Second Trip - First Class

Thursday morning Markus’ alarm clock went off very early at 04:35 as he had to catch a flight from Friedrichshafen Airport to Frankfurt at 0600. After a 30 minute drive (held up by a few lorries) Heidi’s taxi service delivered Markus just in time at the small airport. The flight to Frankfurt was short & smooth and upon arrival Markus was picked up by a Porsche Panamera S right by the airplane parked in the outfield to bring him to the Terminal. The reason for that fuss was the fact that Markus granted himself an upgrade to the First Class for his onward flight to New York, a goodie which he could enjoy all the way given it was a daytime flight.

There is not many hotels which have such a large bathroom like the FCT in Frankfurt

Markus was brought to the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt where he had to spend 3 hours waiting for the connecting flight and the service there was truly unique. He was welcomed by a Lufthansa representative and all his luggage scan and passport control was taken care of. He had breakfast freshly prepared in the restaurant – run by Do&Co – took a shower in order to have a fresh journey to the US and relaxed. Come boarding time he was accompanied to a limousine again and brought right to the plane where he made himself comfortable on the upper deck of one of Lufthansa’s Boeing 747-400.

Who said it's no fun when it's raining?

A few years ago we had the chance already to experience First Class when we were upgraded by Thai Airways on our last holiday in Thailand and so Markus knew what he could expect. Fresh flowers as decoration, vintage champagne, fresh caviar, delicious scallops and excellent personalised service lived up to the expectations and made the journey to the Big Apple a short and a truly memorable event. While dad was enjoying top-class service above the Atlantic Jakob had to put on the rain-gear in order to be able to get some fresh air. Equipped with new waterproof boots and a proper raincoat our junior had fun outside in the rain.
