Hi there, does anyone have experience with flight cancellation and "credit"? They moved my tickets two weeks before departure and actually it was convenient, so I cancelled all flights for me and my partner (Prague-Bali and back). All I got was an email saying it was cancelled and to contact an assistant when I wanted to book something. I tried their ai assistant and he said the credit is non-transferable. But I have not been able to get more information from them yet, how it will actually work, nor have I received any info on how long the credit is valid, etc.. Thanks in advance :)
If you want to fly in the brand new A350, it will be possible from Prague for a while now.

I have tickets for December. Hopefully they'll open the first one :D
I'm such a jerk. I was sitting in the lounge in Zurich yesterday afternoon and had no idea that the first A350 was in the process of arriving there.
This is an opportunity for sprayers to add their tag.
Beautiful plane, I was lucky enough to try it out to the US and back with LH in C and it was really great. For anyone who is a fan of flying or who finds it convenient, the temporary deployment to Zurich is great, it's also available in C around the 11/17 holiday for reasonable money or miles with a little extra for taxis. For miles it's more worthwhile in business class as prices are already higher on the A350 (probably more demand), while for miles it's held to a fixed amount like other flights that day. And the Thursday-Monday rotation is a chance for a long weekend. And the Swiss flight attendants on the A330 over the Atlantic this year said they were really looking forward to the A350 :-)
@Lukas888. I've flown the A350 with LH in C a couple of times and it didn't strike me as "awesome".
The new LH cabin doesn't look great to me either. PE is terrible, worse than the original one and C is a mess. Then how long does it take to introduce a product, how much bragging did LH write and it doesn't even have doors except for the front seats.
But it's an improvement over the old one...
