lufthansa 747 business class review

flight from Frankfurt to New York in Business. Lounge in terminal 1C -Comparing with British Airways, another 4 star airline, here is where Lufthansa falls short. Frankfurt lounges are too cramped and have shoddy service for the number of passengers that pass through. Food almost non existent, drinks were fine. - does not feel like a lounge, more like a waiting room in a European station. only positive about this lounge was that it has a direct boarding gate. I don't understand why we still have to pay for the internet connection in the lounge. Onboard food and drinks was standard, nothing special. Service polite and efficient. main deck J class Seating arrangement was 2-3-2,the 747 has 80 business class seats which makes the service impersonal. The seat was comfortable but angled flat bed kept on sliding down when fully reclined. Fair AVOD selection. Toilets on all aircraft - A330-300, A340-300/600, B747-400 - the number of toilets were not enough and besides the MUC-JFK leg, none of the toilets were kept clean as they should on a 4-star airline. The amenity kit comes in what appears to be a shoe-bag, although I’ve never seen anyone use it for that in-flight. Its contents were very limited – eyeshades, socks, toothbrush and toothpaste. There was moisturizer and mouthwash available in the lavatories. (LH does not offer pajamas.)

Overall a smooth flight however nothing special and very standard However, I will try and avoid B747 flights if possible.
