Good day everyone, I’m back to tell you about my recent routing I just completed two days ago.
It comprises 17 flights in 3 weeks (I'm MAD, that’s my favorite ICAO code).

I decided to switch back to English since the previous routing, as I always try to do alternatively 1 routing in English and 1 in French. I hope my french mates will have the opportunity to read it as well!

Now, the story lying behind this routing is fairly simple. I’ve always being attracted to South Africa, this is truly a country that fascinates me.
This commercial aired by the South African tourism board probably made an impact on me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv1MU_Nh8ck
For both political and energetical (http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21637396-rolling-power-cuts-are-fraying-tempers-unplugged) reasons, I decided to rather go in South America in 2016.

General intro (skip if you are not interested but I explain how I booked the routing)

Here is what happened :

Booking


For those not familiar with LH booking interface, I decided to include some pictures of the different process I've been through, just so you have an idea, but I won't give further comments on that because it is of low interest on this FR.

You will notice that upgrade was available for this trip. Let's do a bit of math : 199€ + 79€ * 4 flights = 515€/pax. But an original Business ticket costs… 388€ with LH. Conclusion : no thanks ! Futhermore, I don't really see any advantage of flying J for such short trips with no long connection to enjoy the lounges.

As quoted, the seat choice is free and you can change seat assignments as much as you want (which I did as seats upfront started to be available)

Flight Report


At 4:50 AM, we left our home in Paris with a private chauffeur service known as “CINQS” (which stands for "Five star") (this is a subsidiary of the reknown "Chabé Limousines" luxury service which some of you, I'm sure, know about).
When it is that early, it is possible to go to CDG in 35 minutes from the Southern districts of Paris and it is what happened this day.

Our ride this morning was a Mercedes V Class in lounge configuration for just the two of us, very comfortable !

As it was our first time at Terminal 1, I had the orientation LH gives on their website (which is a bit contradictory but indicates Hall 4 and 5) and I had also in mind the map of Terminal 1 provided by Paris Airport's website.

We got there at 5:30 AM. With our flight leaving at 6:30, we had little time to kill this morning. Bags had indeed to be dropped off by 5:50 AM, according to LH rules.

We went directly to the LH counters which were a bit far from where we were dropped off.

As we have no status on *A, it was thus a small queue that awaited us perhaps not surprisingly this early, which was quickly processed by the ground personnel.

Security passed in a whistle and we were in the famous "tube" to go upstairs

We walked for quite a long time through the terminal to reach Gate number 61 where our brand new Airbus A320-214 registered D-AIUT was waiting for us.



Boarding was called perfectly on time but as we had no priority at all, we just stayed seated until most of the queue cleared.

Warm welcome on board from the FA and the Captain via the PA.

Soon enough, we were pushing back from our stand for an eastbound departure on Runway 09R.

While still pushing back, the FA announced that no snacks could be loaded in CDG for the flight, meaning there would only be a beverages service.

After the climb out, the beverages service was announced once more.

The First Officer introduced himself saying he had the pleasure to fly us to MUC, a standard sentence every FO at LH seem to say according to what I heard on all the flights I took with them. It is a nice word to passengers nonetheless.

It was processed quickly, helped by the fact we were… on the first row of the Economy cabin!

Because I had my MacBook already opened on my tray table, I quicky drank the glass of water happily provided by the crew.

The safety card was here and in a good shape, as the rest of the cabin.

Two magazines were provided, a lifestyle magazine called "Lufthansa magazin" and a magazine called "The Catalogue" from LH Worldshop. As with many airlines, the lifestyle magazine was quite enjoyable to read.

…and the "air sickness" bag, to call it lightly :
photo img_5712
The seats are very light but nonetheless quite comfy for a short flight, helped by the great pitch and the fact that they recline nicely.

There was also plenty of stowage space under the seats in front of us as the cushion is really thin

The tray table large enough to support a MacBook Pro 13"

As usual, the life vest was located under the seat.

The view, however, was obstructed by the Business class curtain :

But in the end, it gives a feel of privacy.

On the left hand side however, I could enjoy some real blue skies

All in all, Recaro really did a nice job providing airline lightness and passengers space with these seats.

The approach came soon

I even had the opportunity to do some air2air shots while parallel landing with another LH A320, as good as shots can be through the glass distortion

The landing smoothly took place on Runway 26R. We exited it by the (I think) A10 high speed taxiway.

SAA brought to MUC its newest A333 with new config and we parked next to it ! Gorgeous !


…we arrived at the newest part of MUC airport, the G concourse, only to transit to SOF 1.5hr later on.

A well thought useful screen is placed at each gate, giving arriving pax information about their transit gate if it has changed during the previous flight :

Conclusion

Nice first flight for me with Lufthansa Y class. Great pitch and reclining seat are definitely highlights for short haul Economy.

The crew performed very well and was here at each and every step of the journey.

Good lifestyle magazine.

Unfortunately, LH looses points for its lack of catering on that morning.

But all things considered, it is a nice beggining for LH in my opinion.

Paris CDG Terminal 1 is not very practical for drop off with its round architecture that proved to be very unadequate for later decided extensions.
But on a very early morning, there is not a lot of trouble to get around.

MUC is perfectly thought, clean and modern looking. It shines everywhere and everything is well indicated.
