News and notes from around the interweb:
- Lufthansa new first.
I’m the luckiest guy today on LH410 MUC-JFK able to try out the entire four suites of the brand new @lufthansa #lufthansaallegris First Class myself. Having 1A plus a double suite is almost like flying a private jet #PaxEx #avgeek pic.twitter.com/gAs0i0f07Y

Double suite on @lufthansa Allegris First is impressive covering almost 4sqm. I also tried the full double bed. Probably the biggest in the sky 126×205 cm and perfect mattress without gap between beds provide great sleep #PaxEx #avgeek pic.twitter.com/ws1OqRVw0e

Pure indulgence today on @lufthansa brand new Allegris First MUC-JFK. Serving caviar (farmed in China) with toast is a gourmet no no – but very good culinary #PaxEx #avgeek pic.twitter.com/G36Ihe165r

- Wait, wut? You’re expected to tip a robotaxi?
Follow-up: Looks like the @Waymo “tipping” feature is actually for charity donations! Clever pic.twitter.com/5JnUaS6BNL

- 1,151,955 tacos were sold at the Austin airport in 2024. That’s actually a significant decline – in 2019 they sold 1.6 million breakfast tacos alone. However brisket sales have doubled since then.
- There’s one bartender in the Chicago United Polaris lounge who’s a total jerk, and everyone knows who he is
- How do you explain people like this?
When your coworker is 10 rows behind you and sends you this…

The first full trailer for “White Lotus” S3 and its set in Thailand.
Audience for this will be huge. Every single Western college grad from 1995 to 2015 went to a Thai Full Moon Party as part of their process of “self discovery”.

On LH’s new ‘Allegris’ cabins, that’s epic, and glad to see them starting this for JFK-MUC at least. I doubt points redemptions are going to be easy to come by for First, but worth a try at least for the new Business as well. Hopefully there isn’t a ‘last-minute’ aircraft swap—‘sorry, old version, 2-2-2’. *sigh*
Interesting that you neglect to mention the bartender’s name, Gary…
Gary is that bartender’s name? That’s a suspicious name if ever I heard one.
I hope Rudy isn’t making the Four Seasons arrangements or it might end up being filmed at a nursery.
@ Gary — Allwgris is about the dumbest seat layout I have EVER seen.
@Gene
How do you know–Have you tried it yet?
1-2-1 cannot possibly be worse than 2-2-2 in business.
Very well done from the photos! Love that it is black (?). It looks so calming and elegant. It appears to be quite spacious and well designed. I think that the airline did a great job and hit the nail on the head with this one!
I went to Haad Rin on the island of Ko Pha-ngan, Thailand and visited the area of the Full Moon Party several decades ago. I was not there for a Full Moon Party because of the wildness of those events. I rented a bungalow that I think had an ensuite bathroom and a thatched roof and maybe thatched or wicker walls. Google Street View shows it now to be somewhere that I wouldn’t want to go back to. Too much development. The movie trailer is kind of sad to me. Fortunately there are still some beach areas in Thailand that are still rustic. The countryside still has it’s charm, too.
