This is a short trip report of my flight from Belgrade to Frankfurt earlier this week. Lufthansa has two daily flights on this route, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I was flying on the second service on this occasion which was being operated by an almost ten year old Airbus A321 featuring the new blue livery.
For some reason, Lufthansa Group airlines now do check in procedures at the old Terminal 1 building, which does offer a ground level view of the tarmac.
After a quick check-in, I headed up to the T1 passport control. Since many people don't know that the terminal has a separate passport control from the much busier Terminal 2, I completed the process in seconds as there was no one else around.
The airport was quite busy at this time of day. There were also a lot of land surveyors walking around so my guess is that very soon there will be changes inside the departures area of the terminal. I took some shots.
The new smoking room seems nice and quite large with nice views of the runway. I'm not a smoker myself but having seen other smoking rooms around Europe, this looks very decent.
The Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt was, of course, late. I have flown with them around ten times in the past two years and not a single time was my flight on time. I noticed that the later your actual departure time, the greater the delay.
The A321 was full and the crew did apologise for the half an hour delay.
After we were airborne the usual Lufthansa service began consisting of a free sandwich and drink. The sandwich contained salami and some sour cream filling. The service was efficient and the crew, as usual, very relaxed. It was a mix of quite older and youngish crew. This aircraft was also Wi-Fi enabled but I did not use it.
Upon landing, the purser announced the departure gates for connecting passengers. I find this interesting so you can hear where people are heading off to. This time it was Helsinki, Madrid, Barcelona, Naples and Glasgow.
Overall, Lufthansa offers decent service for the cost of the fare and even above average food and beverages considering the number of airlines which have introduced buy-on-board and offer nothing other than water for free.
