After waiting in this beautiful Air China First Class lounge in Beijing (ironic), we head to the boarding gate for our flight to Munich.

Ground experience

Before we went to the lounge, we went to check-in to get our boarding pass for Manchester. Online check-in is not available from Beijing, which is why we went to the desk. However, we were offered an escort to the lounge, which we accepted.

After passing through the lounge, we embarked for Munich.

Boarding

When we arrived at the gate, the priority and non-priority queues were well filled. We sneak to the side, and the boarding agent seeing our First passes invites us to board in priority.

Cabin and reception

On A380s, the Lufthansa First cabin is located on the upper deck.

We go to the appropriate gateway, and are taken care of by the flight attendant in charge of the reception at the gate. We are directed towards our respective seats, the 01A for Bertrand and the 02A for myself.

The welcome is very warm and our space for the next 11 hours is presented to us. On our arrival, all the First board set is available: comforter, mattress topper, cozy pillow.

However, the rose is not present.

This time, the First cabin will be shared with two other passengers who will occupy the other two window seats on the opposite aisle.

The toilets on board the A380 are very spacious. They occupy the Emirates Shower Spa, located near the staircase that leads to the cockpit.

Each passenger has a wardrobe (closed with a code) near the door through which we boarded

Before takeoff, a glass of rosé champagne is served to us with some macadamia nuts in a warm cup.

Service and catering

Just after passing 10,000 feet, our flight attendant will bring us the menu of delights during this daytime flight to Munich. Note that she will perform the entire service in French

The wine selection was perfect. Note that the flight attendant offered each time to taste all the options available to facilitate the pairing between food and wine.

Just after reaching the cruising altitude, an amuse-bouche is served, with a new glass of Rosé Champagne. Note that this will be the last service of rosé champagne, only two bottles being loaded for the aperitif.

Just after lunch, my flight attendant offers to make my bed so I can take a little nap. I accept this change and take the opportunity to go to the bathroom to freshen up.

Just before landing, I ask to test some options of the catering menu. A new oshibori on a plate is brought to me.

A very fine service on this flight. Perfect!

Arrival and disembarkation

We arrive in Munich on time. Our aircraft being in touch, we disembark by footbridge and head for the connecting route.

Bottom line

The flights in First follow one another and are very similar: another excellent experience on this flight in A380 between Munich and Beijing, with a perfect service and excellent catering.
