Lufthansa LH474 and Lounge - Munich - Montreal - First Class

After flying First Class on British Airways with my Avios miles for my outbound flight, here I am on my return flight to Montreal on a Star Alliance member Lufthansa A330 in First Class.

This flight was funded by 70,000 Aeroplan miles This flight was financed by Aeroplan Miles, a great deal in terms of the services offered, which easily surpass the experience on British Airways! To know how I set up this itinerary, you can read this article.

In my last report, we were left with the transfer to the tarmac in a Porsche Cayenne, the privilege of being in first class on Lufthansa.

Lufthansa Flight LH474 – Munich MUC – Montreal YUL – First Class

Having just arrived from Frankfurt, I head to the First Class lounge at Munich Airport.

The lounge offers a limousine service directly to the boarding gate. Very practical!

All relaxation areas have a view of the tarmac! Very nice for an Avgeek like me!

Drinks are offered at each relaxation area.

I decide to sit down to see the service offered. In passing, you can see the envelope of my First Class ticket, which allows the staff at the boarding gate to identify the passengers « to be boarded in priority ».

ams fra muc lh 062 — Table – Lufthansa First Class Lounge – Munich

Here is the small menu available at the beginning of the afternoon.

A nice selection of champagne and wines.

The choices offered at the buffet are excellent.

For cigar lovers, the lounge also offers a room to enjoy a cigar (offered by the company of course).

Or many strong alcohols.

Also, a wide selection of magazines available in English or German.

Before leaving the living room, a quick trip to the bathroom, always very classy.

I arrive at my gate. I was supposed to be the only one in First Class…. but 7 people were upgraded that day from business class (all frequent travelers for Siemens, Mercedes and BMW… Montreal Grand Prix obliges!).

The cabin will therefore be complete!

ams fra muc lh 086 — Boarding gate – Lufthansa

My flight today. You will notice the two boarding tunnels: on the left for First and Business Class passengers, on the right for Economy Class.

Once on board, what strikes me is the space given to passengers in First Class. Here are the seats 1k and 2k. I’ll be sitting in seat 2k (deliberately chosen to not be near the kitchens and toilets).

muc yul lh first01 — Lufthansa First Class A330

Everything is carefully arranged: the rose, a quality screen, an ottoman that can store everything you may need in flight.

There is even a bar available at the front of the cabin.

Shortly after being seated, the flight attendant calls me by name (which is very nice!) and offers me a glass of champagne and an aperitif.

Seeing me taking a lot of pictures, I explain to her that I am the head of a specialized blog and she offers me to take some pictures of me to immortalize the moment.

She will then bring me a pair of pajamas in my size, as well as slippers and the traditional travel kit.

High-end La Prairie treatments are offered.

WIFI is also available on board for less than 20 euros. I choose not to connect to it, wishing to take advantage of this flight to « disconnect »!

Shortly after takeoff, a wipe is brought to me to refresh me.

And a glass of Château Latour.

And a small appetizer.

Lufthansa’s First Class specialty: caviar!

A Lufthansa flight is only a few hundred meters apart. We fly a little bit faster: it will take us a good hour before we pass him!

A small zoom on this plane:

Before resting, a small turn to the toilets to see the space granted. Meanwhile, the hostess will have made my bed.

There is a seat to sit on, which is nice for changing. The sink is big… and there is the traditional rose, present everywhere in the First Class cabin.

And there are misters and many beauty products.

4 hours later, I wake up! I am offered a second service which I decline. Well… I’ll just have dessert and a new coffee (the 8th one of the day…).

muc yul lh first63 — 2nd service – First Class A330 Lufthansa

We soon arrive in Montreal, the landing is announced under a driving rain.

Bottom line

As an aviation enthusiast, you can probably guess from these articles: this was my best air travel experience.

The outbound trip was already top-notch on British Airways, but the return trip was a step above: the service on the ground and in the air was simply remarkable, as was the product offered by Lufthansa and Star Alliance.

