Singapore for the Weekend: Lufthansa First Class Frankfurt to Singapore

I'll be on that same flight in late August (seat 1A). Can't wait for my second time in first on the A380 and the FCT at Frankfurt. I'm still debating on a hotel. It's either use Hiton Honors points or spend money on a hotel.

@ Matthew -- Are you debating the hotel in Frankfurt or Singapore? Enjoy the flight!

kinda curious to know the "stuck in bathroom" story lol.. and the last picture.. is that the lady that you talk about in this story??

I find the solution to loud snoring is a good set of large, tight fitting earplugs. Once the person starts snoring, just cram them up their nose.

On my FC A-380 flight from SFO to FRA this past weekend, I did not get my own tin of chocolates after the main meal. Instead, they offered a selection from a larger tin. I wonder if that is a permanent change from when you flew.

@ Michael G -- It actually seems to vary by flight. I can appreciate the variety.

I am flying back to SFO from ICN in a a week. Hope to get the FRA first class 380 route. Let's see.

I sat in that same seat FRA-NRT a few days ago. No pics of the baño? I couldn't get over the size and kept trying to take pictures that would show my friends how massive it was. Never could get the right angle.
Did you get your own tin of chocolates? I was just offered some to pick out of a large tin.

@ Lucky - I should've clarified that - a hotel in Singapore.

@ B -- She couldn't find the lavs so I showed her where they are. Then she was so impressed that I felt the need to show her the urinal, which requires closing the lav door. Then she started a conversation with me while in the lav with the door closed.

@ Larry -- Took lots of pictures of it for my previous trip report, and totally agree with you, it's massive. Here's the report with the pictures:

Whether they do a tin of chocolates or the individual boxes seems to vary by route.

@ Matthew -- If it were me, I'd probably do the Conrad on points. Haven't stayed there, though have heard good things.

What do you mean re: management direction?

@ Michael -- Lufthansa just seems to be making quite a few changes to position themselves as a premium airline while cutting costs. For example, HON Circle members (Lufthansa's top tier elite status which requires 600,000 elite qualifying miles over two years) can no longer be earned on coach fares. So even if you're flying full fare coach (and 600,000 miles every two years at that), you can't earn HON Circle, which seems silly. And at the same time they're cutting the number of eggs they cater from first class. 😉

With all the 380s they have too much capacity.
They need to just give away the seats MORE to their partners to at least get revenue AND make pax fly LH directly. I would happily fly LH if I was upgraded to F automatically on a full fare C. That will open up more C class for awards which generate less revenue anyway.

I just priced out an award to Hamburg on LH with United miles. The same flight was 8k in F when I booked an award as a comparison and 9k in C!

Thanks Lucky for another great trip report!!

The subtle humor along with the pics and excellent reviews really makes your reports stand out. Thanks for bringing a smile to my day!

Keep the reports coming...I enjoy living vicariously!!

Drink for listening to Justin Bieber. Drink heavily if purchased the album.

@ Lucky - I stayed at the Conrad SIN a few years back and it is great. Attached to a mall so everything is there, great pool and rooms are awesome. The only issue that I had was that they would not let me into the elite lounge in shorts for breakfast...seriously, I understand their reasoning, but it is a freaking hotel lounge!, and a Hilton at that C'mon man...oh well...I don't do HH anymore and am kicking it at the Grand Hyatt this weekend anyways

@ theblakefish -- That's SO frustrating. Seems to be a common theme in Singapore. While I can understand the concept of dressing "appropriately," shorts for breakfast hardly seems inappropriate. Oy...

Never got any chocolate on NRT-FRA or MUC-EWR 🙁 Maybe they were making sure I don't get fatter than I already am... 🙁

Hey lucky, one quick question. Did you see more A380's at Frankfurt or Singapore? I haven't been to Frankfurt yet so I don't really know.

I would like to point out that us Singaporeans just go by the book. All Singaporeans follow the rules set in any situation without exception.When theblakefish stayed at the Conrad for example, the staff member probably didn't allow him into the lounge in shorts because of the rules. Whatever the case, especially in hotels, Singaporeans tend to take the rules too seriously. It it what Singaporeans are taught to do. Follow the rules and make no exceptions, no matter how little the issue might be. I'm a regular at the Conrad and every time I visit the lounge, about 95 percent of the people are in business attire.

@ Jimgotkp -- Really, not even out of a box? That's disappointing!

@ Darren -- Saw plenty of SQ A380s in Singapore, but that's the extent of it there. In Frankfurt saw a handful of LH A380s as well.

@theblakefish- I stayed at the Conrad Singapore in Nov. for several nights. I ALWAYS wore shorts (nice shorts not gym shorts) and a golf shirt to the exec. lounge and nobody had any problems with it.

"and I chose both caviar and the salmon appetizer."

You meant tuna, right? 😉

Love how they'll serve you a slice of lime with your fruit plate for breakfast, but not with your soda...

@ Andy -- You're absolutely right, whoops!

Thanks for another great trip report
Have you ever in all your trips in Lufthansa figured what is the fragrance they use with the hot towels and if it is vailable for sale someplace.

@ Sean -- That's a fantastic question. I actually haven't, though I'm a huge fan of it as well.

such an awesome experience, minus the lady 🙂

Lucky, please ask the crew on your next Lufthansa flight what fragrance they use for their hot towels. It's the best ever!! They are also now using these towels for wake up in business class.
