Wrong and wrong again, see screenshot.
There was never BusinessFirst EWR-YVR.  Business is an entirely different product than BusinessFirst.
Though there may have been KSMLs 2 years ago.  I don't recall exactly when they got rid of those.


When I try to book an award ticket i get a choice of Economy or First/BusinessFirst

Not sure about the KSML on the flight itself but...

Also call the CX lounge in HKG to get kosher food in the lounge.

Dont remember the company name, but it was definitely way behind regal and borenstein! Ksml in the lounge is from the same place I believe.

It's the same Zohar for years. The hechsher is the FRA kehilla, which unfortunately had this meat scandal. I leider ate many meals from Zohar :-(

Btw, any way to get LH F for cheap? Does the AC r/t reschedule later trick still work? Any other tricks? I used to be a frequent guest on LH F but now @110K it's a waste :-(

As for the kashrus, I spoke to a rov about a year ago about it, and he told me he tried going into the kitchen to check it out but they wouldnt let him in, which makes him very wary about it.

I just used that for my dad. Was no other way. But when its available for partners I guess AC is the cheapest option. No recent experience with the AC trick.

I read somewhere a while back that Zohar switched the Hashgachah.
