Lufthansa First Class Frankfurt-Denver

With no Sunday morning traffic, we arrived at the First Class Terminal in less than 10 minutes, which is actually faster than walking to the FCT from the Airport Sheraton. :)    Our PA greeted us outside and escorted us to private FCT security where we the only passengers again this morning.  With all our Florence purchases, we requested a Zoll/Customs visit to stamp our Tax Free docs.  In the meantime, we headed over for breakfast.  Though breakfast service was technically over, no request is ever a problem here and we were able to order from the breakfast menu.

Mrs. SFO enjoyed her waffles.

The current menu, breakfast or lunch.

After meeting with the Customs agents and getting the requisite stamps, we relaxed for the next 90 minutes.

At about T-25, our PA escorted us downstairs to pick up passports and board our ride to the plane. With two other DEN pax, we all rode together in a Mercedes van.

And "back home" to our favorite First Class cabin. Strange feeling this morning as this is the first time we've been in row 2 (82), as another pax had already selected 83C.

A happy Mrs. SFO777.

Time to dry out. Nothing but water today for me (until lunch at least), and no mac nuts.

Today's amuse-bouche.

And the menu.

And Showtime.

But not the starters. 

Where Mrs. SFO went for the starter trio.

I passed and just had with the Salad of lamb's lettuce, Kenya Beans, sun-dried Tomatoes, shaved parmesan with sherry dressing.

And delicious Gazpacho with tomato, bell pepper, basil oil and prawn skewer.

Mrs. SFO enjoyed the Chinese artichoke with Topinambur Ravioli, Gorgonzola Dolce, Basil, smoked almonds.

While I had the simple and delicious Lemon Chicken with braised Vegetables and Potato Gratin.

For dessert, we both enjoyed the wonderful Coup Mara de Bois, Wild Strawberries, Vanilla Mousse, Sponge Cake.

After lunch, we alternatively read, watched movies, surfed the internet and slept until about two hours out, when it was time for our second meal... Viva México. Wow, this one was even better than lunch.

My main was sensational. Pork tenderloin in a light Manchego Cheese Sauce with Leaf Spinach.

The Chocolate Tart with Chili Juliennes.  OMG!

Lufthansa has taken a lot of heat for uninspiring inflight food. But this was a definite step up and major improvement over some of the weird catering in recent years. We touched down in DEN on time at 3:30P. Despite Mrs. SFO's annoying habit of not gathering her belongings until we've parked at the gate  and thus being way behind the other pax on the way to customs, we were out without any delay as there are now 7 Global Entry kiosks instead of the previous 2.  

Another great Lufthansa First Class flight and hopefully not the last First Class flight to/from Denver. Unfortunately, the LH winter schedule is not showing F. If this is indeed the case, it looks like we'll be connecting or just moving over to BA, which recently upgraded the DEN-LHR nonstop to a 4 class 744.  

Thanks to everyone for following this report and for your kind comments.
