European Business Class is a pathetic excuse for "Business Class"... crappy coach seating with an open middle.  

Our A321 featured the thinnest and more uncomfortable airplane seats I have even flown.  Even Southwest is more comfortable.  And LH actually flies this plane to TLV.  When I told Mrs. SFO that this would be our plane to Tel Aviv, she said "OK, looks like we're going via Abu Dhabi and Colombo"

I guess the trade-off for crappy seats is breakfast on a 50 minute flight.

Despite the departure delay due to a flat tire (or something like that), we were almost on time until the captain decided on a go around after the wheels touched the runway.  He explained that he aborted landing because of potential wind shear.  Seemed strange since the approach was smooth and he had already touched down.  Go figure.

The lovely maze that is CDG.

We headed for exit 24 and the taxi queue.  And 40 minutes later we were at the luxurious and ridiculously cheap (with a confirmed SPG Platinum upgrade) Westin Paris-Vendôme.
