Route: London Heathrow to Frankfurt Main 

Departure date and time of flight: 20th February 2010 at 06:20am.

Flight Number: LH4743

Flight duration: 1h 55m (Includes the 20 minute delay at Heathrow- not the airline’s fault)

Class: Economy

Aircraft type:
Airbus A321-200 

Punctuality of the flight: 


Departed half an hour late because someone accidentally switched off the underground fuel supply at Heathrow, and apparently there were only two emergency fuel trucks at a big airport such as Heathrow. So, therefore the plane landed about 20 minutes late (Captain flew fast!).

Any baggage issues: 

Yes, for some reason my luggage did not arrive on the flight! There were only 3 people with luggage on the flight, and mine was the only one that was left behind in London. It arrived on the next flight, and Lufthansa arranged it to be sent to my hotel. Although I did not, luckily, need to use it, Lufthansa gave me a Star Alliance Men’s grooming pack which contained the following:


1.       Complimentary white “Star Alliance T-Shirt” (XXL, but hey I never had to wear it!)
2.       Toothbrush
3.       Toothpaste (Colgate)
4.       Anti-Perspirant (Nivea)
5.       Schick shaving cream bottle
6.       Laundry detergent
7.       Shaving blade
8.       Cotton buds
9.       Neutrogena face wash
10.   A nice plastic bag
11.   Mouthwash
12.   Socks


Comments on the check-in staff and any issues:

My flight was one of the first ones out of Heathrow, so there was not that much hustle and bustle as one would expect at Heathrow. The staff were very polite, professional and assisting.

Comments regarding the pre-meal service:


Choice of drinks (Standard- tea, coffee, orange juice, apple juice, lemonade or Coca Cola)

Comments regarding the first meal: 

Choice of either a cheese and ham sandwich or an egg and salad sandwich. I chose the cheese and ham sandwich. On such a short flight, one cannot really ask for more!

Comments regarding the drinks service
:


A second round of drinks were offered after the sandwiches.

Comments regarding the in-flight snacks (if any):


None

Comments regarding the second meal (if any):


None

Comments on the in-flight system (if any):


None

Comments of professionalism of the cabin crew
:


Very professional and polite. This was especially true during the delay at Heathrow Airport when most of the passengers with onward connections from Frankfurt were worried about missing their connecting flights. The Lufthansa cabin crew were calm, and dealt with the issue in very professional manner- reassuring passengers of arrangements made in place by Lufthansa in case they missed their flight.

Improvements that could be made
: 

This was a great flight, and on such a short flight, it is difficult to find any faults. Everything was just fine.

Comments on the interior of the aircraft (including seat comfort): 


The A321 has a standard 3-3 configuration for Economy Class and 2-2 for Business Class. Lufthansa has a clean and fresh looking interior. The airlines colours of yellow and navy blue are portrayed on the design of the seats.

Lufthansa German Airlines livery: 

The Lufthansa livery featured on all the aircraft consists of a navy blue coloured fin with a bright yellow encircled stylized crane in the middle. The fuselage belly of the aircraft is coloured grey while the rest of the aircraft is finished in a brilliant white. The words Lufthansa appears at both sides of the front fuselage in navy blue. A smaller and navy blue version of the encircled stylized crane is also displayed just behind the cockpit windows. The engines are coloured in a light grey colour.

The trademark Lufthansa logo, an encircled stylized crane in flight, was created in 1918 by Otto Firle. It was part of the livery of the first German airline, Deutsche Luft-Reederei which was known as DLH. In 1926, Deutsche Luft Hansa adopted this symbol, and in 1954, Lufthansa expressed continuity by adopting it.

The original creator of the name Lufthansa is a certain F.A. Fischer von Puturzyn. Lufthansa was the name given to the airline, which was a direct result from the merger of Junkers' airline (Luftverkehr AG) and Deutscher Aero Lloyd.

I caught this flight last May and to my surprise it was easily the worst flight I can remember. The sandwich you mention was stale and the staff were rude on this and the return flight from Milan. Incidently I agree that one can't expect more in the way of food but if it is a sandwich it could at least be a fresh one!

    About Airline PR

    This is a special section on Airline Branding, and Airline Public Relations written by me on all the flights I have been fortunate enough to have been on. These are not records taken from somewhere else, but are actual flights I have been on. Most of the flight trips are officially sponsored by the airline companies in order to promote their certain routes, and aircraft. Airline promotion and PR related work in the aviation industry is one of my expertise. 

    This section of the website will grow in time, and will include detailed reviews of the in-flight meals, the airline seats, the comfort of the overall trip, the customer service both at the check-in-desk as well as by the Cabin Crew; and how good the assistance has been by the airline staff. All the reviews are honest, fair, firm, and non-biased.

    I am proud to have worked with some of the largest PR agencies, and some of the most powerful airline brands in the world, including but not limited to: Air Canada, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa German Airlines, Air China, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, TAP Air Portugal, Air Malta, Air France, KLM, CityJet, and many others. 

    All the flights I have taken in my life are documented on this weblog except for any flights that were taken before 2003. These included Syrian Airlines (747SP in 1985), British Airways (2003 to Dubai), Aeroflot (IL-62, and IL-86 in 1989) and a few others. I regret not documenting them because I never thought of doing that back in those days.  

    I am hoping to bring to life the joy of reviewing airlines. 

    Note Regarding Photos

    For all media reviews, special permission has been granted from the airline authorities, and even from airport authorities for the photos/videos taken on-board the aircraft and on the ramp because it is strictly forbidden to take photos and videos on and around the aircraft without permission. 

    The purpose of this blog is to provoke thought, inform, intrigue and amaze you.
