We arrived at the gate a little later than planned, and boarding was mostly finished. You might wonder how it's possible to be late when you have a four hour layover, but trust me, it is. We didn't miss the flight and that's what matters. The consequence for our tardiness was ending up on the…

Nice review. Was there Wifi on board? I like to use short haul flights to get caught up on my e-mails.
What was people's reaction there to the election of trump? I find people are generally positive. The hegemony of christian white male finally being restored, though they can't be open about it yet, since most of them are still scared of their wives at home.
Deniz Wesley -- I don't believe so. I didn't see any mention of it. And I agree, I find it useful too and probably would have bought it.
@Travis thanks for the reply. I guess that's one of the very few areas LH will have to work on.
I enjoyed reading the report. The food looks very funky. Is that small shrimp on top of the mango?
But why aren't the flight details listed at the top of the review? We don't have any idea that it was a dinner flight--or the duration or anything else because there aren't any details.
Thanks!
Stop the presses! The stairs were icy, in Norway, during Winter season! Can Lufthansa spell refund?!
Donald -- The flight was scheduled to depart 5:00 PM and arrive Oslo at 7:05 PM. 2:05 duration. I guess I forgot to include that, but edited to add above. Thanks.
Thanks Travis!
I enjoy your reports. You cover a different kind of travel experience that isn't always applicable to me, but I can always forward it on to my brother with 3 kids and my friends. Can't wait for the rest of the report (and for the trolls to go somewhere else!
Agree with @donald. I appreciate your trip reports as well as it highlights the family with kids perspective and how the airlines or hotels treat them. So thank you Travis!
Welcome to Norway! 🙂 Hope you enjoy Oslo despite the rather cold temperatures we're getting at the moment. Let me know if you want any tips from a local, I'm happy to help!
I totally agree that Business Class on intra-European flights with Lufthansa aren't all that impressive since the main difference from Economy is a blocked middle seat and a better meal. In Economy they usually serve either a small snack or a sandwich. I was upgraded on a flight from Frankfurt to Rome last year and since I usually travel Economy I was thrilled when I got my new boarding pass. After the flight I was more "meh" about the whole thing. The experience wasn't exceptional enough for me to be willing to pay extra for it.
Your notion of a flight starting at 5 as being appropriate for the evening meal is a typically American observation. Plenty of my fellow Europeans would not expect something substantial at that time of day.
On my first trip (a Tauck tour) in the US (in California, many centuries ago) most f our fellow travellers were astounded my partner and I would not consider dining before 7.
Something to bear in mind.
I took the same route in business about a week earlier at an earlier time--around 3pm I think. Boarding was totally chaotic, but par for the course for intra-European flights. I normally don't buy business in Europe as I don't think it's worth it. Lufthansa is probably near the top of the majors and has good connections. Service is however consistently good. Maybe SAS is slightly better.
I don't think it's worth travelling business within Europe, especially risking to do the entire trip with joyful and truly fun (but noisy) kids.
