Now Chase and Capital One both have a bonus to Qantas of 20%. Qantas is not really that good any more because of many devaluations. I am still practicing award flights but right at least I have got American, Alaskan, United, Delta, and Singapore good and of course all hotels. Now for hotels 65% Chase to Marriott, bad and AMEX to Hilton only 20%, bad. Now Lufthansa wants to become the most premium air line and here is want all 4 classes will look like:
First Class:In addition to new tableware, a varied gourmet breakfast – including caviar upon request – and an expanded beverage menu featuring new cocktails, long drinks, and mocktails, the First Class menus in particular are set to be a memorable experience: They showcase modern, light fine dining – conceived by two-Michelin-starred chef Christoph Kunz. With his restaurant Komu in Munich, he is one of the defining voices of modern and creative haute cuisine. With FOX, First Class travelers enjoy a curated selection of smaller courses, consisting of trilogies for the amuse-bouche, the appetizer, and the dessert. For the main course, guests have a choice and can decide between a single dish and a tasting menu. Together, Christoph Kunz and Lufthansa have created a high-quality yet surprising concept.
Aside from the new FOX menus, First Class travelers on Lufthansa will continue to enjoy the popular caviar service, which has been one of the “Lufthansa Signature Moments” since the introduction of First Class. In addition to the excellent caviar served with the traditional accompaniments of lemon, egg, shallot, and crème fraîche, blinis are now also served – traditionally on a mother-of-pearl spoon, which is also new on board.
Lufthansa is also offering First Class guests an even more premium champagne selection: For the first time, the airline is serving the exquisite Prestige cuvée La Grande Dame from the renowned Veuve Clicquot. In addition to the rotating selection of premium champagnes, which will continue to be offered as before, First Class guests can now enjoy the exceptional quality of La Grande Dame on every flight.
The innovative amenity kit from BABOR rounds out the premium travel experience in FOX First Class. With the amenity menu, guests can individually select cosmetics and skincare products that perfectly suit them and their skin’s needs. The crew then brings guests the chosen products directly to their seats.
Business Class:In Business Class, the new premium service offers guests a particularly memorable experience. The focus is on the culinary experience. New menus by Johann Lafer, who has already created new dishes for Lufthansa on short-haul flights, will treat passengers to the highest culinary quality and exciting combinations in the future. The new breakfast menu allows guests to choose what they’d like to eat for breakfast the following morning from a varied menu as early as the evening before—ranging from smoothies to French toast and omelets. In addition, FOX Business Class features completely new tableware. As a Lufthansa Signature Moment, there will be a cake service in the future, where guests can treat themselves to coffee and cake in classic style onboard. Also brand-new: With “Sky Selection,” guests can order their second meal on long-haul flights whenever they like—from a wide selection ranging from tapas bowls to currywurst to macarons.
Premium Economy:For guests in Premium Economy, FOX is all about offering more comfort: The entire first service has been significantly upgraded: from a Business Class-level appetizer to a choice of three hot main courses, plus fresh, warm bread. In Premium Economy Class, guests can also look forward to pastries or a slice of cake; in addition, the beverage selection has been expanded, so that from now on there are more frequent drink service, greater variety, and a new digestif service. For that little extra touch of comfort, travelers will now receive cozy slippers.
Economy:FOX also offers numerous innovations for travelers in Economy Class: For the first time, Economy Class passengers will receive an amenity kit featuring a sleep mask and earplugs for a peaceful night’s sleep. Added to this are new and modern tableware—in all classes, by the way—new cutlery and trays, as well as a printed menu. The beverage selection is being significantly expanded. On flights longer than ten hours, there are now three hot main courses to choose from—instead of two as before. Freedom of choice and greater personalization thus become a quality promise in Economy Class as well.
FOX stands for Future Onboard Experience. Also the CSR also got its highest bonus of 150k as Hyatt and Points Boost devalued. That is all for today.
