in love with my Lufthansa First Class slippers. We have a policy against shoes in my house. That’s not how I grew up, but my wife is adamant about it. And I’ve signed on because of of the pernicious thorns that get dragged in when you walk across our front […]
Competition For Lufthansa First Class Heats Up
If you read my blog regularly, you know that one of my favorite mileage redemptions is for Lufthansa First Class. It’s not that Lufthansa offers the best first class product in the world (though I love it). Rather, Lufthansa first class represents an excellent value when using miles and space routinely opens a day or […]
My Unusual But Effective Flight In Lufthansa First Class
I returned home from Europe on Friday and have not encountered a hint of jet lag. Flying first class certainly helped, but that alone was not enough. Sometimes I fly first class, sometimes I fly business, occasionally I’ll even fly economy class back to the USA if I am desperate enough to get home. But […]

Booking a 50K Lufthansa First Class Award with Asiana
A first class Lufthansa award ticket between North America and Europe is only 50,000 Asiana Club miles, an excellent value. But be warned, booking is not a straightforward process. Asiana Club is a Starwood Preferred Guest transfer partner, meaning that 40K Starwood points translates to 50K Asiana Club miles. That’s enough for a one-way first […]
The One Way Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich Beats Frankfurt
Earlier today I published a comprehensive review of the new Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich. But I figured one aspect of the lounge merited its own post. That’s the outdoor patio–the one thing that the Lufthansa First Class in Munich has that the nether the First Class Terminal nor any of the First Class […]
Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge Munich (MUC)
Lufthansa’s First Class Lounge in Munich has one advantage over its counterpart in Frankfurt. That’s a beautiful outdoor terrace that serves as a tranquil place to relax before your flight. Other than that, though, it is just like the First Class Terminal and Lounges in Frankfurt. And that’s a very good thing. There are two […]
New Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich is Excellent
The recently-opened Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich’s Satellite Terminal 2 is top-notch. It’s not that the design style is different than the old one. Rather, it is a testament to Lufthansa’s enduring quality as a top-tier carrier. > Read More: 5 Reasons Lufthansa is a 5-Star Airline If you are used to the First Class […]
Lufthansa First Class Never Disappoints
Lufthansa First Class never disappoints. Never. Yesterday I flew from Los Angeles to Munich, a route now served by the A380. There wasn’t really anything new and different (though Wi-Fi is now free). And that’s the point. I’ve never enjoyed a more consistent product: a consistently excellent product. Munich has no A380-trained flight attendants yet, […]

Dinner for Breakfast in Lufthansa First Class Terminal
Last week I had the chance to visit the Lufthansa First Class Terminal (FCT) on our way home from Frankfurt and enjoyed a steak for breakfast. > Read More: Lufthansa First Class Terminal Frankfurt Review Though it was only 7am, I decided to order a filet mignon for breakfast. Why not? The FCT always does steak […]
Lufthansa First Class: A380 vs. 747-8
I recently published two first class reviews from Los Angeles to Frankfurt on Lufthansa, one on an A380 and the other on a 747-8. Which aircraft is better if traveling in Lufthansa First Class? This post will will compare the two aircraft. > Read More: Lufthansa A380 First Class Los Angeles to Frankfurt Review > […]
Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge Frankfurt
We all know about the beautiful Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, but what about the First Class Lounge located within Terminal 1? How does it compare to the First Class Terminal? Arriving first class passengers whose travel terminates in Frankfurt are permitted to visit first class lounges, but not the First Class Terminal. For this […]
