HelenFlew with LufthansaLAX-FRADec 2023
Board the flight with everyone since they don’t seem to check and the boarding scanning is no longer a scan of your documents. You walk through the gate one person at a time, even the kiddos. Luggage bins were so full. Check it in and don’t forget air tags. That provided great comfort to know your luggage’s proximity.
