Routing


at the airport


Our taxi dropped us off in front of the terminal:

The LH counters are almost empty while the AF counters aren't:

The FIDS:

Priority Access:

A last look at the landside part of the terminal:

And I made my way through the fast track:

Super fast and efficient. Nothing more to say about.
After it there are duty free shops:

Heading to the lounge:

The flight to MUC:

VIP Lounge


The lounge entrance:

After a nice welcome, here we are inside:

The lounge is pretty full:

Dreamliner UX:

Our Airbus arrives:

There is no self service, only the hot drinks are available freely.

Some packaged sandwiches and dairy products are available also.

the flight


Shortly before boarding, it's time to meet my neo but before another UX Dreamliner:

Boarding this way:

And it started more or less on time:


photo img_4008_resultat

Instant porte, in French :)


photo img_4009_resultatphoto img_4010_resultat

I like this pannel where the crew can draw a message for the passengers, sadly this message was from the day before and on my last flight I haven't seen it that much used.


photo img_4011_resultat

We were warmly welcomed and I was pleased to see that this neo was equipped with the very latest LH seats that not only look much better than the NEK but is also far more comfortable:

The recline:

Also far better from the NEK:

Safety card:

Vade retro :)

The pitch is almost the same as with the old seats:

Air France A321:

If I had to choose, I would rather fly on a cargo flight with Prime Air than with Ryanair :)


photo img_4024_resultat

Another very very long taxi …

Again, the BA A380:

And another Dreamliner UX:

Terminal 4:

Line up and take off:


photo img_4030_resultatphoto img_4031_resultatphoto img_4032_resultat

Climbing:


photo img_4033_resultat

USB plugs:


photo img_4034_resultat

But no WiFi :(


photo img_4035_resultat

The middle tray:


photo img_4036_resultat

I had an orange juice and water to start with:


photo img_4037_resultat

Then comes the menu:


photo img_4038_resultatphoto img_4039_resultatphoto img_4040_resultat

I took the vegetarian option -must say that I had no other choice anyway they ran out of meat after two rows-. But not a big deal since I barely eat pork


photo img_4043_resultat

And without the lids:


photo img_4045_resultat

The starter and the entree:


photo img_4046_resultat

The entree was a delight, so was the dessert. But the beef cheek terrine was … not to my taste, that's the least I can say. :)


photo img_4047_resultat

Fresh Apples were offered after the coffee service, this time I declined. The flight was really smooth:


photo img_4048_resultatphoto img_4049_resultatphoto img_4050_resultat

I felt asleep and woke up just on time for landing:

Very nice weather indeed :)

Conclusion

The cabin is really nice, far better from the old seats.
But a brand new plan with USB plugs and no WiFi ...
The meal was good, if you don't speak about the starter :)

MAD and FRA did their job, so did the lounge.

Next and last part to be online soon :)

    Nice to see a report on the new LH cabins!

    The cabin is really nice, far better from the old seats.

    That's great to hear. Visually, they seem more comfortable and better padded--while at the same time being thinner with more room, which is interesting. Just a better design than the old NEK seats

    Though I fly through MAD regularly, I'm only ever at T4/T4S, nice to see a report on another terminal...not nearly as pretty as T4, but the aena lounge looks to have awesome views! And the lighting in MAD is always nice when it's sunny...which is most of the time.

    I took the vegetarian option -must say that I had no other choice anyway they ran out of meat after two rows-.

    A vegetarian option with beef? Am I misunderstanding something, because that's meat lol

    Thanks for sharing!
