Off to Italy
Mrs. SFO777 and I are off for a week in Italy, mostly Rome and Milan. And a treat to be flying Lufthansa First Class nonstop from Denver after Lufthansa finally brought First Class back to Denver. A very pleasant flight once on board, but Lufthansa priority boarding for First Class is as bad as ever… as in not at all.
Since the Capital One Lounge was at capacity, we headed to the new but unimpressive United Club.
Meh.

Outstation First Class boarding is as bad as ever. Sure, even though there are only 3 of us, let's board with 50 other pax.
But on board, still a lovely First Class cabin.
Tonight's champagne. Menu says Dom, but not a bottle on the plane.
Tonight's menu...
And wine list. Talk is cheap as there was no Dom.
Wine is not a strong suit on Lufthansa.
After departure, the spicy tuna was delicious.
With no Dom, I'm back to G&T.
The starter trio.
The lone good wine on board... the Bordeaux was good.
My Pork Chop with apple Calvados sauce was very good.
Mrs. SFO777's sea bass was a meh.
But the warm Pecan Pie was spectacular!
With only one other First Class passenger, we each had our own bed across the aisle.
Fruit plate prior to arrival.
Since we parked at a remote tarmac position, a van was waiting to transport the three of us to the terminal.
