Currently  I am sitting in  a lounge at Frankfurt airport having found out that if you are leaving from certain "B" gates there is no lounge access unless you pass needlessly through passport and security control twice in B terminal. On the other hand you can sit in A terminal and go to your B gate via the long walk in the tunnel  with no need to pass security and with no risk of missing your flight through getting stuck in one of those long, slow queues that Frankfurt is famous for.
Of course nobody from Lufthansa will tell you this. As always LH ground staff have been arrogant, surly and generally unhelpful; as for asking if I can print one page from my computer !!! no interest in helping and no suggestions. The  value of the Senator Gold Card seemingly devalues with LH  day by day. Also you have to pay for wifi here whereas in Lisbon  today TAP gave it for free. This was the only saving grace however for an arline whose initials obviously stand for Totally Average Performance or perhaps Terribly Aged Personnel - the cabin crew were the oldest I have seen in years, nobody under about 40 I am guessing.

I have been in Brazil for 2 weeks reviewing operations in a team at a mine there. The main story can be found on the INB or IAEA websites. We were 5 people from all over the world and had a lot of work to do but it all went well.
The full tale  will be told later but it included a couple of flights in a Banderainte 110C twin turboprop, which were fun.
I will do the main post next week sometime as I have to turn round fast in Vienna tonight and go to Paris on terh 2020 AF flight ready  for a meeting tomorrow! It never stops...............
