Connexion

I was able to connect and am currently online on a Lufthansa flight from Portland to Frankfurt.  I was able to connect with little trouble.  Lufthansa offers a free portal with news and instructions when you first log on.  If you are having any connection problems you can refer to the printed instruction booklets in your seat pocket.  Inside is a step by step guide should you need to reconfigure your browser.  I didn’t need to ask the flight attendant for help, but he did check in on me to make sure I was connected and seemed prepared to point me in the right direction should I need help.  The business section is split, so I can’t see all 36 seats or the 8 in first class, but the section I am in has 24 seats, and just 2 of us are on the network right now. 

Here are speed results from a ping report:

Minimum = 651ms, Maximum = 732ms, Average = 694ms

Lufthansa just refitted the business and first cabins on our airbus 340-A with seats that fully recline.  Mine was not working when we boarded, but there is a  manual override and a circuit that can be reset - that did the trick.  I’m looking forward to sleeping horizontal for a few hours and will enjoy a movie, or try out the playstation-like games.. for research sake. 

The snow crab starter has arrived - signing off for now.
