Lufthansa has announced a new First Class amenity kit that will begin to appear on long haul flights in mid-April. They also announced a limited edition kit coming to Business Class for May and June.
The First Class kit, made by ESCADA will replace the different variations of kits that passengers find onboard currently.
A nice feature of the new kit is that the case is designed to be used as tablet cover once it has served its purpose as an Amenity Kit.
Beginning in May and running for a VERY SHORT TIME there will also be a new Business Class Amenity Kit that will celebrate Germany’s World Cup Team. That kit will only be available for Long Haul flights departing Germany in May and June.
Here is a photo showing the new First Class kit:

Lufthansa and Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) have scheduled a meeting for this coming Thursday. The meeting is not an official negotiation session. However, both sides will use the time to create a framework for future negotiations.
After the crippling 3 day strike last week, I suspect emotions are running a bit high on both sides so hopefully they’ll use tomorrow’s meeting constructively and reboot their efforts.
If things go well tomorrow perhaps we’ll be fortunate enough to see the threat of strikes disappear. If not, it will be back to square one and the threat of more strikes.
If your plans involve Easter Weekend travel, you have little to worry about as the Union has said all along that they will not strike during the Holiday.
Here is an interesting piece from the Guardian that sums up the attitude of both sides. Including the public’s and even Lufthansa’s own employees frustration with all of this.
