Lufthansa Euro-fraud Business to Tel Aviv

Frankfurt FRA to Tel Aviv TLV
Lufthansa LH 686
A321-100
10:05a-3:15p 
January 5, 2018
Seats 4AC
 

At around T-25, a new grouchy, people-challenged PA came by to pick us up, take us a bizarre TLV-only second security check.  Broom Hilda then escorted downstairs to pick up our passports and then to our van. 

To the tarmac of Gate C13...

... and the elevator up to the jetbridge...

Where we were the first to board.   Seriously, you rushed us here just to wait for 150 other people??    And spend more time in the joke that is Euro Business Class?  I can deal with this crap hard product for an hour, hour and a half, but sitting on a plane and in this seat for 4 hours is just painful.

A peek into Economy which looks exactly the same... because it is!  At least LH also used 2L to board so thru traffic thru the forward cabin was minimal.

Hey, you might have to sit in a crap seat but at least we give you an amenity kit...

... filled with crap.

And there were the 2 jackasses (2C and 5C) would couldn't bear to be apart and were apparently hard of hearing since they had to shout at each other during boarding and our ATC delay.

Today's menu.

LOL on the "lean back and relax".   Sure, with all of 2" of recline.  "We have only one goal, your complete satisfaction?"  No doubt that's why you force us into spending more than 4 hours in these horrid seats. 

The good news is inflight Wifi and at a reasonable price. The bad news was that it wasn't working today.

Mrs. SFO777 wasn't hungry and just had a roll for lunch. 

On the other hand, I was hungry.

My veal...

... in peppecorn sauce was delicious.  

Excellent meal and crew on this flight despite the terrible hard product for a 4 hour flight.

Wet and windy conditions led to more ATC delays and we arrived about 30 minutes late.
