That was fortuitous - almost identical to what happened to me on my first flight in Europe many years ago.
I have to point out that despite the efficiency and excellence of Lufthansa, many passengers wouldn't have had it as easy as I (I live in West London and the taxi is paid for by work). If you'd needed to get anywhere outside the Piccadilly line, your goose would have been cooked; and if you lived outside London, it would have been stuffed as well
It is only reasonable that the airline endeavours to deliver an alternative when something breaks, and I can understand
Evanelpus' desire to make the most of the time available. I too like to eke out every moment before leaving somewhere I've gone for pleasure.
However, this experience has taught me the value of leaving some slack and not being too complacent. For example, my meeting in Germany was set for 1600 on Monday, and my firm's agent booked me to arrive at 1430. At my request, I took an earlier flight which was just as well - we had an hour's delay owing to foul weather and my colleagues arrived red-faced and flustered.
SO
