Class: one class only
Aircraft: A 319
Meal: Snack - Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato Sandwich, Candy Bar
Drink: Beer (Gaffel Koelsch)
Comments: @5 € this Happy Snack combo is reasonably priced (on Ryanair s.th. similar would have set me back 10 € or more) and quite nice. Served by a very charming flight attendant.
All in all, this trip was pleasant and comfortable. Seats were a little cramped though ­ does not matter on such a short hop, but I would dread to fly all the way to Istanbul ;-)
Germanwings is one of the better low-cost carriers coming in a close 3rd place behind Air Berlin and hlx on my personal shortlist.

Ticket price: 49 Euro, return, taxes included
Flight duration: 1h 05m
Class: one class only
Aircraft: Airbus A319, D-AKNG
Meal: snack - Salted nuts (quite a large bag)
Drink: Prosecco (Josello, Italy, 2dl)
Comments: 17:00 - 18:05 LT
The flying time tonight was only 48 minutes, the crew had to hurry to complete the service. I paid 4 Euro for the Prosecco and 1 Euro for the large bag of salted nuts, which is ok. I give one more point as they removed these ugly add stickers from the tables (see picture 018). I would appreciate smaller glasses for wine and prosecco - may I have to come down to earth - this is a low fare airline - but a very nice one :-)

The deal was "Lebkuchen" and a hot beverage for 3 Euro, a very good deal. Friendly crew and good service. Germanwings is definitely one of the better low fare airlines.

Business or leisure trip: leisure
Meal type: Dinner
Contents of the meal: Chewing-gum while boarding, than an American sandwich with bacon and tomatoes
Drink: Kölsch (beer from Cologne)
Comments: Another load of advertisement... Incredible. So, for the meal I made an ad-free picture, quite simple: Cover the ad on the tray with the menu, fold arround the napkin and it’s done! This meal is called “Happy Snack” and consist of a sandwich or a baguette, one drink (except wine and prosecco) and one chocolate bar, for 5 Euro. This snack definitely worth the money, the sandwich was fresh and good (however the composition could be in english as well) and the beer was very nice as well. I think it’s the first time I get a real bottle instead of a can. Note the orange line on the seat in front of me, shows clearly that this is a Lufthansa plane. D-AILT is on a short-term lease to 4U and will return to LH in a few month. In the meantime
4U ordered 18 new A319 to have the needed capacity again.
