Review of Lufthansa CityLine flight Brussels → Frankfurt in Business

the why of this routing

I had been made aware of a special promotion with Lufthansa that happens usually once a year, but not always and not from all airports : the "Fly with me" offer.

If you buy one ticket in business, the second one is free of charge.
As I go every year to Jordan with my mother, this was the perfect occasion to go twice for the price of one trip :)

For this promotion, the airport of departure was only BRU. The price to AMM from BRU was at 750€, meaning 375€ per person. Super good deal.

I added flights with SN from BSL to BRU and since they were re-opening the line after Covid, there was a special business class offer for 180€ per person. Bringing the ticket to Jordan to 555€  per person in Business.

Later on SN decided to cancel the flights, and we were rebooked through FRA, not bad, it meant more miles :) The only downside was an overnight in BRU on the way to Jordan, paid with my Marriott Rewards.

Before leaving the hotel, a few pictures from the room, the view was pretty nice:

The Sheraton has an almost direct access to the departures:

All went quick here since we had priority access:

And the cabin that I do like, I know lots of french contributors that do not like it.

And take off:

Without surprise, the catering is exactly the same as the day before, since we were on an inbound flight yesterday, and again today, I wasn't expecting anything else:

A chocolate to end the meal:

And soon enough we arrived at FRA:

We parked close to those 77F:

They replaced the good old MD11's :
