While not particularly significant, and while there’s nothing wrong with this, here’s something I find interesting. Lufthansa recently improved its business class catering, and as a result, the airline is now blocking a business class lavatory during the meal service on some planes.
It’s funny, because I just flew Lufthansa’s new Allegris business class on the 787 (more on that soon), and I noticed something was up with the lavatory. At the same time, aeroTELELGRAPH published a story explaining what’s going on.
In this post:
Rather than all dishes just being “nuked” in the oven and looking like they fell off a truck, the crew puts more effort into plating, garnishes, etc. As you’d expect, that takes a bit of effort, and galley space can be limited.
That brings us to what I find noteworthy. Lufthansa has confirmed that “on a few aircraft types – including the Boeing 787 – one of the two toilets in Business Class will be closed during preparations for the first service.”
The logic here is that the forward galley on the Dreamliner isn’t huge, and there is a lavatory up there. The crews have little carts they place in the galley so they can work on properly plating the dishes, and there’s really not room for people to be navigating around them, without getting in the way of their workflow, and slowing down the service.
I knew something was up with the Dreamliner lavatory!
I tend to notice the little details of the passenger experience, even the most minor things. After all, I’ve flown a massive number of airlines in premium cabins, and it’s the little details that set airlines apart.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
