Aboard in Lufthansa biz class on our way to ARN (Stockholm Arlanda) via DUS.
Almost lie flat seats for the overnight flight.
Inside the armrest is a little reading glasses holder (not that we have any) and a massage button.  Next to headrest is an LED reading light.

Take that, United Club

Real – and healthy – food in the AC Maple Leaf Lounge

While I’m upgraded on 4 of 5 legs already, there’s no meal on this short first flight to ORD. I’m sure I’ll get the upgrade on the last flight too.
Hello sunny and warm San Diego!

Same crew on connecting flight: 3rd time in 2 weeks

Small world…
Including the flight attendant who announced “United and SkyTeam Alliance welcome you to Boston… ” upon landing (as opposed to Star Alliance). She embarrassed when I smile and have her a thumbs up.
