My previously unannounced trip to KRK involved some intra-Europe Lufthansa segments. The German airline touts itself as very punctual. Did they inherit that by swallowing the Swiss clock? Maybe… I haven’t flown them before.

It’s true, though. Very punctual, and as one of the lounge agents said so herself, “I don’t know about those other airlines, but LUFTHANSA! We always fly, and we fly on time!” As for lounge agents being called “dragons”, sure they are strict, but at least I know I’m surrounded by people who actually belong there.

What about the crews? Some are very friendly, some are very strict and downright bitter, but both types provide excellent service. 3 drinks in Coach on a short-haul, regional flight from MUC-KRK? Not 3, but how about 4! And if that isn’t enough for a 1hr20 minute flight, why don’t you enjoy a sandwich and a Toblerone? Yep, that’s Lufthansa and Lufthansa Regional.

Advice I’ve gotten when it comes to Lufthansa, “Never ask the crews for pictures. They will shred you to pieces.” Apparently, the royal treatment for the King extends everywhere, even to a Friday late-night flight from Munich to London’s Heathrow. No shredding this evening:

Augsburg Airways, it’s who operates on behalf of Lufthansa to Krakow, Poland:

It’s quite a celebration when a short regional flight yields such a quality meal:

Well isn’t it? I’m sure many have seen a plane with a bad paint job, and some may have even seen one without any paint! Scary looking, isn’t it? As airlines try to make their planes look attractive, we don’t realize it’s the struggle to make the plane good looking, with a lighter coat of paint, adequate to weather conditions. All this while trying to spend the least possible amount of money.

And while the standard livery of an airline will often greatly appeal to the eye, it’s the special and “dedicated” liveries that are the celebs of the airport hubs, runways and even the skies.

Swiss Intl. Airlines recently repainted one of their Airbus 319’s in a very “cannot make it more Swiss than it is right now” way, by simply multyplying the emblem from the tail and “photoshopping” it a bit.

Swiss’ neighbor and parent airline, Lufthansa spiced up it’s birds with a little work on the nose. GOL!!!!!!!!!!!

The most popular liveries however, must be retro “dos”. People seem to go wild about seeing US Airways’ PSA A319- and frankly I cannot blame them:

Now if there could only be a Kinglobjaw.com just clicK! livery,
