Review of Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to London in Economy

MY FIRST FLIGHT TO LONDON

Hello all,
Today a very old archive flight as I am publishing my first flight to London with two other friends back in 2007, and in fact the trip that made me want to go and live the London life!

This report is to share with you my memories and what aviation looked like back in these days, but obviously I don't have as many pictures as I wish I'd be able to share with you.. 

We had a very much "student" budget, AF was way too expensive for us, and we found randomly on Lufthansa and British Airways websites that the price was ok. I think skyscanner wasn't around, we looked at expedia and liligo or something like this.


Of course I was nowhere near to be aware of the miles program at the time, but for info here is roughly how much Miles & More you'd get for this trip.

484 miles
250 miles statut 

I remember this flight felt really like an adventure, I was having cash, traveller cheques, I event went to the UK consulate in Lyon to double check everything LOL

Our next flight was leaving from gate B31, we just had time for a quick hot dog (remember the student budget)! and also because none of us were particularly good at speaking german nor french!
