Lufthansa, anyone?
Ok --- prive not being a point of the conversation----LH is STILL a
horrid experience foe Europe flights compared to the others. I think the point has been missed.

Hard to believe I know -- but has been my experience in 2 out of three checks. true but it makes sense, since you pay a LH-security surcharge on each leg on flights with LH number, while if booked as UA, you don't. It depends on the type of ticket. For consolidator tickets (netts) we take off the YQ tax (security surcharge) for both Lufthansa and Emirates. AFAIK the YQ tax on Lufthansa is around 17.60GBP - not a huge amount. Hilary |

Personally I think they are better than most. And if they want to stick an extra couple of thousand miles in my account I'll say even nicer things about them :-) |

They are efficient, excellent safety record, their service levels are average to good, in a German way of course, which can sometimes be very amusing! --==++AJC++==-- |

Good for you ---happy that you have not had the same kind of luck that
I have had with them. I would take their miles and probably use them eventually---but doubt if I would say anything nice about them unless the service etc. had improved.

Well there surely IS something wrong with LH---in MY experience.
I am glad that you have experienced otherwise. I would not wish the experiences I have had with them on anyone! J On Fri, 16 Apr 2004 11:29:15 +0200, AJC wrote: Yep, there is nothing wrong with LH.

Lufthansa, anyone?
I just bought a ticket to fly from Washington-Dulles to Frankfurt. It
was the second cheapest behind contiental by $100, but I think $100 is worth a direct flight than a stop-over in Newark *shudder* Sure other airlines have in seat video, games,.. but I dontneed all that plus you need extra equipment to plug your laptop into the ports now.. Lufthansa still gives the booze away as other charge $3-$4 a drink.. I will report soon how my trip was on Lufthansa.. so far the people on the phone have been friendly! "Robert" wrote in message ... Ref.: http://www.miles-and-more.com/LHeCMS...html#earnmiles The German carrier Lufthansa has decided that it will modify its mileage accrual system starting in October (however, the new Terms & Conditions give Lufthansa the right to do so as of now). The new system will discriminate its customers according to the booking class. Those customers who purchase a restricted coach ticket will only be credited with 50% of the actual miles flown. Sounds fair for an airline that offers an average service at a high price? Personally, I don't believe it seems reasonable to accrue less miles than are actually flown just because of the price category. This brings me to my question: How do you think Lufthansa stands in comparison to other airlines that offer frequent-flyer programs? Has Lufthansa got any comparative advantage left, now that even its mileage system has changed? What airline do you think offers the best frequent-flyer program? Hoping to hear some comments.. Robert |

When did you not need extra equipment to plug a laptop in? |

I recently checked prices on LH and discovered the rates were
substantially higher than other good airlines...my thoughts, why bother with Lufthansa at all. |
