Wednesday

i have returned from the other side of the world. Well, actually not the other side just a little over.

On February 17 my wife and I boarded a Lufthansa flight to Munich, Germany. Why Munich? Because that was where we took the connection to Budapest.

It seems that there are differences between overseas flights even within the same airline.

In December of last year my wife flew over to Frankfurt and the meal was mac and cheese and not much else.

This time we had a choice between chicken breast and  some vegetarian meal. We obviously chose the chicken and I have to admit it was great.

Before the meal they came around and offered drinks, alcoholic drinks with no charge. I believe in accepting anything the airline offers since it is paid for. So, we had some drink. With the dinner we had the choice of having champagne which we naturally had.

Why just those capitalists in first or business class should get all the good stuff. To our great surprise after diner they came around and offered Baileys as aperitif. At that point we decided that Lufthansa will be our flag carrier.

In between meals, we also had breakfast, they offered small snacks.

The flight was uneventful and after waiting a few hours in Munich we boarded the Budapest flight and finally landed in the old country a little after noon.

Since flying in from a European Union country (Germany) passport control is non existent. Our arrival was on time.

My mother-in-law and her husband waited for us at the airport with made the arrival more pleasant. There is nothing colder than arriving at an airport with nobody waiting.
