10 years ago, I was fortunate enough to travel with Spanair in Business Class.

An excellent experience, well-dressed flight attendants would show you to your seat, then offer you a welcome drink, newspaper and headphones for the IFE system...

A typical luncheon menu:

Hors d'Oeuvre
Marinated roast beef, smoked chicken breast and endive salad, accompanied with sun-dried tomatoes.

Main course
Noisette of lamb with pesto-crusted potato wedges and vegetables.

Assorted cheeses
Camembert and smoked Basil

Dessert
Orange cake

Coffee and tea

Drinks
Welcome drink
Soft drinks
Beer
Red and white wine
Cava
Spirits
Whisky

All that was served on the relatively short leg from Frankfurt to Madrid. What a wonderful time that was - as a LH Senator, my trip would have started with a 'fortified' coffee in the Star Alliance Gold lounge at Birmingham, then breakfast on the way to Frankfurt. Perhaps an hour at Frankfurt in the lounge with a G&T or two, then on to the Spanair flight.

All sadly missed now !
