Lufthansa A380 First Class to Denver
Lufthansa A380 First Class Munich to Denver
We arrived back at the airport a little over 2 hours before our 11:15am departure. Very nice First Class check-in, once you navigate the crowds and finally get there. And excellent private security. But things fell apart for me when my passport was rejected at the e-gates. Since there was no priority passport control and no Lufthansa First Class assistance, I had to queue for 15 minutes to clear passport while Mrs. SFO777 relaxed in the lounge.
At T-60, we headed out for the long, long, long walk to the end of the terminal. Walk was even longer since two of the moving walkways weren't working.
Another Lufthansa gong show boarding today as we're a gate without an upper deck jetbridge. So down an escalator (which also was working) then up the stairs the upper day. All of which means that 80+ Business Class passengers schlepped their way thru the First Class cabin back to Business.
But things improved once boarding was complete and we waited out a minor mechanical.
Champagne and my new Oktoberfest duck.
Once finally in the air, showtime!
Whoa, shockingly good and extravagant for Lufthansa.
Wowza.
Since only three schnitzels were loaded, they were gone by the time I had a chance to order. The tenderloin was excellent.
Trying to get some sleep.
And 90 minutes from Denver, a schnitzel! Apparently, Mrs. SFO777 has ordered it for later. And then decided that she didn't want it.
At DIA, waiting for 1L to open.
Amazingly, our checked bag was the first one off.
What a wonderful 10 days in Italy. Thanks for following along.
