UNEXPECTED OVERNIGHT STAY IN FRANKFURT

After hours of delay we finally made it to Frankfurt.  Too late to make our connection so they put us up at an airport hotel and on standby for a flight the next day.  Lufthansa also gave us about $30 each for dinner.  Hotel was clean and efficient.  Food at restaurant was not bad.

LUFTHANSA AIRLINES - SAN FRANCISCO TO DUBAI

Thought we would never get off the ground as our plane was idle on the tarmac for many hours.  So long in fact the crew decided to serve us our meal before we ever took off.  Food was terrible and after hours of delay which meant we would miss our connection we finally took off.  Thankful the plane was safe to fly but lost a day and night in an expensive hotel that we had already paid for.  Ended up in Frankfurt with no connection and an overnight delay.
Lufthansa put us up in a hotel in Frankfurt and placed us on standby the next day.  While we paid for First Class, two of us were placed in Coach to get on the flight to Dubai.

UNITED POLARIS LOUNGE - SAN FRANCISCO

Loved the United Polaris Lounge in San Francisco.  First time I have seen a sit down restaurant in an airport lounge.  We had to put our name on list and wait a bit, but once in the small area we were able to order off the menu and enjoy a really good lunch.  Food and service was good.  Bar was also nice with really nice bartenders that really took care of us.
