Lufthansa is trying to see if it can get away with cleaning short haul aircraft less between flights, and that might even include not cleaning the lavatories… but only in economy!

Lufthansa is truly trying to become EasyJet while maintaining its already stained “premium” image. At least, EasyJet doesn’t try to cover up its penny pinching. I’m 90% sure that Lufthansa would label this move as something “eco-friendly” and “customer-oriented.”
Cutting cabin cleaning just because “passengers won’t notice the difference anyway” is a very irresponsible thing for an airline to say, even more so when it is selling its tickets for such a premium price. No wonder they are struggling!
How does this fit in with the new “FOX”passenger experience they were promoting last week!? Uncleaned toilets hardly screams a premium upgrade to the passenger experience!
Lufthansa should install toilets that do not flush. Just doodoo in bag. Throw it in garbage bin. I would pay extra to doo that!
Not sure if they struggle due to low demand, at least in the intra-EU market most flights I take are completely full. I think the main reason they struggle is because Spohr refuses to pay them for his damages to the company and instead gets payed by LH.
Oh! A memory from the 1980s, BRU FRA 45 min normal but C class need a full breakfast. No time for trays so LH trialled Fa’s walking through cabin handing out butter croissants on napkins with butter pats and jam. No plates, My god the mess! Lasted two weeks then cleaners threatened to revolt
Ah so this is their new enhanced onboard experience…. You may get customised surprise amenities at your seat like crumbs, empty crisp packets, or used tissues.
The Spohring of LH continues.
Economy has been Spohred. What will they Spohr next?
Every new article I read about LuftKafka gives me another reason never to fly LuftKafka again.
Was it Lufthansa who introduced the passenger ‘Cattle Class’ way back in the 1940’s?
All things considered this is a great marketing strategy! Surely nobody would notice and talk about it.
The turn at an outstation after a short European flight where they don't have to cater is 45 to 55 minutes. Between getting the passengers off the plane and the next bunch of passengers onboard again, it is not as if there is a whole lot of cleaning time to begin with.
Years ago flying LH long haul biz, I used a wet wipe on the tray table…..the wet wipe turned black. Good luck in economy!
It’s kinda brilliant. Except for the few folks who use the lav before takeoff, everyone else will blame the mess on their fellow passengers and not the airline.
As bad as Lufthansa is made out to be by some, it is still miles above the U.S. airline pack in the World Rankings …. Yes?
you mean Skytrax, the paid consulting-fees-for-ratings scam? Only their airport ratings are supposedly based on customer reviews — their airline ratings on based on their “audit” findings. And did they tell you they also conveniently offer consulting services? looool
Flying has become pretty nasty and now we have to fly in filth. Great experience
Carsten Spohr is to Lufty what the little Irishman Alan Joyce was to Qantas. This is why premium airlines never hire Irish or German bosses.
Who in heaven’s name gave you that false information to publish herein?
You believe that fallacy and you will believe anything …. Yes?
Simply more U.S. propaganda spread by the U.S. airlines, in an attempt to fool the gullible home market flying public, into believing that the domestic product is acceptable …. Yes?
Clearly you have never taken a flight upon a World Class airline, therefore, your opinion matters NOT a jot …. Yes?
By the way, how is life treating you in Nags Head just now sealax?
