After flying First Class on British Airways with my Avios miles for my outbound flight, here I am on my return flight to Montreal on a Star Alliance member Lufthansa A330 in First Class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This flight was funded by \n 70,000 Aeroplan miles<\/strong>\n<\/span>This flight was financed by Aeroplan Miles, a great deal in terms of the services offered, which easily surpass the experience on British Airways! To know how I set up this itinerary, you can read this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In my last report<\/a>, we were left with the transfer to the tarmac in a Porsche Cayenne, the privilege of being in first class on Lufthansa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having just arrived from Frankfurt, I head to the First Class lounge at Munich Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n

I arrive at my gate. I was supposed to be the only one in First Class…. but 7 people were upgraded that day from business class (all frequent travelers for Siemens, Mercedes and BMW… Montreal Grand Prix obliges!).<\/p>\n\n\n

The cabin will therefore be complete!<\/p>\n\n\n

Once on board, what strikes me is the space given to passengers in First Class. Here are the seats 1k and 2k. I’ll be sitting in seat 2k (deliberately chosen to not be near the kitchens and toilets).<\/p>\n\n\n

Shortly after takeoff, a wipe is brought to me to refresh me.<\/p>\n\n\n

We soon arrive in Montreal, the landing is announced under a driving rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an aviation enthusiast, you can probably guess from these articles: this was my best air travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

The outbound trip was already top-notch on British Airways, but the return trip was a step above: the service on the ground and in the air was simply remarkable, as was the product offered by Lufthansa and Star Alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n

That’s why we at milesopedia love the Aeroplan program so much: without Aeroplan miles, it would have been impossible to book an experience like this unless you spent several thousand dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n

If you need advice on how to set up this type of trip, don’ t hesitate to ask your questions in our Facebook group<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maps to make this trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here, I needed American Express with Membership Rewards (transferable to Aeroplan miles) and my Scotiabank American Express Gold card (which allowed me to pay Aeroplan taxes with the Scotia Bonus points).<\/p>\n\n
