Sally Blyth flies Prague to Munich on Lufthansa LH1689
The plane: A Bombardier CRJ900 operated by Lufthansa CityLine, a subsidiary of Lufthansa. Very smart and clean, it looked and felt brand new.
Class: Economy.
My seat: 24A – a very comfortable window seat one row from the back of theplane. Avoid seats 25C&D in the very back row on the right when seated – strangely, there is no window on that side, but there is for 25A&B.
How full? Plenty of spare seats throughout the aircraft which ensured hassle-free entry and exit and a peaceful flight.
Service: Excellent. We were given a delicious snack bar as we entered the plane and were also offered tea, coffee and water halfway through the flight – an unexpected and pleasant surprise, bearing in mind how short the flight was.
Entertainment: No time for that!
Food and drink: We didn't think there'd be time, but there was, as mentioned above.
Airport experience: Prague airport wasn't busy, check-in was easy and friendly, and there was no problem getting our bags checked all the way through to NZ. Some were over the 23kg limit for this short-haul leg but that wasn't a problem. One of the ladies in my group required a wheelchair and was escorted to the plane without issue.
The bottom line: Without doubt, the best ultra-short flight I've done in 40+ years of travel. Everything was outstanding – swift, streamlined and 100 per cent pleasant, with great views.
