Flying Lufthansa FRA - MUN - NCE last Tuesday, fog at at FRA made us late, and the MUN - NCE flight was held - I suspect becasue I went straight to the desk when getting off. But I was told that holding the flight was desirable because it was the last flight to Nice, there were no onward connections, it was more convenient for passengers, and it was cheaper than putting them in a hotel for the night! (The only other passenger connecting was a very pretty young blonde French lady - but she got off after me and wasn't walked along to the connecting gate, having to run!) Of course. my bag didn't make it....and we had the Lufthansa service that has been described here before - the CC took the earliest opportunity of diving into the galley, pulling the curtain and ignoring the passengers, only coming out to clear away as the landing gear went down!
