Even when flying in premium cabins, travel isnt always seamless. There are still so many things that can go wrong, from airport security to long lines at customs/immigration to surly flight attendants to bad food to lost bags.

Glad you had a good trip. Yes, i also find LH catering out of the U.S. is better. What happened with TSA?
Do tell what happened with the suits! The more stories that embarrass the TSA, the better. Every bit helps to bring change.
C'mon, c'mon, you GOTTA give the 411 on the latest installment of TSAssanine!
Oh- I give up on the postcard item, and I can't make out the upper left one- too much cabin reflection.
Security @ SFO is not the TSA - it is subcontracted out to Covenant Aviation Security http://covenantsecurity.com/sfo/ so it's unfair to point the finger @ the TSA this time 🙂 ...
Any chance you could post a picture of the F menu for the flight when you get a chance? Flying Lufty F ex-USA and can't find the menu anywhere
Lucky -- I can't tell from the pics whether this was LH business or first. Can you elaborate? I've booked an itinerary that has me on LH business from GVA-DUS-EWR and am trying to figure out how much I'm giving up by being in business instead of F.
@ Jay -- Sure, I'll post it as soon as I get back.
@ EggSS4 -- This was first class. I think first is well worth the premium over business if available.
Flying that route in a few months. Only in business right one but hope to up my award if last min availability appears in first. I also like Munich airport more than Frankfurt so happy when routed that way.
Coins,
My mantra when I travel is to take the chip off my shoulder when I leave the house. I don't know what problem you had with the TSA, but anytime someone goes out of their way to provoke an incident (whatever that means), it seems to mean that the passenger has that chip 'on' their should. If anyone is looking for a 'fight' we all know they're easy to find.
It's gaming the system in reverse. We all know and have read about TSA made up rules, but for any reader to 'fan the flames' (right or wrong), well, you can be right, or 'dead right'.
Frequent flyers just need to 'move along'. We all need to stop inflaming an already out of control situation. Want to fix the system, write your Member of Congress, and write again and again.
That's really funny, Dan: the idea that Lucky went out of his way to "provoke an incident." It's funny because those of us who have followed Lucky's blog and 20,000+ posts on FlyerTalk know that he could practically write a book about the Zen of air travel.
@snic, Coins 'suggested' something happened. I'm just reading into that. Ben, do tell? If I'm incorrect, thanks for allowing my editorial comments!
@Dan: It doesn't take a chip on the shoulder to have a bad experience with the TSA. 'Moving along' with the TSA occasionally requires you to bend over while you suck your genitals up into your body. Which, I really wish more frequent flyers would learn to just enjoy so they don't inflame an already out of control situation.
Oh and, you're absolutely right. We all need to write our Representatives. And do it again, again, and again, and again, and again, and again, vote, and copy George Clooney and Carrot Top, and do it again, and again, and again, repeat ad infinitum.
