No train stations in the Caribbean, hence they have airport cats 🐈‍⬛ instead.

Lufthansa and MUC now claim it was all just a big mistake, as the weather was bad, only 1 or 3 buses were running in the night, and nobody bothered to escalate the matter. 🤯(LH also still claims that blankets and pillows were available, that's only true for the longhaul aircraft, not shorthaul. 🤦‍♂️)

They should adopt this as the standard livery.

I wish Aussies travelling to LAS good luck. The city has been pricing itself out of the tourist market for years with its eye watering charges. Hotels and restaurants fleece you before you even step into a casino.
