Lufthansa Business Istanbul-Munich

At T-35 our hostess returned to to retrieve and drive us to our gate 204, another 1/2 mile or so away, where we bid our adieus.

On time boarding process and since we were standing near the jetway entrance, we were two of the first to board. After identifying ourselves as bulkhead pax to the FA, we stored our bags in the forward closet across from our 1DF, the best seats of a bad lot of coach-seats-with-an-open-middle which passes for J class on most European airlines' short haul routes.

Typical European J class service including unappetizing Turkish themed meal, mezes and Turkish meatballs, most of which I did not eat.
