The End Of Lufthansa’s First Class Duck?   Yes and No.

The End Of Lufthansa’s First Class Duck? Yes and No.

Got your attention didn’t it…..

Anyway, Lufthansa’s First Class Services has confirmed that the traditional Yellow Duck has been retired.

No longer will the yellow quacker go home with First Class Lounge and Terminal visitors as a souvenir from Frankfurt.

However, passengers will be given a sleek new silver version instead  🙂

The yellow duck is retired…..

 

The reason for the change is based on the fact that for the last 10+ years the standard duck has always been yellow and the feeling is that most of LH’s HONs have quite a collection of them.

This change applies only to Frankfurt at this time.   Munich will continue with its current duck ‘strategy’.

What does this mean to special editions of the duck for Holidays and Special Events?  You’ll have to wait and see!

It also means that your yellow ducks have become that much more valuable…….

LUFTHANSA: New Amenity Kits For Business and First Class Passengers

LUFTHANSA: New Amenity Kits For Business and First Class Passengers

Lufthansa has just unveiled a refresh of their Amenity Kits for long-haul Business and First Class passengers.

Beginning this month, Business Class passengers will receive a newly designed kit from Reisenthel.  There will be 4 variants of this kit between now and fall.   The kits will feature skincare products from Korres along with the other traditional pieces that you would find in a kit such as toothbrush, toothpaste, socks, etc.

Beginning in Summer, First Class passengers will find a newly designed kit from Braun Buffel who has already been providing First Class amenity kits.   Unfortunately as of the time that I am writing this post, I do not have a photo of the new kit.   I’ll post one once I track one down.

LUFTHANSA:  All Munich Based 3-class Long-Haulers Now Have NEW First Class Cabin

LUFTHANSA: All Munich Based 3-class Long-Haulers Now Have NEW First Class Cabin

Lufthansa provided an update on Friday indicating that all of their long haul aircraft based in Munich (Airbus A330 & A340) now feature the new First Class cabin.

In all, 24 MUC-based aircraft now have the new cabin.   Next up for the fleet will be the completion of the Premium Economy cabin install, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

I expect LH to release their monthly fleet retrofit report in the next few days which will provide additional detail on their progress.
