Overall I was pleasantly pleased by the overall service which is what most people will measure an airline. A friend just asked me what my service experience was flying overseas so I thought about this flight and I should write about it. I am flying from USA to India with a stop in Germany. Boarded Lufthansa for leg to India and I haven't flown Lufthansa in a long time. I like the 747-8 planes. Well planned out with all the tech you desire on a flight with Lufthansa. I ordered the classic cuisine which was an up charge and found it was very good. That menu was: grilled beef filet steak with peppercorn jus, Greenberg's wrapped in carrot and pommels Anna with a fennel salad and for dessert a Bavarian cream with raspberry sauce. Well worth the up charge. The seat back screen with ample movies, tv and music. I paid extra for better broadband connection and communication. The stewards were excellent, friendly, helpful and classy. To answer my friend, for international travel, I find Lufthansa hit the mark and are better than their competition that I have flown (United, Delta, American, Air France and KLH). Sorry but service stands above. Thaws made my flight enjoyable. read more
