Review: Frankfurt-Seville, Lufthansa Business Class, A321

Second stage of my journey to Seville. After a very good first flight between Paris and Frankfurt, I’m headed for the Andalusian capital.

Ground experience and boarding

After passing through the comfortable Senator lounge in Hall A, I headed for my boarding gate. As is often the case in this terminal (and in Frankfurt in general) it requires a bit of walking.

The bird is there and waiting for us.

Not stupid, the coffee machines next to the gates for the passengers not having access to the lounge or not having had the time to go there.

The staff is very busy at the counter, the flight is full and they ask economy passengers to put their luggage in the hold.

Everything happens in order and good mood and we are ready to board on time.

Priorities are respected and priority passengers quickly board first.

The cabin

The cabin of this A321 has been seen and seen again, its warm and look premium…and its NEK seat a bit hard.

6 rows of business class on a destination that others treat as a leisure destination…

My seat (window) for this flight. The central seat will of course be neutralized to give more space to the passengers.

Still plenty of room on Lufthansa and I have no trouble fitting my 1m88.

You can easily extend your legs under the front seat.

Even cross them.

As usual, the house “literature” is neatly packaged in a blister pack.

Closing of the doors on time (11:50 am) and push back 7 minutes later, we can take off.

The flight and the service

We pierce quietly the cloudy layer and it’ s a pleasure to see the sun again.

The service starts early for a flight of this duration (12:20).

They give me my meal tray and almost immediately strong turbulences force to stop the service.

By the way….for once I forgot to photograph the meal tray…. Let’s say that it was correct without more in quantity and rather basic in its composition and that I expected better on a flight of almost 3 hours. Comparatively it was much better on my Paris-Frankfurt in the morning.

The service is interrupted for 30 minutes so that we will have the drinks well after having finished eating, but we can’t blame the crew and I confirm that the violence of the turbulences made any service impossible.

For the next hour, the staff will not leave the cabin and will make a drink service every 10 minutes (I counted).

Since I was wearing my noise-reducing headset, the flight attendant systematically put a bottle of wine under my eyes to ask if I was thirsty.

End of flight without stories and without turbulences which allows me to look at an old movie featuring De Funès.

Arrival in Seville

Andalusia is beginning to appear….

And we finally arrive. On time.

Bottom line

A rather turbulent flight at the beginning but the staff can’t do anything about it, not even for the interruption of the service. For the rest the staff was excellent but the meal disappointing.

For the record, my routing :
