Aspire Lounge

Sadly, the Star Alliance Lounge was closed so I was directed to Aspire Lounge next door. It was okay but it was mostly crowded.

Aircraft, A319-100

The Airbus A319 which earlier flew from Stockholm to Frankfurt before flying to Amsterdam.

Boarding, Gate B23

Boarding was from Gate B23.

At 11am, there was an announcement made informing that there will be a delay because of the late arrival of the aircraft, and that the new departure could be 11:45am. At 11:10am, boarding commenced.

Cabin, Business Class

Seat, 4A

The business class cabin comprised of seats from rows 1 to 5, with a total of 20 seats in a 2-2 configuration. On this flight, 15 of the seats were taken including 2 who got an upgrade.

Magazine rack

Foldable tray table

Worldshop magazine, inflight menu, safety card and air-sickness bag

If flying economy, food is for purchase which include sandwiches and drinks.

Wifi

There is free wifi on board valid for 30 minutes but you have to be a member of the Lufthansa Miles & More program.

Dining

The whole meal was served on a tray consisting of salad, smoked salmon and dessert.

For my drinks, I had a glass of apple juice and chamomile tea later on.

Before landing, we were offered some chocolates which was actually very good 😋

Landing in Frankfurt Airport

We landed at 12:31pm, which meant we made up some time despite of the delay in Amsterdam.

CONCLUSION

I have flown a few times in Lufthansa business class short haul and I´ve always loved it. Food was great, seats are economy class seats with the middle seat being blocked (just like most European airlines), and crew were friendly. They used to give menu cards pre-pandemic but now it´s gone. Overall, a nice flight.
