A truly perfect flight!

Good evening from Frankfurt! You ever have one of those flights where everything goes right? Well, I just had one on Singapore Airlines (not surprisingly, I suppose). The conditions were perfect — first class was almost empty, the flight time was 12 hours (the perfect length, in my opinion, given that it allows eight hours of sleep and two hours on each end for a good meal), the service was spectacular, and the meal was the best I’ve ever had on a plane.

While I’ll post the trip report shortly, here are a few pictures:

And while perhaps the terminals at Frankfurt Airport aren’t the most efficiently designed (to put it nicely), for me it’s the most exciting airport in the world. Not only do I love it because Lufthansa is among my favorite airlines, but the variety of airplanes and airlines at Frankfurt Airport makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

And to finish off the day, look what was waiting for me in my room. Thanks to a certain blog reader who shall (publicly) remain nameless!

I'll never understand your taste in food. You seem to love caviar and yet otherwise have a very undeveloped palate. You'd think with all your travel and exposure to so many cultures and cuisines that you'd appreciate sophisticated food. I'm embarrassed for you every time you order a calzone at a hotel restaurant (a St Regis no less??)... Perhaps explore some of the world's Michelin starred restaurants while you travel - you're really missing out.

@ Andy CluesCluesCareBares I am not looking for your support, douchebag.

@ Michael You know, it's very hard to sympathize and support you, with comments like that. For what it's worth, I hope LH kicks you as.s again the next time you fly.

@Aeroman I don't think NA carriers are allowed in any discussion when it comes to Y product. Kazakhstan air probably has a better product. LH is still crap. Bad seats, no leg room and the food is just disgusting. I remember last summer I flew FRA-JFK and the flight was supposed to be on the new A380 so I was really excited. I get to the gate and what's waiting? A 20 year old 747 with no in-flight entertainment system. They decided to send the A380 to Miami instead. it was parked a the neighboring gate. I was furious and talked to the manager (I speak fluent German) and tore him another one. He completely agreed with me that this was complete BS but could do nothing. I asked to be upgraded and he told me the flight was full. This is what LH amongst many airlines does. They overbook flights and then they give you a crap product. I will never fly LH again unless I can exploit them with my miles and when I fly first on LH I will order everything ten times over.

Awe, I'm glad others enjoy reading the comments as much as I do. I specifically revisited this thread today to see if there were any new comments ;-)
