So you know how JetBlue has free DirectTV for every seat?

This is how United decided to compete. And this is also why United is inferior.

United is shit. I have to fly them international because their hub is in Dulles, and because of the Fly America Act, but I do everything I can to get codeshared on to someone else. Preferably Lufthansa. Lufthansa on the other hand, is THE shit.

I hate American airline companies. Never had a good trip with them, so I gave up and only fly Lufthansa/ Swiss air. Swiss always has the most recent movies and a large collection for free, plus better food, and it's much cleaner. Also when I was younger I found out you could get free beer at 16 once your off the ground, which is an amazing experience.

Dash 8s aren't that bad. Better then them giving you a TV in every seat, saying they have the "best inflight entertainment", then being like "oh wait lol no pay us"

Flying Boston to Detroit is hard on Air France or KLM.

You know those prepaid Visa gift cards people use nowadays 'cause no one knows what to do with a paper check? Well, since the payment isn't processed until plane is back on the ground you can use an empty Visa gift card to activate and enjoy the Direct TV without ever having to pay a dime. So next time you have to fly United remember to bring along an empty gift card and pass it around!

Back in the mid 90s was flying LH from Frankfurt to Zurich. Pilot turns on the seat belt light just as I get up to hit the toilet. Franz The Flight Attendent says, "Ze pilot haf turned on ze seatbelt light. You must return to your seat."...I told him I won't be but a minute, honest. He looks at me and says, "If ve haf a crash and you are not in your seat ze insurance vill not be valid." I looked at him, raised an eyebrow and told him, "That's ok, I'll take my chances" as I stepped in and locked the door.

Oh, and United does indeed suck out loud in church. They're awful.

Generally though, my favorite thing about Lufthansa is that the flight staff seem to genuinely enjoy their job. I'm tall-ish and try to sit bulkhead whenever I can, right next to the jumpseats. Never has it been a boring conversation on take off or landing. And they're pretty/handsome too.
