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’s First Class Terminal Celebrates 10th Anniversary With A New Duck!!

LUFTHANSA’s First Class Terminal Celebrates 10th Anniversary With A New Duck!!

Happy Birthday to the First Class Terminal!!

Ten years ago this week, the ‘FCT’ opened its doors to First Class Passengers and HON Circle members.    Since then, the FCT has become a travel destination in it of itself and has been the source of many happy memories and experiences for thousands of travelers!

To mark the occasion, the First Class Terminal will be providing guests with a special, limited edition duck that will be given away for only 2 or 3 days (while supplies last).   This Duck will perhaps be the most limited and thus most collectible one to ever be issued by the First Class Terminal, so if you travels include a visit to FCT in the coming days, make you sure come away with one!

Visitors will also be treated to an FCT that has just had a minor face lift. Guests will find new furnishings, accessories and flooring throughout the lounge.  However, the great service remains the same!
