Food- be specific if you dont want to eat Meat. And the vegetarian choices are really bad. Pack exact 23 KG/ 50 LB or else you have to pay
MichaelFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Get seats in a back, more chances to get empty seat next to you

If you are flying out of Terminal B, give yourself plenty of time. There was only one security line for gates 60- and up. Took almost an hour to clear security.
