Lufthansa "by Condor" service quality
I see that Lufthansa's PHL-FRA service is now listed as "operated by"
its Condor charter/holiday subsidiary. Does anyone know if I am likely to see any difference in on-board service quality or seat comfort (in economy) because of this change? Are the crews LH or Condor? Thanks very much. G.W. |

Does anyone know if I am likely to see any difference in on-board service quality or seat comfort (in economy) because of this change? Are the crews LH or Condor? Thanks very much. Don't know about the crews. I just recently flew Condor-operated LH 427/426 PHL-FRA and back. The service is about the same. One big difference from the last time I flew LH 426/427 (when it was operated by LH) was that the Condor planes have PTV's. The A340 LH used to operate on that route did not (don't know whether they A330 they later repalced the A340 with had PTVs or not). The other big difference is that the service is now on a B767. I don't know the exact dimentions of the seats but I felt more cramped this time around than last (by the way, they no longer have a first class section). One thing noticeable is that the seats have a whimsical pattern on them now (as opposed to LH's business-like scheme). They display drawings of the sun, a crescent moon, and stars and have "sun", "moon", and "stars" written in script. I guess this is a left over from their Condor holiday service (though I've heard that these planes are actually elased from Lauda - were they leased to Condor?). Condor, by the way, has whimsical liveries (the Condor plane used on LH 426/427, however, was painted in LH's "Star Alliance" white livery). |

I stand corrected, it is BOS-MUC that's being suspended for the winter, not BOS-FRA.

Lufthansa "by Condor" service quality
"Gene J. Yao" schrieb im Newsbeitrag I've heard various reasons for the Condor take-over from LH lacking enough long-haul equipment to LH wanting to try out a 2-class format (which the Condor planes are designed for) to both. I wonder if this will be permanent or whether LH will take back the routes when they get new equipment. In any event, the PTVs present on the Condor planes are a huge improvement since it is my understanding that LH openly resists installing PTVs on their own planes and the only LH planes with PTVs are the A330s they acquired from another airline (Swiss?). The first A330s of Lufthansa were acquired from Sabena. Are you sure that the LH A330s are equipped with PTV? Martin |

God I hope not. Not only do they seem to have really high loads on those flights, but from Boston, LH is the best option to anywhere in Europe except the British Isles. I was wrong. It's not BOS-FRA that's being axed for the winter, it's FRA-MUC. |