That’s why we at milesopedia love the Aeroplan program so much: without Aeroplan miles, it would have been impossible to book an experience like this unless you spent several thousand dollars!

If you need advice on how to set up this type of trip, don’ t hesitate to ask your questions in our Facebook group!

The maps to make this trip

Here, I needed American Express with Membership Rewards (transferable to Aeroplan miles) and my Scotiabank American Express Gold card (which allowed me to pay Aeroplan taxes with the Scotia Bonus points).

The actual value of offers, savings realized and points earned will vary depending on card usage and eligibility for applicable offers. Conditions apply.

1 Offer description and conditions: The 25,000 Scene+ points offer (the « offer ») applies only to new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card credit card accounts (the « accounts ») opened between August 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 (regardless of the date you apply for the account) subject to the conditions below. The offer may be modified, cancelled or extended at any time without notice, and it cannot be combined with any other offer.

In addition, as a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Cardholder, you are eligible for an annual bonus of 10,000 Scene+ points if you charge at least $40,000 in eligible everyday purchases to your Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card account over the course of one year. Conditions apply; see below for more details.

Description and conditions of the 25,000 bonus Scene+ points offer: To be eligible for the 25,000 bonus Scene+ points offer (« 25,000 bonus points »), you must charge at least $2,000 in total eligible purchases to your account within the first three months following the account opening date.

Conditions for the annual 10,000 Scene+ points bonus:
As a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card credit cardholder, you can earn an annual bonus of at least 10,000 Scene+ points (the « annual points bonus ») if you charge at least $40,000 in eligible purchases to your account over the course of one year (12-month period). The annual period begins on the account opening date; a new period starts again every twelve months thereafter. If you replace another Scene+-eligible credit card with the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card (i.e., it is not a new card or an additional card), the opening date of your original account will be carried over to your new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card account and your annual period under this offer will begin on the next anniversary date of your original account opening. For example, if you originally opened a Scotiabank Gold American Express^® Card account on January 15, 2022 and you switch to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card on July 15, 2025, your annual period under the 10,000 Scene+ points annual bonus offer will begin on January 15, 2026 (your next anniversary date) and a new period will start again on January 15 each year thereafter. You will earn 2,000 bonus Scene+ points for each additional $10,000 in purchases made during the same year once you have reached the $40,000 annual purchase threshold.

Eligible purchases means purchases, less refunds, returns and any other similar credits, and excludes payments, cash advances (including balance transfers and quasi-cash transactions), interest charges, as well as card fees and other fees.

Fulfillment of the annual points bonus: Bonus points will be credited within approximately eight weeks after you become eligible for a bonus, provided the account is open and in good standing. In the case of a joint account with a primary borrower and a co-borrower, bonus points will be credited as follows: (i) the 25,000 bonus points and the annual points bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the account of the borrower who made the transaction that reached the eligible purchase threshold ($2,000, or $40,000) within the appropriate timeframe (the first three months, or the first 12 months). If an additional cardholder makes the transaction that reaches the eligible purchase threshold for the 25,000 bonus points, or the annual points bonus, the bonus points will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the primary borrower’s account. It is possible to transfer points between the Scene+ accounts of a primary borrower, a co-borrower or an additional cardholder by contacting Scene+. An account is in good standing if it is not past due, there is no over-limit, and the cardholder(s) have complied with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the account. All other program conditions continue to apply during the offer period.

Offer eligibility and exclusions: You cannot take advantage of the offer if you are currently a primary or secondary cardholder of a Scotiabank personal credit card or have been one in the past two years, including if you transfer your balance from an existing Scotiabank personal credit card account, and if you are a Scotiabank employee. Subject to the exclusions mentioned above, small business credit cardholders are eligible for this offer.

Rates and fees: The annual fees are $150 for the primary card, $0 for the first additional card and $50 for each additional card thereafter (including those issued to joint account holders and additional cardholders). The preferred annual interest rates applicable to the account are as follows: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers and quasi-cash transactions). The rates, fees, and features and benefits, which are described in the disclosure statement accompanying the application, may be changed.
