Review : Lufthansa Economy, Frankfurt-Paris, Airbus A320-200

After my flight from Brussels, I finish my trip in economy class with this flight to Paris, still on Lufthansa.

Today’s itinerary

Connection circuit

As I said in the previous review, I join by bus the terminal B following the arrival on my flight.

A long way to the departures
Bus traffic is really heavy in Frankfurt

It’s a double whammy, as Terminal B requires a long walk through Frankfurt airport before accessing the normal lounges and Schengen gates.

The Lufthansa stork, present everywhere in the corridors of Frankfurt airport

So I take the famous Frankfurt tunnel and its travelators to the A-gate area.

Lounge

The Senator lounge is located in the middle of Frankfurt’s Gate A complex.

That morning it was full as an egg, so you’ll pardon the lack of photos. But you can find the full report here.

Few spaces available to settle down quietly

I take a seat on a high table and make a quick tour of the catering…

The bread basket, a little less stocked than usual
Cheese and charcuterie, always so appetizing
Beautiful freshly baked pastries and fine jams
Good and hot with these scrambled eggs and small sausages
Yoghurt, red fruit compotes and fresh fruit salad

As you can see, it’s classic Lufthansa, but very good and of good quality.I leave the lounge a few minutes before the theoretical boarding time of my flight to Paris.

Boarding

Boarding starts 5 minutes later than scheduled, and by families with babies and disabled persons. Then come the Gold Track passengers of which I am a part.

I always wonder what people ask at the boarding counter…

Priorities are respected, but Lufthansa boardings in Frankfurt and Munich are often a bit messy because they are not well marked.

Cabin and reception

A little cold reception at the gate. I go to the Economy cabin, I am in 06D, in the second row. The middle seat will remain empty once again.

The A320 is really the Jeep of the medium-haul routes at Lufthansa

Service and catering

A sandwich is offered, as well as a hot and cold drink service. A black coffee will do for me (surprisingly, no water offered in addition as it is customary on Lufthansa).

Arrival and disembarkation

The arrival will be on time in Paris, and the disembarkation in contact at the gate.

Bottom line

A rather average flight, with a crew of the same type.
