Review of Lufthansa CityLine flight from Mulhouse / Bâle to 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.

My father dropped us off at the airport:

It was pretty quiet:

But only one counter open for LH, an no way to have a dedicated F/J access since the counter was already the F/J counter :(

An absolute non sense for me :(

It was a good 20 minutes wait to get checked in, the agent apologized and said they were understaffed. I fully understood, not her fault, and what can you do?

Security was a breeze and we made a quick stop at the duty free before heading to the lounge:

Automated police controls that are rarely open:

Let's go to the lounge:

As usual we were warmly greated, I went to the terrace to see what was on the appron, Enter Air, Anadolu and EasyJet:

DHL A300:

There was some pasta at the buffet:

Veggies:

The cold offer:

Salads and soup:

Cookies and cake with fruits:

Hard and not so hard drinks:

FIDS:

My selection, pretty simple but usually you can't go wrong with pasta :)

the flight

We went to our gate shortly before boarding:

Our plane:

Boarding started on time with priorities first:

Hello du kleine Wurst:

The door to the aircraft:

We were warmly greeted, here the cabin:

The seat pitch and the safety card:

Eurowings from and to PMI:

Before take off water was offered:

It then started raining cats and dogs, making pictures impossible until after take off:

Climbing:

In the afternoon LH usually serves coffee and cake as a snack but you can also get all kind of drinks you like.
The cake is really good, chocolate and pears:

I really like it.
The flight is super short and the descent already started:

FRA in sight:

And landed:

We were assigned a very remote position close to T2:

Leaving the plane to the bus:

737-800 AH that boards only from the back, pretty strange:

And going to the terminal:
