Our flight was originally scheduled to be operated by an Airbus A319, though last minute there was an aircraft swap to a Boeing 737-300. Despite the aircraft swap the boarding process was smooth, given that the planes have very similar configurations.

What is a DL plane doing there?
I have flown DL to CDG and AF to NCE but never knew DL went direct there from the US
though LH planes are uncomfortable intra EU i am often amazed that they can serve food on short flights out of FRA.
(Missed you again by a hair - passed through FRA on way home from VCE). checked out the first class lounge. My expectations were higher. Perhaps it was the having to walk out of the airport to find i and showers, no batht. i did enjoy how LH look after first class passengers though. Does not seem an improvement over the MUC first lounge. i digress. thanks for your reports.)
@fifi
When did you go to NCE, because DL's service is fairy new and also seasonal..and also ex JFK. 🙂
@ ffi -- Yep, they have service from JFK, and it's probably the single route that's most consistently only available at the "high" level for awards.
@ Levy Flight -- To clarify, you went to the First Class Terminal and not the First Class Lounge?
@ Mitchzmagic -- Hah, figured it was Russian based on the name. Guess I can't keep up with all the airlines over there.
Rossiya is an airline based in Saint Petersburg. It used to be called Pulkovo Aviation. I flew it once LED-HEL. Rather scary experience...
"Man, I can only imagine what a flight from London to Nice would be like…".
-Or Moscow.
Rossiya was founded in mid-1930s, is based in LED and merged with Pulkovo Aviation in 2006. It's actually THE operator of governmental (incl presidential) jets.
Hehe that sounds scarily familiar as an assessment of flying to Nice! I was in bmi business last time I did so (on a brilliant sale fare with lots of bonus miles!) and had exactly the same sort of age difference between the couple sitting behind - perhaps they're all just travelling there with their sons/daughters? 😉 Glad to see LH food retaining its usual weird combinations!
haha i flew Lufthansa intra-Europe in late July. The food was exactly like you showed in the picture and it was pretty gross. I ate the bread and that was it. That chicken skewer... did not look like chicken. They gave us ice cream instead of chocolate tho.
OT: @Alan, props on the correct usage of all 3 they're/there/their in such close proximity :-).
I have to flown into Nice many times and you were seated correctly. But it seems the wind was blowing from the west this time. Normally ( on the left side) you see St Tropez, Cannes before landing. Amazing view.
Lufthansa has horrible seats for intra-Europe business class. More than 30 minutes and you need a new butt. And that Edelweiss soup. Please Ben, since you are LH royalty, tell them to stop serving that !
Getting a helicopter from Nice to Monaco is cheaper than getting a taxi!! Food for thought 🙂
