In keeping with tradition of acknowledging special events, LUFTHANSA’s First Class Services team in Frankfurt has unveiled a limited edition duck commemorating the Summer Olympic Games in Rio.
The Duck will be available to passengers who qualify to visit the First Class Lounges or First Class Terminal in Frankfurt beginning on August 5. These passengers of course include HON Circle members and passengers with a First Class flight either on Lufthansa or if connecting from Frankfurt to a SWISS First Class flight out of Zurich.
The ducks will be available as long as supplies last…..So change your travel plans if you need to! 🙂

Another headline caught my attention today while things were quiet from the LH Front.
According to a DailyMail UK piece including video evidence, a Canadian business traveller stumbled across a safe in his hotel room that has a default passcode that can be entered to override any combination and open the safe. The traveller suggested that the hotel staff told him the default code is 000000 when he called the front desk to ask them to reset his safe after he had forgotten his code. The article goes on to explain other ways to bypass hotel safes as well. None are difficult to master.
I’m not sure if this is a big problem and one that extends to a variety of safes in hotel rooms around the world. But if it is possible in a hotel room somewhere in Ontario, then it may be likely to be possible anywhere.
So the next time your in a hotel, try it out. See if the passcode default is nothing but 0’s, thus rendering the protection of your valuables fairly worthless.
